Indigenous All Stars v West Coast Eagles


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Tuned in to the second quarter. All Stars are up by 10 at the main break. Heard Jetta and JKH's name a couple of times. One was a "slick" handball from JKH, the other was an errant kick from Jetta. Sounds like both are playing back.

Shane Yarran also stating his case to be on an AFL list. You'd think would be worth a punt somewhere.

Very frustrating that this isn't being televised.

Are you suggesting that we have to adore everything the AFL dishes up LL?

It is a practice match by two groups I have little interest in.

We don't have to be interested - I'm not much interested myself. The point is that it's of immense significance to indigenous footballers throughout the country, not just those in the AFL. These blokes are very proud to play in this game.

Josh McGuiness is about the least indigenous sounding name that I've ever heard.

Micky O'Laughlan says 'top of the morning' to you.

Apparently the all stars have just 2 players over 190cm... so they are at a major disadvantage when it comes to height. Haven't heard Nev mentioned a lot, but Lewis Jetta is getting quite a bit of it.

I think we all have a man crush on Nev Jetta.. the guy is a beast!

He almost came from nowhere at the perfect time to dominate the leagues best small forwards. We didn't have a good small defender, now we have an elite one.

I love it when a player works really hard and turns their game around as Jetta has done.

Shows how committed he is and how much he wants it.

Other players should take note.

Goodluck for 2015 and beyond Jetta.

I hope you get the opportunity some time this year to tell the two guys playing tonight how you feel. I'm sure they'll appreciate your honesty.

No problems at all .

I'll explain that it is good news that the two boys were recognised but it is just a practice match.

Out of interest are you going to do the same honesty thing with Max King ?

"I've got a feeling he's about 7 months away from looking for a new career." ( what you write on the internet always comes back to haunt you)

What about the name Krakouer? For the record, they are also listed as Jewish footballers because the original Krakouer was Jewish, originally from Krakow in Poland, hence the name, who went to England, got arrested and sent as a convict to WA. True story.

A huge stretch. A Jewish pedigree is passed down through the mother not the father so unless the "got arrested and sent as a convict" is female then they are definitely not Jewish.

So you lost your card?

lets just say they can't kick you out but my observance is from a distance.

I always said that when my daughters grew up I wanted them to have boyfriends of the faith. I have been half fortunate - the oldest certainly has a boyfriend of the faith - a diehard MFC supporter but the youngest has gone against the faith by going out with a Carlton supporter.

It could be worse nutbean imagine your angst if he supported the Dons

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
