Western Bulldogs' club antics in Hong Kong [Video]

Thanks BigAl. :D Thanks RedB. :D Titus, regarding NSW/QLD, I do feel the same way about NSW, especially since I wish that the 18th team would be in Tasmania instead. I'm not fully convinced that a GWS team could work in the long term, and I think that Tasmanians are owed a team of their own. As for QLD, I don't have as much of a problem with it.

Titus I repeat, the code of Australian Football has long been established in NSW and Qld. Those urban demographics of Melbourne and Sydney continue to display traditional demarcation lines of code allegiance, Sydney supporting League and Melbourne Australian Football. Having said that Aust Football has been far more successful in establishing itself in Sydney than League has in Melbourne and this has alot to do with the support that already existed for the Indigenous code throughout respective states in my opinion. Conversely, Leagues lack of presence in the state of Vic sees the Storm continuing to rely on expat kiwis and PI's for patronage while its grassroots have remained inconsequential after more than a decade of elite presence in that city. I maintain that this will be a similar story for the code of Union, which already struggles domestically in this country as is. The advantage Union may have over League is the international flavour of the Super 15, initially anyway and of course that ubiquitous Kiwi population and it's proximity to NZ. Having said that, Union is hardly worthy of analogy in this respect and any reference to it's Melbourne status historically speaking is nothing but hyperbole, despite it having a presence in that city, but then so to did La X. Union is a code that just survives on the cultural sporting fringes in this country, continuing to rely on the private school and more privileged enclaves of Sydney and Brisbane for support in the main. This is why the Rebels have had to build a team made up of players not only from the usual suspects in the two major Union nurseries i.e. Brissy and Nth Sydney, but from international Union playing countries as well which is unprecedented in the history of the Super comp I believe. They will also have to share their meagre membership with the Storms ex pat devotees that has hardly grown in over a decade. That the code of Union is represented as broadly as it is throughout this country at the Super elite tier, is purely an illusion created by the commercial tele driven machine that is sports - tainment today. This hardly reflects the true status of that particular code across this country let alone any historical pedigree. Cheers

You watch to much tele !, although a kung fu move from Jackie Chan would have made the clip that i saw better.'like running up the side of the taxe, and then doing a backflip, perhaps doing a better worm down the cabs roof. BTW ...... interesting fact, ......... Jackie Chans parents lived in Canberra for many years, may still live there if they are still alive, Jackie himself lived there in 1976, where he attended Dickson College and worked as a construction worker. A fellow builder named Jack took Chan under his wing, earning Chan the nickname of "Little Jack" which was later shortened to "Jackie" and the name Jackie Chan stuck with him ever since.

Well they would have deserved it and they might have learned their lesson. Not calling for blood, just a simple kungfu move to put them down, and the words "get off my car you tool"

So you have gone from expressing outrage and making Moses like moral judgements, to now calling for blood. Good to see you being honest though.

I probably would have seen the funny side of it if the cab driver had got out and put one of them on their backside.

Lighten up a bit mate, BTW if you saw my car you wouldn't bother jumping on it, ....... the last bloke to break into it, cleaned it up and left me $10 !!. boom boom. Seriously though, I would suggest it's you who does not live in the real world, you are all over these nothing incidents like a fly on sh-t.

Of course it has Republican, just as Rugby has always been present in Melbourne. A quick look at Sydney AFL on Wikipedia says it started in 1903 with 11 teams and then nothing until 1999. Where did that history go? I would love to see player registration numbers over 100 years, and see the spike, over the last 20 years as AFL takes its natural place among the Sydney sporting scene.

Amazonfan My sentiments exactly. I have been pontificating about the merits of our great culltural institution i.e, Australian Football, remaining thus. Thank you for your solidarity in this respect. Titus. The code has long been established in NSW and Qld as I am sure you are well aware, albeit not as potently as Vic, SA WA, Tassie, NT, the ACT and Southern NSW regions i.e. the Riverina. Your type simply have to be kept honest in respect, of the national codes presence historically in Southern Qld and NSW.

No, not by morons, by normal people who are having a good night out, and getting a bit carried away. If you have never been one of those people, who have had a big night out and do something a bit stupid, then i feel sorry for you, because it's just a normal part of life and growing up.

IMO you comment because you don't like Australian football, it's obvious from your other comments, perhaps because John Longmire said something about NSW dads not being as good as southern dads at kicking got you fired up, and when it was proven to you that Australian football and it's kicking is used all over the world to teach both rugby's and the NFL to kick you got even madder. For what it's worth, MO is the boys were a little crazy and hyped up , but no-one got hurt, and no-one was trying to punch anyone out, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. If it had been my son, i would have said, just be a bit smart, don't get to carried away, know where to draw the line, but enjoy yourself, i dont expect you to be playing chess at the library. Boys will be boys, and girls will be girls, there is far more important issues.

Really? please show examples of this?

reply to titus^ most AFL fans do. And those that don't why would you care anyway?

Brad Johnson has joined Fox Sports.

The reality is that if you're with a group of people from the Western Bulldogs, you will be thought of as representing them. The other reality is that everything you do has the potential to be recorded, so you have to make the choice whether to be a respected football player or play up with your mates and muck around - it is increasingly obvious that you can't do both.

So PM me your address & leave your car out the front & i will come over & jump all over it..I expect you will not see the funny side of it,Or wish you were jumping on it with me. Try living in the real world. The taxi driver was probably terrified,& worried about his personal property.

Well said Amazonfan, if only the AFL and it's fans felt the same way about expanding into NSW?QLD.

King G Is this your way of remaining in denial of what is a systemic cultural problem rather than it being endemic to the AFL, as you would prefer perhaps? Given your 'Anglo Celtic' sporting persuasions it seem you may be attempting to shirk any responsibility with this cryptic quip, in scapegoating the Australian codes elite league.

An end of year trip for the Bulldogs. There is a difference between being drunk and acting silly and becoming a drunken mob that has taken over the streets.

Well I'm just commenting because I'm sick of groups of drunken Aussie blokes thinking it's Ok to intimidate people and to disrespect them and their cultures. I don't think it has anything to do with them being AFL players although their clubs certainly need to sort it out, and I don't think it's a hanging offence, but I certainly don't think we should be passing it off as acceptable behaviour.
