2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[Swooping Crow]

The ferals had the lowest crowd at AO yet they proclaim to be the most passsionate and loyal. The time slot and weather is a lame excuse. We had more at a Norf game on a more miserable night. Further proof their supporters are hipster frauds who flee at the first sign of adversity.

Some on the pork board think their black jumper gives them a special power aesthetically over other clubs. Try telling that to Hawthorn.

If you don't have Foxtel this is a great watch.

Must be a Port supporter in charge of the SA Govt IT department, I can't access this from my works computer anymore. I will be stuffed if they add Bigfooty to the banned site list.

This line is amazing!

Port was narrowly beaten by Greater Western Sydney last weekend despite taking a significant lead into half-time and sits 10th on the ladder as it prepares to take on the Brisbane Lions on Saturday night.

Significant half time lead = 20 points.

Narrowly beaten = 19 points.

Retro Round: Forgotten Footy Facts


To celebrate this weekend’s ‘Retro Round’ here are some fact from footy’s glorious past that most people have forgotten.

• A pie at the footy in the 80s cost 60 cents. Asking for sushi would get you a blank stare. Asking for a salad would end in a fight
• Footy commentators would sometimes say racist or sexist things. This of course could never happen today and would be instantly career ending
• Watching footy at a suburban ground would often result in fans contracting trench foot and/or lock jaw. It was all in good fun though
• A ‘concussion test’ meant an opponent would whack you in the head again to see if you’d get back up
• Fans would often abuse indigenous players, often with racist slurs or booing. Unthinkable in our more enlightened age
• Once the entire 1936 Carlton team sunk in the mud in the centre, never to be seen again
• Serving ‘mid-strength’ beer would have resulted in the grandstand being burnt to the ground
• Smoking was limited to the quarter and three quarter time huddles in 1927 after numerous eye injuries when attempting to tackle a player with a lit cigarette
• A ‘pressure act’ was standing on an opponent’s head while he was lying in the mud
• Footy boots once weighed 30 kilos and resulted in most players staying in their positions for most of the games
• Drug testing was once used to ensure players had actually taken their drugs
• A ‘salary cap’ was where the players’ salaries were kept during the game. It was usually worn by a local gangster to ensure no one stole it
• A ‘hard ball get’ was when a player kicked the ball onto the road and someone had to go get it with their stops on

Following Port Power really is a religion then. Dumb F####!

I just saw a flock of budgies fly out of Bartel's beard.

Fck me! Kockhead on 5AA every Monday morning. They've lost me as a listener.

I bailed on the AA snapperheads years ago. He'll fit in very well.

Are they deliberately trying to alienate more than half the state ?
I can tolerate AA only because of Bicks.

Speaking of chins - did anyone see how fat Rudd's got now ?

(Jesus ..James Hird's dad's ears, Kev's guts - I'm turning into Shallow Hal!)

Bartel is doing it for a cause to do with domestic violence IIRC.

I don,t listen to 5AA but this will just be pear fest. Hopefully, for most of the SA radio listening public, his stint will only be a ten minute smart arse repartee.

Will the Kocherama never end?

The club is tapped out. There really is not much they can do. There will be no real change.

No room to move on players, as they are all contracted on fat contracts. Lobbe showed last year he would not move on.
No room to move on salary cap, last year they were legally over 100%
No money to sack high priced non performing coaches and replace them, ie Hinkley, Voss, Burgess.

They will retire Schulz, Stewart, delist Mitchell and say they made some changes.

Then build next year's PR around Gus and Paddy being back.

The longer they remain delusional that they require minimum change & not far off the flag the better. Please no reality checks.

Kudos to rooch & kornes for blowing smoke up their collective arses... Even though I can't listen to either.

4 teams worse off and still in the 8.

Bartels is a statement against domestic violence

If you are watching FoxFooty. It's a fapfest.
