I have no problem with people liking AFL solely. Ok soccer isn't your cup of tea, fair enough. What I DO have a problem with are the following people:

- Those that follow AFL and constantly bag the shit out of soccer for no reason. By this I mean Kevin Sheedy and co who just hang shit on the sport. Why? What the fuck has soccer done to you? They claim it will never catch AFL, well if it never will then why keep harping on about it?

- Those that bag soccer and have jumped on the bandwagon to cash in on the popularity (Footy Show). I know Eddie McGuire is a big Celtic fan, but the rest of them - what the fuck? These people are like Kevin Sheedy with blatant attacks on the game for NO reason, yet go to fucking Germany to do a show! Do you see SBS take their Sunday afternoon The World Game panel to the G for the AFL Grand Final? No!

- Those that CONSTANTLY compare AFL to soccer, be it deliberately or accidently. By that I mean pricks who go "ohhh 50 metres!" whenever someone is fouled, or calling the referees umpires or whatever. IT'S A DIFFERENT FUCKING SPORT, GET OVER IT IT IS NOT AFL. IF YOU DONT LIKE THE NAMES AND RULES OF THIS SPORT DONT FUCKING WATCH IT!

I will say it again, I have NO problem with people who like AFL and don't like soccer but never bag it. But if wankers want to hang shit on soccer unnecessarily then be prepared for AFL to cop it and for dickheads wanting to be smartarses to cop it like Sam Newman did in Germany. And speaking to a few of my AFL + soccer-loving mates ALL of them agree with me that the AFL and AFL people are full of shit in this situation and they should just leave soccer alone.

I was a big footy fan as a kid because I got more exposure to than I did to soccer, and my old man used to like going to AFL instead of soccer. But once I started going to soccer live, I grew more and more interested and my interest in AFL dropped off significantly. Since becoming more and more involved in my club I have seen first hand the blatant racism and prejudice against soccer by not only media and AFL but also the general public. So as a result I have grown very against AFL.

I'm more than happy to have a healthy debate about this subject but I'm not going to answer back in this thread to bullshit posts intended to shit stir (which is what I will 1000% cop back from Y2C).

By the way the above isn't directed at you P.C it's more of a general post.

Kevin Sheedy bagged basketball, not soccer you nounce. & he will spin up any shit to shift the attention from the fact that his team is shit. (Not only in the AFL, but their VFL affiliate side is going shit too; both in the seniors & reserves)

You bag "AwFuL" as much as anybody else bags soccer.

Ice hockey is a great sport. A few problems with its take off is that it doesn't snow in half the world, and that less people would wanna go into a freezing cold stadium to watch a game of sport.

Y2C, you are a fucking idiot. I make comparisons between the 2 firstly as a joke and secondly as a result of AFL people firstly bagging soccer.

Even Kid Robb knows I bailed from Carlton before they went shit so fuck off with that bullshit. I dislike AFL now and will never go back to liking it so get over it.

And as for Kevin Sheedy not bagging soccer... Ive just died at that comment so fucking ill-informed and misguided, no idea

Oh, ok then. When you make comparisons about the 2 sports it's as a joke but then when anybody else does the same thing then it's them being scared of soccer.

I reckon it's hilarious that you (and lots of other wog cunts) spend your life claiming that Soccer will overtake AFL as being the biggest sport in Australia, yet when other people take notice of the sport you bag everybody for jumping on the bandwagon.

You can't have it both ways.

Y2C and Yianni you are both as bad as each other.

Y2C does have a point though. Wogs always predict that soccer will overtake AFL but when it does reach some level of popularity. Wogs get all shitty and complain about all the extra supporters thier club has gained.

And Y2C Sheedy has given soccer plenty of shit thoughout the year.


But what I dont understand Yianni you give shit to all the panielists on the Germany Footy show edition but you exuse Eddie of all people. You do understand that Eddie is the CEO of Channel 9 and this show was most likily his idea and he is the one who hand picked the panel and decided to include Gary Lyon, Sam Newman and so forth. So if you pissed off about the that particular example of the media you anger is best directed at Eddie the rest are just minions who do what they are told.

The only reason why Sheedy says ANYTHING is to either promote his club or get the attention away from the fact that they are shit at football.

It's one thing to have new supporters to the game, but it's another to have bandwagon. I welcome those who have never followed the sport in the past but now are interested and make a genuine attempt to follow it and get to know the rules etc. I have no time for wankers who sit there going "ooo ump give the bloke a 50". There's a difference.

So if you pissed off about the that particular example of the media you anger is best directed at Eddie the rest are just minions who do what they are told.
What so he's going to take The Footy Show to Germany and not take the core part of the panel? It wouldn't be The Footy Show then. I know Eddie's position at Channel 9 but I also know he's a big football man (soccer, whatever) and the various other times they have had people like Viduka and Kewell on the show he hasn't acted like a fuckwit. On another note I have noticed Gary Lyon has begun to change his tune about soccer in a few articles he has written ever since he has returned from Germany. He is now fasinated by the atmosphere generated by football and reckons both football and AFL can co-exist. It might be him trying to act like a cool cunt about it but if he's genuine then good on him, it's good to see him act differently than most AFL meatheads.

No shit. I am well aware of Sheedy saying crap at press conference to hide the fact that they are shit. He is the master of deflection. Essendon gets pumped by 80 points and he has to do is crap on about how Paul Vanderhaar kicked 10 goals back in 1985 and the media lets him off the hook.

But the most recent time he has bagged soccer was during the irish/aussie series last year when he was the coach. His hatred agasnt soccer this time dosnt have anything to do with Essendons shitness.

Sometimes bandwaggoners go on to become long time fans. Exuse my ignorance but I have never meet or heard someone who has said "ooo ump give the bloke a 50" so I cannot comment on this as I guess we have a communication gap

Yeah but It wasnt the panel of the footy show fault to go to germany and talk about soccer. I mean they where being offered money and a free trip to Germany for a once in a life time trip. I dont think any sane person would refuse that offer wheither he hates soccer or not.

And Gary Lyon is a champ. He used to be a hawthorn supporter before he got drafted. You wouldnt expect anything less from a Hawk man

LMAO @ Garry Lyon being a hawks man.

The only reason why he woulda barracked for them as a kid woulda been coz daddy played about 10 games for them. If you cunts had have let him play another 2 seasons then you mighta actually had a champion who wasn't a tool off the field. The Germ & Piggy Dunstall are a disgrace to TV/radio. & I love it how once we're done with a tard you guys put him on the coaching panel . Clarkson was a dud footballer and about as good as coach.

Also, your colours represent piss & shit.

Nah you see it everywhere. I'm surprised you don't hear it much from the area you come from but yeah here I heard it heaps in the qualifiers against Uruguay in 2001 and 2005 and the Greece game last month. And that was at the game! Heard it and thousands of other AFL references at the Croatia game when I watched it at Fed Square (didn't wanna go there but my mate begged me to tag along). It's pretty shocking and pathetic.

If I was from England but had watched AFL (lol) and got offered the opportunity to come out here for when the AFL finals were on, of course I wouldn't reject it. But I wouldn't come here and harp on with soccer propaganda

Massive ROFL

I am of course like every other sports fan. I dont like it when opposition suppporters give my team shit and usaully I dont get too angry when they do it (except sometimes for Geelong and Essendon fans) but I do get angry when Melbourne supporters try and give us Hawks shit (I say try because usally they have shitty points like you have just pointed out). Why you may ask why I get angry at Melbourne Supporters.


Its because Melbourne have been the only club in Australian professional sport history (and may as well the world for all I know) to have been weak, idiotic and soft enough to VOTE THEIR OWN CLUB OUT OF EXISTENCE. Yes Melbourne are that soft. And don’t bitch about money troubles or whatever because Hawthorn and clubs like Fitzroy had it way worse and even then their supporters didn’t give up on their original club.And yes I know it was called the Melbourne Hawks but it was still not your original club.

Not that NFL football isn't good, but it's so hyped that a person cannot consider it the most overated sport.

A majority of the Melbourne members didn't even get to vote on that fateful night, as they were locked out of the venue. It's a true story and if you don't believe me then read Joe Gutnick's book.

The only people who voted for the merger were Ian Ridley & all his cronies - if the members really believed that they wanted to merge then they wouldn't have kicked his arse out the door - and those who knew that it would have been a take over anyways. It would have been MFC + Dunstall & Crawford and we would have kept 95% of the jumper.

It wasnt just Ian Ridley and his cronies I have seen the numbers and the votes for pro merger where into thier thousands as where the anti-merger. It included a large number of the members. I can understand that a MINORITY may have been locked out but the sheer numbers involved in the vote suggested a large number.

And yeah the merger would have been more melbourne based than Hawthorn The jumper was preety much MFC but the base of the club was going to Glenfeirre (oh yeah does the demons have a training ground yet) and the team was going to be 50/50 not just crawf and Dunstall as both teams where as bad as each other back then (if I remember correctilly I think the demons finished last that year and hawthorn 12th or 13th). And it dosnt matter if it was a takeover or not mfc supporters are still and always will be piss weak soft cocks who will fuck off to the snow when the going gets tough. Even your beloved Gary Lyon said this last year (although not in those words)

The amount of people locked out were in the thousands. Given that it was about 53% who voted in favour of the merger then I'm sure that it would have made a difference.

Melbourne has training facilities at the Lexus Centre, as well as the Ground down at Sandy.

Hawthorn supporters have been much softer than Melbourne supporters in the past. Didn't you guys get about 9,000 to a game against Freo (or it mighta been Port) at the MCG a few years ago? Your team also sells more home games than us per year. Although I didn't hear Lyon's comments last year, they may have been toungue in cheek as we were actually able to score sponsorship off Bula last year for the start of the snow season.

I doubt that but even if that true you still have a shitload of supporters that wanted you to merge.

Before this year you had to change grounds every few months because you could get a lease on anything. Dosnt Collingwood own the Lexus Centre.
You might not think its a big deal but it is. It means despite being the oldest afl club you have no culture. You are like the freo of Melbourne clubs.

It was something like 15,000 to 18,000 (aganst port btw). Fair enough too the hawthorn supporters and members (me included ) where fed up with the direction the club was going. We where bottom on the ladder after being talked up as flag favorites, Schwab was still coach at that stage, they where playing the same shit players and the same game plan. We where sending a message to the adminstration that we where not happy by the only way that would hurt though money.

Lyon has always been critcal of mfc supporters (if you can call them supporters). He has writen constant articles about this, he even said that when he was playing for the demons him and the players didnt think they had the total support of the fans.

And I dont think a melbourne supporter should call another clubs supporters soft. Melbourne is well known for having the softest supporters in the league
