Have Brisbane Roar played themselves into championship form?

Brisbane are the most successful team at Hindmarsh stadium this year. I think the reds will be very nervous about this fixture.

WSW?

I think there should have been a ;) at the end of this - "1988 Power’s Bitter Brisbane World Expo 88′ together we’ll show the World, Broncos." ;) I think the Wanderers are an even better example to build off.

Just joking around and it get's a laugh, no actual obsessions with the 1988 Power's Bitter Brisbane World Expo 88' together we'll show the World, Broncos. But also they are good example to use when looking when new franchises come in and compare the differences and similarities.

Wanderers may be the new Broncos and West coast eagles? I have to ask why your obsession with the 1988 Broncos though? Did you support a certain team and Brisbane took that player or coach? Play too many Sunday games? Beat Manly on their debut? They can't be that bad, can they?

Kellett_1992 you the man. Look forwad to a lot of fun to be shared with you and other roarers lol, and go the Broncos of 1988 he he lol. I just love talking about the Brisbane Broncos of 1988 I need help lol. But in all seriousness they, along with the west coast eagle,s were 2 of the best sports franchises ever created, that changed the whole sporting landscape in Australia, in there respective sports.

I don't believe I ripped in. I don't recall the first time commenting on it. But the second time I did not rip in. I know because it was on my own article and you said you agreed with a lot of what I said. I don't believe I've ever disagreed with on field success. I said until they win something. 25 years have also passed and so have the times so off field stories are different. Happy Easter to you too Johnno. I too look forward to good chats and I also extend an olive branch. I just did not take too kindly to the 20 demo reference. I'm very happy to continue learning as well.

kellet_1992, you ripped into my opinions about the Brisbane Broncos 1988 team vs the West Sydney wanderers 2013 comparison, and my support for the wanderers over the 1988 Brisbane Bronocs. I don't think my attack has ever been personal on you kellett_1992. You notice I said back to sport. Like everyone on the roar kellett_1992, we have wished your family all the best during this difficult time. You even thanked me above in the comments above, about my words of support. And i am basing it on my own life experiences, with 20's demographic , how else can one form there opinions. Hence we live in a world of different opinions, all based on individuals life experiences, but some people won't be as tarnished by the 20's demographic , of course I know that. But i am basing it on my experiences, and what some sections of the media have been reporting on lately, and very accuraltey mind you regarding the Josh Dugan situation. Your beloved Brisbane Broncos today issued a statement, saying they will in light of recent events will not be signing Josh Dugan, says it all really. Now Josh Dugan is a perfect example of the 20's demographic style that I don't like. And with regards to your personal life and community life, you should be applauded , well done young man. You are doing well, and not all people in the 20's demographic , are not doing well as i said ,. Your time with your fiancee putting her first, and being a father, is exactly the type of things I like. Well done and good luck to you, and i look forwad to further chats with you, and fussball, and i have enjoyed our debates on many things kellet_1992, format he broncos to rugby union to rugby league , and soccer, and cricket, and basketball and sports expansion, and i look forwad to further debate with you, and i could learn some things of kellett_1992, and you could learn some things of Johnno lol . Happy days and your fiancee should be proud of you kellett_1992. Happy easter kellet_1992, and may the good chats on here keep coming. But please continue to disagree with me at times, and fuss, and any other person, otherwise it will be boring, now that we are all friends again. An olive branch has been extended by johnno to you kellet_1992. Heck I could throw some white doves off the balcony as a sign of peace lol, if you like.

Johnno, Seven times I counted the use of my name. You could not have emphasised the point any more than what you did. You now go on about your experiences but pigeonhole me into this category. I shouldn't have to explain myself to you and just because you choose to base your opinions on your experiences in life and associate them with your experiences on this website does not necessarily make it right. You're entitled to your opinion but we should all be careful how we choose to come across. Not for my emotional sense but for arguments sake that becomes personal. I don't recall ever attacking you like that through this website and nor will I ever attempt to. Of course, label me with characteristics such arrogant, ignorant, or just plain ill informed but leave your opinions on demographics out of this. You're wrong! You've never met me and ultimately you've made a mistake. I'm in that 20 year old demographic, I am a fiancée soon to be husband, I have a child, work full time, currently studying to further myself for my family. I have never been clubbing, instead I leave that time to sporting events. I've been with my fiancée for now 4 years so since I was 17. I don't pretend to be something else. I have on numerous occasions participated in community service work for the simple betterment of a community. I was 19 when I participated in the leukaemia foundation and raised $1500 on my own. I am not your typical 20 year old demo! If you've ever disagreed with me or continue to disagree, don't hesitate in replying! I will ensure that 99.99% of the time that I reply. Perhaps not only can I learn something but so can you too. Have some hope about some of us and learn some humility and compassion that doesn't then turn into a tirade of lecturing or provocative assumptions.

I have the balls to reply Ian, and no I wasn't drunk, i am a light drinker i hardly ever drink. We are in the same age demographic Ian. But yes I was giving some demographic opinions. And Kellet_1992 I do have the balls to reply, here I am young man. My point is a lot of people in there 20's act like they know everything in my experiences, they also have an us vs them attitude to society. And begin called sir or mam, is out of respect, clearly the younger generation differences showing, my generation were taught to call elders sir or mamma. Not the new i think i'm so hip, modern, cool, and savvy generation thinks. Not all but many in my experiences. They show respect to there elder parents and grand parents. But they often show a lack of respect to people 1 generation ahead, people int here 30's and early 40's, and baby boomers who are not there parents. I see it all the time, . And often the lack of conversation levels annoy me. I don't see enough people in there 20's talking about serious issues, Solving economic issues, political problems etc. They would rather talk about what clothes they are gonna wear on saturday night, a lot in my experiences, and they always give this energy that there more modern and up to date with the latest trends than we in our 30's. And are often very ignorant, and get annoyed when they are told off, and they half the time don't even realise they should be told off it and it was valid. Kellet_1992 just look at Josh Dugan, one of yours, he is in his 20's you really think he is the right sort of dude people in there 30's should admire,.

There is a lot that goes unnoticed, could be accidental? What do you do? Its fine. Would be nice if he could reply though. He's got the balls to say that but not to reply? Hmm. And thank you very much Bondy. Things don't look good but its, unfortunately a part of life I must come to terms with.

i'm surprised the mods let Johnno's comment through. I think that was quite over the top towards Kellett. Seeing the time it was posted I assume someone was drunk. Picking up women? call me sir?....what's that got to do with football? sounds like you've had something against kellett for a whle and you've let it all out. I'll admit I have seen plenty of people in that demographic with those traits, I imagine Baby Boomers thought I or people like me, Gen X, were like that too. i'm the same demographic as 'johnno' it appears. i also know a lot about the broncos and he generally has a few facts wrong about them. People who demand respect are usually the last to get it. Sometimes its better for everyone to accept other's opinions in good grace. i hope this site remains on a level above others in terms of quality of football articles provided and comments made about football and on other readers of the site.

Kellet, Good luck with your grandfather ..

Goog crowd indead, however this fact tells us clearly that fans are out there. Club management do not have the strategy in place to warranty them coming back.

Thank you QsAF. I greatly appreciate your kindness and sincerity. I hope you're having a wonderful Easter. I know I have a lot to learn but being spoken to like that just makes me wonder how I will continue to learn when people like this speak with such negativity. I'm not the only 20 something year old on here either and if every other 20 year old were to stumble across this then I wonder what they would think? @Johnno, I actually never thought we has such bad discussions. You've even commented on my articles before unless someone else goes by that name. But some of those discussions were quite good. Well at least that is what I thought.

Johnno...timely that Jesus washed his disciples feet this weekend many moons ago. Perhaps that should help a good dose of humility. I am one 30+ who doesn't share your view on these matters.

Kellet----I enjoy your comments, you are years ahead of your age---I like what I read from you even tho we do not agree on all points of view at times. Fuss is a football zealot and so am I---that's our problem. We have endured decades of other code's supporters ridiculing us with phrased like "Sheilas, Wogs and Poofters", which has harden our exterior and perspective with those contributors who support more than one football code here (probably foolish), but I understand where he is coming from being a decade older than him perhaps. However, like I have said, I am very impressed with the quality of your work and your research on subject matter, before you post.. I think Fuss can act like an ol' fossil sometime like me, stubborn and rude, who have lost all patience with cross-coders, football illiterates, and anti-football contributors alike, who contribute here, which you are not.. Take a deep breath and bend with the wind and let it go over your head. We all have an opinion right or wrong, and non of us like to be spoken down to irrespective of age. No one needs to call anyone Sir, Mr, other than their blog name... With that little rant, I hope your grandfather recovers to enjoy more good years ahead with you and your first born.. At my age I know how painful losing a family member can be.. keep the faith..

Johnno, I am gobsmacked! I do not know how to reply to that. Cause no matter what I say I may show tendencies of a 20 something year old when unfortunately I'm in my 20's. You're probably right, or it may be the opinion of those over 30. I have not a clue and I don't think anything is going to change and you know it. Times have changed but if you think everything you just said is not signs of an over 30's person portraying tendencies of a 20 something year old then you could still learn something in life. I actually found that highly inappropriate and it wasn't required. You do not need to lecture me on people over 30 being more educated than me. But just because people can have a more expanded knowledge does not mean they are intelligent. You could say what you said is intelligent but ultimately that intelligence will just justify to 20 something year olds why they should act that way. Because people like you feel that way. Now I'm not in emotional distress because I find your comment to, be inappropriate and although I thank you for your condolences you kind of ruined that. You could have just left it there. Last thing,i need is a lecturing especially during this time. I have stated before I don't mind an argument but perhaps you could have thought about that instead of writing what you thought to be a very intelligent comment that is or could be deemed provocative. If this is how you feel and others wish to continue their displeasure with me then perhaps intelligence can prevail and maybe it could be left for another time. Just a quick question but how would you like it if I jumped on here and did what you just did but four those over 40? Not 30. The uproar! So my point is you may be more educated and knowledgeable but you might notbe more intelligent. I will argue till black and blue. I care not for the opinion of most 30 year olds because they've developed the same thought process as you. But you don't know me. And just remember when you're in your old age, people like me will answer your call or serve you and yet your opinion shall stand. Or is it not everyone? Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

kellet_1992 For a start, regarding your grandfather's health, that I am sorry about. And my condolences to you and your family. But now back to sport. Kellett_1992,, You have to give as good as you take young one. Many people in there 20's love dishing it out to all demographic's over 30. They act as if there the only adult's age group out there. They think everyone takes them seriously. And they moan at the disrespect people in there 30's one generation ahead of them show them, when they dish out too. Kellet_1992, I personally don't like many people in the 20's demographic, the overrated attitude they show, they think there so tech savvy, cool and in the loop. We in our 30's love at the over confident behaviour of the 20's demographic , and look down upon them mostly as try hards, with an eager and enthusiasm to get into life, but it's funny what they get into, so immature we in our 30's laugh at people, and look down to people in there 20's often. They are very annoying , people in there 20's often don't realise how annoying they can be. Often when you talk to a beautiful women, you will see some young man in his 20's try and impress her with his young enthusiasm, and all these big dreams rubbish they have, i see it time and time agin in my working life the annoying enthusiasm of men in there 20's town it down would be better, and shove off , so annoying to be honest, and let the people in there 30's give them a chance in the conversation, were not interested in your inexperienced opinions having had less life experience. And you Kellet_1992, are showing some tendencies of people in there 20's that are annoying. Think your happening , and into life and blah blah blah. Fuss is older and knows more than you Kellett_1992 Fuss knows a lot about soccer, what can anyone over 30 learn from anyone under 30, basically people in there 20's. In the old days at soccer clubs in england it was the lads in there 20's that would shien the shoes, do the apprenticeship, clean the sheds., refer to anyoneover 30 as sir, and i wouldn't mind if it still was that, people in there 20's calling me sire, and woman mam. So kellett_1992 your very welcome to call me sir as I am older than you, you can clean the boots of the team, and clena the dressing you young lad in the 20's demographics, fuss doesn't have to put up with your nonsense , he has a lot of knowledge. And the Broncos of 1988, you questioned me on that, well Kellet_1992, i think you can now surrender that opinion to me Johnno in his 30's older than you , from 1 generation ahead of you, and say something like "sir you are right the Wanderers are doing better than the Broncos", game set and match to the 30's demographics.

Fuss, I can't tell if there was a pun in that apology, so I won't bother reading to much into it. You've caused me no emotional distress. What has certainly been caused is frustration. My current emotional distress resides with my grandfather in hospital on his death bed. Maybe I'm coming across a tad emotional in a sense, but with you, no. I get annoyed for sure but not emotionally distressed. I like arguing but when we're being contacted... That's a different story. I take that a little more seriously. So I'm not a 20 something year old needy male. Just a father about to experience his first ever loss. Its pretty tough. So maybe I came off emotionally distressed but never have I experienced that on this site before. Regards Cameron. Hope everyones Easter is good tomorrow. And happy Easter to our children and grown up children.
