writeoff Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The AFL starts again tonight and I know there are some posters on here that like their Aussie Rules (and some posters who don't). I thought we may as well have another thread about it as I'm sure the rivalry will begin again between supporter groups. Anyone entered the AFL, Sportsbet or Herald Sun free tipping competitions? Do you have a league? Anyone interested in participating in a SAU one? Anyone entered a Dream Team or Super Coach squad? Again these are free competitions with A new Toyota FJ Cruiser as 1st prize for Dream Team and $50,000 1st prize for Super Coach. I'm going to the Crows v Hawks on Saturday night. Should be a good game although I'm not confident that the Crows will win. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358586-afl-2011/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatsisname Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'll be there on Saturday night, with our regular crew in the members. I've tipped us but not with a huge amount of confidence . Hodge is carrying that achilles injury so that could play into our hands. We need to match them in the middle and contain Buddy. Davis, assuming he gets the job, could be in for a big night! As for Port, a flogging could be on the cards. Pies in fine form, at home, Port missing some quality.

SLED Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 What an awesome 1st game for Chris Scott.............wins just before last drinks by a single point with only 19sec to go Need alot more finishes like this, this year.

whatsisname Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Nail biting final quarter for supporters of both sides, but man was it a scrappy game! Ugly footy. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358586-afl-2011/#findComment-5731175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsisname Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well, I'm 4 from 5 so far, bloody Cats ruined any chance of 8. Seems I was right with the Port game, not that it was hard to predict. Not good to see Schultz do his knee, how bad is it, I've not heard? ACL? Davis needed a solid performance and he delivered! Buddy kicked 2 6, I remember him kicking 1 6 against Bock and they raved about Bocky shutting him down. What Davis lacks in pace he makes up for in every other area. Tambling, I wasn't sold on him until tonight, watching him from the sidelines I'm now a believer! We were sitting right in front of where he hit Roughy... awesome stuff! And his fluke soccer to hit a Target, freakish. It's only round one and we got more than a fair run with the ump's for a change, but I like what I'm seeing. Porps shoulder was the lowlight.

SLED Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 LOL, I was expecting to be flogged but hoped we'd only get done by a couple!! Who could've predicted an 11 goal turn-around?? We gave them a full quarter head start then brought out the baseball bats and mugged them Port = 17 Crows = 13 Shame they'll finish above us on the ladder but nothing more satisfying than a Showdown XXX win Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358586-afl-2011/#findComment-5765194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

writeoff Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm still in pain from that game tonight. The worst part is that Port usually suck before & after a Showdown but they always seen to get up and beat the Crows.

SLED Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 True Dave.....if only we could bottle whatever they're on whenever they face the Crows then give them a drink of that stuff at the start of every other game, we'd be on our way to another flag That aint gonna happen anytime soon me thinks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358586-afl-2011/#findComment-5765828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLED Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I like your theory but the boys looked pretty spent after that Showdown and history has proven that those games take so much out of you for the following week. With our form leading up to the Showdown, I'm thinking GCS may have notched up next weeks game a very possible win Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358586-afl-2011/#findComment-5767754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciano Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Port should hammer them. Along with what you say though Pete, it'd definitely help having a stack of players who missed the showdown to get a run this weekend. having a bit of a read though the shit storm of comments on a news.com.au article about Neil Craig, and supporters having a go at him for his coaching etc. One loss and he gets hammered with heavy criticism all over the place... Not slagging off any AFC supporters on the forum here; a usual Monday after a crows loss, it's always Craigy or the umpires copping a rubbishing by the supporters in my office. How about some of their useless muppet out of form players? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358586-afl-2011/#findComment-5768006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
