AFL 360 - Grand Final 2012 Montage - YouTube

Still great to watchComment

The Thing that amazes me , which job can you be criticised for doing a sub standard job and then later on be rewarded in a field where there are many quality candidates? Meredith is doing tonight's and Stevic's tomorrow. I am willing to bet within a probability of 99%,they will both be on the field come grand final day.Comment

A Collingwood supporter is bagging me out today because I'm not travelling to Melbourne to watch tonight.
Reckons I'm not a real fan.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
At least we're playing, mate.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

Yes, recall can be problematic for all of us: a lot more than most people think. I'm having a similar problem at the moment, as my recall is that there was a Fox article, that said that the AFL were intending to make an announcement about the GF umpiring. However, the only Fox article that I can find on the subject, is the one linked to by annew, which makes no mention of an announcement. So maybe my recall is wrong? Maybe I just can't find it? Or it is possible that the article has been amended, but there's no statement saying that's been done, and usually, reputable news organisations do include a statement if they change an article at a later date. Of course, I'm not really sure if Fox counts as a reputable news organisation?
And I suppose that there's a small possibility that the article was a result of an AFL leak. But there's also a possibility that the story was a result of an idle rumour, or it could be a case of a journalist just making crap up. Since I have no way of knowing if any of those possibilities are true, I don't plan to waste any more neural energy on the matter.
Though what has always bugged me on the issue of the GF umpiring, was the almost total lack of interest by all the sports journalists and all the talking heads involved with AFL. You'd think that with one story saying that the AFL had determined that there were a number poor decisions in the GF, then at least a few would want to ask the AFL administration about it? Or if there had been episodes of Whistleblowers for every week of the season, that examined controversial umpiring decisions, but for some reason, there was no episode for the most important game of all, then you'd think that someone in the AFL media industry, would say to themselves, "well, that's a bit odd, maybe I should investigate that". But no, nothing. What, did they all think, "great, the season's over, see ya next year"? To me, that total lack of curiosity, leaves me scratching my head.Comment

With our boys unexpectantly gone ... sorry ... I'm cheering for Richmond.
In fact I'm going to the prelim to cheer them on with Tiger fan Bruv.Comment

GWS for me.
Hoping for Giants Crows GFThe difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

I hope the Tigers get smashed by GWS so Melbourne has to talk football instead of "Tiger Time". Then I hope the Crows come through and beat them in the Grand Final. I'm tired of fairytales and I'm tired of the commentariat barracking for the home, i.e. Victorian, team.Comment

I'm simply not interested in the rest of the season. Usually I will have a team to back, but this time...well.... GWS- ewwwww, Richmond- UGH, Adelaide- ICK, I like Geelong, but cant see them beating Adelaide...
As for GWS, a friend, who is a Swans supporter and part time GWS fan decided that he no longer wanted to follow GWS because he didn't like the way they played. He is a family man and used to take the kids out to Spotless, but he now says he finds their 'cheating tactics' and 'rough play' a turn off...
I just thought that was interesting...Comment

Hope the Crows get through and win. They have been the best team all year and may have to play on a Victorian team's home ground despite finishing top, like Freo, Eagles and Swans before them. A Crows v GWS game would be fairer being on a neutral venue; a situation that should be normal state of affairs for a national competition( or on highest ranking team's home ground).Comment

I agree, the Crows have been the most consistent team all year and they have been competitive for a while now without anything to show for it.
GWS and Richmond lack the finals experience, one of them will give a good game in the GF but they aren't good enough yet to win it. Fairytales be damned. Let the best side EARN it for a change.
Geelong are inconsistent and they will not be good enough to beat Adelaide. They got smashed by Richmond, and Adelaide will bring similar pressure."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
