i can't remember where I was sitting at that match but just remember Burkey and Cookiemonster taking out North's ruck man who I have just gone blank on his name. That was when all the Saints fans near me went ******* feral (me included)- it was like lord of the flies with people hoping he'd be dead or in a wheel chair. It absolutely erupted, it was like circuit breaker moment and the relief set us all off. I took a family member who was an older lady and had been a North fan as a kid and a whole bunch of Saints mates. I don't think she would have gone back to the footy again after that.

They sandwiched McKernan, brutal stuff.

Your boy Heatley loved playing against Norf Defacto

remember this before he went to the saints. mifka a police officer started the grand final by king hitting heatley behind play without any warning/push and shove

that was McKernan. I recall a lot of rain but a lovely evening, crystal like in its clarity. Very fine match which should have translated into success the following week.

The Dockers coach is changing his style of leadership as he continues his quest for an elusive AFL flag.

Keep an eye out in 2nd tier of the Ponsford stand, front row. A good looking bloke in his late 20s with a beer in his hand welling up in the eyes late in the last qtr

Why you telling them to look out for me?

Was an awesome atmosphere. I clearly remember walking to the pub numb that I was finally going to see our boys in a GF. Sadly, as always seems to happen for us, things just all fell apart the next week.

Just watched a doco on the Buffalo Bills who lost 4 Super Bowls in a row 1990-93 . At least we aren't them . That would be too much

Four Falls Of Buffalo is brilliantly done. Great doco that all sports fans could enjoy watching (except actual Bills fans)

Victory Vs Wanderers
Flares at Soccer games again
Why the hell would a grown man wanna take a flare to a game? Grow the F*** UP fellas.

And for the record im not rubbishing the sport of Soccer. Just the Knobs taking Flares in.

 

[MacMum]

Was very pleased late last night to hear the presenter on SEN overnight show (never know which one is which with them) absolutely rip into the thugs who do that sort of stuff at the soccer. Stressed it wasn't the majority of Wanderers fans, just thugs who are damaging the image of the sport and that no-one wants them at the games..

..also said just because it's done in Europe doesn't mean it must be done here.

He was really fired up about it and good on him for it

Legend of the club IMO

Understand why people don't like him now but these are the same
People who are happy he didn't coach us through the rebuilding years so it makes no sense

I'm just glad they don't have the stupid vezuvela's here

im guessing you meant those stupid 'vuvuzela' horns mate.
Yeah they are extremely bloody anoying arent they.
BUT at least they arent illegal and dangerous like flares are.
Flares have nothing to do with 'passion' or 'culture' of the sport. Just dickheads causing trouble.

Everytime I watch the Super Bowl half time entertainment it reminds me of how much the AFL gets it wrong almost every year for the Grand Final.
It's like they have no imagination, is run by someone pinching the pennies and/or is about 10 years out of date.
Why is it so hard?
FGS spend the money and give us something to be proud of!

I hear ya but Super Bowl tickets cost an absolute fortune because of it!
I'd rather keep our GF with good Aussie bands at half time. Keep it Aussie and unique.

Yeah we don't necessarily need international stars. Can do it with new hot Australian artists.

I barely even watch the half time show. drink/smoke/toilet break

I still think they could do yet another stupid reality TV show.
You get a heap of local bands , they play half time entertainment throughout the season.
As the season winds to a close some of them are getting more popular and have been featured on TV.

By the time you get to the Grand Final you get a winner playing their big hit.

By default they sound good in a Stadium.

Id rather they do nothing than waste money on huge acts. It doesn't change the crowd numbers. AFL footy is enough unlike the super bowl that goes for 4 hours but actual play in about 20 minutes.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I kind of LOL'd when they got Meatloaf BEFORE he sang.
I'd seen him in a small club in between his original hits and his "Back into hell comeback"
Yeah i got my 20 bucks worth, but i really didn't see it as a big act.

Thing is it either has to be an Australian act or an overseas act who is "Already going to be here" because no-one will fly out here for 2 or 3 songs at half time unless they are paid really really stupid money.

No not MORE reality TV!

There's plenty of good Aussie bands. (That have come through with proven talent. Not by winning a competition) Keep it local. It's the AFL GF and we love it. It shouldn't be trying to be something it's not. It's a waste of time and money. You watch it for the game not the halftime entertainment. It's uniquely Australian and we should keep it that way.

That's what i was getting at though. Use local bands at half time throughout the season, give them exposure as they go, then use the best ones for the finals.
