2011 AFL Season

[Rivergirl]

Yes it's really annoying. I am sometimes in at my sons apartment next to Etihad when the live games are playing and watching it on tv is disconcerting when roars go up in the live game

Well done RG! The Bombers do look good so hope they go well this year.

Would LOVE it if they beat the Pies!

[Rivergirl]

Thanks Petros. Sorry about the Saints. It would be a real boost if they did beat the Pies

GO the BOMBERS!!!

Doing so well so far this pre-season. With the all the changing around of the team (for the better), there has been a huge shift in attitiude from the team. Let's hope there NAB cup experience pays off for the AFL.

Yay great to see some Bombers fans on here - Mad Moo and Jake I've been a fan since I moved here from Sydney in 1986. I reckon James Hird is making a huge difference and Bomber Thompson.

GO BOMBERS!!!

[Rivergirl]

Well done to Collingwood. They aren't the 2010 premiers for nothing. Pleased to just see bombers get to the final

[mad*moo73]

I'm a Blues fan, Robyn. Just happy for "anyone but Collingwood" to win! And go the Blues next Thursday when we commence the season with our traditional thrashing of Richmond.

[Rivergirl]

Well good luck to the Blues mad moo

[mad*moo73]

Why thank you & good luck to the bombers when they are not playing Carlton!

Bombers all the way. Been a bomber since I was born all those years ago!! Was at the Bombers family day and saw the players and coaches being introduced, Hirdy just looks so right as the coach!!

Go Bombers!!!

[Rivergirl]

Hey that's what I like, a positive attitude Good to hear you'e a huge bombers fan. I was thinking I should have gone to the Bombers family day. Would have been a great air of optimism there I bet. New beginnings. GO BOMBERS!!!

[Petros]

It is just me or is the AFL.com site pathetic for looking up the currently playing game this year!?
1. hard to find the connection to live radio
2. slow as a wet week
3. 50% of the gameday page taken up by some facebook/twitter thingo
4. takes for ever to load.

I agree with you. They appear to have over engineered what was a practical and working solution.

Fantastic match played by Essendon!! We're in with a good chance this year.

[Rivergirl]

Yay Bombers!!!

[norfolk]

Was so awesome actually being at the match yesterday. Essendon played fantastically, but then the Bulldogs played shockingly. I hope this is indicative of upcoming season. Will be interesting to see what happens in Sydney next weekend.

[Rivergirl]

Would have been great to be at the match. I always admire the people that go along to support their club. Good on you Tony. I've only been to one of their games and it was the opening game of Colonial Stadium back then when they demolished Port Adelaide by about 100 points. It was a corporate evening and we were given a bombers pin to mark the event. Who would have thought my son would be living right next to that same stadium many years later.

Tony here's a pic I took from my son's balcony of Bomber fans leaving Etihad after a winning match last year
