Amnalos Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 After a long break over summer, the 2005 AFL footy season started over the weekend. That Aussie Rules for those of you unfortunate enough not to follow the greatest sport on Earth. Â My team, the mighty Geelong Cats, beat Richmond by ten goals (that's a thrashing). We don't usually have a good start to the season, so it's nice to get a win first up. Round 2 can't come quick enough. Â Man have I missed footy. Â
Nevareion Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) That would be australian football then.....as opposed to football   Sorry, can never resist that. 4-0, 4-0. Alright so it was Northern Ireland but still, we were pretty damn impressive. Edited March 28, 2005 by Nevareion (see edit history)
Phil VII Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 yay! we beat...the Northern Irish.... well, its some sort of victory i suppose... Â did anyone see the Poland Azerbyjahn result, 8-0! and we play them next wednesday too! Â and aussie rules is not football! , neither is Ameican Rules! thay are football variations, which are just very similer to Rugby Football, the game the rest of the world plays instead..., although the Aussies still play both for some reason... Â anyway, mindless rant over, go football!
Tagmatium Rules Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Argh! I had a party the night before the England game, got to bed after 4, so I thougt I should have a nap before the game started. I then slept straight throught it.
Phil VII Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 lol, i feel for you Tag, it was a pretty decent game actully, all the goals came in the 16 minsa after the second half though, so you didnt miss much in the first half apart from a few missed England chances, i think NI had 1 shot on target the entire game... Paul Robinson touched the ball about 4 times in the match....
Tagmatium Rules Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 And I was on the sofa. No-one bothered to wake me up. Just let me sleep. I woke up in the 88th minute.
Nevareion Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 And your group says Diplomat!!!! Sssssh! Don't mention that! Â Have to say given a choice between aussie rules and american, aussie wins hands down. But then I like rugby league too. Â As for our game against NI, I thought we played very well - given it was a small team - we we're still very impressive. Don't rmemeber a more composed and patient perfomance from an England team.
Phil VII Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 I do think we have a very good team at the moment, Beckam, Roony, John Terry, Lampard, all very good players, but as a team i think we are joining the ''Under Achievers Club'' of Europe, along with Holland and possibly Spain. its an elite group of great teams who just don't achieve what they should
Stoned Smurfs Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 must resist urge to tell these poor souls what REAL football is... Â COUGHCOUGHNFLCOUGHCOUGH Â NFL is football all that other stuff is just soccer!!!
Amnalos Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 Ah yes, NFL, the game Aussie Rules players take up when they become too old and fat and slow to handle the real thing.
Nevareion Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Football. A ball and a foot. No mention of hands anywhere.... Â Dammit! Must be more diplomatic!
Amnalos Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 I'm not getting into a wankfest over which code of football is the best. Needless to say, I prefer the Aussie variety.
Niederoestereich Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 must resist urge to tell these poor souls what REAL football is... COUGHCOUGHNFLCOUGHCOUGH  NFL is football all that other stuff is just soccer!!! What a bunch of pretty boys, all padded up so they don't break a nail. Come to Australia man, and see how real men play
Amnalos Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 I must admit it's a bit odd having the whole team padded up like a bomb squad, running hard for ten seconds before being replaced by ??another team??
Nevareion Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 How long is the aussie rules season? How many teams in the top division?
Phil VII Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 well, Rugby is the real 'ard mans game, no pads, no helmets, just alot of men in shorts with a ball getting taken out. Yes NFL is more violent, but they also play in masses of armour... Â but Real football is the origional game, it was origionaly the most populer sport in the US until some of them saw a rugby game and decided to make their own version. aussie rules, i'm not sure where that came from, cos they play rugby too, (although we still beat them in the world cup....Nergh nergh! )
Niederoestereich Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Blah, bloody england. The match was fixed Wheres your johnny wilkenson now, last time i heard, the pansy was off injured
Nevareion Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 He's always injured. Being part Welsh, I instantly switched loyalties of course.
Amnalos Posted March 29, 2005 Author Posted March 29, 2005 How long is the aussie rules season? How many teams in the top division? Â The season runs for 26 weeks- 22 home and away rounds and four weeks of finals. There is only one division, with sixteen teams. Â (although we still beat them in the world cup....Nergh nergh! ) That's a gift. You can have that seeing as we beat you at everything else. Nergh nergh!
Phil VII Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 heh, yeh, Jonny Wilkinson has played about 2 games since the world cup, he keeps bloody injuring himself. Half our team from the world cup has also changed, so there is little chance of us winning very much in the near future... That's a gift. You can have that seeing as we beat you at everything else. Nergh nergh! and if your talking about the Cricket.... well....erm...just nergh...
Meteorola Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 ya'll are amuzing... you want pain? try ice hockey!
Tagmatium Rules Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I keep meaning to get a cricket bat. More patriotic than a baseball bat. Hurt a burglar more as well, i think.
