Folou better kick than Shaw

Democracy..freedom of speech..yada yada...Sometimes it's just best to sit back and listen for a while!

caught out KS old boy - I got the original thread that you wrote before you went and changed it to the one above - and you say that I'm agressive???

[KirkysSocks]

I was not agreeing with your hope that Falou fails - I find the fact that you want someone to fail in their chosen field really sad.

You have been on here all of a month - you demand everyone respect what you say - how about showing some back to those of us who have been on here for years - you have rubbed many up the wrong way KS. as I said If I get banned or a warning - then so be it I'll cop it. As for me being agressive as you say - suggest have a look in your own back yard too.

I see..you don't agree with what i say, which is fair enough and i feel the same way about your agressive way of thinking, yet i should be the one banned.

Rational thinking is not a....

Its inhumane that they still allow you to post here! (yeah I know I will cop a warning - or be banned - so be it)

Can you get banned or be warned for agreeing.

Good to read Folau has ditched the cauliflower ear code and will commit immediately to AFL in October. That gives him two full pre-seasons before the AFL debut in 2012.

I'm sure he and Hunt will spur each other on. Great for the code out West.

And? its only football lady, perspective please.

I've done some inhuman things in my life i agree, like yelling out to Wayne Carey once he had chewy on his boot and that i hoped he failed.

I've been in England for a month and we haven't won since I left.

It was all your fault, not being here cost us those games

Folau will be an amazing footballer, no doubt about it.

KirkysSocks, you animal, how could you say something like that? If you're a catholic, I hope you confessed and paid your penances

Exterminate, Exterminate, warning warning NRL.

I laugh when the likes of the Parra President Paul Osborne treats Sheedy the Old Fox as a geriatric.

The AFL should stop Folau playing rugby and spend the whole of next year working on his skills. I'd love to see him smash packs in 2012. Except ours naturally.

a) get a younger spokesperson, not sheeds. He is old, not relevant enough, too melbournecentric and is not the future of AFL.
b) Use a player who is currently playing - who made the switch at the age that the AFL is hoping kids switch over. Allow this kid to document his transition and how growing up in a RL environment he was able to say no to RL and choose AFL.
c) Stop rubbing the NRL folk the wrong way. These people are the ones you are trying to win over and the AFL is doing its arrogant best to boast about killing the code. Co-Exist and play it nice. Melbourne people don't understand that in Sydney its ok to follow 4 codes.
d) Get a marketing tool with personality. Folou has the personality and public speaking skills of a damp rug.

a) Why does he need to be younger? Sheeds is not at all Vic-centric, he is completely the opposite, he has had a massive interest in spreading the game, not just outside Victoria, but outside Australia. He is also media-friendly, charismatic, and one of the few names from the AFL recognisable to most league fans. He is perfect.

b) Firstly, who says they won't try? Secondly, who says they are available? Of the players I can think of that would fit the bill, you've got Kieran Jack, Lewis Roberts-Thomson, Paul Bevan, Sam Gilbert, Lenny Hayes, Daniel Merret, and I'm sure a couple of others here and there. What are the chances of landing one of them, and them being a big enough player to market? Finally, how on earth could they choose one of those players NOW, before the club even exists (outside of hijacking NSW/ACT for the TAC Cup)?

c) The AFL has not once mentioned killing NRL. That talk comes EXCLUSIVELY from NRL circles who are paranoid about the AFL being proactive in expanding its supporter base. The AFL couldn't care less whether the NRL died or not.

d) Folou isn't there for his personality. He's there for his name, and his story, and he is already paying for himself.

I'd really love a positive tone in just ONE of your posts!

[KirkysSocks]

How would you have done it then?
