AFL 2024

Mark ā€˜Chocoā€™ Williams isnt aboriginal.

False rumours of Aboriginality
ā€œI hope you write that you asked me this question. Iā€™m not Aboriginal and if you knew anything about it you wouldnā€™t ask if I was part-Aboriginal because Aborigines will tell you thereā€™s no such thing. You either are, or you arenā€™t. I was asked once to play in an Aboriginal team in the '80s and I said no because I didnā€™t qualify and (he laughs) one player accused me of not being a brother.ā€

Read that this week. Richmond will be pissed at that.

If a Port fan drinks 15 Woodstocks during a game and Port lose by 20 points, how many times will hit his missus?

:astonished: :astonished: :zipper_mouth_face:

I used to work for a large printing company based in Adelaide ( we were the highly successful Sydney office). It was gas going down to Adelaide listening to the management and staff bickering about the Crows and Port . They absolutely hate each other.

Unlike Sydney, Adelaide is a football town.

Port Adelaide are the only one of the old SANFL or WAFL clubs to make the step up to the AFL. A proper club.

They have Eddie McGuire rightly riled up over their jerseys anyway. Its ridiculous that they arent allowed wear them, and that it comes up every year on heritage round then too and all the Collingwood sooks pissing about it then.

Brisbane playing in the Wexford kit @Gman.

Like Wexford, Brisbane are wide specialists and theyā€™re out of the blocks quickly here with two behinds.

Big Joe Daniher is the AFLā€™s answer to Tony Doran. Like watching an old school hurling full forward.

GWS look to have this one under control. 62-34 after four minutes of the second half.

They seem to be timing their run very well. Iā€™d fancy them to beat the Swans in the Grand Final if they can get over Geelong at the MCG next week, which I fancy them to do.

Eric Hipwood misses a set shot from 15 metres straight in front. Iā€™d have put that over with my weak foot.

Iā€™ve seen enough. GWS advance to the preliminary final. Conor McKenna who has just been introduced as a sub will not renew rivalries with Oisin Mullin.

Not watching this at all, but sounds like the old failings of the lions shooting is still a major issue. They misswd some handy ones last week too v carlton and only so many times you can keep that sort of issue and paper over the cracks with wins.

Itā€™s not much to do with McKenna but since McKenna has come on theyā€™ve reduced the margin from 42 to 25.

5:25 left in Q3.

And now itā€™s down to 19!

Free kick on Zorko and he reduces the margin to 13!

3:42 left in Q3. We have a game now alright.

Margin back to 25 now at three quarter time. Jesse Hogan with a big goal.

100-86.

8:23 left. Brisbane wonā€™t go away but they havenā€™t yet made it a two score game.

McCluggage brings the gap under 10 with an assured goal on the run. 100-92.

6:20 left.

GWS definitely exhibiting squeaky bum syndrome again.

Big Joe from 50 metres on the sideline!!!

One point the gap!

3:37 left.

Brisbane have totally penned in GWS in the last 10 minutes.

Big Joe does it again!!! He wins a one on one contested mark and slots it through.

LIONS LEAD!!!

100-105

2:26 left

This fucking sport!

Brisbane complete one of the great comebacks of all time, from 42 points down halfway through the third quarter.

100-105 FT.

Three words: BIG. JOE. DANIHER.

Queensland defeats New South Wales, as usual.
