[asiu]

...the fight will take place in April but it is unclear who will have home-ground advantage: Horn in Brisbane or Tszyu in Sydney.

Horn ... take that to the bank as well.

which is also why the pirates woulda been easy pickings

Most Yanks probably think that Australian actors are Yanks.

That's how their minds work.

The AFL doesn't need to go overseas to grow the game. It can do it right here at home with the help of state-sanctioned population growth.

Sydney and Perth on similar growth trajectories.

Easy money!

so yea

the Dutch for me.

Speaking of the Dutch, do they come from Holland or The Netherlands? (warning, this maybe a trick question).

The Dutchies come from the Netherlands, on the left hand side.

The small republic of around 1.5 million inhabitants distinguished itself by world trade through the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the Dutch West India Company (WIC), by its great military successes against ostensibly stronger countries such as Spain and England, by its huge fleet (with 2,000 ships, larger than that of England and France combined), by the flourishing of arts (painters such as Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer and many others) and sciences (including Hugo Grotius and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek), The small republic of around 1.5 million inhabitants distinguished itself by world trade through the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and the Dutch West India Company (WIC), by its great military successes against ostensibly stronger countries such as Spain and England, by its huge fleet (with 2,000 ships, larger than that of England and France combined), by the flourishing of arts (painters such as Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer and many others) and sciences (including Hugo Grotius and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek), and by its relatively tolerant atmosphere towards different religions and ideas (freedom of thought). Because Dutch trade, science, military, and art were among the most acclaimed in the world during much of the 17th century, this period became known in Dutch history as the Dutch Golden Age. its relatively tolerant atmosphere towards different religions and ideas (freedom of thought).

imagine

the paradigm breakers two cultures of (relative) tolerance
might teach each other

[asiu]

imagine

the Palawa ‘n Pakana womenfolk
being treated with RESPECT

[Secret Kiel]

Tolerant of all the Nick's.

[asiu]

to be wiped from our own land
by the slime that followed

Nothing to do with the thread topic or your post...but love the new avatar

Not as good as Sir Les but you haven't disappointed on the humour

Yeah fair enough. The Dutch was a good answer.

The native peoples were treated very badly by the Brits and their Aussie descendants. It is a black mark on our history.

Still as a generalization I still agree with my original post.

[asiu]

you are certainly allowed to generally agree

maybe over time You may choose again
‘n that’ll be ok as well

Not half as badly as the yanks treated their natives.

My comment was purely restricted to the concept of me not existing had the Poms not come here and set up shop.

Clearly not everyone benefited from this, but I did. I'm alive because of it, and although it's a very selfish persepctive - I'm happy about that.


And that's my point really - I can celebrate that any day. Why does it have to be on the same day that thr Poms declared terra nullius?

[asiu]

it’s all good

personally ... i don’t desire any changing of the date

i love the Polarity of it

Aussie Day Awards + Brickbats
all on the same day

very australian

then the monday for getting over it all

lets rebels without a clue like me run amok

yay Not Happy Jan26 Day

Thanks, Scollop.

No one is too small to make a difference.

It reminds me of a quote.

“For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.”

But if the goal is just to be right, keep talking..a bit like a couple of lazy moralisers on here.

[saynta]

‘n not that i wanna get involved in this other ‘love-in’

but
the LA game

thats an interesting idea ... with promise

imo

You do realize that these hyped-up ”exhibition” matches are targeted towards a domestic TV audience?

The AFL has 3/5’s of f*** all chance of cracking the US market. It's not like it hasn't been tried before.

Anyway, would need a whole of marketing and media campaign across different channels. Games would just be one element. Even then, it would be a waste of time and money. The AFL might as well flush the money down the toilet or just give it to me.

I remember many moons ago when the then VFL played an exhibition match in NY City. Barrassi got his nose busted by a big thug of a NY copper.

Didn't work then, wouldn't work now.

I'd heard this was possibly going to happen, there is a big chance this will be a complementary promotion with the tech giants who are likely to win the next contract for the media rights, hence California.

Trust you to be all over it GO. But you only got it half right, I definitely was impersonating a poster who makes stuff up, but it wasn't Ted.
