MB.C AFL/FOOTY TIPPING THREAD

I dont know where Feigs got the Supersonics. I lived in Portland for a spell, so was a Trailblazers supporter for a while. But I was season ticket holder for the Warriors for 2 years. Still my team. Bay Area all the way; East Bay, actually.

Football - Raiders
Baseball - A's
Basketball - Warriors
Hockey - Sharks
Arena Football - Sabrecats

Arena football....WTF?
Who was your favourite wrestler?

Arena Football is the bomb. Look it up on Google or sumthin. Gridiron played by all the small, fast guys. It's like what the NFL would be like if it was stocked by AFL players. All fast as; they play offense and defense and lay mean hits. Entertaining to watch. We used to get trashed and watch our best player Titus Dixon scored 5 touchdowns in a half. It was played on a 50 yard field and the boundary lines were like Hockey (NHL). Dudes would get laid out into the stands. DOPE!!!

Jarrod McVeigh said the same thing on Sunrise this morning Feigs... they had their measure last time they played... I reckon the Hawks will win though.

Felt this needed to be saved for looking back sometime.

It should read like this:

Feigan wrote:I actually think that the Saints will win this weekend. I only think this because the Seppo supports the Hawks. I, on the other hand, support a team that missed the finals this year. This same team also has a forward who finished the season on 99 goals and will most likely be remembered for 2008 as the bloke who flashed a dildo on unsuspecting commuters at Federation Square on Mad Monday. Therefore, I am a bitter, bitter AFL Fan.

sorry Hawks fans.

It's on this weekend, dude. Can you organize some bball?

Hawks stomped the Saints on the weekend, bad luck Mel.

I'm happy to see the Hawks in the GF, I tipped it at the start of the year - and I believe they'll offer the best competition to the reigning premiers. Although I still think Geelong are head and shoulders above EVERYONE else.

It will be the battle of the midfields. Looking forward to it!

they only beat Hawthorn by 11 points and Buddy kicked SIX points and maybe 2 goals

I'm no footy expert, but that doesn't sound much like head & shoulders above to me?

they were two or three key players down, so everyone reckons that played into that game. Dunno, we could have played a bit better that night. I reckon Geelong are still head and shoulders above everyone, but i reckon Hawks are creeping up.

anyways, i would LOVE the Hawks to win, but quite frankly i am just happy they got up there. And that Clarkson came through on his word about 4 years ago saying that he would get the Hawks up for priemership (in 4 years too i think he said). Nice work Clarkson!

So excited!

Would love to come over Al, but already organising a GF day at my place.

It is going to be a long week, i think.

I am so pumped, Dad and i are getting down to the G at 4am to get good seats.

Fuck it is going to be a big game!

Go Cats!
