The Punter 2011 AFL Draft Fixture - Part 1
Posted by The Punter

Well, in my imposed hiatus, I've been doing a few things, including my annual attempt at creating a fixture that is better than what the AFL will eventually throw up. This is my 2011 effort.
For the uninitiated, you can find my previous attempts below.
2010 Draft Fixture
2009 Draft Fixture
2008 Draft Fixture
Obviously, the job was a little tougher this year, to... click here to read more...

How Not To Do It
Posted by JamieJohnstone
- 24 Jul 2010 03:14 PM - 10 Comments
I am not going to offer judgement on whether the Bulldogs should have got rid of Jason Akermanis. Already, the footy world is divided into Team Aker and Team Aker's A Flog and no matter what I, or anybody else says, minds are made up and not going to be changed.
But what I am going to comment on is the truly extraordinary way that the Dogs have stuffed up the handling of this whole scenario.
For a start, why in God's name did Campbell Rose go on The Footy Show? Rose has enormous respect in the footy world for what... click here to read more...

Now Luke Darcy is out saying that the Doggies would have won a flag in the late 90s had Terry Wallace listened to players.
Is there some sort of concerted campaign within the club to derail its' focus on the 2010 goal.
If I was someone senior at the Doggies I'd be writing a letter to every past player, official and employee telling them to STFU.

ES Surface concerns - solved |
|
Jul 30, 2010 - 2:01 PM - by Gaz_Brownlow

Play at Skilled Stadium. Best surface in the competition and available on request.
Furthermore, clubs will stand to profit more from these games due to reduced stadium fees....its not rocket science.
Definitely Geelong vs Carlton Rnd 21 should be moved from ES to SS, considering it is Geelong's home game and Carlton have explicitly stated their concerns over the surface. Would be great to finally enjoy a proper 'home' game against Carlton who seem to never have... [Read More]

Surface inspections on the day of the game - What's the point? |
|
Jul 30, 2010 - 12:53 PM - by ManWithNoName
|
THE surface at Etihad Stadium has undergone a final inspection ahead of tonight’s St Kilda-Essendon clash.
The turf has been under fire all week, with Carlton CEO Greg Swann calling it a "blight on our game".
This morning, a group of 10 including the AFL Players Association’s Ian Prendergast, Saints football manager Greg Hutchison and Pat Cunningham and Scott Taylor from the AFL.

Have you ever interviewed an AFL player, CEO, supporter?.
I recently interviewed Shannon Motlop Shannon Motlop: Premierships, racisim & life after
I also interviewed Darren Parkin from SEN. I have interviews coming up with Chelsea Roffey (goal umpire) and Cameron Luke (SEN host).
Have you ever interviewed anyone? Tips? What are good things to ask?

Stop stuffing around with the rules of the game! |
|
Jul 30, 2010 - 11:10 AM - by huwcar

The latest proposed changes to the rules of the game include a possible cap on interchanges and a shortened time per quarter. Not to mention the (sometimes weekly!) changes to interpretation of the rules of the game that have been in place for decades.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
We DON'T need to constantly tinker with the rules, the game is already great.
Rival codes around the world DO NOT tinker with the rules constantly like we feel the need to.

Shorter games...what the? |
|
Jul 30, 2010 - 2:36 AM - by TempleKelvington
|
Read an article that the AFL is looking at reducing the length of games by as much as 15 minutes.
They claim it's something the fans want? News to me I hate it when the quarters end and the game is over. I never sit there and think gee this is dragging on.
The other point they make that the game length is too demanding on the players. Which is funny when you think, they make all these rules to speed the game up creating this extra demand on the players and then they... [Read More]
