2014 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[Sanders]

I would be willing to bet every single bit of merchadise from every single AFL club would be make using third world labour

That's some 3rd world Grammar

 

[Archie87]

All clubs have a "culture". All it means is "shared values/attitudes between a group of people". Supporters make it seem like that "culture" is unique to their particular club but has anyone noticed that the so called "Bloods" culture, "Shinboner Spirit", "Creed"/"1870" or whatever they want to call it, all have very similar traits? That is: team first before individual, self-sacrificing, hard-working, etc. Hardly unique then. Geelong/Hawthorn/Brisbane in the early 2000s would all argue they had/have similar values, even Fremantle now would.

How'd that 1870BC culture go on the weekend just gone when Port got beaten by a 20 year old "franchise with no history" in Fremantle?

You are a veteran on this board, what was the Crows forum like in 2007 on the last day in September??? Do you remember??

Vader??? Drugs Are Bad Mackay?

Just curious thats all.

Different type of posting to nowadays.
I was here before, during and after the game. Not too sure that would be the case nowadays, at least not for many posts.
I also used to come on here after your losses and post my opinion on your game. Definitely not the case nowadays.

Noticed the sweat shop in Fiji working over time to get the jumpers ready for the Power this weekend.

Are our jumpers made in Australia?

I don't get why they are being made in Fiji. There are plenty of people in Alberton, between prison sentences, who have free time on their hands. Surely there's only so much of the day you can spend having intercourse with cousins.

 

[Vader]

Can you imagine if something like that played out on Sunday?

This thread could literally double in days and there would probably be the festival of red cars on the Port board, with Crows fans saying "hello" on there.

I wasn't online that day. I was camping on the south coast of NSW with friends. I did get to watch the game though and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

 

[Bacon8]

Whats the story with Never tear up our tarps youtube clip I came across??? lol

I rolled in laughter. Who wrote it and performed it?? I presume only Crows supporter?

Is 360 still a wank fest with the Power?

The words were written by someone on another SA footy forum about 3 weeks before Nick Gill's video.

A mate of mine did a version before Gill's, but his voice was worse than Nick so he never published it.

Man the Bomber's troubles have a long way to play out yet.

I'd be getting in the ear of every player worth a damn at Essendon at the moment. Ryder would be a huge pick up.

I was at work at Kilkenny. As my manager and I were the only Crows supporters in the whole store, we took great delight in discussing the progress of the game loudly.

Everyones diary is full with the dental clinic open this week and cashies offering reduced interest and no ID required on goods hocked.

depends if the players then get sanctioned later on...

 

[DD#23]

Gutless wonders? Funny how many true hard men only seem to make this type of call from behind their keyboards

I'll make this call from where ever you want me to mate, we have players who are courageous going for the ball, but with nearly the soul exception of Tex (I'll give Kerridge, Smith and the Crouch brothers a pass mark) they are completely piss-weak when it comes to supporting each other.

opposition taggers would be laughing every time they play us, they get to hammer Dangerfield all afternoon and barely cop a single tackle in his defence. Watch the good teams who have a bit of spirit iron these guys out at every opportunity. Thommo and Jacobs barely bat an eyelid when Danger got smashed off the ball and after the siren by Gia, its disgraceful. That shit doesn't fly in my ammo team for christ's sake and the shirt punches aren't caught in super slow-mo there for later scrutiny I can assure you.

 

[Hank93]

To be honest all I really remember clearly fron that period was the fallout from Massie on Franklin.

Even though we'd finished 8th the finals draw had really opened up for us. The Hawks were young and in their first finals series - there for the taking. Week 2 would have been the Kangas who we absolutely owned at the time. Then it would have been Dream Final II in the preliminary.

Every planet aligned and in a funny way was an easier run to the GF than 2005/2006.

119 certainly got a lot of airplay though as time went on, as did 2>1 after a brief hiatus.

I'd agree with the easier run than 05/06.

We'd beaten Port both times that season as well. What might have been.

Our Club is the story of what "could have been".

1993, 2005,2006, 2012.

There is no way whatsoever that we were not in the box seat to win the flag in those 4 years.

We would have had complete control and ruled football in SA and been a powerhouse juggernaut in the AFL.

I will concede that without 93 failure, there may have not been flags in 97 and 98. But in 04 and 05 there just should have been one flag in those years.

EDIT - wrong years should be 05 and 06 not 04,05. Sorry.

I think you mean 2006, 2004 we won 8 games, Ayers got the arse and featured the infamous 141 point loss to the Lions.

I know what you mean, in 2004 we could have beaten anyone in the finals! If only we hadn't finished 12th.

 

[GROTTO]

Kudos to the mods - Allefgib glad you (or your mates) closed down the Dangerfield thread to Melbourne thread.

Have you guys developed a zero tolerance to trolls?

You could almost add 2002 in there. I agree totally, AFC get called out for underachievement and no GF's in 15 years and it is rightfully so. 06 and 12 should have been 2 grand final appearances, whether or not we take the flag.

It is upsetting and depressing to have no GF appearance since 98. Dogs and Tigers are the only teams worse than us?

I feel a little sad and sorry for the Dogs and Tigers supporters, I just dont see them in a GF for many more years too, if that too.

 

[Niximus]

To be fair, while we can certainly put a few years down in the "could have been" basket, I think you'd find most teams would have their own.

Collingwood would feel they missed a chance for back to back on 02-03
likewise Essendon could have made more of a team that went 21-1 in 2000
Geelong would look unfavourably at the 90's, and the Kangaroos while they got 2 flags, could have won 4 in a row 96-99.
The Saints blew three chances at a flag recently, and the Bulldogs could argue that they blew a couple too.

 

[crowsup]

I would like to ask one question. Please do not feel pressured to answer. The question is: Does a club's 'Culture' make the team play better, or, does winning games make a club's 'Culture'?
The reason I ask is because, it seems to me, that 'Culture' goes out of the window when a team is losing a lot of games but comes right back as soon as the team starts to win games.

Everyone hypes up the Essendon team of 2000 but the 2001 Brisbane team was SO much better! 2001 is the ultimate in Victorian arrogance, Brisbane I think were undefeated from about the start of June and because they weren't Victorian got completely ignored until GF day.

 

[footy4ever]

Ok, Port going hard after Tex.

Walker to Port for long term contract $1,000,000 per year, according to Kingy.

Alrighty then.

The best part about this is if it did happen would be seeing the port posters do a 180 in regards to their opinion on tex the dickhead mullet hopeless bogan.
