The Jacko interview you posted was interesting and very amusing. I forgot how insane that guy is.
You can make that same argument about any professional sport. Rugby League is in the same boat,...
Have you seen the other threads in Sports Bar?? They are about sports other than football and in a lot of cases people have positive and interesting opinions about them. Don't worry about where else...
I contacted the AFL to see what plans they had to expand into our region. The answer was that they are definitely interested long term, but for the time being our area "belongs" to the Sydney Swans...
No, all of my "tangents" relate to the two points you chose to pick up on: Communicating with the "locals" about Tardball, and Nationalism. I'm not going off topic.
Good, you're actually making some solid points now MFKS, well done.
I've already told you in this thread. I worked with a lot of English people in Sydney and they loved AFL. They much...
No, I'm not jumping ship simply because they've had a few bad years. I'm jumping ship because the entire premise under which the A-League was set up, that it was going to become a mainstream sport,...
Look, I like football. I just find these arguments a bit schizophrenic.
People argue that football is the World Game, and being part of something bigger is part of the attraction, yet AFL is the...
No, I'm not passionate about football, obviously. It's just a sport and I enjoyed it and the community atmosphere, but the community atmosphere around the Jets is toxic. After all this shit I would...
I can't argue with that, but I think you'll see memberships fall below 5,000 next year. And many, many people who are turning away aren't likely to come back unless the club becomes very successful...
That's my point though. I want a club that I'm not disappointed by. Knights are shit and I hate thugby culture. Not all rugby league fans are, but every low life in my area is a rugby league fan. I'm...
It's not spam. I used to be a regular poster but I don't want to use that username anymore because I'm ditching the Jets and I don't want the baggage of people knowing who I am carry over into this...
I think it is also it's weakness. Like I said above, I was all caught up in the Johnny Warren mission to say "I told you so" but the corruption at FIFA put a permanent stain on that. What is the...
But the point is that you would never want it to expand beyond Australia. My experience following the Jets has made me see how low in the pecking order we are. We fail to attract real stars (the MLS...
Not really, and not with you. You haven't said anything of value yet and seem to know all about me from my 6 posts. Maybe if you actually said something other than that you don't give a shit how...
Oh, okay, you meant I had NFI about supporting a club, not that I had NFI about football.
I really don't care about your opinion of whether I'm a proper supporter or not. But I do like to argue,...
So tell me, what is going to help the Jets out of the position they are in? The league is becoming very uneven, the club has a new owner but he appears reluctant to splash any cash. We still have no...
Noone has adopted NFL so it must be shit. Noone has adopted baseball so it must be shit. Is that the idea?
AFL is clearly national now. I lived in Sydney during the 1990s when Sydney Swans were huge. English friends of mine fell in love with the game. I mostly played soccer in my youth but played a few...
And watching the Jets play compares favourably with this?
As a goalkeeper, I thought you'd have a greater appreciation for AFL.
Fair enough, but as a (former) Jets fan, I thought there might be some opinions at least. I simply can't see a future for the Jets. As a fan, I've been beating my head against a brick wall for the...
Hi all,
Just interested in opinions.
IMO this year has been the worst year for the Jets and it is at crisis point. It has made me ponder why I actually threw so much passion into football in...
