Feck!
Jaysus.
I think the Irish are going through a major image change.
Give us a rundown of the teams so we can all pick a favourite to follow.
Are there any black players?
Scum.Quote:

The how many Irish counties sorry?
I used to work with someone from County Mayo so fuck them.
I'm thoroughly invested in Westmeath, and now follow Boidu Sayeh on Twitter.
Didn't Henners used to play this to a reasonable level? I'll go for whoever he supports.
I dont remember unfortunetly. The grubby AFL players threw that many dog shots in the 00's it was a miracle no one was killed.
As far as I could tell the odd 'king hit' was the only real reason to watch the AFL. I vaguely recall a (potentially notorious?) Sydney Swan nailing someone a beauty once (or maybe being on the receiving end).

That was it. Big Bad Barry.
I was even going to say the other mob played in blue and yellow.
From my understanding no but giving away a 50m penalty that leads to a goal is just as bad if you ask a brain dead AFL fuckwit.Quote:

I watch the AFL Grand Final every year (#ExpatLife) and every year I think I should watch more of this sport. Very entertaining.
I never do.
From my understanding the club is a mess atm with a few people wanting out.
The AFL media (all our media) is toxic as fuck the poor bugger must have been harrassed 24/7 during covid stuff.
Twitter adds that extreme level to it but all the Murdoch hacks are pure scum. Players wags fuck off on snapchat or insta and boom that's a story. Caught drinking somewhere thats a story. Slight dip in form that it is a story.
League is exactly the same just quietly.
The way the media go way overboard during an Ashes series is another good example.
Now that's a roost!
Good time to jump on the Lions bandwagon.Quote:

I wonder if there's a rule about the player needing to be in control of the ball which leads to them holding and then booting it.
I've always thought they just do that as it's a lot easier to do and these guys aren't exactly Marco Van Basten with the ball at their feet.
Nice finish. He is another who is smart to get out of that shit heap that is Collingwood.Quote:

The best point scored was the single around the 22 min mark. Drilled infield from the touchline, top catch and nailed it over the bar.
8 games in defence but I had to check as I didnt watch Sydney this year.Quote:

That's some fucking hit considering it's the last chance of a match to equalise in a final. Big stones to even go for it from there.
Weird as fuck not having this final in September.
