Ethan your various posts suggest that you a disturbed person. This is clear to discerning readers such as myself.

However that aside, you must also be a surreptitious hater of the weagles. I say surreptitious because I presume capital punishment could be enacted for one who supports a team from the evil East.

Given that times are changing, do you think the moment will everarise ( in our lifetimes) when you can safely emerge from the closet.

Back in 2005 I went to a mates house to watch the Grand Final. I took a Sydney Swans flag to show support for the East, as you could imagine, everyone else went for the Eagles. The only time anyone spoke to me was when one person asked if I was "Some kinda poofta?" 

I left shortly after the game finished, and decided to sticky tape the flag to the back of my pushbike. The ride home was only about 2km's. In that time I had a bottle thrown at my back from a passing motorist, a car stop next to me and the driver and passenger get out and try to steal my bike and a car chase me for about 1km. 

Although this was 11 years ago, times don't change so fast over here, so to answer your question bitters, never.

These holding the ball decisions against the tiges are ridiculous 

The Deledio one was correct - fair tackle, pinned his arms and he dropped the ball, which is incorrect disposal.  The Menadue decision was a little harsh though.

Hands down Richmond. Apart from just having a general dislike for them, I can't stand the way they celebrate whenever they have a win. When they beat Brisbane last round you would have thought it was the GF.

Haha! Sucked in, Richmond. They're starting to punch on a bit from frustration. Great stuff

Ebert is bloody annoying. If Dusty wasn't in my SC team I'd love to see him belt him.

Not that I condone violence...just against Ebert.

Wingard and Hartlett are the guys that I hate.

Just started watching Q4

What awful jumpers those  Tiger ones - ever worse than Hawks last week

 

The deliberate OOB needs revamping - that Tiger had absolutely no chance of keeping it in  Absurd  

 

Bruce continues to orgasm whenever he mentions the word Rance.  Is there anything there?

Richmonds talls arent even vfl standard.

Remember a few months ago when we keen to spend big bucks on A grade Hartlett? Fark me. 

Average of 18 touches this year. Goes missing when it counts. Big reason why port are soft when it matters

dodged a bullet

Surely some day someone will wake up and grab Dustin Martin's outstretched arm and dislocate his shoulder.

Rance spoils footy. 

Cometti : You can't teach that can you? Got his fist exactly to where the ball is.

 

What part of that can't be taught?

The part about having a fist. Either you've got one or you don't.

Can't wait, it's not as if no one is aware that he is going to do it.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
