Roast Chris Fagan: 'Gold Coasters aren't interested in footy'

[Haso]

If the AFL truly had their finger on the pulse of QLD and NSW culture, they'd know this.

I fully agree with this.

 

[Mr Bods]

I'm having a lot of trouble translating this post, but you seem to have a lot of misdirected anger.

Here we go another self-entitled rude BrisC fan coming in here being snarly.
Good.

 

[SandyToes]

And with the above in mind, an injury troll is a bit of a dick move.

Particularly when it was sustained during an activity for The Big Freeze, if I'm not mistaken?

 

[Haso]

Excuse me sir, but this Simpsons gifery is my shtick.

 

[Haso]

self-entitled

If i can't be entitled for myself, who else will be?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

If we're going to slam any team in the media, whether you're Brisbane or Gold Coast, it should be squarely focused on GWS or Sydney. Those are our state's REAL rivals.

Huh? Sydney are annoying, but my ire is reserved for Victorians in general and Collingwood in particular. I don't imagine many Lions fans would consider Sydney more of a rival than the black and white scum.

Or Port.

******* Port.

The thing that annoys me is that the standard fallback position is that Gold Coast is a plastic franchise selling a plastic AFL experience.

Whether that is from a thoughtful senior coach quickly trying to come up with something relevant to say or a bunch of media blowhards who pander to an entitled Victorian AFL base (or actually think that way).

The first thing to comes to mind is they think we are plastic.

That is what really really annoys me. Which means that whoever says it deserves our scorn.

If Lions fans don't like our scorn after Fagan says what he thinks, too bad. Fagan has some work to do to get out of the same hole we put Dwayne Russell and Mick Warner.

bit of a quandary for Stewie now in how he deals with Fagan because he has shown him a lot of respect and deference in the past and been very supportive and complimentary of Fagan, I think Stewie needs to probably bare some teeth subtly now Fagan is drinking his own bathwater

Send that link to the pro Tasmania, anti-GC Suns geriatrics who have popped their heads up lately.

Oh you seem nice enough. I only dislike the club and any fan with severe entitlement. Richmond are getting to that stage too where many of their fans are full of hubris.

No worries. I'm used to it.

Because of you Jen I’ll be going for Collingwood these finals once GWS and Footscray are eliminated.
Collingwood are my number 3 preference of the top 8. Good job.

Thanks mate! You're very kind.

 

[Mr Bods]

Am waiting for Fagan to be man enough to apologise for his despicable comments or at least a journo to ask him a question that gives him the opportunity to either stand by them or back peddle

I'm the same.

 

[jackenny]

I'm still going for Brisbane. With Luke Hodge winning the Norm Smith.

Forgiveness is divine and all that.

 

[Peel67skin]

I going for GWS. I think once they won't a premiership the team will break up. Collingwood president is sh**house. I like Bulldog poster here ****. Brisbane take all the second and third round pick and yet still want to get ah chee cheap f*** it.

I agree, I hate the term plastic as well. And if you look at the history of new teams coming into the AFL,they were mostly created from nothing.

West Coast - Created by AFL (1986) to create a national comp to bail out VFL clubs (just like a credit card) no affiliation with a WA club

Brisbane Bears - Created by AFL (1987) to create a national comp to bail out VFL clubs (just like a credit card) no affiliation with a Qld club

Adelaide - Created by AFL (1990) to create a national comp to bail out VFL clubs (just like a credit card) no affiliation with a SA club

Fremantle - Expansion by AFL (1995) $4 million license, no affiliation with a WA club

Port - Expansion by AFL after Fitzroy and Bears merger (1997) Only club who had an affiliation with a state club before coming into AFL

South Melbourne was moved by VFL to Sydney.
