Forget everywhere else, AFL's problem is in Brisbane

Spikhaza, well written and well research article mate, you have done a great job getting to the facts. You have copped some flack from the brainwashed however you have stuck to your guns. Keep to the facts and the brainwashed will get frustrated even moreso. Keep up the good work!!!!

Forget everywhere else, AFL's problem is in Brisbane

If the reds success has had a negative inpact on the Lions, wait till the GWS AFL team starts playing, Swans will be in dire straits!!! Lean times ahead for the AFL in the northern states.

Forget everywhere else, AFL's problem is in Brisbane

Essendon on kamikaze run in PR battle with NRL

His ego will be kept in check as nobody will recognise him in Sydney

GWS to sign Chad Cornes?

Well written Art Sapphire. there is more to this than meets the eye. Eddie is afraid because he sees his Victorian game going backwards at faster rate than we all expected. The brain washing of free thinkers in other states has failed while the games that he (and the AFL) world ie Victoria look on as their enemies are thriving. Its all downhill from here

Eddie's soccer rant in bid to suppress AFL bid

Of course I want the right decision. I have no idea why the decision was over-ruled, or if it was or wasn’t a try. I was standing about 20 metres away towards the halfway so I was on the wrong side of the pack, however the ref was standing in the ingoal area so should of had a great view. In fact the ref from the srcum awarded a penalty to Eastwood for Souths back chat. They were pissed at the reversal. Anyhoo, Eastwood were the best team on the day and deserved their win

Will refs muck up the Rugby World Cup?

gees Redb, what a surprise, you still spending all your spare time on here!!! I think red and I will both agree that South Australia is calling out for a contact sport to call its home in Adelaide

South Australia needed in expansion, Gallop says

speaking of game wrecking refs, on Saturday I was at Foreshaw rugby Park watching Southern Districts play Eastwood. With 5 minutes to full time, one of the souths pigs barged over Eastwoods line off a rolling maul and the ref put his arm in the air and blew a try. Well the Eastwood players blew up at the ref telling him to look at the touchie. Well the ref did that and then cancelled the try awarding a scrum instead to souths. Question, can a ref cancel an awarded try. I have never seen or heard of that as both a player and spectator. Once the try is awarded, shouldn’t the touchie keep his mouth shut and support the ref??? The only reverse decision I am aware of that a ref can make is a penalty…. comments please

Will refs muck up the Rugby World Cup?

by defn “verb (used with object)
1. to propel or cast in any way, especially to project or propel from the hand by a sudden forward motion or straightening of the arm and wrist: to throw a ball. ”

Andrew Johns had to pass the ball backwards!! 🙂

Since when did throwing in AFL become legal?

Ney for golden point. The season is a test of endurance, if its square at 80 minutes, you share the chocolates!!! Golden point should be saved for elimination games only.

Memo to the NRL: A draw is a proper result

well written article aubreyhamlett , don’t listen to the brainwashed, you have at least a free mind.

Rebels can do what the AFL can't - unite Victoria

Ok Redb, you win. I’ll make sure I do my research next time.

ANZAC Day belongs to Pies and Bombers

Woodsman, how do I have a complete lack of Respect for ANZAC day because I differ in my opinion to you. As an returned serviceman, I am entitled to my opinion like anyone else, and I standby what I have said. Being a member of a Sub-Branch we raise money for the ANZAC House benevolent society, but hang on, I haven’t stood in silence with 90, 000 people so somehow I lack respect!!!

ANZAC Day belongs to Pies and Bombers

you live in fantasy land Redb, seriously mate, do you believe that a game of football in your words
” these games introduce new generations to the sacrifices Australian soliders have made” would achieve that. Seriously mate, I am lost for words if you believe that!!!!!
You said “Unless you have stood in silence with 90,000 others you will never understand. It is quite seriously your loss” Are you fair dinkum Redb??? A dawn service takes me back to my helo ride up the Bagdad highway mate, yet I am missing out by not being at the MCG???? So your telling a bloke from the 1st gulf war that I am missing out on something???Like I said before, have you ever don the uniform and been in combat?? I think you haven’t yet I am missing out by not being at the MCG on ANZAC day??? I have stood at Millenium stadium when the Wallabies played the Welsh and the stadium sang the Welsh national athem and it sent a shiver down my spine, but so what. Its just a game!!! Its not war!!! You are preaching to the wrong person Redb.
Also mate, regarding your quote “anti AFL troll ” I get on here about once a month and see the daily spin you have unleished over the previous 4 weeks or so. Mate, you live on here, almost like a full time job!! I spend very little time trolling my friend!!!

ANZAC Day belongs to Pies and Bombers

UD Almeria, no mate, never noticed it. What I did notice was that the RAN placed alot of sporting effort into golf and Rugby and to a lesser extent cricket.

ANZAC Day belongs to Pies and Bombers

Have you don the uniform Redb??? I only did 8 years fulltime between 86 and 93 (plus 6 in reserves)in the RAN mate, but I bet its 8 years more than you. I’ll wear my AASM (Kuwait) ASM (Bouganville) ADM and KLM with pride mate. I don’t need to go the MCG mate to show my respect. I’ll march down down George Street with afew old mates. Don’t you dare say I haven’t got respect for fallen diggers. You getting up for the dawn service RedB or are you going to be tucked up in bed. ANZAC day to me is more than someone playing the last post before two local teams under the banner of ANZAC day. Like I said, the lack of Kiwi represntation in my opinion makes it not symbolic of the ANZAC tradition.

ANZAC Day belongs to Pies and Bombers

This game is a farce!! It is not an ANZAC game without a Kiwi presence, ideally a Kiwi team. NZ is only 3 hours away and the AFL ignores NZ in ANZAC!!!! Disgraceful!!! I think a hybrid game like international rules where say an AFL team played an All Black side of hybrid rugby/AFL. What a sight 😉 St george Vs Roosters has a few few Kiwi test players in their sides.

Let’s not go here, nemo. Roar Mods.

How low will Suns' crowds go after more thrashings?

Thankyou for a perspective from the coal face. Nice to read an article without spin

League's country base needs help from ARL

I watch state of Origin live in Hong Kong when I am there, I have watched it in Cardiff and in San Fransisco, In honky it never gets the attention of Bledisloe but it is healthy enough, the time I watched it was a few years back, a few local rugger buggers were watching it for the big hits. Still off the radar internationally but it is there

AFL's TV deal choking NRL, Socceroos

Dave, I am based in Hong Kong and follow rugby (particularly the tahs) and the Dragons, this is not an Australian only issue mate! when the NRL are putting together their brief, they have to take into account New Zealand. But then I am probably losing you here, as I am talking about foreign nations out of control of vlad and the VIC government. You just keep polarising your views mate!!!

AFL's TV deal choking NRL, Socceroos

Dave states “How many supporters go to rugby matches across Australia during the season? How many people outside of NSW and QLD even know what rugby is and if they do – do they even care?”
when you say rugby my untravelled friend I am assuming you are talking about rugby union, simple answer mate, outside of NSW and QLD a fair size of the planet. You are showing your Vic mentality here of a guy who has probably only been to the gold coast and Bali with his Vic buddies in a polarised group. Rugby is played and followed around the world Dave!!!!!
