triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9415 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 03:53 am Well it's all over again. The season of Aussie rules football climaxed today with a win for the West Coast Eagles in a nailbiting 1 point win over the Sydney Swans in the Grand Final. As an Eagles fan I am over the moon. WCE claimed the lead after 3 minutes of play and held onto the lead despite a valiant attempt by Sydney to come back. Last year WCE were beaten by Sydney in the Grand Final, so this year is sweet revenge. Go the EAGLES Steve Report this Post to the Staff

Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 09:06 am That really bites! I can't believe nowhere on cable tv anymore do they show Aussie football! At least the highlights of the weeks games used to be on recently and I don't even see them anymore. I used to watch a game every weekend and now, nothing. Really a bummer I missed the final. I will have to switch to satellite if we ever get out of these apartments. Report this Post to the Staff
Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 6:45 pm I'm a Swannies supporter and am slowly coming to terms with a 1 point loss. Having said that, "What a game!" Maybe Gaellic football comes close, but there is no game in the world that matches it for speed, skill, endurance, courage, determination and spectator excitment. The total winning margin in the last half dozen games between these two teams has been (I think) 12 points. Not bad for a game that can easily generate 200 points between two teams in one game! Soccer gaining ground in Australia? I don't think so. The only way a soccer team can win a game is if a player takes a dive in the dying minutes. Bring on next season P.S. We woz robbed.

Ah Aussie rules the only game I know that can rival ice hockey for violence and that is not a bad thing. I am happy they give them bigger shorts to play in now though Report this Post to the Staff
