2015 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Pt. 1

[MRB37]

Ravens had a win I see

Steelers kicker made Kurt Tippett look like a deadeye.

 

[Messiah]

I would nominate New Order (hell, cheat slightly and include Joy Division to get it closer to 40 years).

And if I want to be a dick (and I have had enough beers now that I do) I could also nominate ...

Genesis

and single artists (OK not bands)
- Bob Dylan
- Neil Young
- Nick Cave
- Miles Davis (pretty much any jazz musician really since jazz changes so much with the times)

That is without even trying. I could probably find 100 more if I started looking at slightly less popular musicians.

(PS. I agree with Joy Division/New Order)

EDIT1: Sting
EDIT2: David Byrne
EDIT3: Brian Eno

These are not necessarily my taste but I regard musicians who find their niche and stagnate as just being whores. Art is about changing - not stagnating.

^^ Bowie too.

Also this 1966 GF might be the worst game of footy I've ever seen.

Seem strange watching it now because there was no out of bounds on the full nor deliberate back then so wasting time by deliberately getting the ball over the boundary line was a legitimate tactic.

I think with the lack skills on display in this game it's hard to tell if someone is trying to kick it to a team mate, have a shot at goal or drill it out of bounds at any given moment.

 

[JP Sauce]

Touched! Clearly touched!

Seven have shown the 66 grand final on and off for the last 25 years, every time I see it I am continually underwhelmed.

The only things that are memorable about it are the margin and that it was St Kilda's only premiership other than that it's the worst standard grand final I have ever seen.

 

[MRB37]

The only good thing about this game is the umpiring. They're quick on the whistle to call a ball up, which I like.

Wow..so you are saying there is an actual Cleveland Browns organization in the league. Go figure.

The Bulldogs have had less success in terms of making grand finals, but St Kilda have the record for finishing last (27 wooden spoons) compared to only 4 wooden spoons for the Bulldogs.

 

[MRB37]

These grand final replays would suck for a Saints fan born after '66.

 

[kirky]

St. Kilda have been an embarrassment. 1 lucky flag, 27 spoons and how many top 10 draft picks?

Ravens beat Steelers - Patriots favourite to win AFC again it would seem.

I knew the Saints stunk. Just hadn't realized they have been bageled so long.

 

[Pugsley]

Especially 1997

 

[Pdub]

How little these players care about this longest kick, when there is $10k on the line is an example that they don't need any more money.

Bageled..

I'm gonna use that

Just as soon as I work out exactly what it means

Being shut out by your opponents without scoring

They could do the Jim Courier and swim in there

Couldn't happen to a shitter club!

 

[Pugsley]

Couldn't happen to a shitter club!

I'd prefer it'd happen to Geelong or our neighbours

 

[adelaidecrows]

I'd prefer it'd happen to Geelong or our neighbours

there are 119 reason it may happen for our neighbours to experience that joy!

 

[Pugsley]

there are 119 reason it may happen for our neighbours to experience that joy!

The taste is still so sweet. They'll be bitter for eternity

 

[kirky]

It will be interesting to see when they record goes, hopefully I'll be pushing up the daisies and doesn't happen in my lifetime (25-30 years or so to go).

 

[AmericanCrow]

Yes...and in this case having no rings/championships for so long....with the exception of our Crows I am quite the expert in teams being bageled lol

 

[little graham]

Especially 1997

How they made the GF???? We were decimated by injury but still a class above them.
