Casting for ‘dumb and dumber’, AFL Football style

Just a warning If I offend someone, get over it!

AFL Football unlike other sports has not featured in movies and I reckon it will help spread the popularity of the game, which is what the bosses at the AFL want. So hears my ideas for a movie classic like ‘Dumb and Dumber’ and now we need some idiots.

Ben Cousins aka Benny Boy

Ben Cousins, do I need to say anything else? What a looser, grow up, your not a boy anymore! The Eagles were spot on when they cut him from the list, a warning to to any club who thinks they could pick him up, do so at your own risk. Yes hes a fabulous player and would play some good games but lets look at the negatives of him playing for your club:

  • 29 years old
  • Brings a history and stigma of drugs to your club
  • Soft tissue injuries, he has a history of back related injuries which is drug related

Now if your wanting to return to football, what would be the best way to do it? Pretend your going to rehab, sounds good so far. Next step is to get picked up by some blonde sexed up bimbos. Did the cops return his Viagra? Then go to the rehab and get sorted out, right? No way not with ‘Benny Boy’, instead lets go to LA and disappear over the biggest US party weekend, Halloween. Whats even better is to kick all the dumb US celebs off (Paris, Britney, Lohen etc) the websites and be the star yourself. Now hows that for a staring role in my new AFL movie?

Andrew ‘Hitler’ Demetriou

Let me paint the picture for you. Hitler turned on and killed his own race (he was part Jew) in the 30s and 40s and now Demetriou is doing the same with his own club who he played 100 odd games with, North Melbourne.

The Gold Coast, Australia’s answer to Las Vages is the hot spot at the moment and AFL wants a piece of the pie. So lets take a struggling club (North) and relocate them to the Gold Coast. Sounds simple does it not?

It wont work for these reasons:

  • Brisbane Lions only have a membership off 30, 000 tops even after their recent success
  • Even after Lions four grand finals in a row, rugby still dominate sport in QLD
  • Ground only holds 12, 000 currently

The Kangaroos rightly said no. So what does Hitler do? Well he threatens to cut their AFL lifeline off and start a 17th club, what a tool. You cannot just bring a 17th club in like that, you have TV rights, need to seek the other clubs permissions and as it is there is too many clubs already. The Kangaroos suggestion is good, play a number of games up there but stay based in Melbourne as it keeps the Melbourne based fans happy and the club is not stranded up in rugby world in case it all goes pear shape.

Any other suggestions for idiots or movies?

Some other notable suggestions would be:

  • Kouta in ‘Dirty Dancing’
  • Judd in ‘Fistful of dollars’
  • Kevin Sheady as ‘ET’, just wanting to go home

I think the “Hitler” comparison is in really poor taste, Adolf Hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people, whereas all Demetriou is doing is trying to come up with an answer to a problem with a team that cannot survive without the input of funds from the AFL year after year.

How would you like to be compared in such a way for making a decision to close down a business that is clearly failing and resurrecting it where over time it may blossom?

@Trent - yes the Hitler comparison may seem like poor taste to some but not too me for a few reasons…

1) He is killing off the club he played for (Hitler killed off Jews his own blood).
2) Does not learn from the past - Fitzroy is dead and not remembered, Brisbane was not the best choice (Hitler did not learn with Germany loosing WW1).
3) Demetriou and Hitler are both dictators who cannot handle people saying no. Demetriou threatened a 17th club which is pure nonsense. The AFL clubs and AFL commission would not allow it.

It is fine to make such a comparison if lives are to be lost without care, but if the Kangas move nobody is going to die. Thus there is no comparison between the two situations.

Comment by Trent — November 9th, 2007 @ 1:27 pm

Yes no lives will be lost thankfully but Hitler did more than just kill people and that is what I am focusing on. Hitler ruined Germany fiancially and I believe that Kangaroos will also suffer fiancially if they moved up to the Gold Coast.

However I am happy with you to disagree with me strongly, I welcome the conversation :D

Hitler actually both destroyed and improved the German economy during his time in power.

When he was first elected to office the economy was a total mess from remunerations from WWI and the depression, by th late 1930s he had improved it out of sight enough to be named time magazines man of the year in 1938. Nonetheless, by the end of WWII he had again destroyed the economy with his war machine.
