Excellent post and all the best with getting it back on track. Have been having similar thoughts of giving bigfooty up of late, it's becoming a bit much of an addiction. Life and in particular work is extremely busy (work away from home for weeks at a time). While I wouldn't say it directly...

Kelly made some massive improvements over the last couple of years - put on plenty of size, but got a lot fitter, before that was a WAFL reserves footballer (albeit a very good one).

I love the fact he gets the opportunity but would temper expectations considerably. Bowling in a test match is a whole different ball game to one dayers as many other excellent, aggressive short form spinners have discovered - ask Hogg, Mendis, Narine etc.

Never understood the lack of confidence Cameron has in big Simpson, they always seem to play better when he is there winning the ruck. Certainly going to give you a better chance than Lachie Keefe. They've been smashed by injuries, but been an exceptionally lacklustre season so far from the...

Yorkshire skittled for 50 on the first morning, yet at the close of day one the game is evenly poised after they returned fire bowling Essex out for 150 and are now 2/161. Ducks for both Cook and Root in the first innings. Funny game is cricket.

Getting close now :) The Irish have picked their inaugural squad: http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/23401683/ireland-bank-pace-debut-test-pakistan

Personally would prefer English both now and into the future, but Darcy is pretty good too.

We've had a couple of excellent years lately, so that is a big call.

Have heard a theory that early days (when he was draft age) he wasn't willing to give up motorcross. Honestly don't know the whole story though, probably more likely that AFL recruiters weren't a fan of his size and limited athleticism but geez his performances over a period of five or six years...

When Langer took over as WA coach you probably were saying he was too similar to Tom Moody to change anything. Quality person with vast experience in successful teams over the world who will drive discipline. I like Ponting and Gillespie, but Langer was the clear call to be made.

To be frank the article kicks it out on the full completely missing the point that their move back to Moorabbin is a good one for reconnecting the club back to its community - which has underpinned a lot of the goodwill and trust amongst the supporter base required for us to be exploring...

Is it though? Do you remember the aggressive circle-jerk from the media and public when they took back the Ashes in the 13/14 whitewash followed by the South African tour and culminating in the following years World Cup? There was active celebration about "Get ready for a ****ing broken arm"...

Cox was so good around the ground that his ruck work has become seemingly under-appreciated. I don't think Kerr, Judd and Cousins would forget the platter he helped serve up to them each week though.

No it shouldn't have. Richmond's punishment was perfectly adequate and Broad was clearly remorseful and embarrassed. Drew attention to the issue on a societal level and the backlash set a pretty clear standard for young men as to what is acceptable..

Sokol is an interesting one. Very Brett Ebert / Ben Saunders like in that he is an undersized key forward with great goal sense and an awesome kick on him. Pace, agility and pressure I'm not quit sure is AFL-standard yet, but has taken some big steps forward and really established himself as a...

After a mini-meltdown in WA over the state of the East Perth league side, they've bounced back superbly in the past couple of weeks. While the usual experienced suspects in Hutchings, McGinnity, McInnes and Blee are leading the charge, the Eagles kids are slotting in around them very nicely...

The 18's program hasn't kicked off yet has it? Everyone is still with their clubs so is a pretty reasonable list to post I would've thought.. Might just be perception but does not seem as many under age kids playing up in the league this year.

Norm is a massive stretch. But like society there are going to be people involved in the game who are within the tentacles of illicit substances. And just as in society we're prepared to overlook these problems if there is a hint of the glow of success in their chosen field or social network.

I like the concept of the NGA's and the NSW/QLD academies as they are successful ways of improving the quality and quantity of young footballers developing through growth areas or from backgrounds where they may not have got a look in. Less keen on the idea of zones, which I suppose is a bit...

Simply put, this year no bottom end clubs are going to consider risking that kind of public backlash with the hype of the quality in the draft. I mean Collingwood last year traded their future second for Sam Murray and the whole world just about fell in. Those first few picks become...

What a bizarre, ill-informed and factually incorrect little hissy-fit. 1. Adelaide Oval requested an India test, I am sure if you asked for a Sri Lanka test you would have been accommodated 2. India obviously are not here for Australia day, they'll be back at home by then 3. The crowd at AO...

2.40pm is standard, traditional afternoon footy, not twilight. But I do agree with the thread would hope to soon see Friday night footy being played at the new stadium. And whilst I have always liked the 5.30pm timeslot for WA Saturday night games (early-ish finish works nicely IMO), I know...

He improved a lot over the course of 2017 and has continued to take some steps forward this season too. Good on him, style of play as a medium power forward reminds me a lot of Stringer or Crameri.

Because the girl involved went direct to 7 on the advice of a friend.

Only place you'll find more moping is the main board and repeated individuals in this thread. The same whingers have been banging on their soap box every year for as long as they've been around.

I get that what happened with Powell-Pepper is frustrating, but putting it aside on face value it seems the Lyon incident was resolved as appropriately as it could be given the context (smart arse, insensitive comment at a function). Sorted out satisfactorily between the parties rather than...

Frankly this is the dogshit post of all dogshit posts by yourself

Dunno how accurate it is but had heard on the grapevine that Josh was keen to move to Adelaide next year and finish up with Subi to further Taj's development at Port.

Embarrassing post above. Don't know what it is that compels miserable mouthbreathers like that to jump in on any positive news. Great to see him break through for a game so soon, only saw bits and pieces of the game but doesn't look out of place in the snippets he was involved.

"Even the likes of Topley" He's 24 and has been diagnosed with stress fractures in his back on four separate occasions. What exactly do you expect the poor guy to do when he is only expected to be ready later in the year after his most recent setback anyway :$
