these are the 2 best teams?

Sydney can't kick straight, they can't catch, they can't pick the ball up, this is a joke GF i'm watching here.

Someone should pop into the Sydney dressing room and inform them that the game started a while ago. West Coast aren't even playing that well themselves. Shit game.

Fuck this game sucks. None of these guys are kicking well. Sydney only behind by 11 now and they're kicking pathetic. Atleast the 4th quarter will be interesting.

Ok. 73 to 72. Now we have a game. Still kinda boring, but atleast it's close. West Coast to win it though.

Heh. Having said that West Coast are back in to lead by 7 again. Swans can't win it. They're too slow at reacting.

West Coast took it. Fuck i hope the Storm and Broncos NRL Grand Final isn't as boring and dodgy as this game.

Congrats to West Coast though.

Fuck, that turned out to be another classic like last year's GF. GREAT GAME!!!!

I was cheering for Sydney, but the result is for the best. Now we must have the rubber match to end this classic trilogy!

What is it with umpires and trying to fuck up grand finals? The Harrigan effect?

Another classic Swans / Eagles clash...

Unfortunately now I have to put up with the whole WA thing for the next three months (wonder if I can move back to Tassie four months early?).

Anyway, highlights for me;

1) Ambrose don't get no beer :) ... not that he will care less at the moment anyway.

2) Sydney got slaughtered in the ruck for most of the game. This will hopefully elevate Everitt's value at the trade table. Still hoping we can wrest away a first round pick.

3) The Eagles won... which means they will probably aim to retain their current team structure. This is good news for the rest of the comp as it keeps them somewhat mortal. I swear if you add a decent KPP to that forward line (Fevolva etc) they would lining up for the next five flags.

Well done Eagles... :(

eagles missed 1 more time than the swans, they win the comp.

suck fucking shit sydney you fucking shit boring fucks. :fight

You know how the whole sydney team was sitting down together during the presentations? That's where they were when the siren went. Everyone just sat down after their flooding tactics finally failed. Fuckers.

End of boring football, bring on the Bomber 17th in 2007! :up:

A behind is not a miss. There are four posts, two goal and two behind. If the ball passes between the posts you get a score. Miss them and the ball goes out of bounds.

yeah but who aims for a behind?

It's interesting though, I mean i'm not an AFL fan so my opinion doesn't hold much weight... but what if you take the little posts out of the ground? would that be so bad?

and i'd like it to be play on if the ball hits the posts, if it goes through off the posts it's a goal, if it goes back into the field of play it's play on.

line 1... yeah, whatever.

line 2... no argument there.

line 3... so what? very few brownlow medalists have walked away with a premiership medal in the same year. in fact, pre-2000 the vast majority of brownlows were taken by sides that finished outside the finals. i can only assume you are a wc supporter who is a little bitter re: an eagle not winning it.
