As for you Cracker, you need to read the Geelong supporters handbook! [-X I do like Cyril Rioli though, that kid can really play.

I'm not a fan of the Hawks either, don't you worry about that. I hate Collingwood though.

How can you hate a team that hasn't beaten us in a final since 1981? Too many Norwood boys have played at Collingwood for me to hate them.

Nah.. He was a bit soft and lacked killer instinct when it got tight.
Judas was a good in and under player.

Aishy became a favourite when he played with a broken arm one day at Footy Park, sat in the goalsquare and kicked five goals.

We lost.

He used to save his best for you blokes. Probably because you guys always tried to belt the living suitcase out of him. Loved the 84 Granny. If you didn't go the biff you would have won that game.

Still have nightmares about Dwayne Russell running through a Norwood defender AFTER Tim Evans had marked in the goalsquare in the first few minutes.

Laurie Argent blows his whistle, pays the free-kick and a certain goal which would've settled the nerves goes begging...

Also Lance Franklin, mainly because of his winning goal against the crows in 2007, My most favourite AFL match of all time, cannot count how many times i've watched it on Youtube.


You enjoyed the Crows losing more than Port winning a flag?


Yeah maybe too hard to seperate


Wow that really is sad mate.

I find it quite funny when some fans hate their rivals so much that they would rather see their rival lose instead of their own team winning. Pathetic really.


Yep too right :D , i don't really support port as i used to anyway. Have been fustrated with them over the past couple of years so i don't watch them as much, I try and watch as many AFL games per week as I can, Sometimes other teams play better footy than the team you support does. Playing the game has also aided this.
