      Besides, soccer players are just a bunch of flimsy actors anyway that dive, fake injuries and pretend they've been shot to get free kicks and opposition players carded. The 4 billion people that have jumped on board the soccer bandwagon is because they're too scared of contact sport.
      Aussie rules, regardless of popularity, is the best sport in the world and is a real man's game played by men that show no fear and actually play the game, and can actually handle contact, injuries and real tackles

    This is the only club song that ever mentioned defeat except for the old Footscray song and it’s beautiful, part of the game and sums up the character of those clubs.

Football (yes I call it football) players suffer very horrific injuries too (ankles, Anterior, Medial & Posterior Cruciate, Ligaments, shins, shoulder & concussion to name a few) playing the sport, like any Aussie rules player would. The risk of obtaining an injury of that caliber is incredibly high so that shows the players mustn’t be “pussies” in order to want to go out on the field to play, which automatic disproves your argument once and for all. You’re gonna have to find a better argument than “soccer is for pussies”.

    Why can’t they just keep this tune? Brisbane’s song really looks like french national anthem

      Well, my friend - when I first this song in 1986, I thought that it sounded very much like the French national anthem, "La Marsellies".

    They should take out Gold Coast and GWS, and replace them with Tasmania and Fitzroy. #BringBackTheRoys

      @@Podgorski37 at this stage, they have been useless, especially Gold Coast. By this point in time, port Adelaide had played in 2 grand finals, winning one of them. These teams are in places where no one cares about football, even with the Swans in Sydney and the lions in qld. In Tasmania, there is a much better football culture for sure, and putting a team there would be much more worthwhile
