You mean real men who like to hold and grapple each other, roll all over each other and all fall down together on the ground writhing and entwining with each other?

Maybe a little bit... :shifty:

But mostly bumping and hammering each other with gratifying ferocity... :tup:

Virtually no crowd violence at an Aussie rules match, far too much happening on the field...

I think we take our 'one-eyed' team support with too much self deprecatory humour to get too precious and seriously tribal about it. ;)

No crowd violence at Gaelic either. Or any game played in any Irish league. The Irish are too sound for that :tup:

Yeah, there's probably something in that too, but I honestly think that a certain hominid desire for "physicality" is satisfied by Aussie rules (& maybe Rugby) to the extent that the crowds are satiated...

The Romans never rioted at the Coliseum!

Crows lost by 48 points woot! :woot: :D

The perfect weekend in the life of any Port Adelaide fan.

Port wins
Crows lose

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Yep, a good win by the Cats, even though the Crows made several determined challenges during the match, and we had a few lapses of concentration at times...

How good is Gary Ablett Jr?

Bloody magic!

Yep, Richmond's coach, Terry Wallace, is a dead man walking.

This gives me great pleasure...

Wallace has escaped till a mid-season review... Fair enough, I guess...

Port faces a big challenge, Red, in the form of the rampaging Saints, though you do have a good record against them... :hum:
