Afl

[Jules]

my thoughts are: if you want to lobby for an AFL team, go to an AFL site. I'd rather concentrate on bagging out the jets.

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 last 9 seasons. Then it dawned on me. The one thing that I've mocked rugby league and AFL for, the fact that it is not played in many countries, is actually an advantage. They can train a player knowing full well that he can't up an leave for more money overseas. They don't have to worry about a Andrew Hoole making unrealistic demands with threats to go to China. A global marketplace is actually a major disadvantage for a sport.

The promise of transfer fees in the A-League was just a pipe-dream.

I always thought that the A-League was the best alternative to thugby league culture, but now it seems like AFL might be the only way forward for our city.

This just shows me you have NFI about football.

Your plastic attitude is noted
.

Go over and enjoy jumping on the bandwagon of some Tardball team

Let us know when your new game has a presence outside of this country.

The reason no one on the planet has adopted this game is because it is shit.

A point for missing FMD

Noone has adopted NFL so it must be shit. Noone has adopted baseball so it must be shit. Is that the idea?

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 sponsorship or corporate support, the Squadron is dead and ncl will probably be a mess. Good players just leave to play in better leagues, without us getting decent transfer fees. The club can't even translate the massive football community into spectators. Even if you ignore the inept administration of the club, what am I missing about football that convinces you that the Jets have a rosy future?

Since I have NFI, I assume you have all the answers.

Yes firstly I do have ALL the answers

Secondly you still have NFI about supporting a football club.
It ain't about winning it ain't about losing

You just don't get IT

There is an IT that has just sailed straight over your plastic Fairweathered head

Could not give a **** how disorganised the Jets are
Could not give a **** how uneven the comp is

I still be there living the dream

Whilst you can go off chasing your glory completely clueless to anything

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, which is why I raised this topic in a football forum. You get much better information debating people than talking to people who agree with you.

Supporting a club and football

As I said you have no idea.

I still stand by that and I will call you on it.

You like to argue so you say......


Ok then

You want to actually discuss something other than your plastic view on football and your love in with a game of aerial ping pong for bogans??

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 badly the club or league is run.

You are 40 years too late for AFL. The game is structured within an inch of its life these days to the point whereby it's just dead ****ing boring to watch.
And players can up and leave AFL and they do to become NFL punters. Sure not a lot of opportunities but they do exist - and it's lucrative for those that make the grade.
AFL Players can also make decent Corner Backs as well and if they happen to have a little speed it's also possible they can become receivers [though unlikely given the speed requirements]

And the players these days are shit - no personality and boring as bat shit.

Afl has just reinvented itself again this year. Formations and slight rule changes. All prof sports are highly engineered & in all facets.

Not sure how peeps see Afl as boring but each to own. I dont mind watching a bit of afl carn Carlton but I dont want to it overtake football here. All sports* for all but maybe football to somehow be the No1...#pipedream.


*cept 1, that one supports assholes of the world
