    When they write "The story of the BF Crows Board", what chapters would you like to see in it?

    I'm still flat after Alice Springs, so here's a distraction from the usual Burton/Hass/Mookay/Pyke/Jenkins/missed the premiership window stuff ... ... when the story of the BF Crows Board is written (and it will be, because it will be a blockbuster), which highlights will feature? Which...

    Face-Off: Round 21 v the Bombres

    Ah, Essendon. They’ve given us some of the best memories in our AFL journey. That 30-goal game in 2006 with Kenny kicking the 30th as the final siren rang. That 96-point win in a final at Footy Park. Giving us back Greg Anderson. There are no bad memories of playing Essendon. None. Nada...

    Quotes from Scotty 'Odges new book

    Saw the excerpts in the Powertiser this morning. Good on him for putting his story on paper and as a footy book junkie, I'll read it. And while most of it was stuff that confirms what we thought at the time, there are some interesting quotes that I wasn't expecting: Like most people, I always...

    Could we love Eddie Betts any more than we do?

    After seeing this video, yes we could. Love the fact the little fella is belting out the club song as he runs through.

    Just a stat about our forward line

    It seems our forward line is potent, but I was looking into just HOW potent it is. Over six rounds, we've gone at 134.3 points a game. I was wondering how that stacked up to previous Crows sides. Turns out I should have been looking at all-time records. If we keep that up (and yes I know it's...

    Our AFL women's team - the first year by the stats

    What a season by the Crows women's side. Exciting play, guns in Phillips, Marinoff, Perkins and Randall, and now a GF beckons. This year's stats: As a side 2nd in kicks 2nd in disposals 3rd in tackles 1st in marks inside 50 1st in contested possessions 1st in goals scored Our players in...

    This could get interesting ...

    You can argue about the ethics/morals of their position and subsequent decision, but in 2016, with all the goodwill they've built up about their female cricketers, this is brave (or borderline stupid). Thoughts? Is it fair enough? Or is it a decision that is going to backfire on them...

    Fixture bungle: one game in 29 days

    When I read this article, why did I just know that the club in question would probably be us? http://www.news.com.au/sport/breaking-news/the-agenda-has-turned-to-the-coaches-favour-in-the-gettogether-with-afl-chief-executive-gillon-mclachlan/news-story/8e67d1992191a29be4161f67977cc39f

    How to fix the AFL media

    So today Mark Stevens has given a rolled-gold guarantee that Dangerfield is already at Geelong. This from the bloke who gave us his assurances that Cloke was going to Carlton for five years, Travis Boak was signed at the Cattery, Alex Rance was traded to Cambodia to dig wells for orphans - or...

    Are players who retire selfish?

    Surprised there wasn't a "Kane Cornes retires" thread on the MB, but anyway ... Congrats on a 300-game career Kane. Looks like he'll pull the pin and head into the Fire Service. In light of that, several articles have popped up saying he's selfish for walking away. Add this to similar...

    FACE / OFF: Adelaide vs Richmond, Round 21, Sat night August 16, 7.10pm

    Playing for the Torney-Johnson Cup (formerly the Paul Bulluss Trophy) V Before we get started on the Face / Off, let me point out something that may shock you. Sit down first. Grab a drink. No, something stronger. You’ll need it. Richmond are the form team of the competition right...

    ICC reveals full extent of global corruption

    http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/matchfixing-icc-report-reveals-full-extent-of-global-corruption-20140517-zrfqd.html Apart from the comedy gold that sees the ICC eventually realising their game is corrupt beyond belief, what I find staggering is that India is positioned to take over the...

    Our Chairman

    Genuine question: no axe to grind, I genuinely don't know the answer. What has Rob Chapman brought to the AFC in his role as Chairman? I mean in tangible terms, not just 'a wealth of business experience'. Before I jump up and down about removing the bloke, I'd like to know what he's brought...

    Hey ICC, how's about you focus on the real issues?

    Just saw the headlines about Johnson and Stokes being charged by the ICC. * me sideways. :rolleyes: Jeez the ICC is tough when it comes to the small issues. But match fixing, illegal gambling, sub-continental bookmakers, Indian corruption ... they're all sweet. Nothing to see here...

    Massive name re-signed!

    Sorry guys, it's Mark Bickley. Given a two-year extension according to the numnuts on 5AA. My only hope is that it's two years doing ANYTHING else rather than be forward coach.

    Quote of the millenium

    Brad Crouch, just on 5AA: "Adelaide's a bit like Ballarat, which I like. I don't like Melbourne. I've been there a few times but didn't really get into it." jizz.jpg

    Adrian Anderson to review integrity

    ... for Cricket Australia. :eek: http://www.cricket.com.au/news-list/2013/2/20/anderson-to-review-integrity I wonder if the UCI cycling head is available to run them through how to keep drugs out of cricket? And this quote just confirms for me how much of a nuffie James Sutherland is...

    Billy Bowden - annoying poser

    Would we have delisted Chris Knights this year?

    Because that's what the AFL was saying. By giving us zero compensation, they're saying we would have effectively delisted him because he has no trade value. We've lost him for nothing. So do you think we would have delisted Knights if we couldn't have got a trade for him?

    The AFL media and social media

    Just listened to BT on radio this arvo and he trotted out the standard AFL media line that they hate social media because it's a platform for 'flogs to say whatever they want'. Are there any AFL media talking heads that like social media and have said so publicly? (It's a given that AFL...

    Quick question re tickets for today's game v Richmond

    Hi guys. Quick question: are you able to upgrade two season tickets (on the eastern wing) to the Northern Grandstand? How do you do it and how much. Never done it before - sorry for the noob question. Cheers.
