Best and Worst dressed at the Brownlows.

As the Brownlows is a classy black tie dress event, we are bound to see beautiful outfits but inevitably some pretty terrible ones too. So here is a small collection of the worst and the best. (in no particular order)
* I take no credit for the photos*
WORST-
This I don't even understand. Its terrible
 TV presenter Laura Csortan in 2001.
Novelty dresses aren't, never where nor will they ever be classy.
Sarita Stella, girlfriend of footballer Brodie Holland in 2002.
I feel this looks like a 7 year old made it.
Fiona Mills at the 2003 Brownlow Medal count.
Interesting choice. Don't really know what was going through her head
Rachel and Andrew Mcleod in 2006.
Looks like she didn't have time to change between going to the event and being at the beach.
Natalie Osborne at the 2000 Brownlow Medal.
Even the guys slip up, i believe its BLACK tie?
Shane Crawford and partner Olivia Anderson in 2004.
BEST -
I adore this, she looks stunning.

not sure how i feel about the top but it suits her nicely

She wears this so nicely, classy and neat

I dont know how she pulls this off, but she does

Simple, elegant and flattering

Not usually a fan of green, but its defiantly her color

Bad Umpire decisions

I understand how difficult the job of an umpire is. But lets be honest they know exactly what they are in for and some of the decisions they make are just ridiculous. Here are just a few.
They are calling a push in the lead up to marking the ball. Clearly wasn't there.


They claim that he deliberately took the ball over the line. He was simply about to be tackled and its perfectly in his right to away from it.


The fact that I am a Collingwood supporter myself and even I find this outrages. Even perfectly clear in the review.


Personally, and maybe it is as a typical Collingwood supporter but I really strong dislike Ray Chamberlain. He is simply a bad umpire and as any other job if your bad at it you shouldn't be employed to do it. He gives a free kick for supposed contact between play. No idea what he even called it as but it was incidental contact in my view.


Again Ray Chamberlain. He calls a free which is fair. He then calls 50m for not handing it over straight away. Thats radiculous

so besides my blog a good place to get recent footy news is
https://au.sports.yahoo.com/afl/news/#page1
As part of a female view of AFL clearly we are going to check out the cute ones. So here are a few of my personal favorites.
*none of these are my photos and I take no credit for the photos*
 Jamie Elliot- probably my personal favorite he's just so wow.

Sean Lemmens- some mixed emotions however this photo is great.

Marc Murphy- wow.

Alex Rance- tigers producing the goods.

Jimmy Bartel- not usually a fan but he sure cleans up well.



As well as checking out the guys, on nights like Brownlow night.
Lauren Phillips- Gary Ablet's partner

Kasia Z- Buddy Franklen

Leanne Tucker- Mark Mcveigh- not a fan of the dress but what ever floats her boat.
mark mcveigh leanne tucker
Biance Luscombe- Farren Ray
biance luscombe
Alex Davis- Scot Pendlebury- totally love her (not just because Scot is my favorite)



So ive decided to cut down on the long boring written updates. If you want to find the scores etc. you can download the afl app or google it. Anything anyone wants to see? Who's your favorite and who have i missed?

Best and worst of the AFL

AFL has had it ups and down. Hair styles and tattos amongst the ups and downs. Here are a few of the worst hair styles
* none of the following images are mine and i take no credit for the photos*
Dustin Martin- I will never understand this. Looks like a 5 year old did it.
Ash Smith- oh Ash, slightly reminds me of Tracy from Hairspray.

Adam Heuskes- dont even know what to say for this.
Greg Anderson- then there's the mullet era.
 
TATTOOS
Ned Kelly- 'such is life' across his torso. WHY?
Travis Cloke- not a terrible tattoo however I feel as though its just not him.
Leroy Jetta- cute meaning but i will never understand the attempt of faces in tattoos.
Jeremy Howe- 'pain is short, victory is forever. Considering he okays for Melbourne I guess he's gotta hold onto as many victory's as he can. But he could have at least centered it.
Daniel Merrett- i don't even know what he was thinking. Surely one he will regret.


These tattoos and hairstyles surely are an interesting aspect of our beloved AFL players. Just glad their appearances have next to no impact on their sporting ability. Which do you guys think are the worst? and are there any worse that I've missed?

Hey guys so here's whats going on in AFL lately.

As some of you may know before the proper season for AFL starts (April to late September) there is a small competition called the Nab challenge. All the teams ( photo below for those unaware of teams) compete and there are small rule modification.

Brisbane def St Kilda- 55-58
Western Bulldog def Richmond- 89-67

WOMENS

In the past few years, the participation of girls footy has been growing but recently especially in my local league the interest has been dropping. Womens afl is a growing legue. This year there are two women's exhibition matches one on May 16th which is Melbourne vs. Western Bull Dogs. Western Bull Dogs are also hosting one on August 16th. Last year there was a large turn out of  a few thousand and hopefully there will be an even bigger turn out this year.
