Australian Football Stuff - not worthy of a thread

That’s what heard last time

It's never had anywhere near this level of momentum before.

When was last time? Last time the AFL expanded, Tassie weren’t even in the picture. It was about getting the AFL on the Gold Coast.

There has never been a realistic expansion push based around Tassie until now.

Tas government chucking then over $200,m helps.
Awful collection of racist bogans playing the dumbest game ever invented to keep cricketers fit.

Im all for Canberra Cosmos and Wollo Wolves making a come back , hell even put in the Tassie Convicts...and as much as i sorta like Nux, that idea already went bust once (NZ Knights anybody) so a second Nu Zulland team is just ridiculous , they shouldnt even be playing in the cup FFS , they aint even in the same zone as the socceroos AND its a rugby Union nation

Decent thread about how another club is dealing with the Sydney issue (and how lucky we are to have Shaun and the Coast Football Ramble lads):

I'm posting here because I feel like being outraged at something. I'm seeing reports of games being postponed or canned days out due to a weather forecast?? What's with that?

Earlier this year we had flooding rains and Bathurst was predicted to be the worst weather in however many years. There were people going why are they still planning on having bathurst when it's going to be so wet they need to race boats etc etc. Call it off!! Then what happened?? It didn't rain. The only water on the track was from a burst water main.

Just saying, at least have a go and see before making these decisions so far out based on what the bureau of maybeology says.

I was just watching a veritable shit ton of Eric Cantona (OOH AHH) pelanty shots , as is my red devil want, and the one thing I noticed during the whole show, NOT ONCE did the ref walk up to the keeper and tell him where to stand …so , are our refs just sanctimonious arsehats validating their feeble position as talented at their job or has there been a rule change

Interesting article on Patrick Kisnorbo's new Ligue 1 team:

Looks like Roy, McBreen, Regan and a keeper have set up an academy in Newcastle for players who aren’t in the A League academies by the look of instagram

Headline a bit click baity but his comments are fair - there's a couple of avenues so if you have feedback give it appropriately. Even if its just doubling down on your press conference I guess thats fine but dont complain to the media then keep quiet to FA.
