Realistically? Is this a wasted AFL weekend?

[Dog_ger]

BigV v Whoever...?

Who really cares..?

Williams predicts 80 thousand....?

What's your prediction..?

[Dog_ger]

48,289

But the AFL may exagerate the gate receipts...?

[brod]

Any idea of how ticket sales are going?

[Booney]

You've got to be quicker than that Dog_ger.

Ask yourself a question and take a full minute to answer it.....

[JK]

Brod, Booney, stop interrupting Dog_Ger while he's mid-conversation with himself

[Mr66]

Yes.
But I'll be going to watch the VAFA,Southern,Western Region League games.
Like I do every weekend.

[Wedgie]

Im looking forward to enjoying a challenging game involving Geelong players for the first time in a year!

[CUTTERMAN]

In short yes, but it does give us a good idea where the mindset of the AFL is under The D.
Navel gazing in Victoria
Where the bellybuttons don't have lint.

340 separate AFL players across the 16 clubs are going back to their original clubs this weekend or being sent to regional / suburban areas to push the footy is 150 years old and we should be proud of it message for all those local leagues with big games on.

If you don't like the match at the MCG, and I concede that plenty don't, then get to your nearest big rivalry that you do like and watch that. I hope Norwood smashes Port and I hope the Old Igs make it three in a row now that we've found form. Important thing this week is that our game is our only home-grown game and we should be talking it up, whether the most important thing to us is our AFL club, our state league club or our club in the park.

Thus endeth passionate sermon.

great post even for a Norwood Supporter.....

In the NRL it should be a good game when the Panthers take on the Bulldogs Saturday night live on Fox!

GO YOU PANTHERS!!!

Knock yourself out Soje. You can watch a game where blokes will run flat chat into a line of Gorllias five times in a row. Then magically, something will actually happen and someone will actually kick it. After a brief moment of action when the possession of the ball is actually disputed, the game comes alive. Then it's back to where we started with five more predicatable hit ups and five more predictable tackles. Every now and then a player might get put into a gap and he might run as far as 15 metres before he gets ankle tapped and then it's back to you...yep, you guessed it three or four more predictable hit ups and three or four more predictable tackles. The only advantage Rugby League has over real Football is that physicality has not been outlawed out of their code to the same extent that it has in OURS...yes Ours not something from England and they haven't really gotten anything right since they invented Cricket.

Meanwhile I will be watching Matthew Richardson, Jimmy Bartel, Chris Judd, Buddy Franklin, Jonathon Brown, Adam Cooney, Daniel Kerr and many others strut their stuff in a match that should be without many of the more defensive aspects of Football. It will sort of be like an Essendon game except both teams will be able to play.

I admit to being lukewarm at best about this match earlier on but when I checked out the lineups as posted in Inside Football I thought, 'hang on, this will be a great game'. And I reckon it will be. Here's to 150 years of the greatest code on Earth.

I've warmed to the concept during the past week, all I hope is the All-Stars knock off the Vics!

[Magpiespower]

Hate the namby-pamby 'Dream Team' tag.

There's only one 'Dream Team' - the '92 US Olympic basketball team with Magic, Michael, Larry and co. That's it!

AFL should've bit the bullet and billed this exhibition match as...

Victoria v AUSTRALIA!

The Big V versus The Green and Gold!

Just for a little added spice...

You're forgetting that Geelong was a post width away from losing to the side that was beaten by Melbourne merely weeks ago.

like my good self your an honorary Queenslander arent u REB....nothing wrong with a good game of thugby.........

[LaughingKookaburra]

This game is a disgrace. What if each state in Australia was graded. 1-Victoria, 2-SA, 3-WA, 4-NSW, 5- QLD, 6- TAS. Each year if you win you go up a fixture the next year,you lose you go down a fixture the next year. That way no club is disadvantaged....
