Other than to say Sicily is a goose - Im not commenting one way or the other on what should or shouldn't have been the outcome in the Burton/Higgins, Zurhaar/Mirra, Sicily Atley cases. That said, if I was a victim of one of the three Id take Atley's situation any day. Bizarrely however - the...

Cant help but he happy for Xav. First and foremost for the fact hat he has managed to stay fit and get a fair few games under his belt in his time at the Eagles. Otherwise because he has played some fairly decent footy. Leads me to thinking though - as fit as he is and as well as he is playing...

Gary you are an absolute champ of the game. Regardless of the guernsey you wear, you leave no stone unturned every time you take the field. Utmost respect for the above. Just quietly though. If you still have a soft spot for your former club and you want to watch them in a cut throat final, I...

To set the scene. Hodgey played his junior footy with the Colac Imperials. The Imps are in the Colac & District Football League - which is the 'minor league' in the area. The Colac Tigers are in the bigger and better competition in the district (they used to be in Hampden League but are now in...

The AFL boasted that the price of tickets in the first week of the finals were very affordable "starting at $40" The truth is that the $40 tickets were few and far between and only in the back 10 rows behind the goals. As the crowd started pouring in you could actually see the line in the stand...

Apols for clogging up board with inquiry's such as this. When does the club announce details of GF ticket ballot? My memory might be shot but thought it would normally have been done by now? cheers

On the back of the games played by Isaac Smith and Bradley Hill tonight I began to think that they could become one of the best pair of wingers in recent times. I could have rose colored glasses but gee I thought they were good. Keen to hear peoples thoughts on this notion. Keen also to read of...

If you win but still get reamed by the umpires it doesnt seem to hurt as much. Just sayin;):cool:

...would the umpiring be all over the media today like it has been? Would Prickly Mick have been so prickly? The Hawks have had at least 2 games this year where they have been paid half as many frees as the opposition and had many obvious ones overlooked to their detriment then and there...

I'm not into conspiracies, and I am not so juvenile to suggest umps are anti my team, but tonight's game against The Swans was just crazy. How can they get it so wrong?? 11 free kicks in 120 minutes of highly contested footy. How can a team that played so well only get 2.75 frees a qtr...

Check out The Age website. More drugs scandal for Hird and the Bombers. ESSENDON coach James Hird says allegations that he took a drug, which players are banned from taking, during the 2012 season are "horrifying". There is no suggestion that the drug is illegal or that Hird would be in...

Terrific piece in todays age by Martin Flanagan for those interested. Cheers

In breaking news. Geelong hardman, and crap beard wearer, Paul Chapman, has vowed that he will never lose to Fremantle again.:p

Are they going with a ballot for GF tix this year? I might be wrong but hasn't it normally been sent out by now?

..for essendons disposal inefficiency in the first 3 quarters. You can't be inefficient with your disposal when you haven't had any :D

Have you ever seen a crowd so devoid of it's home fans by games end as we saw tonight? Disappointing turn out before the game even began as it happens. Might have been 60+ if at the G. That said, the Bombers just dont seem to turn up against the Hawks like you think they might, especially...

Sure there are plenty of doggy fans angry with Callan Ward, but generally speaking there seems to be far more anger and scorn relative to Scully leaving for money. Yes Scully is earning more, but at the end of the day they are both earning far more than they are worth and they both left purely...

Has got me to thinking that there needs to be a duty of care (somewhere & by someone) with the endless stream of players coming on and off the bench. For all intents and purposes the Adel player was hardly in the field of play when Franklin decided to pass to Breust, then Bang! out of the...

Anyone had an experience with a lost membership - particularly 2 days out from a big game!! How does the club respond? Cost involved etc? They send the bloody things out in Nov if you are on a renewal direct debit arrangement, and I cant find mine nor my sons for the life of me. Love to...

Has signed for what The Pies are prepared to pay him. Apparently he could have got a hell of a lot elsewhere. As such it is admirable that he has stayed. That said, I dont really understand why any club(apart from GWS) would be prepared to pay a key forward who has only kicked 68 goals in...

Dane Swan was a clear cut favorite last year and clearly did not win. Luke Hodge was next fave and highly rated but didn't go near it. Chris Judd won unexpectedly. He only scraped on to the bench in the AA team but somehow polled 32 votes in the Brownlow. Afterwards it becomes clear that...

Excuse me doing this on here, but thought it might help a fellow Hawk. Bought myself a standard ticket on Monday but have since been invited into MCC with a guest pass, thus no longer need it. Ticket is for top deck of Olympic, however, I had just intended to stand on Southern Stand wing for...

What do we think of Eddies latest Collingwood Vs The World hoo ha on the back page of The Age today?? http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/us-against-the-world-20110828-1jglf.html

Anyone else hear on SEN this eve? Not sure who the presenter was, was an unfamiliar voice. Claimed that he had heard that GWS had offered Sammy big $ I'm not sure where his contract is at and I dont think he will go anyway, but he'd be a great get for a new club. Wasnt a big announcement...

When footy is played out of Adelaide Oval? Bulldoze? Redevelop? Sanfl?

In Caros piece this morn re Jeff having a crack at Andy D. " Its true Jeff invited Mike and I to come to Launceston when we attended a very pleasant lunch before the Hawthorn Carlton game earlier this year. But I dont need to defend myself. We cant be everywhere" Andy cant be everywhere...

The league knows the issue. They've told him before to rein it in but ultimately, that's Ray. ''We can smash that out of him and turn him into a robot, but that's not Ray Chamberlain either,'' Gieschen told me this week. Read more...

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/the-game-changer-20110723-1hujv.html Pretty good story on Sam's recent goings on at home in the paper today.

Gday guys. Excuse me for coming on your board. I've had a bet (2 slabs) with a workmate re who Paul Kelly barracks for. I'm adamant its the Crows, he claims the Swans. Can you help me out? (He knows we talking about the musician, not the swans player.) Cheers

When a fan is banned from the footy, be it AFL/VFL/Local etc, can somebody please tell me how the hell this is policed?? Outside of your attendance being discouraged by major league fines I cant see how it can be stopped.:confused:
