Unless it’s a match I can watch while sitting on the bonnet of a car that’s been driven right up to the boundary line, I’m not interested in it.

I don’t watch a lot of FTA these days…

The AFL is working hard to make the game of Australian football irrelevant. Stupid rule changes every year, more umpires on the ground than you can poke a stick at, a sanitized salary cap, control of players unlike any other sport and a denial that AFL players even have sex. Now, real football the one played with a round ball makes a lot more sense…..Needless to say I gave up on AFL years ago…Its dull!

That would be “patronising”, not patronosimg !

Spot on Dave. The over-long introduction was a source of great conflict in our household.

Leanne, who thinks anything & everything indigenous is to be revered and placed higher than the holy grail itself (i.e. AFL footy) thought it was o-so-wonderful that we were adopting aboriginal culture as our own. I, on the other hand, said I don’t think we need to “adopt it”, just recognise & acknowledge it. That, however, does not extend to dragging out the start of what (in reality) was just another home & away game.

Also, as I’ve said at my site, it’s more than a little patronosimg (in my opinion) to only recognise the magnificent contribution of indigenous players in one game, Essendon v Richmond, just because their combined colours are the same as the aboriginal flag.

Let’s pay tribute to them properly and select an indigenous team to play against a non-indigenous one in the mid-season break. I’ll back the blacks to win it.

Yeah, Bron, and then it turns out to be only about TV footy coverage. Talk about crying wolf!

Well she ran across the road and covered half a block before I could catch her, followed by a refusal to get in the car and a general tantrum, but that’s pretty much a regular outing.

When I saw the title of this post, I thought Troll Princess must have done something reeeeeally bad. Badder than locking you out of your house.

Mac (QuickTime) option is on RHS. It installs a link icon on your desktop.

They’ve just been waved off for another orbit so there’s plenty of time. 90 minutes
