How the AFL's wheel of fortune turns in football

Featured Replies

Hi fellow posters,

I opened the Big Paper and scrolling through to the sports pages I noted the article with Lindsay Gilbee clenching a high tech pill between his teeth. In our fast paced world of economic and financial hardship its interesting to note that these expensive technological advances are being used by some supposed " Blue Collar Battlers". These are the clubs who are formally pledging their financial woe to the aFL for funding and handouts to make ends meet. Needless to say that Vlad and his crew of merry followers have commissioned new playing facilities for the bulldogs players. I do ask are we the most inauspicious club in the AFL?. I recently had the infuriating experience of sitting with a group of bulldogs supporters at an AFL match. Cameron Bruce led for the ball on members wing and a bulldogs supporter barked " Go on up to Queensland where you belong" encased within a tirade of other expletives we dont need to indulge. In all seriousness I saw a lady sitting on a picnic blanket not five meters from me and considered vaulting her from it and pointing out that it was a mere ten years ago that the bulldogs were grappling for their own financial existence. They traipsed the flanks of the whiten oval trawling the grass for extra dollars and asking people like beggars for even 20 cents. They highlighted the ineptness of their own club by fielding commercials with Doug Hawkins single handedly slaughtering phonetic eticut and with it the english language as we know it. Now in the penultimate year of a new decade we are lead to believe by the bulldogs supporters that they are on the brink of financial obscurity, but somehow they can find the cash to buy these pills which cost $ 55 dollars each.

What is going on in the ranks of the AFL I ask you?

:angry:

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
