Quidditch

You learned me something today Mason. Never heard of Quidditch. Sounds like something from Harry Potter maybe?

It’s Australian Rules Football, Deborah. In my humble opinion, the best sport on this rock.

Extremely summarised long story short, …. I lived in Australia, late 70s / early 80s and my dad took myself and bro to the 1980 Grand Final @ the MCG….. Tiges v Collingwood Magpies.
Tigers smashed the Pies that day and followed them ever since.
The season traditionally starts with Richmond v Carlton…… This morning was just incredible. 🐯

Another piece of info……. -OZ- , Lions forum member, (Panoptes’ good buddy) —->> he’s a Magpies fan. I remember having that discussion on the AFL thread that TonyG reluctantly started.
Anyone on here remember that? On the older forum format.
I was chatting about AFL and pi$$ing TonyG off with it…….. So he created a thread for it. Myself & LFiJ were the only contributors really.

Oh Ya. I remember.

Yep, DanO-Boy, from Potter.

I think there was either an xbox or PlayStation game dedicated to quidditch. Memory of seeing the tv screen and people on broomsticks flying around at Superman speed.

By the way……. If you spell Quidditch wrong on google ——>> google corrects it.
Made up fantasy games from JK’s head are corrected on google.

Quidditch also has the dumbest scoring system. Catching the snitch is worth 300 points. Everything else with all the other players is very unlikely to ever make a difference of even 100 points.

It would be like at some random point of a football game, they threw a baseball out in the middle of the field and both teams had designated players that had to go get it and the team that got it got 300 points, ending the game.

Only the scoring system is dumb?
