A.F.L is an Australian owned and created sport, and to me the best sport ever created.

You can discuss who you think will win the grand final, what team you support, who your favourite player, and general news of what's happening in it.

I support the Richmond Tigers (Not going so well this year though.. Lol), and my fav player is Nathan Brown (woot, finally coming back from broken leg injury! ), and I think Geelong will win the Grand Final.

A picture of a Brisbane lion's player taking a screamer (AKA speccy), it's where a player jumps up onto their opponents shoulders and tries to catch the Football :


Watch this, guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03YRaXVR4gI This was around 10-12 years ago, maybe a bit longer. The person's name is Gary Ablett. It's the greatest mark (speccy) ever, done by the greatest player ever.

I've just found a video of Gary Ablett's son, Gary Ablett Jnr., he's very good aswell, infact he's favourite for the Brownlow medal this year (best and fairest for the year award).

Whoop whoop! Geelong won the Grand-final easily against Port Adelaide by 119 points! Oh, and Jimmy Bartel won the Brownlow medal the other day. He plays for Geelong. Video of Brownlow medal win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnQFeJ0Q6BA

Discuss..

Theres already a thread for sheep farmers fyi http://officialzezima.com/board/index.php?showtopic=119

This thread is for a sport, not for Aussies in general.


I'm not a huge fan of AFL. Even though I'm from Melb.

However, this thread does remind me that I need to get my tips in, lol.

Wow, I'm going to go on youtube and look up some videos because if people jump off of another then that sport must be brutal And with no pads, ouch.

Yeah, other countries always say that we're crazy playing a rough sport without any pads.

After each game, you come out with scratches, bruises etc. I've also been told by numberous people that I'll be good enough to play when I'm old enough.

Yeah, I've been told the same thing. People say if I grew a couple inches( ) that I'd be a great football player.

Lol. I'm quite small myself aswell, but I'm great in rover. I can play pretty much every possition except for ruck, lolol.

My sister has a video of me in under 12's taking a speccy/screamer.

Cool, maybe you can post it on youtube or something so we can all see it

Maybe. It's on a video (not DvD) and I'm not sure how to put it onto the Pc, so yeah

Edit: It might've actually been in under 11's
Also, a speccy isn't all that hard to do if you're playing in a football match, it's all your adrenaline, so you don't realise how high you're trying to jump, lol.

It's the greatest mark (speccy) ever, done by the greatest player ever.

You can also watch more videos of him if you type in, "Gary Ablett". That's if you want to of course.

Lol well the picture looks good do allot of people get killed with no helmets?

Lol, I don't think anyone's died. Maybe from a heart attack, but not from the game itself. There's always injuries, though. Like, hamstring strains (thigh muscle), concussion, etc.. There's been a few broken legs aswell, lol.

Someone almost died yesterday, their lung collapsed and if he didn't get treatment within 5-10 mins he probably would've died.

I saw this on british eurosport the other week, got addicted after about 15 mins good game even though I have no clue what is going on.
