International Rules: Care Factor?

Post by lihei »

I'd like to guage public opinionon the rules series. My feeling was that is was the biggest beat up by the media/AFL to get behind a flawed concept.

Granted the crowd voted with its feet in WA and Vic. but I am not sure it is all that great a spectacle.

What are your thoughts :? :?

Good topic, lihei. It's not all that out of place in the Sports Bar but probably better off here.

I think, overall, it's good - even if a little strange.

People will vote with their feet and, so far, it seems they like the concept.
Donny.

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

Personally, I absolutely love these games. I really get sucked into all the hype and find the actual game very interesting and enjoyable to watch. I definetly dont think its a flawed concept.

I really enjoy watching those games I remember when I went in 2001 and there was this fight and all the players came off the benches it was pretty funny!!! After the game me and my friend went to go meet up with my mum, dad, Aunty and Cousin and all of these Irish people were singing coz they won and my mum was singing away with them and she didnt even know what she was saying (we still pay her out about that)!!!!

While I didn't actually watch the games, because I was out the last two Friday's, I enjoy the concept, and when I do get a chance to watch them, I enjoy doing so.

It would have been much more interesting to watch if Collingwood players were in the team!

As good as the games and series are...the Novelty will wear off one day and it will be just a memory of what used to go on at the end of the season as you waited for your team to get back onto the field.
Tradition? Pfft you call merging with Fitzroy and cheatin to 3 flags Tradition? Winning 4 flags in a row is history, which makes tradition!

My Care Factor is no Collingwood player played so we had no chance of getting an injury.
