Go the CATTERS!!
 

Geelong wins the 2007 AFL grand final! Woo hoo.
Bad luck to Port Adelaide who got smashed.
The town is going crazy already, people are outside on the street waving their scarves and flags. Won't risk the city tonight, time to head for the hills, off to Inverleigh for a roast diner and a few quiet ones with my girl.

Sorry Bob and all you other SA fans.

:cheers:

Is that 'Aussie Rules'?

Thus spake a frightfully ignorant Canuck... :ergh:

Whats AFL? :confused
Thus spake a frightfully ignorant English person.

Wild guess...
 

]Whats AFL?
Just a guess...
Australian Fat Lads...????
:drunk: :sheep: :kangaroo

I would hazzard a guess at Australian Football League.

Probably not the same as good old CFL or NFL football but rather the same football our UK friends play as well (soccor to us ignorant types...) :kangaroo :kangaroo

way off
 

Well I'm back and you are all way off, not rugby, not soccer, not english football but Aussie rules, the greatest game in the world ( yes I'm bias ). :D
Look up: http://www.gfc.com.au/

The city did go crazy last night and there is still a feeling of euphoria today.
:cheers:

Ever heard of Darren Bennett who played for the San Diego Chargers ? He was the punter he retired from AFL at the age of Thirty because of the strain and punishment on his body so he went and played NFL for ten years until he retired from sport to spend time with his family . Does that say anything about AFL ?

The Cats did an awesome job of tearing port apart ! :note:

Where's my thinking
 

Thanks Plushy for the link and the explanation. Not thinking straight at the moment.
Apparently they closed off some of the town centre in Geelong last night as there was just too many people. I had friends there who said they saw streakers and people car surfing and just general mayhem. But all in good spirits.
Will be watching the news tonight. :drunk:

Oh, football. . . . . . . . . .

I'm off to a Vogon poetry recital then.

Vogon poetry
 

Couldn't agree more! :yappy:

airial ping pong and other stuff
 

(Im wonderin' what Jiff's gonna say now Keef?)

Something like 'What th..."

(It IS British humour but it's not Monty Python) :cool:

Re: airial ping pong and other stuff
 

Just wait 'til he sees the Aust v Canada score in Rugby World Cup! :eek:

Aust Vs Canada Rugby World Cup
 

I sat up last night to watch the Australia - Canada match wholly for the comedic relief. It was so entertaining I just had to watch the repeat this afternoon...............
I really can't say that the words Canada and Rugby should be used in the same sentence................

Re: Aust Vs Canada Rugby World Cup
 

Is that played with sticks..???

:doh: :sheep: :drunk: :kangaroo

Re: airial ping pong and other stuff
 

Might I suggest a very, very small fish to stick in yor ear could be efficacious.

I must say, there are some very peculiar blokes on this forum... :ergh:

Grand Final
 

Hi Ryan

Well done to the Cats, Geelong certainly needed some good news given the closure of your engine plant. We didn't see the match other than catch the last few minutes at Plushys. The Phoenix recovery was our priority. As for Port Power, at least they were there and they once again showed all the VFL teams that Victorian footy clubs and the AFL in general are legends in their own minds.

Bob

Ian and Tony

Ahhh but at least Canada has a Rugby Team. :thup:

I fail to see an Aussie Hockey Team playing anywhere. :D

You know, Hockey? THE toughest sport. :note:

Darrell

choking !
 

GAWD !

Aussies play real hockey and win gold medals at the Olympics regularly ( well, the womens team does anyway ).... We don't play that ice game , where most of the time , they seem more interested in punching each other . :nono: I won't mention the ridiculous money they get either ..... we are guilty of that too . Footy is a religion here , literally, in the true sense . It's tribal, neanderthal , said enough .

2011 Grand final
 

It's coming up again next weekend. Cats verses the pies.

GO CATS!!!!! Smash those toothless collingwood no hopers.

And for all you canuks, yanks and poms who haven't a clue of what I'm talking about:

http://www.afl.com.au/


oh, by the way.

GO CATS!!

GO CATS !!!! Hope our boys smash the Colliwobbles ! :thup2:

Football?
 

Oh, there's a game of football on this weekend?
I thought all that guff finished last weekend.
The last (only) game I went to was the 1966 grand final. More than enough to last a lifetime.

bugger another waste of TV space this weekend :whinge

Alternative
 

You could watch one of the "Year of" series instead. :yappy:

keith and cliff
 

Heathens!
Oh yeah......GO CATS!
:yappy:

sorry Keith not even a DVD player here to play a decent movie on :bang:

Caringbush
 

No supporters for the maggot pies?

Aussie vs Canada in Lacross..now that would be interesting!!!

I think that would be a tad one sided also...but of course you can hit each other with the sticks in that game..and very little padding....could be worth watching!!! LOL

Dean

GO CATS!!! I've been a Geelong supporter my entire life, so GO CATS!!

Ah, yes: Australian Rules Football. Should only be encouraged. Just think of all those thousands, ney, tens of thousands of people it keeps hemmed into stadiums or glued to TVs on a weekend, and out of the countryside where us other folk chose to play.... (well, before they banned having fun with firearms, anyway....)

Ahh, the memories.

No, I have NOT attempted to learn the rules of that US Grid Iron thingie since I got here, anymore than I could tell you the seemingly perverse rules that appear to regulate Aussie Rules. I do miss a good hot meat pie and sauce, and a coldie on a Saturday, but can't say I ever enjoyed that repaste at a football game of any code. Keefy and I seem to have similar regard to such games, so I'm content that I'm not alone. :note:

That should stir the pot!
