grow up tossers.....

A precedent started in the Vic versus Dream Team game.
The dipsticks done up as goal umps on the ground started a 'fire in the hole' glow stick frag war. Sticks were flying everywhere.

Welcome to the 'Fluro Wars'

(psst.....who cares?)

 

[kizzaob]

yeh didn't really bother me....but all the people around me winging about it bothered me, so therefore, it did bother me ha......glow sticks = ga.yest shit out.

It's hard not to laugh... I know its dangerous and stuff.. but just like laughing at someone falling over in the street or a footy getting kicked into the crowd and hitting someone in the head, it was just funny to see everyone trying to throw them into the net/at people on the ground.

Mean though. And no, I wasn't one of the idiots throwing them.

 

[tigertiger]

i thought it was funny too, i mean they give everyone something that looks good flying through the air in the dark then turn the lights off what do you expect to happen.

No one gets hurt they are little soft sticks, stop whinging about everything you lot

There was a group below me doing it and someone complained about people throwing glow sticks, so the cops came up and out of all people came up to me where i was sitting with two ladies waiting for my other mate to get back and told me if i kept throwing them id be out.
I didn't even get a glow stick. ____ing bull____.

Except for one kid getting one in the face after the game.

He was a little smart ass kid who was an Essendon supporter so he deserved it.

Has the AFL set the benchmark for the gayest pre game entertainment ever?
i mean glowsticks, setting the ground on fire, random Aboriginal recording artists, a 10000000hr long highlight montage of every kick, mark, goal, handball etc of Michael Long ( cos he's the only aboriginal player to ever play AFL footy Maurice Rioli doesnt get a mention?)

...and the fact that the entertainment was on the MCC side where the stands were empty.

They should have had it on the other wing where all the people were.

probably cos who ever was choreographing the whole thing was standing there in the stand

So disrepectful that glow sticks were thrown. Glow Sticks have been such an important part of aboriginal hertiage for 47,000 years now, the AFL was so insightful to use them as they mean so much for aboriginal culture, and to have them just thrown back would have been crushing.

i was very disappointed that the aboriginal elder that I see covered in paint at footscray station most weeks on my way to uni wasnt one of the people invited

Glow stick tossers = knuckledraggers

looking at their end there was an essendon cheer squad of approx. a dozen people...
like rats off a sinking ship

I think the prematch entertainment should be taken off the agenda next year. It's like de ja vu staring at a group of people sitting on 3 round pieces of cloth while watching fat people dancing in nappies. Paul Kelly usually puts everyone to sleep very quickly anyway

Yeah. I watched the replay this morning and couldnt remember half of the pre game stuff. Shows how much i was paying attention.
I think alot of others would be the same.

 

[cotcha now]

disapointing that they couldnt even make the distence to the oval..

Paul Kelly was the only good thing about the pre game. As always.

"Stand up and be counted"? No thanks, im comfortable sitting down, just count the bloke next to me.

Maurice Rioli-the grandmaster.

Why he never gets a mention I'll never know.


Ah Richmond again.

 

[tucker777]

maybe we should get Maurice to walk to Canberra and he might get a gig next year
