Rare MicCanberra Posted September 13, 2017 #451 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I am watching the Soccer (real football) replay from this morning and I prefer playing and watching this most of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted September 13, 2017 #452 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Sydney born and bred but moved to SA and got an appreciation for Aussie rules. One thing that really bugs me is this gang tackling crap, why can't it be two in a tackle maximum. Why not two in a tackle??? Because there are some blokes two just can't stop, AND stop them getting the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ozdevil Posted September 13, 2017 #453 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I am watching the Soccer (real football) replay from this morning and I prefer playing and watching this most of all. its a game that always ends up in a draw , the buggas dont even know how to pick up the ball and kick it (except the goalie of course) and what makes things worse they also like to head butt the ball , has to be stupid when no other sport goes out and head butts a ball 2-0 in a soccor game will be like a thrashing but i spose there is some good skills in this sport as well like every team could finish with a nil all draw all season how do they determine the premership out of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would open up the game and make it much less of a slog and more of a running game. I remember when you could tell the difference between the wingers, the halves and the forwards just by the body shapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushka Posted September 14, 2017 #457 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Still overcast and rainy in Adelaide. I did warn you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ozdevil Posted September 14, 2017 #458 Share Posted September 14, 2017 looking at the current rader from weatherzone the rain is very light coming from Ballarat area and then starting to push north of the state , heading around to Wallan ... as it looks currently the rain is missing CBD of Melbourne and dare i say it the ground will be dry... there is some Rain clouds but is very patchy rain happening currently around the boarder of Vic and South Australia in the south west pushing north westly through Portland, and Hamilton , my prediction for this rain will only get as close to Ballarat in which should bypass the Melbourne CBD late this afternoon it is overcast with very little Wind as i type this I will try and give another update early afternoon if the raders have updated as it is at the moment The game will be dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted September 14, 2017 Author #459 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Much rather a good game of Thrugby (either code) myself. Tried to get nowhiners to see one but they went APP instead Wasn't rugby done (or maybe about to start?) when we were there (mid-March through mid-April)? I initially wanted to watch rugby but I think everyone told me the timing was off, so suggested AFL. It seems to me there were no rugby matches we could see. But maybe I have it wrong, I often do :D 10 1/2 hours to the big game (I think). Go Swans! ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML Yeah, the proper rugby season hadn't started yet and the A League (soccer) was into finals so much fewer games. League were all out at suburban games so AFL was best fit with your times and in my opinion a more exciting game to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML Yep League was just starting but I think all games were out of town when you were here, so Aussie rules won. All are great games but when I was growing up rules was only really played in a couple of states as was league, and I grew up in a league state. Up thread you mentioned a drink if you ever get back here. Make sure you let us know if you ever plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum52 Posted September 15, 2017 #469 Share Posted September 15, 2017 More rain. Thunder. Pouring in Carrum at moment. Sadly I won't be making the train trip into the G later as planned, as I have come home from work early with an extremely sore throat and cough. Woke with a headache which isn't too bad now but the throat is burning. quite weekend for me. My seat won't be wasted as my son in law is now able to use it.

Docker123 Posted September 15, 2017 #473 Share Posted September 15, 2017 15mm so far, but easing off. Just had another heavy shower here -- Williamstown is WSW of the city CBD and the normal direction of rain fronts. Big dump in 30 mins from the thunderstorm. Temperature dropped 5 degrees then as well. Presently around 12c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
