    Unusual but true KITP, pretty sure they wore Ankle high boots in Rugby also. Without World Football innovation AFL Football would be years behind. That was my point KITP. 👉 Certain parts of society just can't handle the connotations of the World game. Don't get it twisted though I love both AFL Football and World Football. I understand people don't like it for whatever reason but tend to voice it with the usual [censored] every 4 years around the same time a certain tournament is being played. Those idiots that ran on the field and caused harm to others Saturday night deserve what they get, lets get that straight. Don't understand the bigotry toward the game to be honest, alot of training, tactical and innovational practices are highly sought after. AFL Coaches, Fitness Guru's, Management increase their learnings to emulate their overseas counterparts. Just go and ask our Premiership Fitness Guru Darren Burgess the amount he has learnt from the World Game.

    I wonder what boots all the AFL players wear theses days? I wonder which country and continent the Adidas and Puma factories hail from? Is it still ankle boot lace ups? or perhaps the AFL Puma boot that Jason Dunstall use to promote and never wore and for good reason. AFL, amateur and grassroots players nationwide seem to like the look and feel of the "soccer" designed boots theses days or for the past 40 years. Puma King Adidas Copa Mundials Nike Tiempo Adidas Predator Asics Gel I could go on........ I think the AFL has alot to thank soccer for, because if it wasnt for soccer designed technology, your favourite Demons Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca, Bayley Fritsch etc. wouldn't be running around in the latest Nike Tiempo's designed and worn by some of the "Enemies" greatest players. AFL takes alot of ideas from the NFL "Yanks" but the players seem to prefer the "Enemies" designed equipment. Im sure those shoulder pads and helmets would come in handy with AFL club logos on them.......
  3. Mine turned up last Tuesday in Radelaide.
  4. Friggen love chocco.🥰 Brings in Kozzie's best mate, stroke of Genius.
  5. Best of luck to both lads.
  6. Collingwood's Doctor would have been in all sorts then, they had injuries in the 3 qtr in most games they played in this season.
  7. This is not right.
  8. Congratulations Dees Premiers 2022, well done to Mick and his crew. Over to you Men be the first club to hold both the Womens and Mens comps. I hope the respective governments are watching this and give us the necessary funding to build a complex in our heartland all interstate and Melbourne members can enjoy. Our great club deserves this. Eliza West BOG.
  9. The Ground itself is still in use by the Crows AFL and AFLW teams, but the stadium has been torn down for a few years now.
  10. Surely we are one of the best 12 teams in the comp?
  11. They won't waste a showdown for Magic round. 6 of those games are slated for Adelaide Oval. The other 3 game will involve GWS, GC, Norf, etc, 1 will be at Norwood Oval, 1 in the Barossa Valley and the other is still not known, maybe south of the city Noarlunga Oval or regional SA (Riverland, McClaren Vale etc.
  12. Rick Lever was hobbling around in the Brisbane Semi, he wasn't right to play after his calf injury.
  13. Surely Staf isn't rolling around as Forward's coach in 2023?
  14. Those Powa figures are largely inflated/skewed due to the fact they played a home game against the Crows at Adelaide Oval on a Friday Night. That crowd was 20k, if you take that game and play it at Alberton Oval their home ground they would be lucky to get 5k.
  15. Didn't even read it to know this is the biggest load of [censored] I've ever seen.
  16. Apologies they did win one in 2018.
  17. He was a miserable [censored] that night Billy, was in the vicinity of a fellow Demon asking him what the score was and who won on the night. 😂 Did not like it one bit had his goons shew him away. Absolute sook.
  18. The failure of straight sets will drive this group and coaching staff to never experience that feeling again.
  19. Do the club have the 1989 Fosters World Cup on display?
  20. Safe to say that the World Cup after party would have got real messy.
  21. I reckon they are going to try Shaq down back, with Turner and Tommo providing adequate back line coverage, especially with either Gawn or Grundy playing a kick behind play surering up our defence. This could be the key to releasing Petty Forward.
  22. I reckon this might be what the long silenced delay has been all along SWYL. If this is the grand plan this would be magnificent. A Women's flag wouldn't hurt either to help aid our cause to go along with our AFL Premiership in 2021, would be the first club in Victoria to win both. Nice little kicker and talking point to lather up those pollies.
  23. It's worth a crack, I'd back in our footy department but judging by his tiktok account i reckon he wouldn't mind flying under the radar in Qld or NSW.
