Blackers. You’ve had a good run, it’s all circle work, what goes round comes back again, one day. Tiges will be fine. AW

Supafreak. Hi mate.
Well, we better get on, we will be spending a lot of time together. I’m no footy head, but I do follow Collingwood as you know, but I’m not a rampant supporter that’s goes crazy if we lose.
Looking forward to it to be quite honest, I’m very chilled, haven’t got an angry bone in my body , I’m a resolutionist not an antagonist, aggression gets you nowhere and you waste a lot of energy getting angry. I talk a lot, as deduced by many on these forums, I might drive you nuts with all my interest of the biological world.

I will enjoy our travels, meeting new friends is good for the soul, can’t live your life in an entirely insular mode around the same circle of friends. Hopefully over the years we can traverse the entire surfing region that comprises Indonesia from West to East.
Time on earth is our most precious commodity, gotta use it before you eventually lose it. AW

Yeah I don’t watch many games anymore , lost interest years ago . With sport I’ve always preferred playing than watching . I just thought it was funny that you go for the pies & I go for the blues, traditional arch enemies. I have a spot I will probably go to in September that you would like , fill you in when I see ya .

Hi mate. Yes, definitely a coincidence, traditional rivals on the football field but no rivalry in the surf.
I’ve got a Carlton following mate, doesn’t talk to me if Collingwood beats his team, he steams for a few days and then texts me, well done you guys. Really. AW

Well there you go, like tigers of old. If we only win one game, I am glad it was that one. Go Tiges!

Well there goes my footy tipping zero from three and ive been runner up or third a few years in a row.

These first rounds are so hard to pick though, but if you nail most of then you have a big advantage .

GuySmiley. Hi mate.

Houston we don’t have a problem. Hinkley suffers largest deficit total in his career.
Go Pies.

Geelong were very impressive.
I was reroofing a friends garage on Saturday , my mate was at the game, kept texting me, Fremantle look disinterested.
Apparently, Bailey Smith was on fire. All the best. AW

IndoDreaming. Hi fella.

Correct, normal programming restored. Watched it on Kayo, bit of a training drill after half time.
Dan Houston was everywhere and connecting with everyone. What a trade. Hope it turns out well and he stays fit and healthy. AW

Jeebus. Can already imagine 5AA being flooded with calls about Hinkley stepping down immediately and Carr stepping up.

Blackers. Hi mate.

Are your Tigers endorphins still running from Thursday night ?

You could say, Sydney have taken a ‘Swan Dive’. Can’t say I’ve much to like about them.
Their egotistical arrogance came home to roost on GF day 2024, AW

@SouthernRaw, @GuySmiley. Hi to both of you.
Agree, that game had twist and turns, including the umps immersing themselves into the game , which they are encouraged not to do, but they did.

Bombers look alright to me. I think you’ll go all right. AW

Agree @AW, I’ll take the 4 goal loss given the outs, the round 0 bye etc etc … they need to play finals footy to progress

Still a warm glow AW, but that may just be the after effects of the virus I’ve just work out of the system. There were a few one sided matches that were predicted to be close contests, hope that is not a portent for the rest of the season. Cats, Hawthorn and Pies all looked good. Essendon played themselves back into the game okay, Dogs and Roos was a rough scrap but meaningless in the long run I think. Don’t have any issues with Swans personally, but they blew that game by kicking for goal like Ty Vickery.

Cheers @AW and congrats on your big win!
Haha @guysmiley, i remember Sheeds once blamed the seagulls!!
@blackers i never expected to see Ty Vickerys name this morning!!! Worst tiger/hawk ever?
Great win by your Tiges the other night. I was cheering for them!! Just this once ;-)

Ty holds a special place in our collective memories. At the time of his trade I remember seeing a classic meme of him and Clarkson sitting for the team photo, alone on the bench, as they had traded out 4 of their greatest premiership players.

How is it even remotely possible for AFL to spew forth more shit than a dodgy NRL pre season crisis.
Talkin' bout this fuckin' shit...is the 2025 AFL season over already...sure fuckin' looks like it...

Clive's Crumpet of Apricots Tim Tam Promo has more confrontational crunch...
Teeny weenie meanie martini Mussolini's mandatory Mental Ward offer looks like the meal ticket...
Reckon Davy runs wall 2 wall Kayo in his Qld Health Cordial Compounds...
Well...not allowed scarves obviously...Kazoos & Whistles are fine to toot in after dinner conga lines...
Just gotta work out if tbb is already in the asylum...coz this looks and sounds equally mental inside'n'out!

[Disclaimer] Non voting Qldurr tbb apologizes on behalf of all Aussie Voters for cutting Vic's Sat Footy!
tbb invites his 1 millionth southern cousin to a Sat night AFL mental ward split screen channel switch.
"Will ya stop flicking the fuckin' channels...just leave it on Kayo or else we get no desert!"

Haha. Pretty sure Dusty ain't watching no footy games. He'd be playing still if he was.
Bugger, my 4th team, the Eagles, got beaten by my 5th team, the Suns!! Not looking good for the Weagles. Early days but was skeptical of a no name like Mcqualter replacing a gun coach like Simmo.

Funny that Ricmond didn't go with McQualter because they felt he was too similar to Hardwick. He will be okay, but it will take time.

Yeah i dunno. Seems a dud to me but happy to be proven wrong.
