1953 Berries went from 1st in rd16 to 6th and out in the 18th and last rd

ANALYSIS: The worst collapse ever? Souths miss finals as Walker powers Chooks to famous win

Apparenty, judging from the Roar’s Chicken Little community, this is direction the game should be going.

NRL judiciary dishes out ELEVEN matches in bans as JWH, Horsburgh pay heavy price for foul play

Women already attend sporting fixtures in good numbers, just not soccer…. for reasons that can never uttered here on the soccer tab.

Australian women calling for real change in football should start it by turning up to A-League matches

Raiders = Eric the Eel, except we’re gonna drown.

That’s why we love him.

Jarrod Croker has scored 1180 pts at Bruce, the record for a single venue total is JT’s 1186 in Townsville.
So 7 pts needed in his last go around in Canberra

Meh, one just assumes there’s some vested interests pushing such a pointless junket, and moves on.

Queensland to celebrate Matildas' legacy with funding boost - but most of it is already going to Rugby and AFL

If Penrith beat NQ in rd27 we should go through. Then it’s only four straight wins to premiership glory!

ANALYSIS: Raiders win ugly again to stay in top eight hunt - but playing like this, they won't last long in the Finals

Unless it’s the bonce, that’s fine.

NRL should consider following NFL path on kick-off to reduce risk of concussions - and encourage unpredictability

The fact that every game hasn’t ended up this way, and by some miracle we’ve won 12 games, should have Ricky in a nice, calm place.

ANALYSIS: Raging Ricky 'lost for words' as Storm prove they're contenders by riding roughshod over 'crap' Raiders

Probably the same reason you can brush against someone’s sleeve, they down in a heap of self-tangled legs, and everyone points and shrieks “There was contact!”

The Great Vine: Cortnee fires Matildas through to first ever semi-final after epic shootout win over France

What about the AFL, they don’t even have tackling, just jumper grabbing and randomly running into each other, yet have the same issues. Seems like the only way to win is to not play.

When the Dogs got nerfed in 2002, we made the 8 with -170.

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the Matildas, shame at some point the AFL will declare enough is enough, and they will have to bow out.

As the Matildas match the Socceroos’ World Cup effort, pride in Australian football is at an all-time high

Italian bloke would have fallen over anyway, as pointed out, that was the goal.

What brings us (band wagoners) to the screen/keyboard is the occasion, not the game. So naturally we are not going to discuss formations or other tactical subtleties, we don’t know squat about them. But the falling over for no reason, staying down after minor incidents etc, which continue to happen decade after decade, which anyone can see is stupid… that’s a lot of what’s left to talk about.

Give us back football's soul: Why FIFA must listen to World Cup's bandwagon fans and end this joy-sucking disaster

Turning it inside and bashing up the middle, if that worked one in 20 times, might be worth it. But it never works. But somehow, we’ve had an appalling defensive record but scored enough points to win 11 games. It just seems to be either one or the other, annoyingly the bad one often now comes at home, and I have to sit through it.

Holmes’ imaginary offence is now standard fare, as many handwringers here at the Roar would excitedly endorse.

Well all the space is taken up by Australia’s premier sport: Rugby union?

All these problems can be solved very simply: Just be more interesting.

I’m sure our performance was somehow the AFL’s fault.
