Team logo's - affect performance?

[The Hobo]

So me and my mates are drunk, and really bored, we decided to rank all the AFL teams, in terms of their mascot, or logo or whatever


Demons
Power
Bombers
Lions
Tigers
Kangaroos
Bulldogs
Eagles
Hawks
Cats
Magpies
Crows
Dockers
Swans
Saints
Blues


is what we came up with. We figured a demon would be unbeatable, electricity can kill all the rest, bombers would bomb the rest etc. (i dont even know if tha tmakes sense)

So yeh, this is the ladder we came up wtih, and we noticed something

Looking at all the teams, and their position on the ladder, MOST teams are 3 places within where they have been in the past 5 years or so. Some teams, maybe 4 spots. ie. Melbourne have been in or around the top 4, port, essendon etc. for the most part of the past few years. Particularly 01-03ish.

Carlton, Dockers, Saint kilda etc. were all languishing at the bottom mostly.

It all fits in and makes sense - Get a tougher logo (port have now shotgunned GOD Logo), and your team will play better footy and win more


Now updated!

Ahhh.. Sweet liquor dulls the pain.

 

[Thrawn]

Why are the Saints so low? Don't they work miracles? I'd have them above birds and a dog.

And if a kangaroo ever were in a fight vs a bulldog, it would win. You've never seen a ****ed off roo before - they have exceptionally strong leg muscles and very sharp claws on their feet. A kick or blow with such force, coupled with the agility and speed of the animal, would have it win.

Not to mention the obvious size advantage. You'd might wanna swap Lions with the Tigers too - the tiger is a more powerful and aggressive animal. Other than those three, your list is spot on.

Blues arnt real good for you either, ask David Hookes.

Also, if you were to take the word "navy" from navy blues literally then I guess that jumps us to 3rd.

But we're just the "Carlton Blues" so I guess last is justified.

Kinda getting used to it now

Worst. Post. Ever.

Surely you can find something better to do while on the drink.

And what would you suggest at 3:30 in the morning

 

[go team]

Best post this year
Keep up the late night drinking

May I also just add that a demon is a mythical creature, so it really doesn’t exist.

 

[rick James]

haha I'm tippin' there was a spliff or two invovled as well - seriosuly, great thread though.

Nah, they die for martyrdom. Put the pressure on and they go to water. Front runners!

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Aren't Dockers big wharfies? Surely they could kick the bejesus out of a cat or a swan?

Ultimately, every creature gets depressed. When you get the blues it can be your downfall. Just ask Beyond Blue.

I know, I'm clutching at straws.

oh man, i cant believe i wrote that!

Lol, i dont' think we knew exactly what a 'docker' was, we just assumed it was some dorky guy holding an anchor

probably could beat the crap out of a cat and a swan. I thought lions were stronger than tigers :S

and yeh, a roo could beat a bulldog

oh well close enough

Saints wouldn't hurt anyone, they're meant to be good people! Soft and nice

Only reason they're above the Blues, is that blues have no form of attack!

The Blues sneak up on people ... insidious. It's all very psychological.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

I find this thread humerous. Well done

It is a taboo to kill a swan in some countries since they had been used as a symbol or weapon insignia for important families (England for example has a written law against killing swans; perpetrators who deliberately kill a swan are seriously prosecuted).

Swans are revered in many religions and cultures, especially Hinduism. The Sanskrit word for swan is hamsa or hansa, and it is the vehicle of many deities like the goddess Saraswati. It is mentioned several times in the Vedic literature, and some swans have also been said to have the knowledge of the Supreme Being Brahman.

Dude - have another drink and keep working. This is a masterpiece.

This is true. I see the wharfies scream with fear every time a swan lands in the water in front of them down at the Freo docks and run for their lives.

 

[walken79]

By the way, speaking of swans, I wish one of the WA teams had been called the 'Black Swans'.
We'd kick the e out of these fancy white Sydney ones.

Haha beat me to it. Also, if you've ever seen a Magpies swoop any kind of dog... you'd know that dogs arn't quick enough to catch them. Not sure any bird of prey could kill a Bulldog though considering the effort they have to put into taking off again?

Good > Evil

Saint > Demon.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Magpies can crap and swoop all over anyone else!

 

[The Hobo]

Good > Evil

bah, that's only in the movies

 

[m.diddy]

bah, that's only in the movies

And you seriously can't say that something that can do miracles and is better than a human can't beat a dog, swan, cat, kangaroo, eagle, hawk, magpie, crow, lion, tiger and a wharf???? Dude, come on.
