Errr... not that I need to justify myself to you, but yes, i AM a massive RL fan. I watch almost every game for the round (except the Nein matches which are played at stupid hours) and support the code by attending internationals and Origin games when they're played in "Victoriania".
Where do you get the time to follow your inbred passion, AFL?
And no one asked you to justify yourself, feel free to stop doing it. We get enough life stories here.
Well why the hostility then? Because I grew following a sport that you don't? Hmmm.
What hostility?
You were trying to justify following AFL. There is no need to justify it, ask yourself why you try.
Or are you just going to miss every point?
Right, will do. :sarcasm:
I wasn't kidding.
"You guys" are the anti-Victorian people on here unwilling to accept that people out of NRL heartland might actually show an interest in the game.
I'm not anti-Victorian.
I'm anti Victorian.
How many times do you need that repeated before it sinks in?
There are plenty of great non-heartland Rugby League fans, you just don't happen to be one of them.
You should be encouraging people from non-heartland states to follow and support the code so we can grow the game.
We?
Why would I worry about "encouraging people from non-heartland states" to follow the sport, there are people whose job it is to do that.
The moment the Storm stop being an AFL-ised Rugby League team is the moment they get some respect from me. Until then, I'll hate the pricks with slightly less passion than I hate AFL.
But oh no, you don't care about the code growing outside of your own backyard. Most supporters would want what's best for the sport no? What's best for the sport is being a national competition and the major football code in every state. Right now, we're a long way off.
Why do you think you know what's best for the sport?
And the "we" thing again.
Who are "we"?
Fantastic. Hope we don't see you back. :lol:
I'll happily never set foot in the place again. There's a reason it's at the bottom of the map. If Australia needs an enema, they'll stick the hose in Melbourne.
I responded to an ill-informed comment that people can't follow both codes. Who says so, you? Oh well, in that case...
There was nothing ill-informed in the comment. AFL to an
actual fan of any of the codes I mentioned looks like seagulls fighting over a chip. It's a dog's breakfast that has no structure and is all about giving gifts to the untalented.
Just lol. Absolute keyboard warrior at its finest, or should I say "merkin". Are Victorians even allowed to use that term on here? :lol:
You love the emoticons don't you?
You just work out how to use them? Congratulations.
Keyboard warrior? lol
For calling you an AFL fan?
You
are an AFL fan.
You're the warrior champ, a warrior for AFL.
Let's be honest, you're a Victorian hick trying to convince a Rugby League fan that you're a Rugby League fan. You could have just said "I'm an AFL and Rugby League fan" but you didn't. Ask yourself why?
Seeing as how you're a borderline-geniused Victorian who has touble seeing the wood for the trees, I'll answer it for you.
You felt it necessary to defend AFL and the fact that you've been bred to follow it. It's not my fault that the sight of 18 grown men wearing singlets and tight shorts running though a big banner made of toilet paper starts a bulge in your pants. It's not my fault that you salivate over the sight of a scoreboard that says your team was slightly better at not missing the point of the game than the other team. It's not my fault that you start heavy breathing and improper personal fondling when you hear the immortal word "bawwwwwlllllll". It's not my fault that for 4 hours every year you sit glued to the TV to watch something called "The browneye". It's not my fault that you cheer every time some nonce with a couple of white flags starts to wave them like he's trying to land a jet on an aircraft carrier....
You know who to blame, blame them.
f**king Victorian pansy.
Up yours Cazaly.
Now that's hostility...
