I'd go for Wells without hesitation. Stanton wouldn't get a game at Collingwood or Geelong's midfield and Simpson is very underrated but it's hard to put a definitive call on what role he plays. He's a good player but I consider Scotland to be Carlton's 3rd best midfielder even though he...

Do you think the stimulus would have 'worked' in avoiding the recession if China didn't want our resources, which had nothing to do with both parties and their particular policies?

On that basis, Garry Hocking was a superior player to Gary Ablett Snr. Calling Goodes flashy and outside displays your ignorance. He is a great contested mark and his ability to gather the ball at pace and then turn on the jets in a contested situation is as good as the best out there.

That is incorrect. Brodie Holland is also part of the 'Ralph Carr' management team and was on 3AW last night. He said that the new management team will hold no power with 3rd party deals aligned with club sponsors. That like the onfield talks will be handled by David Cloke. The new...

David Cloke still handles his son's onfield contract. I don't know what difference this introduction of new management exactly has on proceedings. Ralph Carr, who used to be on the board of Carlton and was married to Tina Arena, has nothing to do with Cloke's discussions with GWS or Collingwood.

The YouTube clip on him ousting Rudd is one of the funniest sketches I've seen.

Hard to tell. Cloke always gets the number 1 defender. That wouldn't change at Sydney. He would also play a lot of games on the smaller SCG, which could effect the amount of ball he gets. Think it is hard generally to compare KPP players to midfielders. Goodes often has to play as a KPP at...

Goodes would be even better player in a superior team. You put a Selwood or Bartel in Sydney's current lineup and I doubt they would influence games like Goodes does now.

The MCC ejected several Hawthorn supporters for applauding when Daniel Menzel did his knee in the QF. Far worse.

You forgot to mention that they had to carry and turnaround the record deficits that the previous Govt. ran up. There is clear daylight between Costello and the next in this poll. I might be a tad biased as he was my local member but he is the greatest economic poli we've had.

Re: Practice Match Vs Geelong: Krakouer Saw him walking out of Vimy House this afternoon. Didn't have Crutches and appeared to have no limp.

Re: Practice Match Vs Geelong: Krakouer He was on SEN (that is McFarlane), said he was at the game & that is what he is hearing from 'those close' to Krak, whoever they are. McFarlane is one of the better reporters out there, is a Grandson of Charlie Dibbs & is normally spot on with his...

Re: Practice Match Vs Geelong: Krakouer Glen McFarlane is reporting that he will go the LARS method.

Re: Practice Match Vs Geelong: Krakouer Not a lot has gone right for us since October. Maybe it is a bit of karma with Malthouse & Leon. Some sides are cursed injury wise. It was North & Fremantle last pre-season & now it is us. Krak is a big loss. He's a good mark & even better when it...

It had as much to do with the GST as it had to do with John Hewson, who was simply out of his league. Keating mocked Hewson at will as he was an easy target, who decided to change components of the GST owing to this mocking. GST would have got in if they had a leader strong in his convictions...

Paul Keating was never really liked by the majority of voters but he was able to trade on his 'arrogance' in parliament and towards the opposition. Costello was exactly the same, he was as arrogant as they come but he showed absolute contempt towards useless politicians such as Latham, Beazley...

Rudd was lucky that Costello refused to put his gonads on the line and oust Howard. Australia had enough of Howard and he was like the player who should have retried but played on too long. Costello would have smashed Rudd in 07'.

St. Kilda didn't renew his contract. They gave him the grace to leave when his contract expired. As for Eddie, the club recently went to the AFL suggesting that they implement rules that exist in the NFL regarding club officials under contract. This would be a 'pre ementive' strike against...

Re: Labor Leadership Tensions If the economy declines with the flow on effect of the European financial crisis, the high AUD having an effect on the export & manufacturing sectors & the ALP hang on & hit the sky rocket of middle class Australia even more with the increased cost of living...

I really can't understand the fanboi support from ALP voters to Shorten. I've heard him speak numerous times at OX functions, he doesn't really sit comfortably in that set, more an outsider who got an academic scholarship to Xavier. As a compulsary requirement of my employment (I work on a...

It won't end on Monday. Rudd is merely stating that he will not challenge again as he wants to be seen as being able to accept defeat by the public, i.e he can gauge that the public are sick of the infighting and doesn't want to show his hand in that regard easily. In the back benches he will...

More than likely, he is doing his own version of a kamikaze. It's pretty clear he is still stinging from the likes of Arbib, Shorten & Crean and wants to expose them for the oily snakes that they are. If he quits politics and forces the Govt. to fall, the attacks by Gillard and Crean will be...

Rudd has played this beautifully. He is no chance of getting the numbers on Monday but he has exposed Gillard even more than the copious amount of political balls ups in the last 18 months. It will be interesting how far the ALP's brand is tarnished over this. Hopefully the likes of Arbib and...

Re: Tattoo's..are they becoming bogan again You can generally deduce the socio-economic status of a specific geographical region by the amount of inkwork per/captia. Without question, the biggest ratio of this is found on Surfers Paradise, it must be a passage of life there, get the Southern...

Pellegrino's is the best Italian eatery but the major drawback is it run by Carlton supporters. I've been going there for years. If you want the best eatery in Melbourne, you can't go past the MCC Dining Room. Quality food & the seats on the 2nd level allow you to watch the game in absolute style.

52R3Zn3yxe8 Methinks Ziebell's biggest mistake was he didn't learn to bump like the Anvil.

You mean how North's communication dept. were instructed by the Ambulance Chaser to announce their P/L statement directly as the Draft started?

How did Pratt die? Cancer? Guilt over ripping off Australian consumers of millions? Guilt over cheating on his wife & spawning bastard children? I guess Stynes was more successful in his battle with cancer than Pratt.

MacGill is the closest analogy to Cadel imv. Tredrea & Jackovich are more your typical SA/WA loudmouth bogans (there are a lot of those). MacGill is known for his love of wines & the cultured set. Generally he had an arrogance over that compared to say a Shane Warne who liked having a 'dart'...

That is true to a point. Hawthorn played well & you get credit for 'allowing' your opponent to play well or poor to a point. If you go through Collingwood's team, I had only Cloke, Swan, Ball, Tarrant & maybe Pendlebury, who had par games or better. Was it Hawthorn employing tactics that...
