Power v Roos Preliminary Final

[Dutchy]

Got to training with my boys wearing their Roos gear.....interesting that THompson did all the training...late change?

in their match simulation drills they had Petire, Hale, Azza and McIntosh all forward...reckon they are going to try and stretch the inexperienced Power defence given the fine day we are expecting...

didnt get a photo, they went straight from the field, I heard they mingled with the fans before the session started could have waited for them to go to the bus but the 10 month old wasnt prepared to wait!

good turnout from the Roos fans, about 200, pretty good for our club....I know about 10 Crows fans going to the game just to barrack for the Roos!!!

Pity about the pic mate. Hope you get another chance.

Typical of Cows fans. Their own team is pathetic so they have to jump on another's bandwagon.

Port supporters would know, they're the expert of jumping off a black and white bus onto a turquoise bandwagon.

By contrast I, as a CRrows fan, plan to support Port since they have so few supporters, and most of them don't turn up to matches, so they can use all the support they can get.

[Also because my wife who grew up in the Port district will kick me in the shins if I don't, after she has suffered in silence each time the Crows have cleaned them up with such monotonous regularity lately...]

The Powwaaa doesn't need the help of grandma's army.

I had a season ticket and membership since '97, but it's now a little hard to travel to the games from London. The missus has put the foot down and wouldn't let me come home for the prelim - her mum's a Crows supporter, so it figures.

Are you sure that isn't the Pooorrr? Your situation is understandable, DA. It is the rest of Port's alleged supporters I was talking about.

I was a staunch Norwood fan and regular attender of SANFL matches until I graduated and started my own business, and then a second company, but to be honest I have not been to a football match in years, particularly since I sold the house on Delfin Island and moved to Melbourne. Now I live 1 1/2 hours from the "G" and I'm not that motivated to go to AFL matches as you can't get casual tickets easily, and I can't reliably enough get to matches to justify a subscription that will be wasted half the time! TV has to do, as reliable leisure, and running two companies you own, is mutually exclusive.

Next year we'll be in the UK too, and the companies will be sold or closed - which may not be a bad thing when the Unions start pulling Rudd's strings, since he looks like winning the election. It has helped my decision to take the money I have accumulated over the years of hard work and run while I can.

You sound too clever to be a Redlegs fan .

Australia isn't dumb enough to elect (c)Rudd surely.

Unfortunately, I think they will, but they'll get a punk group called "Julia and the Unions" instead!

love the bottom photo dutchy lets hope the roos stay in Melbourne for all roo's supporters sake. My lil ones went to the VFL the other week and for 8 months old all they wanted to do watch watch the red ball move up and down the ground. They creacked it when they couldn't see the footy or someone was standing in their way.

[Dutchy]

Thats crap Wedgie and you know it,its trolling,something we try to avoid on this site.

If North added a touch of blue to their strip,and joind the AFL,you would not follow them?

I'd remain loyal to Geelong in the AFL whilst continuing to support the club that's been around for over 100 years in the SANFL.
Unlike most of the turquoise wagon.
I must apologise for being generalistic though as there is a thousand or two that remained loyal to the Magpies in the SANFL who go every week and my comment certainly wasn't directed to those loyalists.

PS Dutchy, great pic of the young 'un.

[Dutchy]

alright Im off to the game....good luck all and may the best team win, I wont be on here until the morning as Im going straight to a 40th after the game...
