Ddan can explain why you'll actually be "barracking" rather than "rooting"....
but what you call it doesn't matter.

Larry!
Final score 97 to 97....
Just one more root America and our team may have got the win.
Great game though.
A game can end in a tie?
That would never fly here.
Shorty Junior just commented that Jason Holmes will be expecting "over time"....
Yup. Our game can end in a tie. It's quite rare in AFL footy though.
St. Kilda seem to be quite good at it however.

I think rooting is the right word.....After all, if it's your team, then you do in fact give a fvck...... 8)

Fair enough.
I've watched American sports for a long time.
I've seen some 'names' play...
and in every game there was a winner...
I guess it's all pointless. :-*
In the big scheme of things, no doubt.

It was embarrassingly difficult. [roll] ;D
Only three games left now!
Hawthorn Hawks Vs Fremantle Dockers
North Melbourne Kangaroos Vs West Coast Eagles
Winners of said games play in the Grand Final next Saturday.
Carn the Hawks!
I got all excited that with the hitting and the tackling it would be a lot like football...

The game, although exciting, has gone soft. Tackles and hits that would have won a free kick when I was playing, now get you 4 weeks suspension. Bah!
Carn the Hawks!
Grand Final tomorrow!
Hawthorn Hawks V West Coast Eagles.
CARN THE HAWKS!
Hawthorn Hawks were the resounding winners!
Three premierships in a row! Brilliant!
Congrats. [thumbsup]
Now, can someone from down-under explain to us from up-over what "carn" means?

Not from there, but in that context it's like 'C'mon Hawks'!

I figured as much from context but was hoping there was more background to it.

Carn means "come on" and comes from the drunken crowds of Austrailan Rules Football. It can be extended past "come on", as it can be used like "carn the Pies" when you cannot say "come on the Pies". ;D

Pretty rare to win three straight. The league has implemented salary caps and player drafts favouring lower ranked teams to avoid such dominance. Hasn't stopped Hawthorn FC and I guess the coaching staff and adm-n can take alot of credit.
I like American football. Amazing how fast blokes that size can be. It looks like a blend of rugby and speed chess.
Carn means "come on" and comes from the drunken crowds of Austrailan Rules Football. It can be extended past "come on", as it can be used like "carn the Pies" when you cannot say "come on the Pies".
