Another Open Daw on our Media

Now that NM won't tell the reason why Majak Daw was suspended, more energies than usual are being spent to find out why. Best to come clean
|
Mark Robinson, Football writer for the Herald-Sun, yesterday on Twitter.
And he's right too. As soon as North Melbourne indicated there were elements to the reasoning behind Majak Daw's suspension that they (initially) weren't at liberty to divulge, then the phones would have started working, and the rumour mill would have cranked into full swing, and eventually, the story would have come out.
Last night it did, from the mouth of North... click here to read more...

Extra Extra! The AFL Times is here!

A very interesting story in The Age today about the AFL moving to revamp the way club websites are used and crucially, how “news” is reported.
As the piece says:

“The AFL and club websites have not traditionally pursued hard news, preferring general team news, features and audio and visual clips, while letting mainstream media set the pace on the issues.”

Now the AFL wants to start reporting... click here to read more...

SuperCoach and Dream Team: Impromptu on Selecting Your Starting Side
Posted by Chief
- 29 Jan 2012 11:35 AM - 6 Comments
SJ asks Impromptu six questions on selecting a starting side.
Impromptu finished 1st in SuperCoach and 26th in Dream Team in 2011, and will be writing for the BigFooty News in 2012.
1. What do you consider to be the basic types of players in Dream Team and SuperCoach?
Traditionally, my Dream Team and SuperCoach teams comprise of a set number of premium and rookie players with only a small portion of mid-priced players. Therefore, I favour the 'guns and rookies' approach.
Premiums are there because you need them in your team to score points because, all... click here to read more...

One Andrew Swallow does the summer make

The first pink fingers of dawn break through the long dark footballess night. North have just announced the first intra-club match of the season.
Other clubs either are or soon will be doing the same.
The intra-club is a strange beast. Even more than those stupid NAB Challenge games you have to play once you get turfed out of the NAB Cup proper (I know) it is utterly meaningless.
Yet without... click here to read more...

GWS - Where Losing Happens
Posted by The Punter
- 12 Jan 2012 10:17 AM - 14 Comments
This year, 2012, shapes as a particularly groundbreaking year for many reasons. A new TV deal, a new schedule, and a new team. There is certainly the promise of a interesting and contentious year.
That new team, Greater Western Sydney, will be particularly groundbreaking. Venturing into Australia's toughest sporting market, the AFL is determined to ensure GWS succeed, and they have the resources and willpower to ensure it will happen.
Just like the Gold Coast Suns before them, GWS are taking a long-term approach. But it would appear they are taking that long-term focus to an entirely new level.

Pre-Season gains. Are they actually stronger/faster? |
|
Feb 09, 2012 - 2:29 PM - by Sunny_
|
So over the past week or so I've been reading articles from most clubs reviewing the pre-season.
Without doubt, the article or interviews mention (at some point) that the players are stronger, faster, setting PBs, all that.
Have many of these players actually become... [Read More]

Would a combined Tassie membership work? |
|
Feb 09, 2012 - 8:12 AM - by Bigeasy
|
Just thinking that the good people of Tassie have to basically buy two sets of memberships to see all 6 games played on the Apple Isle.
Instead of doing that, why couldn't North and Hawthorn work together to offer a "Tassie Pass" membership that will gain them entry to both... [Read More]

Dimma: will he get to 2013? |
|
Feb 08, 2012 - 8:41 PM - by Kwality

Heard suggestion on Melbourne radio that Dimma is in trouble at Tigerland IF the team stumbles in the first couple of weeks of 2012, with a former Tiger circling the job.
Was too cryptic for me, but I couldnt sit & listen.
Is Dimma on the same chopping block the... [Read More]

 Dexamphetamine use in the AFL |
|
Feb 08, 2012 - 8:10 PM - by FarmersWife
|
|
I'd be interested to know how widespread the use of dexamphetamine is among AFL players. As someone who is prescribed the drug myself, I know just how simple it is to obtain and sometimes question whether or not I truly do have the condition or not. It gives me a massive boost and helps me to... [Read More]

How I wouldve run the game.. |

Feb 08, 2012 - 3:44 PM - by Team DJ

So I was thinking the other night how I really cant see the GWS surviving without the AFL holding its hand for many many many years. And started thinking about what sort of stuff i wouldve done if i was in charge of the AFL.

I would pick Jono Brown. Seems like a well respected bloke and plays a no nonsense game of footy.
1. The famous "press" that won Collingwood the 2010 premiership was stripped and defused in 2011. It won't work again.
Tomorrow Name A Games are $10. Normally $24.95
