sheep do what everyone else does.

Which is exactly what the end to enders do. They follow each other around the oval at the end of each quarter like sheep....

Be a rebel...stay in your seat

you forgot to mention that the big tough heroes also single out opposition supporters for verbal abuse, provided they well outnumber them, women and children are not spared either

Hopefully the Central supporting woman I saw being cuffed in front of her 4-5 year old daughter (bawling her eyes out near Maccas) won't be spared...

Sorry mate that was where our mini bus was parked and i can guarentee you both those ladies were Sturt supporters, they left their scarfes behind as proof, i suppose you didn't see the bloke standing five meters away from that who had been arrested and hand cuffed a few minutes earlier in his Sturt membership shirt.

Centurion, with respect I'd love to talk to some of the players about it, but I wouldn't take you seriously, but go your hardest.

you obviously dind't see the players "go off" at the after party presentations when the flares where lit then, they loved it and started jumping around and chanting, dancing along with the rest of the crowd.

smac, i always held your comments in high regard on here. No longer. If you think flares add to the event maybe the Dogs really are just playing boring football. I'm no wowsa but anyone condoning the release of flares where there are young children needs their head read.

And the end to end thing, I think I used to do that when I was about 9......

That's trememdous, but your judgements are not what I come here for so please retain them for others. Perhaps if you wish to change something about SANFL, make it your club. If you think you have tried, try again and try harder.

My (11 y.o.) son took me over to the area behind the goals for the final quarter and we had fun there watching/being part of the crowd, dancing with strangers and, yes booney, we enjoyed the smoke and bright lights of the flares.

"Oh thanks Daddy for letting me breath in the strontium nitrate and potassium perchlorate. It makes my eyes and nose and skin feel funny...Next time can I touch the molten magnesium too? Daddy, what's a thyroid?"

I thought Weslo had confused her for the Hamburglar!.................sorry poor taste

Craig was kicked out of the Sturt cheersquad?
Are we talking about the big guy with dark hair?
He was the only person in the Sturt cheersquad I liked and got along with!

You'll have to read my description again. Mullet, druggie shirt wearing, goon bag in hand, 35 to 40 y.o. Big Craig is still around although, he tends to spend more time with the Norwood cheer squad these days.

Ahh cool!

SP?

he's not saying they breathed it in, he is saying they enjoyed watching it go off.

No-one's perfect. At least they can play footy. They can leave judgements about appropriate behaviour in public places to other more sober people.

haha, a dogs fan pointing out bad behaviour of other clubs fans....haha...

voice, i commend you for your position on bad behaviour by blues fans, we have done a great job alerting our club of this and having them act on it. one of few clubs to do so.

i am appauled by the position of some dogs fans here to the flare issue and the issue of safety...really unbelieveable to be honest!

[CENTURION]

well, fwiw, i haven't said that they can't be dangerous, I have just stated that they look good & I like them.

Case closed. We all know footballers aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

BOTH!!

We have a new worker and she's English, just started living in Adelaide recently .She went along to watch the Grand Final and commented on the Flares .I said thats Centrals they aren't supposed to be allowed in the oval.
I said it would be like a soccer game to you .And her reply yep but without all the violence of home .

Not sure what can be done about flares but i hope it doesn't get as bad a s England.

[doggies4eva]

Weslow wallys and SANFL administrators please read this:

Please identify and charge the one or two individuals who are lighting flares. I suggest a CCTV with recorder records the behind the goals group where the flares are always lit. Also an explosive sniffer dog should be able to sniff out the flares before they are lit and without needing the intimate body searches that have been suggested. One these individuals have been charged and receive huge fines please have them banned from SANFL events.

[Dogwatcher]

I'd hate to be investigated by that explosive sniffer dog.

[Dogwatcher]

Explosive dogs have always been a part of our culture though....

If only that were true - some of the other teams might have a fighting chance!
