[Felder]

[Grunt]

I find it interesting that they split the game into two when it barely deserves to be one.

[Felder]

I find it interesting that they split the game into two when it barely deserves to be one.

And yet they both have international tournaments. :shrug:

Peteforgot.... what team do you follow pete

[HappyHammer]

Just wasted 5 minutes going to this site only to be asked what my favourite AFL team was...I thought you said footy:doh:

HH.

[Grunt]

Australian Football League.

BTW, what does NRL stand for? Not Really Lucid?

[Felder]

BTW, what does NRL stand for?

National Rfootball League.

Ever notice how the "R" is so close to the "F" on your keyboard? Someone made a typo when they registered the league. Probably an ex-AFL player.

[Shedhand]

Rugby League or Rugby Union? :?Colletively they are known as thugby bum sniffers. :D

[Shedhand]

Australian Football League.

BTW, what does NRL stand for? Not Really Lucid?Nitwit Rugby Louts :doh:

[martrix]

and chaired by John Hopoate:C :no:

[Shedhand]

http://www.fnwb.com.au/img/header.jpg

Go Doggies!......stick it right up em.....E.J.Um..I thought it was the Western Bulldogs :?

[martrix]

Um..I thought it was the Western Bulldogs :?
According to the AFL.

According to the Red-White and blue bloods.......its still Footscray.

[Grunt]

There is a section of the Bulldog community that haven't let go yet.

[Grunt]

So what do we have the National Rootball League?

[Felder]

There is a section of the Bulldog community that haven't let go yet.
Same reason the Swannies had to put SMFC on their backs when they made the Grand Final.....:rolleyes: (although that had nothing to do with the Bulldog community, but you get my drift....don't you?)

[Felder]

So what do we have the National Rootball League?

Yes. :)












Jealous? :p

[Grunt]

If you blokes want to rootballs, go ahead.

The Western Bulldogs have since they became the Western Bulldogs FFC on the back of their jumpers.

Brisbane Lions have BBFFC on the back of theirs.

[HappyHammer]

Australian Football League.

BTW, what does NRL stand for? Not Really Lucid?

There's only one football and for some reason Australia has blindly followed the Americans and called it soccer.:q

HH.

[Grunt]

The Brits made up the name Soccer. Australian Rules Football existed before Soccer.

[Cliff Rogers]

I still don't know why footballs have tips? :?

[Grunt]

So you can hold them.

[HappyHammer]

HH.

[Felder]

I still don't know why footballs have tips? :?
So you can stand in line at your local pool.

[HappyHammer]

That's as maybe Grunt but only formally by 4 years. The problem is you only occaisionally kick the ball mostly you use your hands, this is true in Aussie Rules also....:U :o

HH.

[Grunt]

No, we kick the ball more than we hand pass the ball. Sure we use our hands but soccer players use their chests, heads and knees. The goalie also uses their hands.

[Cliff Rogers]

So you can hold them.
Why don't cricket balls have tips?

[HappyHammer]

No, we kick the ball more than we hand pass the ball. Sure we use our hands but soccer players use their chests, heads and knees. The goalie also uses their hands.

Is it against the rules for the ball to touch a players chest head or knee in AFL?

What about the bouncing it on the floor bit?

HH.

[Cliff Rogers]

So you can stand in line at your local pool.
Don't start that again, that is how we got in strife on the Friday thread. :D

[HappyHammer]

No, we kick the ball more than we hand pass the ball. Sure we use our hands but soccer players use their chests, heads and knees. The goalie also uses their hands.

I bet you touch the ball more with your hands than your feet because every time you kick it you touch it with your hands as well as hand balling and bouncing sounds like more use of the hands than the feet to me....

EDIT: oh yeah I forgot rucking and tipping also...

HH.

[Grunt]

I don't know what that has to with it. Aussie rules has as much if not more right to call it self football than soccer does. Rugby and Gridiron that's another story.

It takes quite a bit of skill to bounce a ball that shape while running full pelt on wet slippery grass.

[Grunt]

Except when we soccer it.

[Felder]

By "we", I assume you meant "I", meaning "you". :?

Well why don't they just slow down a bit? Why are they always in such a rush? If they slowed down, then they wouldn't be so puffed all the time, either. :?



:D

[HappyHammer]

What did you call that before soccer existed?

HH.

[Grunt]

Kicking the ball off the ground.

[Cliff Rogers]

By "we", I assume you meant "I", meaning "you". :?...:D
YOU asked about the third quadrant, not me. :oo: :p

[Grunt]

Cliff, you want to continue that in the Friday thread. Still 5 hours left.

[Grunt]

Well why don't they just slow down a bit? Why are they always in such a rush? If they slowed down, then they wouldn't be so puffed all the time, either. :?



I've always wondered that too. The Olympics moto should have been slower, lower, weaker.

[Cliff Rogers]

Cliff, you want to continue that in the Friday thread. Still 5 hours left.
Yeap, I'm working on it. :2tsup:

[Gumby]

? Someone left the door of the friday thread open and one of them has escaped. Get back in there you. :cool:

[Cliff Rogers]

? Someone left the door of the friday thread open and one of them has escaped. Get back in there you. :cool:
I can't Al closed it early & now I stuck out here on the street with a bunch of football hooligans. :(

[Grunt]

Al should be shot. Letting these Friday thread hooligans out without their mums. :(

[Cliff Rogers]

Beer o'clock, have fun with ya footy tips, let me know who wins. :2tsup:

[Shedhand]

A Poem.

Poor ol' Cliff the dodgy bodgy
lives in Cairns where the toadies play
When it comes to footy he's not real bright
But it doesn't matter, not today
Cos the real footy's on tonight

(C) Sheddy 2007

:D

[Cliff Rogers]

Thank you Sheddy.... :ohyou: You shouldn't have..... :p

Isn't posting poetry :lolabove: in a Footy thread some sort of a code violation? :whip:

[Grunt]

Quite so, Cliffy.

Unless it is Vogon Poetry.

Pre season, thats all Sheddie. It dosen't count:wink:

[fred.n]

Sign up with the Bombers:D :D

Trust me:rolleyes:

[Grunt]

I am in, I am in, I am in. :D What do I need to do next?


Sign up. Check out the first page of this thread. Don't worry if you don't know any thing about football, I think it actually helps in footy tipping not knowing.

[SPIRIT]

hay shedy that 2nd qt was bad how many handballs do they wont
no mid feild so they had to run it out it looked more like rugby :((

[Shedhand]

hay shedy that 2nd qt was bad how many handballs do they wont
no mid feild so they had to run it out it looked more like rugby :((Yeah the idiots. If they don't start kickin the pig forward when they get a clean possession they gonna be dead meat this year too.

Hawks Kicks 143 hand balls 166
Blues Kicks 172 handballs 132

I rest my case. :((:((

[Wongo]

Don't worry if you don't know any thing about football, I think it actually helps in footy tipping not knowing.


I am offended. I actually know a lot about football. After all Australian football was originated in China. You didn't know that did you?

We stopped playing thousands of years ago when people started getting points even if they missed.

:rofl:

Here is my strategy. Back the Swans every week and whoever plays Carlton. :cool: :D

[Grunt]

Well sign up then. There's a $100 worth of UBeaut products up for grabs.

[SPIRIT]

re handballing where is the game going :? :(( :~

[Wongo]

Well sign up then. There's a $100 worth of UBeaut products up for grabs.


Who said I didn't.:cool:

[fred.n]

Who said I didn't.:cool:

So now there's nine.........I might be able to scrape into the top ten :D

[Shedhand]

Can I put my 2 grandsons in...both mad keen Hawks members. :)

Shedhand, I suppose I don't have a problem with it if no one else does. How much Traditional or Sheethot Wax will they use if they win?

[Wongo]

Wongo, who are you?


Oops! Try again Grunt.:-

[Grunt]

Excellent. We're at 11. Fred.n you're chances of being in the top 10 are now slim. :D

[Honorary Bloke]

Alright you lot, I'm in! :D May finish in the top 12 if no one else signs on. :rolleyes:

[Grunt]

Onya Bob, this'll make an Aussie out of ya.

Chris

[Shedhand]

Shedhand, I suppose I don't have a problem with it if no one else does. How much Traditional or Sheethot Wax will they use if they win?None. It'll be my xmas present from them... :D

Just trying to boost the numbers is all. :wink:

[martrix]

Good one Bobby!:2tsup:
You will be surprised at how well you'll go. Every tipping comp I've been in, the winner is usually someone thats not really very interested in the game.

I am going to put together a pack of veneers for the booby prize.....Its just as hard to try and lose as it is to win... DAMHIKT. pics tomorrow.

[Shedhand]

Alright you lot, I'm in! :D May finish in the top 12 if no one else signs on. :rolleyes:G'day Bloke. I'm pretty sure that Fox Sport on Cable in some US states broadcasts Aussie Rules programming. I hear its got a bit of a following in California. Although with Arnie in charge they probably have Austrian Cow De-horning contests broadcast. :D

Cheers and good tipping. (whispers quietly that the bottom 4 will be, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond and Kangaroos) so don't tip them unless playing each other -- then toss a coin. :2tsup:
