My father played for St Kilda early to mid 1940’s so I never attented a game he played in.
Didn’t stop him dragging me along every saturday during the season though.
I suspect one of the reasons I was turned off the game was the transformation that overtook
my mother at matches. A dignified woman who normally never allowed swearing in her company turned
into a screaming, foul-mouthed monster at matches actually getting into a punch up with another
‘lady’ supporter at one match. My uncles, who were pretty rough themselves, refused to attend games
with her.

LOL
its amazing how females we term as 'ladylike' are foulmouthed ferals at sporting events
I used to refuse to attend with my sister for the same reasons you mentioned so I hear you dude.

Wandering off topic here but I’m enjoying watching women’s AFL now. A very different game from the mens. The skill level is important but there’s far less of the deliberate brutality and planned injuring of opposition players as in the men’s game.

Oh I remember playing rugby at junior school level and the mothers coming along to support their little darlings totally smashed on Brandy and Coke. I kid you not.

Phew! That was a nail biting game to begin with, and a bit messy. A very nervous SA vs Japan. Feel a bit sorry for Japan - not nice to lose on home ground. Not that sorry though
. Who knows? if the Springboks listen to their very clever coach, stick to the game plan, AND stay focused, we may stand a fighting chance at the big win, providing we don't lose the plot against Wales, of course!

Happy to see that you're a rugby
fan, Ruby ! I am hoping for an England Wales final ! Hope England wins !
RE: Rugby anyone ? - CRAZY-HORSE - 26-10-2019
my heart is with you SteveO
but my head tells me New Zealand/South Africa with The Kiwi's winning the final
RE: Rugby anyone ? - CRAZY-HORSE - 26-10-2019
WOW!
England beat New Zealand
I didn't expect that!
RE: Rugby anyone ? - Ruby - 26-10-2019
^I don't think anyone did! Oops! Could be an interesting finish.
I'm backing the boks, of course.
