The Association Football AFL Thread

The comeback only works if you’re going to Tassie. Take lots of pics. Fully confident we won’t be finishing last this year

From Geelong he’ll still be able to get his tassie inbred photos quota

Jesus I hate AFL matches in Tassie. Corportote greed from the league. If they want a team in Tassie then shut up about it and put one in Tassie full time. Half measures are so stupid.

Boy! We’ve been over this before.
He who has lived among sheep shaggers cannot throw stones.

This gave me a laugh, stolen from another forum.

This is like watching footy from the good old days

 

[Sozabarus]

******* Port. Didn’t a Cornes brother once stick his finger up the other brothers arse during a goal celebration?

I suppose... #culture

What's the problem if it's consensual? Homophobe.

2 weeks for Duman for a love tap yet you have campaigners dropping others with full on whacks to the gut and getting nothing. Once again the Freo rule strikes again at the MRP. If only his name was Buddy or Dangerfield.

Must admit I was wrong on O'Connor thought he'd never make it.
He's just put Breust in his back pocket.

You also cringed at the Miers selection so....

I did. But I never questioned if he'd make it, just didn't think he was ready.
He was.

Here we go. The media turning the booing into a Folau liking story

 

[Magma]

i thought he was just one of those players that got booed for being good. happens to buddy too. and the huge cheer when the mistakes happen. only happens to the best. the media overdrive about it has been odd. nothing malicious, always thought with a guy like ablett is was pretty light hearted.

 

[jd2010]

The media want to turn it into a story. The club in the gun to get whacked this week is norf which isn’t newsworthy enough so they’re trying to create a headline

Ablett doesn't normally get booed, so...

 

[Art Vandelay_]

He’s been booed at Hawks games for years. Was last year, was at the Suns.

Why, who knows.

Never noticed then, my mistake.

I guess because of the Geelong/Hawk rivalry and hes a gun.

We should be in the gun, but we arent relevant enough.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Ablett has been boo’d by just about every team we’ve played since returning to Geelong, it’s nothing new, but the media will go with the ‘he was boo’d because of the Izzy like’.

Same with North

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Melbourne? Surely being one of the pre-season flag favourites should garner them more heat.

Freo are challenging the suspension.

Yes I think this nails it. Such a strange quirk of sport whereby a great of the game is acknowledged with booing. I personally think it’s a bit petty, and am unsure what these links to Folau are (did Ablett agree with him or something?)

Ablett (and Matt Kennedy) liked his tweet.

Ahh okay, I get it now. Well, that can easily be interpreted as an “endorsement” of the s**t Folau was spouting. Not good.
