Australian Football

Agreed. It was trash-talk sensationalism at it's finest. Gossip mags had cracked gold with that one. What a way to fuck up your marriage, mateship, image, and career legacy.

I still reckon the "King" of sensationalism is Hopoate !!
I doubt anyone will ever beat that..
That event even created a new saying

Finger Licking Good.

Ok Boys,

The Warriors In The League,Or Top 4 Again.

The Demons Melbourne In AFL.14th Place Last Year But Look Out for A Great Start For 2008.

Lawn Bowls Who Knows.

[Panamark]

Lawn Bowls..

My Dad ! He's tearin it up all over Australia
State Champ in Vic..

So we are making early season predictions.

AFL, its hard to see the Cats dropping away, but
those fuckers down in Geelong have been partying away
since that day (including the players) and if I could
ever predict the dreaded "premiership hangover" it
would be with those guys.. Eagles or Cats, and
maybe Swans.... Watch out for the mighty Blues,
they could make the finals for the first time in
a long time. I think even Bomber will agree with
that one...

NRL ??? Crikey thats tough.. I didnt think Melbourne
was gonna get where they did..
Sentimentally, The Rabbits or the Eels..
I wish the Eels would fuck of Dennis Fitzgerald.
He is a pokie leecher that couldnt give a fuck about the
football...

[Dan]

And The V8's Boys?

Can't argue you with that.
He became an international superstar, even the Yanks know who he is. I remember not long after that Hoppa incident happened I was on a contiki holiday in Queensland. One night in the pub there we were watching the league and started talking to a Victorian bloke about footy, and naturally he says he's an AFL guy. I asked him if he follows league, and he's says "no". I then asked him if he knows anything at all about league, and again he says "no". I then asked him if he's even heard of Andrew Johns - the greatest player in the world - and again he says "no". So, I then asked him about John Hopoate, and he goes "Oh yeah, I know that guy" and laughs. lol

It's too early for me to make predictions in either code. In the league though, I won't be at all surprised if the Bunnies up the tempo even better this year, and the Roosters should get into the Top 8 this season. Probably be another Broncos or Bulldogs year if they get back to their game. IMO, the Eels would do so much better without Tim Smith.

In the AFL, I wouldn't have the faintest clue who'd be hot the contender, I suppose Eagles is up for that one again. I hope that Swans players enrolled themselves into 'Barry Hall HALL' in the off-season for 2008 preparation.

Lawn Bowls? Maybe Little Johnny is out there on the pitch now.

Don't follow the V8s.

Only providing you blokes got rid of that dreadful winger, or he's just so happened to dramatically improve his form. What happened to him anyway?

I saw BOMBER posting not long ago..

Spoke to Bomber not long ago and he told me he can get internet access at work (not at home though) but work has barred his access to the Army, probably because of raunchy material that is occasionally shown. Maybe I can try encourage him to make weekly trips on a Thursday / Friday to an internet cafe.

[Panamark]

Hope BOMBER finds a way ! Let him know we might be able
to hack their firewall, go out via a different port

DTM, I stopped following the V8's when Dick Johnson retired.
I did get into it in the classic years.. I still watch Bathurst but
dont really know what the fuck is going down these days
in V8 world..

[Grant]

Will do. On second thought he probably would tell us that we've "hijacked" his beloved AFL thread with the bum-sniffing/finger up the arse sport.

[Panamark]

LOL ! Yeah you are probably right about old BOMBER,

I guess Im getting older, but I can pretty much get into
all forms of football now. Having an American wife has
taught me all about Gridiron, and I enjoy watching it.
(Both at College and NFL levels).

Something I noticed between our cultures and football,
we watch intensely as our games are so fast flowing in
comparison. In the US, I noticed (due to the NFL stoppages
every other minute) there is a lot more conversing between
everyone watching during the game.. I found that odd at first,

I'm so used to watching an AFL game thats going down to
the final seconds, having a mini heart attack and threatening
serious bodily harm to any fucker that should walk within 5 feet
of the TV, or attempt to communicate with me !! LOL

I had Rugby figured out in about 2 weeks after moving
to Sydney, which is funny as my Sydney mates took
about 2 years to figure out AFL.. hehheheh... Ah well..
Tis a complex set of rules we have created...

But the one form of football that I dont go out of my way
to watch is soccer. (Unless its world cup and Australia
are involved).

0-0 Draws... How fucking exciting is that shit ????

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
