NoWhiners Posted September 16, 2023 Author #302 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Well, that was way before I ever even knew about Aussie footy but it always sad to see sports stars pass on. My sympathies to all of you who knew/remember him. ML 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can call them whatever they like, when 4 teams playoff with the 2 winners going through to the Grand final, then they are semis by nature.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 23, 2023 #306 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Grand finals next weekend: AFL - Collingwood Magpies vs Brisbane Lions. NRL - Penrith Panthers vs Brisbane Broncos. For those that support any of the teams, good luck, I will be going for Brisbane in the AFL and for Penrith in the NRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions in AFL for me, don't really care who wins NRL, but I'm sure the Penrith and Broncos' fans do. Good luck to the teams involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted September 24, 2023 Author #308 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I checked the scores this morning. A close one between Collingwood and the Giants. I don't think it was shown here, which is a little odd since these games usually are. Or maybe I never saw it in the listings--too early in the morning. I'll go with Brisbane and hope we get to see the game here! Another season comes to an end. And no more Buddy 😮 Go Swans! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted September 30, 2023 Author #313 Share Posted September 30, 2023 It was on TV here. I tried to stay awake but fell asleep after the 1Q. I think I missed a good game. I didn't realize Collingwood had such a great history of GF wins. Good on 'em 😉 Now the long wait for next season... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, many of the other teams hate Collingwood and their supporters but them it tends to happen when a team is doing better than yours and you don't think they are worthy (due to either racist, religious or social views). Collingwood were mainly working class Irish Catholics. Then the loathing becomes intergenerational as time passes and the original reasons are left behind but the rivalry remains.

Nice to know a little of Collingwood's history. But winning the GF should quiet a lot of haters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted October 2, 2023 #318 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Well done to the Panthers, @mrwalker will be happy. A gutsy come from behind win in the last 20 minutes to snatch victory. Triple premiers now, first time since 1983 when Parramatta Eels dis a threepeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
