2007 AFL Thread

I remember the commotion Bennett caused when he joined.... the look of horror on the face of his coaches was hilarious when he made a tackle during a game. They were used to the kicker taking the punt and then hiding

Not a bad career move at all. If successful, guys like him can punt there for another ten years after their AFL career finishes. Darren Bennett left Melbourne FC to do they same thing a decade or more ago.

On the NFL wiki page, the MINIMUM salary for a ROOKIE is $US285,000

Chris Judd to Essendon?!

 

[Winmar]

I've heard rumours of him coming home for a few years, and it's finally happening. I wish we were in the running for his services so I could get excited! Carlton are in the best bargaining position, but who'd want to go there?

 

[Winmar]

So it's Geelong v Port. Go Cats!!

 

[Sydo]

Go Cats!
Go Jimmy Bartel!

 

[Priest of Evil]

It was a shame to see Ricciuto's career end like that, but it's often the way it goes when your last game's a final, I guess.

a travesty but no-one to blame but themselves!

Could well be a Geelong v Port grand final. I'm hoping the Cats win, as they've been the best team all year.

hahah agreed!

 

[Winmar]

Bartel looked a very humble winner - nice one.

I played a Brownlow drinking game with a couple of mates. Had to have a shot every time Robert Harvey or one of our ineligible players got a vote. Later extended it to anyone with a guernsey number in the 20s. I got up and got dressed today, but then had to call in sick.

 

[phlogiston]

Well that was a fucking waste of time. I didn't notice, was Port actually on the ground?

 

[Spiff]

I saw the last ten minutes or so (as is my AFL grand final tradition) and thought the better team won.

Yet again, a player I've never heard of wins the Norm Smith medal (just like the Brownlow). Goes to show just how little I know about the game. I only really know AFL players if they play for Brisbane or get caught up in some sort of scandal. Oh, and if they're just absolutely huge stars. Other than that I'm quite clueless.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

CATS

 

[Southy]

my money was on the cats, port just couldn't handle the pressure, that and they suck balls

 

[Goreripper]

Disgraceful.

 

[Southy]

who me?

 

[Goreripper]

No, Port.

 

[Priest of Evil]

119 points, thats the biggest defeat ever in a Grand Final, right? Nice work Port Power

 

[Winmar]

That was an awesome grand final to watch. They need to either be close (like 1989 and 2006) or a complete and utter blowout, like Saturday. Those 60 point wins are lame, but this was a goalfest, so I enjoyed it. Plus Geelong had been waiting since 1963, so it was great to see them shit all over Port and then some.

If it's any consolation, Spiff, I don't know Johnson (who won the Norm Smith medal) very well either.

Where's Sydo?

 

[Dän]

HAHAHAHAHA Port got smashed, suck shit.
