The AFL Discussion Thread

[sptrawler]

I've been to every Sydney vs Geelong game in Geelong over the last few years, won't be able to attend Saturday night. Can't remember the crowd at Skilled ever booing Goodes down there so it will be interesting to see the reaction. Make no mistake though if Goodes or any Sydney player receives a free that isn't obvious to bias eyes then the crowd will boo. A bit annoying though that the game is going to be mostly about Goodes when it should be about the legend of our club playing is 200th... Selwood.

Is it true Selwood is representing Australia in the diving team?

I can't make it either, but I'd love to be there just to get a boo in !!

I could dress up like Little Bo Peep and hope to cop a mouthful of racist twaffle from Adam

My only real hope is that Aker and Eddie are commentating the match........

Memo to the Skilled Stadium crowd on Saturday. Be sure to clap obediently at the right moments. Otherwise..you remember what happened to the 13 year old girl right..

And they say North Korea is a police state. Too many rent-seekers in our game.

...There will be cameras on the crowd on Saturday night, just looking out for stupid individuals who boo or put their thumbs down when Goodes gets the ball. Ask yourself if you want to be embarrassed across the country for that sort of idiotic behaviour...

Well said, Logique.

If the AFL start destroying our game with this PC rubbish, I will be very disappointed.
The crowds will definitely dwindle if people are not allowed to boo/cheer/yell, and express their thoughts on what is happening on the field.

I am glad to see that Goodes is coming back, and like others have said, just play the game.
We go to the football to see our team win, and on that field they are all footballers, nothing else.

If he wants to do the war dance, good for him, from what I remember, Aker used to do handstands and all sorts on the field.

I am glad to see the footballers come forward and give their opinions.

Nice to see you footy lovers saddling up again. Can anyone deny the WA stranglehold this year!

Get your tips in folks, first final is tonight.

Priddis out for the WCE tough to win without him :-(

A good team closes ranks when that happens.
A great team steps up and beats the odds even more convincingly.
Beating the reigning Premiers 96 : 64 suggests the latter.

 

[Tink]

Agree, Logique, about WA stranglehold this year.
My prediction was one of them would win this year, we will see.

It was a close game last night, Bulldogs v Adelaide, with Adelaide sneaking through.
