Chasing Losses
Posted by JamieJohnstone
- 31 Aug 2010 06:05 PM -  8 Comments
As you may or may not have noticed, the country does not have a government proper at the moment, just a caretaker arrangement that appears to be ticking over in a rather attractive – do we actually need so many politicians? – fashion while various shady deals are hammered out between the major parties and the eclectic bunch of independents.

Essendon - Enough Blame for Everyone
Posted by The Punter
- 30 Aug 2010 04:07 PM - 9 Comments
So Matthew Knights is gone. One of the most predictable events of the season took place last night, as Essendon decided to steal the top item on the evening news from that attention hog Ben Cousins and have it all for themselves by relieving themselves of their senior coach. Three years, one final, thanks for nothing.
The commotion that surrounded Essendon all year, as they defeated two top four teams but lost to the bottom two interstate teams in Melbourne, was that this mediocrity simply wasn't good enough.
Plenty of blame has been directed at Matthew Knights, and he has been held accountable... click here to read more...

Cuzzy Part Two - Count Me Out

I will happily admit that I watched every second of Ben Cousins’ documentary Such Is Life last night. And loved it. Even went round to a mate’s house with a six pack. Made a night of it.
But I won’t be watching the second instalment tonight.

The AFL Commission - Very Well Red
Posted by The Punter
- 18 Aug 2010 12:46 PM - 12 Comments
With politics very much in the front of everyone's mind, Andrew Demetriou didn't want to be left out last week.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott had announced the commitment of $36 million to further redevelopment of Skilled Stadium in Geelong, unconditional on Australia winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup
In addition to the benefits to the Geelong Football Club, this funding would also increase the possibility of Geelong becoming a host city for an A-League or Twenty20 franchise.
However, Mr Demetriou didn't really want any part of it, implying the Opposition of merely playing politics with the... click here to read more...

Do The Right Thing Johnno - And Go
Posted by JamieJohnstone

Brad Johnson should do the right thing by his football club and retire this week. That he would join two other undoubted champions of the game in Ben Cousins and Simon Goodwin in hanging up the boots this week would be a fitting tribute to a long and storied career.
[font=Calibri][size=3]There’s those sentimentalists who would like Johnno to get one last shot at a flag. I am by a large a sucker for sentiment in footy, but in this case, cold... click here to read more...

Lenny Hayes Headbutt |
|
Sep 03, 2010 - 11:06 PM - by z547043

This will come across as a whine and it probably is in a way, but did anyone else notice Lenny Hayes charging with his head into stationary/ slow-moving Geelong players on 3 occasions?? He was wholly responsible for the contact, yet successfully drew a free-kick on two of these occasions (almost injuring Ablett's knee on one) and on the other, he managed to put James Kelly on the bench via the blood rule for the all important last few minutes.
Obviously, the head is sacrosanct,... [Read More]

Finals Fixturing |

I can't believe the Saints get two weeks off while the team they will play next still has to play two games and then gets only a six day break leading into the prelim.
I hope Ross Lyon mentions this in his press conference.

Lenny Hayes = Gun |

Time for some man love. The guy is a gun and goes up a gear in September. At quarter time of the GF last year he was on his way to playing the best finals series I've ever seen from a player and he was huge again tonight. Riewoldt likewise.

Mooney and that FREE |

Said to the umpire, "You just cost us the game, do you know that?"
Umpire should have responded with "No Mooney, you cost yourself the game."
Free kick was there every day of the week.

He hasn't been right all season and Bomber has to bite the bullet with him and sit him out for any more games.
Looks old and stiff and reflexes aren't there. Been a cornerstone but is so shaky near any contest he has to be put out this year.
