If AFL sides were movies
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.

Run like Ditterich, arms flailing, cause fear in the enemy, make fellow saints walk tall!

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.

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.

On a slight tangent ... I was sent this ...
If AFL teams were women
ADELAIDE CROWS: JULIA ROBERTS
Big in the 1990s but what has she done lately?
BRISBANE LIONS: SARAH JESSICA PARKER
Just when you thought you were finally safe....... she's back
CARLTON BLUES: NAOMI CAMPBELL
Struts around like a winner but behaves like a loser
COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES: BELINDA NEAL
Arrogant bitch who thinks the world revolves around her
ESSENDON BOMBERS: SHARON STONE
Once the hottest name in the 'biz, now just a fading force
FREMANTLE DOCKERS: CASEY DONOVAN
Seemed like a good idea at the time, now no-one is buying her chyte
GEELONG CATS: NATALIE BASSINGTHWAITE
A star after years as a bit player
HAWTHORN HAWKS: SCARLETT JOHANNSON
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
Obvious isn't it??
WESTERN BULLDOGS: LINDSAY DAVENPORT
Unflashy, no nonsense gritty competitor.
