Let’s leave WAG alone for now and focus all our efforts on obliterating the hugely embarrassing chant “Aussie Aussie Aussie, OI OI OI!”

Every time I hear some shithead chant that, I want to slit my wrists. If that’s the best we can do as a chant when playing on an international platform, we shouldn’t be surprised when we earn a reputation as a country full of dropkicks.

… then we’ll take care of WAG.

WAGs = Wives and Girlfriends?
==> You mean I can have my cake and eat it too?!

Seriously though, WAGs are mainly used by the media to add a “feminine touch” to various sports they find boring. Things like fashion and controversy…news.com.au is largely pro-women.

I don’t watch sports myself. Think about it…Why the heck would you watch people get fit and healthy; while you grow fat and out of shape? There’s a reason why the Govt has that ad with the bloke not being able to keep up with his daughter. (The stomach sizes one).

Usually the pairing of dog ugly sportsman and faux model wife/girlfriend is enough to put me off the idea of WAG MILFs altogether.

Hot? Maybe, but just try not to think about who has come before you.

Urgh, Gordon did look atrocious:P

Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke= Posh and Becks??

I’d have Posh and Becks any day, only because I secretly like some of Posh’s clothes, haha don’t judge!

Ugh, apparently Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke (some cricket guy) are Australia's Posh and Becks. I mean really, Posh Spice and David Beckham are something to aspire too now? You know what gets me, is that these wags actually seem to enjoy being in these roles. Despite looking horrendous at the Brownlows, Brynne Gordon actually came out swinging the next day claiming she thougth she looked beautiful. I mean money really that blind?

Haha in NZ we’ve urm, Honor Dillon (Black Sticks, hockey player) and Dan Carter (All Blacks, Jockey model boy) for a Jockey advertisement and the newspapers heralded them as the next Posh and Becks’ shoot with Armani.

It was quite funny because Dillon and Carter are poles apart from Posh and Becks…but well, we had to find our own Posh and Becks:P

I heartily endorse all of the above. Boganity aside, the term “Wives and Girlfriends” surely means the players have both.

Without naming names, I thought this was just assumed to be the case?

I mean what wait who said that *winkwinknudgenudge*herecomethelawsuits*coughcough*

I heartily endorse all of the above. Boganity aside, the term “Wives and Girlfriends” surely means the players have both. The correct term would be “Wives or Girlfriends” or Wogs. I’d love to see the media start using this correct version from now on.
“Wogs hit the town, buy shoes”. “Players spend day off in bed with Wogs”. “Cat-fighting Wogs cause friction in ranks” etc.
