ripstanley Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Cheers Chook, I can see why you're a cranky old bastard now, you'd need to be 70 to remember a Saint's flag wouldn't you? Any room here for a South Aussie who's team has actually won a flag this century? Good to see another from the Chiang Rai forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Lance Franklin draws huge crowd to intra-club match with Sydney Swans If Lance Franklin expected that moving to Sydney would allow him peace and space compared with the suffocating world of football-mad Melbourne, he was given a reminder that, on the field at least, he is going to draw a huge amount of attention in his adopted city. Rusted-on Swans fans might wish it was the club's array of stars that drew several-hundred - some were saying more than 2000 - people to the team's intra-club hitout at Lakeside Oval on Wednesday evening. If it were Collingwood, Geelong or even Franklin's old club Hawthorn, a crowd at, effectively, a training session would be par for the course. But at the Swans? They'd never seen anything like this.

Will27 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Chooka and fellow gangsters I think the time has come to split the forum. With 12 teams in the dream team, there will be quite a lot of postings one would assume. I also think it will be easier to separate the two before the season starts proper. I hope I'm not urinating on anyone's parade, but I just think having a separate forum for the DT is the most logical way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm not urinating on anyone's parade, but I just think having a separate forum for the DT is the most logical way to go. There is a private chat area on the actual dreamteam site we can discuss the dreamteam when the season kicks off. We will keep it separate then. The reason I have been posting the lists of participants on here is that it has attracted more people to the forum itself. How many did we have last year, 7? We have almost doubled now even before the season proper has started. Yes I fully understand what you are saying and agree, when the season proper kicks off we keep this forum for the season and tipping as last year and dreamteam chat on the afl site. I also have no problem making a specific dreamtean forum if people want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xangsamhua Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) You were still the team of the decade, you were just outplayed and out generalled that day. It was the way they lost, went the biff, etc. that was embarrassing. Champion teams just shouldn't fall apart that way. I was in BKK at the time, but friends who watched it in Brisbane at the public screening said that the people felt embarrassed. Still, it's 10 years ago now. (10 years already!!)

Xangsamhua Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Watching the Hawthorn/Brisbane game. How can Brisbane be so pathetic, only scoring 9 points at 3/4 time 20 goals behind. Leppitsch fielded 9 first-gamers, 6 of them draftees and 3 second-year players, against last year's premiers. Only 5 players in the squad had played more than 50 games. Just a chance to blood the new and younger guys. Must have been a shock for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in BKK at the time, but friends who watched it in Brisbane at the public screening said that the people felt embarrassed. Still, it's 10 years ago now. (10 years already!!) My take on the game is different to yours. A lot of people forget that Port finished on top in 2002, 2003 and 2004 so were obviously a terrific team. Brisbane were a team of aging champions. To make it even worse, despite finishing 2nd, Brisbane had to travel to Melbourne to play Geelong in the preliminary final despite finishing higher. The AFL had a deal that 1 preliminary final had to be played at the MCG. There was a feeling that not enough was done by the AFL to rectify this (us non-Victorian followers can identify with this). The AFL changed it the following year but there was a general feeling that the AFL wanted the Port to win their first grand final. As far as biff, I clearly remember Josh Carr starting a lot of the blues and in a lot of cases, Brisbane were retaliating. If I were a Brisbane supporter, embarrassed isn't a word I'd use. Something like proud would be more apt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
