    Yes, they need to be on any list. A plastic creation. A pox on the game.

    Though their 2019 GF performance was the comedy highlight of the decade. I’ll grant them that. I’ve never laughed so hard, both at them, and all the bandwagon wankers who jumped on board for the week. They should all have been forced to watch a replay, matchsticks in the eyelids, Clockwork Orange style.

    P.S: I’m on the wines, but would post that sober, stoned, hallucinating, drunk, you name it.
    See I have a grudging respect for GW$, particularly when compared to the debacle at the other expansion club. i think they stand for something. Shame about the coach really. And Cogs - after watching the Netflix doco.

      But of course, I'm also late to the game, so perhaps the born and bred supporters from the game's heartland, feel the rivalries more intensely than I do.

But at the ground or going to and from the ground, I will happily chat away to any opposition fans, if they happen to be sitting next to me. I just tend to think: same religion, slightly different interpretation.
        Possibly not a great analogy?

        When you say that you were originally soccer and came late to AFL, does that mean that you're from Britain? Because I have the belief, that the physical separation of fans at British soccer grounds, would only exacerbate the rivalry, into something beyond friendly.
        Yes, England, but rarely went to games as there was no local first division | premiership team. Plus for a while there (a couple of decades) it got really dangerous and unpleasant. The separation of the fans was to stop them killing each other. It still amazes me how AFL and NRL fans mingle happily without significant issues.

          Are you guys happy to sign off on this statement.

          If we don’t win the cup, it has to be the Demons?

          Ps - Scotches are going well.

              Yes, but I would argue (without much knowledge of English football and social history) that the caging off of fans, to keep them away from each other, would do two main things. It would reinforce the concept that those people are your enemy and that you have such limited self control, that you need to be kept away from them. But now that the football has started, it's probably not the time for a sociological discourse.

              First goal Motlop. Go Port.

                #freekickcats tonight. Some silly decisions by the umps. I hope Port get up.

                    Allir is having a blinder. Go port.
                    Best result for us is a port win

                      Great to see Allir performing to his potential.

                      Swans love him.

                        Yes, a few Swans fans might be missing Aliir. Perhaps less so for Rohan?

                        Yes, their scores have largely been umpire gifts.

                          Good on Allir, absolutely killing those sooky diving Cats

                            I was just thinking that there is only given this final's series. As much as I liked him when he was playing for us, that Rohan would go missing. So far, he's not disappointing with his all too familiar lack of disposals.

                            Allir on the other hand ...

                              Gary Rohan keeping his finals form line consistent

                                Allir. A footballer playing with absolutely confidence. Beautiful to see.
