I get to watch AFL games live on FS2. They usually come on at 1am est. I've only watched on and off over the years so I really don't know the teams or the big rivalries. Any of you blokes have advice on where I can read a bit of history so to speak? (Last decade or so) I have the AFL website saved to see upcoming matches etc.
Hawthorn vs Gold Coast is on now. [popcorn]
First thing is to follow Hawthorn ;).
GK will have a good link for you I'm sure.

Bulldogs/Swans getting ready to play. [popcorn]
Bulldogs 13.5. 83 Swans 11.13. 79
That was an awesome game [clap]
Didn't see the game... result suggests the Swans suffered from inaccurate kicking.
Gotta like the Doggies [thumbsup]
NRL game tonight/ this morning technically.
Rabbitohs vs Cowboys
The announcer just made reference to the Bronx Cheer. [clap] A lot of people in the States don't even know that reference. ;)
Don't follow those St Kilda hipsters, follow the hard team Hawthorn who are in recent times are dubbed "the unsociable Hawks". In the past they were called "Kenndy's commandos".
GWS vs Collingwood is on tonight.
Everyone who isn't a Collingwood supporter will barrack for GWS ;).

Kopf, there's a long standing joke/slur/belief that you have to be missing quite a number of teeth to be a Collingwood supporter!
A lot of their supporters tend to be somewhat down and outers. That appears true for each club's supporter base, but strangely moreso for Collingwood.
Right Ung?
Oh, I'm following a long. We use that reference here as well for similar things. ;) They should have a lot to barrack about after that win the other night.
Cloke has been very out of form and commentators here have been suggesting he'll be moved on at season's end.
If he has s few more games like yesterday before the end of the season, I suspect he'll still be required at Collingwood next year!

Yes. I've figured out 'most' of the penalty calls, as well as really good plays etc.. Seems to be some gray areas from time to time. I need to sit through a game with someone that knows as much as I do about the NFL. The Swans dominated their game last night, it didn't finish till 0300 here.
Swans are a very good team. When they're on song, they are tough to beat, especially on their home ground in Sydney.
At Melbourne, on the MCG, they don't fare as well.
Sydney and Hawthorn (my team) have quite a rivalry.
With the gray areas. Yes, there are many and are quite frustrating. The rules often appear to be reinterpreted as the season goes on, and the Friday game is usually closely watched to see what rules are tightened up on for that round. Strange really.
If you ever come down under koko64 and I would be on a long list who'd be happy to sit through a few games with you.
I'd personally get you to my range also. That would be some great fun and learning right there! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»

Final
Geelong 10.22.82
Richmond 12.6.78
That score line was totally unexpected!
Richmond should have been thrashed!
Richmond clearly came out to play today!
I would have loved Geelong to have been rolled by Richmond! Lol!

He's the dude with the most games played. Over 430 now. He's negotiating another year. He's good enough to get it too.
I agree that North should have won it.
Hawks started this round atop the ladder.
Finished the round... 4th.
We will most likely lose the opportunity to play a home final now, which is a tremendous advantage gone begging. Only top two get a home final.
That's footy for you! Lol!
How many more months is left in the season?
Home and away season is complete.
It's finals now. Top four teams get a second chance, for every other team, a loss in the finals is sudden death.
Explained below.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL_finals_system
5 weeks left. There's a week rest(new for 2016), then four weeks of finals.
Hey Kopf. Womens footy is on!
I doubt they'll be showing that internationally, but hey, you never know.
Was a good game. [thumbsup]
I didn't have any games on cable the past few nights. I paid for a streaming service through the AFL, but it'll show a game start time then it doesn't play at the scheduled time, just highlights the next day. Ill shoot them an email and try and figure out the issue.
Just watched the highlights from the ladies game. Looks like it was good stuff.

The women's game was good! Lots of basic skill errors but hey, they're just getting started. It'll just get better and better.
They went in hard for the footy though which is what it's all about. They only had 16 per team in the ground, as opposed to the usual 18. It's said that this will make their game more free flowing. They also used a slightly smaller ball, allowing for the smaller hand size of women. ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Finals start this weekend. It's playing for sheep stations now!
Everything goes up a notch!
Hawthorn V's Geelong tonight!
Game starts in less than an hour.
I fear my beloved Hawks will be defeated for the second time this season at the hands of the Cats!
In three and a half hours, I'll know for sure! 😨
Half time. Game close.
Great game.
It didn't start till 04 this morning, so I missed it. Sounds like it was a good one.

Still in.
It is more convoluted than that.
Top 4 get 2 chances. Cats now get a week off.
Hawks play the winner of one of the 2 elimination finals.

GWS were amazing and made Sydney look tired!
Eddie almost dismantled North Melbourne solo! An extraordinary feat! Just brilliant!
Hawthorn Hawks V's Western Bulldogs on Friday night. Carn the Hawks!

Bob Dylan was 19 when the Bulldogs last made a prelim final. Who can begrudge 'em? Go Doggies, go [thumbsup]
Well they were the more deserving team tonight. They'll need to play even better next week to beat GWS Giants.
I can't complain. We've had a great run, the last three premierships in a row have been incredible!
We'll rest, regroup and have another crack at it next season.

Watching my first game of the 17 season tonight. Melbourne/Fremantle
The season is back in full swing!
Lots of close games decided by less than 20 points and also a good number of teams being belted by the other.
Melbourne V Freemantle was a very close one.
Well...
My team have entrenched themselves on the bottom of the ladder.
They are 0-4 which is their worst start to a season since 2005!
Well, the brilliant threepeat of 2013 - 2015 were glorious years.
Most footy fans can only dream of seeing that! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
If you don't watch this sport, well, you're missing some big time hits.

There's probably a decent hit every round! AFL is not for wimps! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Haw/Stk tonight. Hawthorne is getting run over.
Hey kopf,
Hawks are a mere shell of their former selves. The 2nd tier players must step up into reliable, fierce leaders/performers or the poor results will continue.
There's quite a batch of young blokes being blooded and they will take time to develop. I doubt we'll get into the finals this year.
Saints were all over it and deserved their excellent win.
So goes the cycle of sports. You can't stay at the top indefinitely.
True.
Did you catch the Collingwood V Geelong game today?
I did not see that game.
Collingwood gave them a bit of a whack! Just out hunted them for the ball. Good display!

It was kind of an odd game. Collingwood was down early, then got back into it for awhile, but didn't have enough gas.
3/4 time Hawthorn vs Melbourne. We squandered a 35 or so point lead and they have kicked 7/9 last goals to be one point behind! Sheesh!
I caught an NRL game last night/morning. Country vs City.
NRL is something I like also.
Hawthorn got severely challenged but managed to win by less than a goal! Tight finish, but a good win against a youthful side.
Hawthorne vs Brisbane is on. [popcorn]
Third Vs bottom of the ladder!
We had a good win. ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»

Do you have a favourite team as yet??
My team - Melbourne Storm is rarely shown on free to air TV, as rugby is mainly a based in the more northern Aussie states of New South Wales and Queensland.
First World Problems!
This season is the closest between teams as it's been for many, many years.
Not good for fans like me who are used to their team winning most games, but certainly great for most other fans whose teams are on the improve.
To be sure, closer games equals exciting football!
It's good to have the 'power' change hands from time to time, keeps folks honest. I just enjoy the action, since I don't have a dog in the fight.
Well this season is the closest for many years, so enjoy! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Hawks knock off Swans by a goal.

Missed it. I'll have to pull up the replay.

Tight game! One point difference!

Western vs West Coast tonight. [popcorn]
I'm not sure I have this all correct (?) There was a bunch of pushing and shoving prior to the game directed mostly at one player on the Dogs. He got banged around a lot in Q1 as well, not so much during play. The announcers were talking about it, but I didn't really understand. What was it all about??
:o 1pt game with 5:00 left. What a comeback win this would be. [popcorn]
Eagles hung on to win. Great game. [clap]
There's been so many games this season decided by a goal or less. Great for the fans!
HAW/GW tonight. [popcorn]
Carn the Hawks.
That was a cracking game. [clap] [clap]
Actual ties are very rare.
Yep, Hawks overtaken by a hard - charging Giants, but levelled it just before the siren. Awesome!
More so considering their positions on the ladder.
Ties are indeed rare and now GWS Giants have had two in a row! I'd love to know the stats on such an occurrence.
NRL game. Bulldogs/Knights just started.
:o Wow! What a game. [clap]
Hawks Vs Cats this weekend kopf!
It's our captain's 300th game and he announced on Monday that he's retiring at season's end.
We drew with GWS last week, Cats did the week prior. Now it's us Vs the Cats!
Will be a tough game to win but we're playing well at the moment. Cats will surely be favourites to win it.
Just got some stats on a team having two drawn games in a row. Last time it happened was to Carlton in 1921.
That's pretty amazing, and I got to witness it.
I was standing in front of the TV the last 10min. :D
😎😎
Wait until you see a game at the MCG for real! You'll love it! Atmosphere is awesome! Only downside is that the MCG in the height of Winter is ffffreezing, nothing like Alabama!
Etihad Stadium is different, as it's got a roof. The capacity is somewhat less there though, but the crowd still get right into it!
I've got all kinds of cold weather kit. If I were to ever make the journey, I'll dress appropriately. ;)
If you ever make the journey I'll happily shout you a ticket to a game! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Geelong/Hawthorne is on. [popcorn]
What a game so far. This guy Dangerfield is a beast.
That was a great game. [clap]
Tight game indeed!
Dangerfield is certainly a beast. Explosive power that busts through packs, a strong overhead mark and ability to kick goals makes him one of the most elite in our game.
NM/ESS is on. [popcorn]
This is a great game. [clap]
Hawthorn V Sydney kopf!
Cracker of a game already!
Carn the Hawks!
Hope you saw the game kopf, absolute cracker of a game!

NM 17th V Mel 7th.
You watching now?? Game is on. Quarter time.
Want the score??
I'm watching. Q2
This game is awesome. [popcorn]
Q4 coming up.
Great game. [clap]
Yep another close one.
Another tied game this arvo!
Settled by a kick after the final siren too! Outstanding stuff! ðŸ'ðŸ»
Western vs Port Adelaide tonight. [popcorn]
That's a good game right now! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
The kids and myself are hitting the Hawthorn Vs Carlton game tonight!
Also we've got our tickets for the game next Friday against the Bulldogs, which will be the last game of Luke Hodge before retirement.
He's been an amazing player for us.
'The General!'
Sounds like a good time.
This game tonight was close through 3+ quarters, then Bang!
We went down by 7 points. Almost every 50/50 decision went against us and we gave them a few easy goals via 50 metre penalties.
Always hard to win when the game goes as such.
Bring on next week.
Just found out that last night was the first time Carlton have beaten us in 12 years!
I thought about that a bit. I worked out that I have been to two Hawthorn VS Carlton games in the last 12 years, both where we lost!
Lol!
Rugby League World Cup 2017 Tonga 🇹🇴 vs England ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿
Pre game ceremonies just took place. The stadium almost came unglued. [clap] [bow_down]
England has been in control up till now, but Tonga is making it a game. [clap]
Wow, what a finish. England wins 20-18. That was some great rugby.
Pregame ritual. After each team sang their national anthem (each and everyone of them on both squads). The Haka!! If you scumbag piece of shit mothermake the beast with two backsing pussy ass nfl teams (which I haven't watched in 2yrs) had even half this passion and respect, I'd probably......no I wouldn't, make the beast with two backs Off!
https://youtu.be/6BIhjQG0jlg
Glad you're enjoying the rugby kopf! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Australia Vs England in the final. Hope the Tongans have softened the poms up for us! 😉
Highlights from the game. England totally dominated till the last minutes, but Tonga dug deep and came back. I'm no rugby rules expert, but that final try was a score.
https://youtu.be/rIFrXH1b5YM
To come back from 20/0 to almost take the game is highly impressive.
Population
England 53,000,000
Tonga. 107,000
That tiny population figure is scattered over 36 islands, the total Tongan national area is 169 islands over 750 km S square or 290 sq miles.
Today's game Hawthorn Vs Geelong.
EPIC continuation of the fierce rivalry between these two teams.
Anyone catch the game?
You better watch that game Kopf!
I missed it. I'll have to watch the replay. Good game?
A ripper game!
I got Geelong vs Sydney tonight. [popcorn]
It was a good game.
Did you catch it??
Yes. Good game.
Hawthorn V St Kilda last night.
The win had to be ground out after 3/4 time.
Essendon/Hawthorn is on. [popcorn]

I did not watch it. How was the game?
Brought out the worst in me unfortunately!
Really tight tussle. The last 4 games between these teams has been decided by less than 10 points!
Richmond vs St. Kilda tonight. [popcorn]
Holden Colorado commercial. 8) Good looking rig.
Don't be fooled kopf! They're not as nice looking in the flesh, at least to my eye. Weird bends/curves in the panels.
Kia Sorento all the way! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Geelong vs North Melbourne starts at 2230 my time. [popcorn]
Watch it??
Quote from: GK on June 09, 2018, 02:20:51 AM
Watch it??
Watched through Q3. It was basically over by then.
Geelong is looking very good this year.
North Melbourne is a genuine finals contender too, but Geelong is nigh on impossible to beat on their home turf!
Sydney dismantled Saint Kilda. It was all but over at quarter time.
Carlton vs Port Adelaide tonight. [popcorn]
This is getting good. Q3
Brisbane v Carlton getting ready to start. [popcorn]
Bottom dwellers duking it out. Should be a hard fought game!
Carlton is getting beat like a narc at a biker rally.
One team got an absolute towelling!
Hawks Vs Bulldogs starting in 5 mins!
A must win for Hawks if we're to play finals later in the year.
Hawks in front at 1/4 time!
Hawks ended up giving them a hiding! ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»
Richmond vs Collingwood tonight. [popcorn]
This is getting ugly. ;)
These teams are the oldest and fiercest of rivals.
They are two Melbourne suburbs divided by a road. Richmond has set league history of just reaching 100,000 supporters. Huge number for our game!
Hawthorn vs Geelong is on. [popcorn]

My boys got it done. We're coming good at the right end of the season. Geelong are very heavy hitters!
Kopf,
Did you catch the Grand Final?
Excellent game. The team I wanted to win stood tall on the day.
Not sure how, but my dumbass missed it. [bang]
Oh boy!!!!
It was an epic game. 5 points in it at the final siren. Closest Grand Final in years and years.
Adelaide vs West Coast is on. The Crows are wearing a different jersey. Pretty cool looking kit. 8)
I've got Collingwood/GWS tonight, plus Rugby World Cup, Australia 🇦🇺 vs Fiji 🇫🇯
Close oneðŸ'
The Sheila's are playing tonight. [popcorn]
They play to position and against their opponent more like the old days. I prefer that.
I was thinking along similar lines, but didn't have anything to compare it to. I really enjoyed that style/technique of how the game is played. More of a chess match.
The men don't play to position and it's more like a giant basketball game. The women play more old school (without the fighting) ;D I don't like how the men's game has evolved .
Melbourne v Adelaide tonight. [popcorn]
Karachi Kings v Quetta Gladiators tonight.

Kopf,
I long for the day, next season when one of those fans will be me!
Hopefully my team whose season has been a train wreck, will do some rebuilding in the off season, and get back on the rails!
I reckon it'll be a Richmond V Geelong Grand Final.
