**** if that's the best they've got then that's attrocious..

I watched 10 minutes. A game with no stoppages they say? The ball was out 1/2 the time and the other 1/2 they were laying on top of each other with no one knowing where the ball was. It was like watching under 10's footy...

It was a close finish with your team winning, coming from behind, I do hope that's skewed your perception because lawn bowls even seems exciting when that happens.

Well this response is what I would typically expect from someone who knows nothing about the game and probably grew up thinking it was a sport for pansies.
 
This isn’t for this game , and I’m not sure if it’s even “mathematically possible” but how sweet would it be to knock souths out of finals in the first round

it's very possible mathematically.

After last nights game, Souths have slipped to 5th on 28 points = with the Eels (in 6th)

we are 7th on 23 (1 point ahead of the Panthers ...

so it's feesible that Souths could finish 5 or 6th and play us finishing 7th or 8th
 
Also if people in Brisbane miss seeing some pure pace from a passionate indigenous player since Roberts left, then check out Charlie Cameron run around for the lions. Absolute gun.
Better check him out soon then, before the racist Victorians boo him out of the game.

It is though. One of my mates had to do a stint in Melbourne for work. Before he left he was only into soccer, when he came back they'd converted him to an AFL acolyte. He was always telling me how bloody great AFL is, tried to get me into it by showing me some biggest bumps highlights on youtube. Fair dinks, James Maloney hits harder than those cats. It's a sport for weak southerners, kept alive because Victorians will only credit things from Victoria. ***** are as insular as an esky full of pink batts.

I played afl when I was a kid. Made the zone team in school actually. We won every game in our district and also made the semi finals of the state Cup, losing our one and only game against the eventual state Cup champions. This is when we were living in Nsw.

90% of us never played afl before, we were just tall for our age. That was our talent.

This is what makes me laugh about afl fans. It can't accept that other people don't like the sport. There's got to be something wrong with the person, it couldn't possibly be the sport. I mean, sure, Australia is the only country that plays it but that's just because the world doesn't know what it's missing.

***** are insular as an esky of full pink batts.... Seriously have a listen to yourselves. Alot of people don't like afl. Me personally, I think it looks like under 6s footy. Everyone chasing the ball, falling on top of it when it pops up. They get rewarded when they miss, they get rewarded for a task that is expected in most sports (catching the ball), they claim to be some sort of athletic specimens (rexonas greatest athlete and boxing charity event tells me they are not at all, it takes more than running long distances to make you the best athlete in the world). That's what's shit about the sport.
Are you saying the entire world is insular? It's only Australia that is outgoing towards sports? Have a listen to what you just said and tell me again who the insular one is. Fair dinkum.... Also, that example lol... I've had mates that weren't into soccer, lived in England, turned into tragic, same with one mate who went to USA with gridiron. Then I've got keen nrl fans who come from Victoria but have lived up here or nsw for years. What's your point? Does that make those sports amazing? NO. It's called tribalism, it's a sense of belonging, its community. Ffs the arrogance of afl people is insane, they honestly believe its the rest of the world missing out on this amazing sport.

We are all missing out due to our insular thinking! Haha seriously..

Isn't @abashii on your side here?

I've been dreaming about that possibility for the last few weeks.
 
Anytime we get given Ben Cummins or Ashley Klein as referees, we get a refereeing performance like we did on Friday. They are 2 of the most anti bronco referees in the NRL hands down.

Reason I am bringing this up is because have any of you noticed how we barely get Gerard Sutton refereeing us anymore ever since some peanut carried on about how much we win under him and the media jumped all over it?

Social media runs the game, don’t let anything make you think otherwise. The NRL needs a compete overhaul
 
mna Souths are starting to break to pieces....Burgess and Burns hurt again, Reynolds on one leg.....this game is TOTALLY winnable right here.....man things are slowly looking up for us.....obviously the judiciary results will be important....but lets see...

Also, anyone see Forans game....look we can do a lot worse if the Dogs are prepared to move his contract on.....for the right price he'd be a canny old hand to help guide this forward pack around the field...
