Talking Footy

ok, so in the past the swans have been guilty to not only lose the opening rounds. but to lose them in a manner that is boring and very low scoring dull games.

i hope we can turn it around this week and break the cycle.

plus swans arn't cheats. they dont need to cheat. mind you in saying that, don't all teams look to take advantage of rules to put them ahead of the other team.

we might not like it, but its how the game is played today. if teams don't do this, they fall behind and don't have a chance in hell of making the top 8

ive never heard of this tunneling before now what exactly is the problem with it???

Likewise kaskill, I hadn't heard of the so called tunnelling tactics until it was in the paper this week. This is what it is all about I think:




Not exactly sure what the problem is either. No doubt most footy fans are wondernig the same thing. Please no more rule changes. The game is supposed to be physical isn't it.

yeah what happend to the old days were they use to snot players in the nose!!! hahaha nuh i agree leave the damn game alone i mean the rules have already been changed to a disgrace i went to the port Vs geelong game last weekend and got a teeth clenching reminder of that bleeping hands in the back rule

you guys are right, i havn't heard of this tunneling rule at all in the past.

and yes again, too many rule changes make the game too weak and boring. we love watching a physical game with many clashes. its what adds to the excitment of the game.

it also helps us out after the game when we want to carrying on about how dirty a player is or when we lose unfairly. it helps us make excuses and gives us something to talk about on such forums as this.

Hey i was watching the collingwood vs brissy game last night and couldnt help but notice dale thomas so called "tunnelling" but not a word was spoken about it????
i think st kilda were just being sooks or nick rewolt was having another cry like he's known to do

i think your right there kaskill.

and what a turn around by the swans, such a big difference within one week. they looked like a totally different team.

watch out cos the swanies are on a role. will one games good enough for me anyway.
