The AFL is boring now

[mantis]

Exactly. Maybe you should accept that other people are also like this and have their own preferences for sport, instead of trying to force soccer down our throats and criticising footy.

Well said.

 

[mattys123]

Yeah, no interest in the AFL at the moment.

30,800 people turned up at the MCG to watch the bottom 2 teams play.

37K turned up at Subi to watch 2 of the best 2 teams play.

Yep, No Interest.

65k will turn up tomorrow to watch 12th play 2nd, yeah, no interest.

PISS OFF BACK TO THE ROUND BALL BOARD AND STOP ANNOYING US AUSSIE RULES FANS.

So, I wonder why did Australia just recently drop out of the race to host the 2018 World Cup? Speaks volumes, IMO. Won't be long until they give up on 2022 aswell.

It works this way: if you do what every other uneducated, impoverished person in the rest of the world does, that's called being cosmopolitan.

But if you follow only your very own game, born and raised in this very land, that's called narrow minded and insular.

Its laughable really.

 

[Pessimistic]

There's no interest in it atm. We all expected it to happen, just funny to see.


We'll have to wait for the World Cup to be over

Try watching an interesting team

 

[finders]

You mean the mods who need an entire sub forum on their main board dedicated to soccer? Yeah, they're gonna ban me.


Face it guys, AFL is in the shadows. Its why this forum exists!

Shadows of what ?Surely you dont mean the boring bullshit soccer WC and BTW whats with the half full stadiums for the "worlds greatest sporting spectcale"?

I dont see the AFL trembling in their boots just because a sport followed mostly by european migrants and their kids are having a tournament telecast in the middle of the night.I wouldnt think the FTA stations are overly worried either.

Lets face it 5 mins WC highlights on the 6 pm news and you see everything that was worth watching anyway!

i thought they were taking a 4 week break now so we could watch the world cup in peace



and what do you mean boring now, that implies at one point it wasnt boring

 

[Barkly St End]

I hate being right all the time.

I said I would awake at half time to find a 2-0 scoreline in favour of Germany, and I was spot on the money.

As I usually am.

Re: The AFL is great now

LOL at another lame troll starting another lame thread and making a fool of themself.

I'll stick to Jack Riewoldt kicking 10 goals in a game and 5 in a quarter thanks and seeing a young side coming through together as a unit playing passionately for each other and the team .

Low standards. Its very boring!

You must be talking about the soccer world cup. Or even the "Australia" soccer team.

Honestly, ever seen a sport with such bad technical ball skills? What about those goalkepers who are so unco they can't even pick up a ball. Elite athletes my arse.

They're not half full! Get your facts right! They're at least 60% full.

Was it worth getting up at 5:00 to see Australia get a shellacking?

YOu bet!!

ps TImmy Cahill is almost as big a git as Podalski

I think you need do some reading between the lines.

Yep the pollies will be re thinking if its a good idea to squander all that money on this BS.

You would think Rudd would run a million miles from this disaster ATM and Abbott and Hockey will have to cut costs massively if they get in Govt so they wont be inclined to waste money on the soccer circus.

That's one thing I prefer to watch, rather than the Socceroos. Jack Riewoldt is going to be a gun. I loved watching the FOOTBALL yesterday, it was great viewing.

 

[CAS79]

OK Im an AFL who can get enjoyment out of Australia in soccer and there is a lot of shit spoken on both sides of this debate on here.

However while Pim is coach of the Australian soccer team darts is far more entertaining than the Socceroos.

You'd think Abbott would have already been on the ball and kept the pressure up on Rudd re the bid and costs in the Lower House ... I haven't seen that happen yet. Though with the libs portraying the image of being economic nonces at the moment, that's not surprising.

 

[Barkly St End]

The WC bid has bilateral support.

Let's not forget that the donations go to both parties.

 

[le dominateur]

Great last quarter Melbourne v Collingwood. The physical pressure and speed of the game was intense. Even the worst game of Australian Football >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> best game of the SnoreBall World Cup.

 

[finders]

Yep 68,000 at the MCG on a sunny day with two teams going hard at it and not a pathetic farce writhing tackle to be seen .

Now thats what you call REAL football!

Not some pissy soft game where women are almost as good as men = a shealias game.

 

[Barkly St End]

It was great to hear the ABC commentators talk it up afterwards, quite rightly, saying that the WC games played to date aren't a patch on the game they had just witnessed.

Just because something happens overseas, doesn't make it better.

 

[W.C. Fry]

I dont mind a little bit of soccer. But even I feel it to be exactly like The Simpsons portray it 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time its pretty decent tho.
