Stickers Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 school night and all so i just went to the first half of tonight's AFL opener, took out an AFL membership this year and thought i'd give it a dry run on a nice night out. i should have stuck around, epic draw in the end but with no emotional connection to either side I think i just wanted to hang out at the mcg for a bit and at least be part of the season opener. am going properly to see demons v bulldogs with the bulldog side of the fam on saturday for reals though, footy's back, go dees. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Micky Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Great stuff Stickers, the Blue baggers had that game - they'll learn. That long bomb into the forward line cost 'em dearly in the last minute or so of the game. My kids have got AFL memberships and they love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Pretty disappointed with Brisbane's start to the season, but it's only one game. I feel like Melbourne will probably win tomorrow night but hopefully we put up a much better effort. In the meantime I'm looking forward to watching tonight's game and as much as I hate Collingwood I do like watching them so I'll watch that on delay after golf Saturday. It's been good to see fast ball movement and more open games across the last year or two, that overly defensive chip the ball around and congest everything style was garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Micky Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I agree OVB. I'm a Cats supporter - and even though we lowered our colors against Collingwood the other night, it was a great game to watch. Free flowing and attacking footy - gotta love that. I think the good sides don't panic about slow starts to the season - they build, I'd be hoping that's what's happening with Brisbane and the Cats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years living in Adelaide, I started following the Crows & in earlier times they had their triumphs, but I it is going to take a long time to join the top 5 or so. I don't particularly care about any other side, but I hate the other SA team with a passion (sorry Pale Man) These days I am happy to brew, enjoy life by the seaside & generally get on with other things in life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw that too. Unsure if that caused it all or was caused by a surge or whatever else. At least there weren't any fires on the ground this time 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Micky Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) At least the Brissie (QLD) crowd behaved 'em selves when the lights went out - not like their Southern cousins in Victoria out at Waverly Park years ago.

Are you saying Malter is a potty mouth? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
