Worth Every Cent
Posted by JamieJohnstone - 19 Mar 2010 10:38 PM - 8 Comments



I’m presuming most of you will already be in a seated position when you read this, but for those of you who are using a Donald Rumsfeld style stand-up desk, or perhaps have futuristic sunglasses which flash up the Internet on the inside of the lens, get your bums safely parked.

Andrew Demetriou deserves every single red cent of the $1.8m he was paid last year. He did an excellent job in very trying circumstances and as a result, the Australian Football League is in rude health and poised to grow further...click here to read more...

Post Pre-Season Indications
Posted by JamieJohnstone - 16 Mar 2010 11:30 PM - 10 Comments



Adelaide – Cruelled by injuries so not much of genuine significance to take from this but in guys like Vince, Dangerfield, Tippet and Walker they have quality galore. Even if their luck deserts them this season, they have plenty to look forward to.

Brisbane – They’ll have learned that bringing Fev up north doesn’t mean his problems have been left behind. Didn’t really do enough either way to get a good read on how they will go as the winter progresses. My suspicion is that they’ll be thereabouts...click here to read more...

This place has been in the news lately, notably with the Geelong Football League and the coach of the St Albans, Peter Davenport, threatening legal action over posts that were made here.

This follows a piece in the Sunday Hun regarding rumours that were posted here about allegations regarding infidelity between...click here to read more...

Dobbergate
Posted by JamieJohnstone - 10 Mar 2010 12:15 AM - 29 Comments



I’m going to ignore the AFL’s typically hyperbolic and ill-thought drug stuff until later in the week and instead quickly address the growing sensation of Travis Cloke allegedly having done the dirty on Jake King, or “Dobbergate” as I’m calling it.

This Herald Sun piece spells out the various accusations quite nicely. It has to be...click here to read more...

300 game club: Who is the best of the lot?
Mar 21, 2010 - 8:19 PM - by Crowboy1988
Dustin Fletcher
Andrew Mcleod
Tyson Edwards
Jason Akermanis
Brad Johnson

The players mentioned above been great servants to the game, but who currently would you think is the most handy player out of this lot? Could any of these players get a game on your team? Interested to see opinions on what you guys think.

Favourite Player from another team?
Mar 21, 2010 - 7:53 PM - by richskee
Pretty simple really.

For me one name stands out.

PAUL CHAPMAN - The guy is a dead set gun, although his balding looks may be deceiving, this small nugget man can play footy. It's a real shame he can't string 22 games together because of his hammy's but when he's fit and firing this guy is litterally a superstar. The amount of times I've seen this guy collect 30+ possessions and 3 goals is ridiculous. I also like the way his nick name just flows from the tongue... [Read More]

your fave afl buz words

drop a few of these in your posts and footy bro's will accept you into the footy bro circle jerk... im also pretty sure its written into triple m commentators contracts to drop at least 50 of these every hour (inbetween the awkward banter and forced laughter), and various media writers to use these as frequently as possible in their articles to connect with the footy bro readers...

examples:

'dukes' (big arms)

'chocolates/choccies' (apparently what you... [Read More]

Superleague??
Mar 21, 2010 - 3:15 PM - by Franko Armani
How long before a SuperLeague or rival/breakaway league is formed? Personally, I think it would be great...the AFL administration deserves it & somebody with the cash to start a league that returns the game to what the long time supporters/followers really want would really cash in. Buy all the best players & you instantly have the best league in the nation. Pretty easy.... [Read More]

Captains say no to NAB Cup and yes to SOO
Mar 21, 2010 - 11:36 AM - by pazza
How this hasn't been discussed yet is strange.

Was reading the Captain's survey results in the Herald-Sun on Friday and it seems that if they had their way, the NAB Cup is as good as dead - and that in the minds of Chris Judd and Nick Maxwell in particular, a pre-season SOO match is the preferred option (with those not selected to play in practice matches on the same weekend).

This and the comments of a number of coaches such as Knights, might make things just a... [Read More]

Melbourne football club to finish 5th in 2010
Mar 21, 2010 - 9:42 AM - by Bring-Back-Powell
According to the experts at the AGE. Interesting call. I guess if they have a good run with injuries and the kids play out of their skins they'll give the top 6 a shake. A lot will rest on Melbourne's A grade players such as Davey, Sylvia, Bruce, Bate, Green and Grimes.

For the record, they had Geelong,... [Read More]
