TOPIC:

It seems that JUH is well and truely on the outer at the Bulldogs.
Even a couple of commentators are saying his career could be over in a couple of years.
Has stepped on a few important toes by the reading of things.
Not much trust within the group with him, including the coach and skipper.
Been a problem since being taken as draft selection 1.

Yeah not sure whats going on here. Reportedly has had a falling out with Beveridge and some personal issues which has distanced him from the team. Like Jason Horne Francis a trade to another club may be the best at this stage if he has burned some of his bridges at the Doggies.

I think that this is a far differnt case to JHF.
The rumours have been rife for some time now that his time away from the club is fairly obvious, yet can not be commented on.
Was not in the good books when first recruited.
As Hird said, hard to come back when you have pissed off the coacha nd skipper.
Not sure of the beef with Lobb, but must be a bit serious.
And by the way, than you for responding to my posts. 
look forward to having many more interesting chats with you.

HLS, you might find it harder to get many people discussing anything AFL here.  I think there’s a few people that follow it, but It’s almost a badge of honour to shitcan AFL and pretend the WAFL is the only game in town. Go figure.
I’ve followed the EFFC Sharks for about 65 years and the Eagles since their day 1 against Richmond.  I’m always ready to discuss AFL with anyone.  Who do you follow?

Count me in 58, been a geelong man since 63, always to talk AFL...and Wafl!!

two things

the site at it's birth was set up to cater for WAFL folks primarily and foremost
possibly mainly due to the sudden closure of the old WAFL site 
along with the fact that there were substandard VFL dominated sites (some still exist today apparently)

and AFL is a make believe moniker , a sham facade trading name created to mask what it really is
a slut that will always be the VFL

Ok Southy, your opinion which I respect but don’t agree.  I think it’s easy to see the days of the vfl as top football are very much on the wane.  Like it or not, the AFL is arguably the number one sport in Australia.

In some ways you are correct.Yes the WAFL site closed to do friction with posters.
But, I may be wrong and my memory not as sharp as previous, I believe this site is an off shoot of another site, which was cloed due to the same reason as the WAFL site closing.
Again, i partly agree re VFL/AFL.
But far too complicated to make real comment.
But just my toughts, We, the WAFL, lost the chance when we refused to stand by South Australia, and sit our for two years.
Has we done that, we could have forced the VFL to remove maybe a minimum os two, but a maximimum of four.
And of those four, there are still at least three still strugglling financially, That is regardless of what the AFL and their sycophants say.And one of them won the flag here in Perth.
All I will say for now.And by the way , thanks for the response.And Go Bulldogs Been a follower for close to 70 years.
Not sure I made it clear, but there were two sites, The WAFL and another, Both, from memory folded as I said. But I think this site was either set up, not from the WAFL site. That was shut down.But I am not sure whether the other site was resurected with this one. Or whether this was a new one.
The site that folded at the same time as the WAFL site, I am sure , had a different name to OZFOOTY.

Shark, thanks for responding to my post/s.
I understand fully the feelings of many/ most here regarding the AFL.
But it is football, and I think some here, from what I have seen are not keen on aligning themselves with the AFL.But their prerogative.
I am a Dockers member, or ticket holder. Have been sincce almost day one. A 31 year member.
Though, wil admit I followed ,but never got totally on board witht he EAgles, as I believed that Fremantle had to come into the AFL.
Also a mad keen Bulldog fan. Have been for close to 70 years.
Like you I am on old fart.LOL.
I love my sport and am prepared to put my two bobs worth in on some things I know something about.
I also responded to Southerner re my posts.
I think you will relate to my response about this site, I am sure this one came up after a problem with a couple of posters from the PFC. It is either a new site from when the AWAFL site closed, or just a rename.
Looking forward to chatting.


 

Agree with ya 58 Shark.... of all footy folllowers 85% plus ( my guess) associate with the AFL, so it makes sense to me for people to follow it. I also follow cats in the VFL and Falcons in WAFL, as basically i am an old school SPORT follower.
