Even though there is a whole site dedicated to Aussie Rules I was wondering if we could have a particular forum on this site to do with aussie rules and stuff like that.
It's not that simple. You have to summit Everest, jello wrestle Carmen Electra (twice), smack the pope in the face, and then ask Huss nicely.
I'm affraid you are too sensitive to be a BS moderator. Geez, is that me or do Australian internet users have a tendency to be controll freaks? I've been to many different forums, many of them moderated by Aussies, and Bigsoccer is the first where the discussion is not controlled like in a police state.
Yes indeed. Tis a party that I have been Yellow Carded. Hopefully a kind mod will recind the card sometime this century.
I cheer for Geelong at League time and Collingwood at Play-Off time. Damn those Lions and their '3 in a Row'.
Hey, how about Jason "Aka" Akermanis? This guy is a freak!!! Actually, I like him a lot. We need quirky characters like him in American asSOCiation football, to get better publicity for the sport. Some controversy is good, as long as the the player can back up their trash-talk with their play. He is probably the most colorful character, and few friends of mine consider him to be the "David Beckham of Australian Football". OK, no direct 1-to-1 comparison. But you get the idea. OK, for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about: here are few links: http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=133635 http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,8682401-23211,00.html http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,8707686-23211,00.html http://foxsports.news.com.au/afl/gallery/0,8667,,00.html BTW, I'm not a Lions fan (or a fan of any specific team for that matter), just a neutral fan of the sport. I was "subconsciously" hoping that the Swans won the championship last year. But to be honest, I'm really neutral.
How about a forum devoted to Other Football Sports, then? We can put it on the page in Other Sports between "American Football" and it can be devoted to Rugby (Union, League, Sevens) Aussie rules, and the occasional odd Gaelic football thread. Or we can just let those pop up on the lower part of other sports. Won't bother me at all either way.
I think there needs to be a generic "Tackle Football" forum instead. I suppose American Football already has its own forum called "Football". How about renaming it to "American Football" and creating a sibling forum called "Other Tackle Football"? This can accomodate Rugby Union, Australian Football, Canadian Football, Rugby League, and Gaelic Football.
Australian Football chiefs target supremacy in the Rugby League heartlands - Queensland and New South Wales. http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,8725527-23211,00.html It seems the AFL has adopted a policy of moving away from the Victorian roots. That's why different financial rules from Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions. Also the upcoming season will have regular season matches in Darwin, Tasmania and Canberra (ACT). This will cover all states. (South Australia and Western Australia are already covered with 2 clubs each: Fremantle/West Coast AND Adelaide/Port Adelaide). Does Rugby League even have any exposure in places as far away as Perth? How about Adelaide and in Melbourne? Isn't there a Canberra team in the NRL (Raiders)? How about Melbourne? Do they have an NRL team, and if so what sort of attendance do they get? If you're not into Australian Football in Melbourne but Rugby League instead, you must be in heavy minority. Add Rugby Union to this equation, and it gets even more confusing. It makes me wonder, is the presence of so many tackle football codes a reason why one isn't able to completely dominate the way American Football has managed to do in the US?
Mods: Any chance this thread be merged with the "Any Aussie rules fans in here" in Other Sports? Thanks! I understand there is a better chance of hell freezing over than getting a forum for Australian Football. So this thread has pretty much lived out its purpose, and there's interesting stuff relevant to that thread.
Oops, sorry about that. I do have the PMs turned on now. Would you mind sending the info again? Sorry for the bother again, and thanks!
But i think what he means is a sub board like in other places like for the UK clubs how they have their own threads.
