    Ah, I remember. The app that started the AFL chat :) Welcome! :p

    Thinking it will be a close game. Seems like the "fortress" that is Patterson's is becoming less so ;)
    But I too hope your Dockers get up! :)

    Haha. But I'm sure you will be happy the way the Weagles are going :p

    Will McPharlin be back for the clash?

    Heard Hurley and Fletch won't be available Thursday. Sucks :/

    Couple big losses there. Didn't Fletch turn 80 last week? That guy is such a machine. I remember seeing him play his 1st season way back when. He looked like he wouldn't finish the year because of his body type. Now looking back he would probably be in the top 10 best full backs ever.

    Not sure. I hope so. Thing is at least if he's not we can plan around it. McPharlin dropped just before the game which screwed us last week. We had no back up plan going against the hawks. Urggh

    Absolutely shattering news.

    How many reconstructions can you have before it stops being a "reconstruction". Surely after 4 it's an entirely different knee

    Best 10? I would have to say he's in the top 3! Most agree that SOS is probably the best fullback ever, but old man Fletch comes close! Although I think we're lucky with the plethora of talls we have, Fletcher is irreplaceable.

    Yeh, can't rely on Dawson can ya? ;)

    Dunno :/

    Hopefully he won't retire young. It would be such a shame :(

    If Melbourne keep going down the track they're going down they should move over there. The Kiwi Dees
     
  11. Soon enough there will end up being a NZ team in the competition

    Was thinking more of a Tassie team.

    Like, the Tassie Demons.

    Well. I wouldn't be surprised. You've intruded upon our local soccer, basketball and gods know what else teams. We might have to change it to ANZFL lol.
     
  13. I don't quite get this thread. Is it soccer, rugby, or american football? And for what country or countries?

    @Connector. This is AFL = Australian Football League.

    Nah nah. It's called 'Football' but completely different.

    If you're interested, here's a video of the match highlights from last weeks game. My favourite team is Essendon, which in the video is the team with the grey and red Guernsey.



    The objective is to kick the ball through the tall middle sticks.
