    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    When espn launched in the early 80s, AFL and strongman competitions were their main properties. My dad played some rugby in South Africa in the 70s and would be shouting at the tv "look at the crazy sons of bitches. They're killing each other. This is great"

    Whenever chaos started happening in gym class, on the field, etc... We'd yell "Aussie rules"

    That is about when I first watched Aussie Rules football. I was thinking, "there ain't no rules". And who ever had the ball is a dead man.

    Fascinating sport.

    They changed the rules because of this guy. Port would have won more flags if they didn't everyone was scared of him.

    Adelaide takes 2 on trot and makes it quite interesting for who'll scrape into the finals. Giants and Melb face off on Saturday, so that'll be interesting to watch but I reckon the Dogies have a great chance of sneaking in, although don't think they'll be able to repeat their fairy-tale Grannie win of 2016

    Think the bottom 4 will be just making up the numbers, although I'd be going for the Dogies if they made it in

    Wouldn't mind Gary Ablett winning a flag in his last year and if the Lions play in the Grannie in Brisie that'll would be huge for the AFL (sticking the knife into the NRL), but not overly fussed who wins ... just not Collingwood LOL!!

    Nice research .
    I think Michael Tuck is the most underrated player ever , 7 Flags , 39 finals appearances and runner-up six times for The Best and Fairest at Hawthorn .
    Up against arguably the best player ever in Leigh Matthews .
    And the games played record holder for so long .
    He always gets left out when the best players that have played are mentioned .

    Dusty stood up when needed. Unfortunate Gazza got injured although he battled on, I would have liked him to had a better last game

    More bullshit rule changes from the AFL to increase scoring .
    If they had let the game be years ago , we wouldn't be in this situation now .

    I think the AFL are now so used to changing rules every year, they think it's normal. Here's an unsurprising stat I heard yesterday, the AFL has more rules changes than any other sport in the world.
