I've moved over to the UK in the last year. The atmosphere at premier league games are amazing compared to afl. They have songs for all their players and it's constant chanting, singing; they even sing about previous players who have moved to the other team, it's great. I'm no soccer fan; but...
Hi,
I read the board rules and it doesn't mention that this is not allowed so I hope I'm not breaking any rules.
I have one more eagles season ticket available for someone who is interested in coming to the football with us. My friend who is trying to sell wants to hold onto the membership but...
Is the new 80 changes per game interchange rule actually going to be implemented next year?
If this is true, it'll mean that endurance is going to be more important, and that should in theory advantage our smaller midfielders. I'm not sure on the endurance levels of the bigger midfielders in...
I've been a member since 2003, I read every now and then and contribute infrequently, but I enjoy the site when I come on. Hard to beat must have the world record for posting, I noticed he has posted over 1400 times in just over a month. Wtf??? That's over 35 posts a day. I wonder how many...
Exactly! If we were getting drilled as badly as last year, I would be calling for Woosha's head. But we are playing much better this year, don't kid yourself, how exciting was it when our young team took it up to Hawthorn in Tassie, the Swans in Sydney and also the Lions in Brisbane? Not to...
Seriously, even though I hate the dockers, in a way i envy them. It's the pain you through that makes success worthwhile. When the dockers win the flag (one day maybe...), there will be one HUGE party that I will be looking on jealously at.
To all supporters:
I'm sure we all agree that last night was disappointing, but here are a few statistics, that will show that we've improved out-of-sight this year.
-Last year we were flogged (Around 10 goal losses) ten times, including a twenty goal hiding against Geelong & many 100pt+...
I don't know if this has been done already, but I want to give a big thumbs up to Mark Nicoski and John Worsfold for sticking with him. He's had a few shocking games this year, but has improved plenty towards the end of the season, it pretty good to see that all bagging that went his way has...
Do you guys think he will ever be a star of the competition?
His disposal is often very bad. He obviously has plenty of courage and desperation which is great at the moment and was one of my favourite players during our glory years, but I thought he would be better than he currently is...
I think the fact that 4 teams change division every year will ensure club loyalty because it's easier to get into the top league. I think there would be excitement over promotion as well, as fans would like to see how their new team will do against the big boys. It would be a pretty spiteful...
I come from a soccer backround and sometimes the relegation battle is more interesting than who wins the league. There would be a lot more close games as crap clubs are in the different leagues from good clubs and could cut out tanking. The standard in the second tier would obviously not be AFL...
With the draw currently unfair imo, couldn't we introduce 2 leagues, and create 8 new teams. Features of the new system:
- 12 teams per league. 2 tiers, Premiership and second tier ala soccer.
- Everybody plays everyone within their league twice, still playing 22 games a season.
- Still...
