AFL - Is it worth the heartbreak?

Re: AFL - Is it worth the heartbreak?

I watch as much footy as I can. Beats anything else on the box(except Saints games, hate them).

I urge all of you to cool your jets and take stock over summer. A new coach, more kids, players in different positions and maybe a trade or two. The draft is also a great time of excitement for every club.

This is the best game in the world and as with anything you have your peaks and troughs but us Dog supporters are a minority and we need each other as much as the team needs us.

Go the Red White and Blue.

I love the bulldogs not the game

Exactly. I love the Dogs far more than I love the game. Footy is important because the Dogs are part of it.

Tom Hafey once said that he didn't realise how important each club really was to its supporters until he spent time talking to aggrieved Fitzroy fans. He was amazed that many of them put the club ahead of the game and weren't interested in footy once the Lions "merged". I'd be the same if the Dogs were...ummm...compromised in the same way.

One of my mates hasn't watched an AFL game - even on TV - since Fitzroy got shafted (he was a Roys supporter). Before that he lived football. I'd be like that, I reckon.

I'm not being negative. Having followed them since 1961, I just feel tired...

Re: AFL - Is it worth the heartbreak?

I used to love everything about footy, bought papers to read the write ups of all the matches, bought Inside Football, watched League teams and all the replays. Now I can barely be bothered watching matches we aren't playing in even when they are on the teev.

But I'm more devoted to the Dogs than ever.

Yeah its all about the dogs these days. I have fox so I can see most games but just dogs games.

If I want to watch some good, hard, gutsy, skillful football I will go to an Sanfl game.

F u AFL.

Re: AFL - Is it worth the heartbreak?

I don't love the game anymore, i only love the Bulldogs.

I haven't loved AFL for a long time, if the Bulldogs were ever to merge or fold i wouldn't care about the sport anymore.

I feel the same way.
