If AFL sides were movies

Post: # 608854Post the shadow »

Please add your own contributions. I'm sure there's plenty of "gold" out there. Here's the latest line-up.

Adelaide: Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet.
Audience like to think they're cultured and sophisticated when in reality
they're just a bunch of bogans.

Brisbane: The Rocky Series.
Has hit stellar heights and profound depths. Most recent edition neither
its best nor worst.

Carlton: Pearl Harbour.
Proof of the maxim that big money and big names don't necessarily equal
success.

Collingwood: Titanic.
Well financed and loads of fans despite being nowhere as good as it's made out to be. Ends in tears.

Essendon: Star Wars Series.
Fans are a bunch of obsessive knobs with seemingly nothing else in their
lives.

Fremantle: Ishtar.
Has some high-profile cast members who previously tasted success elsewhere. A flop of biblical proportions.

Geelong: No Country For Old Men.
Critically acclaimed and successful. Jury still out as to whether it will
be an enduring classic.

Hawthorn: Toy Story.
One dimensional cast. Audience is predominantly pre-pubescent juveniles.

Melbourne: Psycho.
Big in the 60s. Recent version very disappointing.

North: Blair Witch Project.
Put together on a shoestring budget. Has a cult following.

Port: Irreversible.
Quite shocking to watch in parts. Going backwards.

Richmond: Matrix Trilogy.
Starts promisingly and everyone gets on the bandwagon. By the end, fans are demanding a refund.

St Kilda: American Beauty.
Full of promise but the audience knows from the start that it's going to end tragically.

Sydney: Schindler's List.
Grey and boring, but worthy of respect.

West Coast: Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
Displayed a lot of flamboyance and flair in its heyday. Now looks incredibly
dated and pathetic.

Western Bulldogs: Kenny.
Lightweight and lovable. Underlying theme of shyte.

Fremantle - This is Spinal Tap

Just when you think they are the real thing, it turns out they are nothing but fiction.

Adelaide: Groundhog Day. Seems to be absolutely no way forward at the present.

West Coast: Predator vs Alien. Seemingly disparate groups fighting underneath a pile of ice and snow.

St Kilda: Heaven Can Wait. It's gonna bloody have to before I see just ONE flag.

Collingwood : Shallow Hal

Collingwood: Armageddon, everytime it looks like they are about to win a flag, someone saves us at the last moment.

The Umpires: The Austin Powers movies, their decisions are a mystery, when they are wrong your team gets absolutley shagged and when you complain the AFL gives your club the Goldmember.

Port Adelaide 2007 - The Sixth Sense

They go through the season unnoticed until they get to the end and realise they've been dead the whole time.

St Kilda - "9 1/2 weeks".........we only play half a season...

Carlton - "Running on Empty" - drive round in Valiants thinking theyre Ferarris...

Sydney - "Mad Max"......plays up forward...possible Romper Stomper..

North Melbourne - "The Castle" - theyre in a sh!t position but dont know it..

Fremantle - "Clockwork Orange" - what the f@rk is going on there?

St Kilda - "Wizard of Oz" - there's no place like Dome.....there's no place like Dome....

Essendon - "About Schmidt"- struggling with retirements...

Melbourne - "The Wanderers" ....fairly obvious...

Hawthorn - "The Godfather" - someone gets whacked weekly....

Richmond - "Anabell Chong Sex Story" - everybody's been there..

Adelaide/Sydney - "How to make a Patchwork quilt" - boring as batshyte...

Port Adelaide - "The Nutty Professor" - see Mark Williams...

Geelong - "Bad Boy Bubby" - they make me want to wrap a cat in gladwrap....the mum bits a tad off though....but its a small town...

West Coke - "Studio 54" - sex, drugs and rockn roll....with a splash of football...

My effort reads like this

Adelaide - Akira. A total train wreck. fans love to talk it up but as many times as you watch it you just cant understand whats going on.

Brisbane - The Ring. Previously brilliant but newer version lacking the IT factor, still highly entertaining.

Carlton - The League of Extrodanairy Gentlemen - Big budget, big stars BIG flop

Collingwood - Sex and the City. Appeals to one kind of person, fans defend it to the hilt but everyone else thinks very differant

Essendon - Friday the 13th series. Fans love to talk it up as legedary and iconic but the tapes prove (mostly) otehrwise. Had an brilliant run under a mastermind but after he left there is just nothing to like about it.

Fremantle - Ready to Rumble. Idea works on paper and some people involved have been good elsewhere but in practice a pile of steaming shite

Geelong - The Dark Knight. Scarey as hell and taking all before it.

Hawthorn - Charlies Angels. Past was AWESOME but new crop cant hold a candle to it. Fun little distraction with some great talent but when it comes to the crunch it just doesnt stand up

Melbourne - The Dukes of Hazzard. Had a wonderful run way back when but recently fallen in a total heap with stupid decisions. Thaught it could get by on cameos but was proven wrong

North Melbourne - Juno. No frills production full of virtual unknowns but gutsy and an eventual hit

Port Adelaide - The Marine. Pure shite, weve seen it all before but only better than this, almost unwatchable

Richmond - Spiderman. Familiar but differant. Young and fresh with a touch of the old school about it. Potential to grow and hook new fans

St Kilda - Kill Bill. At times is downright ugly and is somwhat criptic and obsessed with the past but when its at its best is pulsating and hard hitting entertainment

Sydney - Oceans 11. High and mighty and oh so sophistcated but talks out of its arse most of the time and some of the people that fo to see it do so for wrong reasons

West Coast - The People Vs Larry Flint. Troubled, contraversial and a little dark but successful and entertaining

Western Bulldogs - Nacho Libre. Fun and quirky but pretty annoying and when you think about it.......silly

BANG BANG

What a great idea for a thread!

My contributions:

ADELAIDE - Rocky. They've lost the Eye of the Tiger but I am sure McLeod and Edwards could recover it for them with the gloves on or off.

BRISBANE - Twin Towers. I have a feeling one of those towers is about to fall.

CARLTON - The Life of Brian. "Judd is not the messiah, he's just got a very average groin!"

COLLINGWOOD - The Departed. Sums up their supporters to a tee!

ESSENDON - The Dark Knight. They surely have to be kidding themselves. Is the joke on us or them?

FREMANTLE - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. With their purple outfits they are multiple Willy Wonkas. Except Peter Bell who is an Oompa Loompa and Rhys Palmer who is a rebel Loompa.

GEELONG - Invincible. May as well scratch their name on the cup now.

HAWTHORN - In The Line of Fire. Tonight. The heat is on. Geelong by 40+ points.

MELBOURNE - Terminal Velocity. The Dees are going in one direction, and it's not up.

NORTH MELBOURNE - The Castle. "It's not a house, it's a bloody home!" JB Kerrigan takes on the big bad AFL to win the chance to stay in his home at Arden Street.

PORT ADELAIDE - Fletch. Port come in many different disguises, but all of them fake.

RICHMOND - Nightmare on Elm Street. Some of the best plots of horror slasher flicks have come from the goings on at Punt Road.

ST KILDA - Backdraft. The fires always seem to start from within from one of our own!

SYDNEY - Mission Impossible 2. Barry Hall's rehabilitation.

WEST COAST - Speed. Great flick with Keanu and Sandra. Seems oddly apt. Speed 2, the sequel, about to hit cinemas in Port Melbourne.

WESTERN BULLDOGS - Rabbit Proof Fence. Kicked around, spat out...but that are still walking along that fence looking for a way in.

Big in the 1990s but what has she done lately?

Arrogant bitch who thinks the world revolves around her

ESSENDON BOMBERS: SHARON STONE

A star after years as a bit player

Only recently has everyone realised how hot she really is

MELBOURNE DEMONS: LINDSAY LOHAN
A miracle she is still alive

NORTH MELBOURNE KANGAROOS: KIM (FROM KATH & KIM)
Deluded and incapable of living without the intensive support of others. Would fit right in on the gold coast.

PORT ADELAIDE POWER: BRITNEY SPEARS
Once had the world at her fingertips. Now cant even remember to wear her underwear in public.

RICHMOND TIGERS: JANE FONDA
A legend in the 60s/70s but you wouldn't touch her in 2008

ST KILDA SAINTS: RICKI LEE COULTER
Promises a lot but never delivers

SYDNEY SWANS: CATE BLANCHETT
Used to be boring but has become interesting again

WEST COAST EAGLES: AMY WINEHOUSE
