2012 AFL Grand Final

[Rik E Boy]

Its actually quite farcical that this can happen in a "professional" sporting organisation.

They appear no more to be making up BS clauses about CPI oran allowance to keep players at the club who may want to return home interstate. They're just saying they'll just make it up as they go along, and do what they want.

Boo hoo. Tell it to the Fitzroy fans Port man.

Personally dont have an issue with it.
Very hard for a non football state to attract players

Fitzroy is irrelevant to the argument.

Port would have entered the AFL in 97 regardless of whether Fitzroy was there or not.

But Fitzroy may have got a leg up if Port weren't in the wings.

Exactly. GWW is spewing about the AFL when it doesn't suit him.

Wouldnt it be just as hard for SA & WA clubs to lure players away from VIC due to the extra media/job oppurtunities Melbourne offers in life after football.

Also correct me if im wrong the only players clubs have to 'lure' is from trade week, as drafted players have to go to the clubs they are drafted by. So essentially there getting extra salary cap room for the 1-3 players they trade for each season.

[Turbo]

Wish Carlton had an extra million in the salary cap like the swans do........

You do!!!!
Chris Judd's dodgy VISY deal

Your blokes have been dishonest too. Would love to see how close collingwood are to going over

If they don't lose a couple of players after the Cloke deal, you know it's dodgy

[Jimmy_041]

Any particular reason that muppet Gieschen thinks the GF should be umpired differently than every other game during the year?

How about applying the same "let them play" rules to every other game?

[Mr66]

Nah Jimmy, that's TOO sensible.
AFL would never go for that.

[MatteeG]

A team effort against a side that had too many not doing enough.

Just got back. Gees thats a long drive after a heartbreaker.

I love how a thread about the Grand Final turns into a Port Adelaide sookfest.

Wah Wah, effing Wah

agreed....

GO YOU SWANS 2012!!!!!

[Footy Smart]

A champion team will always beat a team of champions.

I said it all week, that sydney could break them down and get the job done when needed.

IMO Goodes showed why is in the champion/legend status. On one leg, stood fwd and demanded the footy - in that last qtr when the game was to be won he ran his guts out.....

[whufc]

watching the replay, because thats what winners do... were the most underrated side, and we [roved every one wrong AGAIN...

Not everyone.
Had Swans 1-39, ROK with the Norm and Reid for 1st goal.
Guess 2 out of 3 aint bad

great effort mate...
i just love the fact know one rated us all year...

I still dont

I like the fact that I rated them enough to win by 1-19 & rated ROK enough to win the Norm Smith, good day
