    ABL 2010/11 Season Thread.

    They better be changing the liquor license. That is ridiculous to confine drinking to a spot where you can't see the game. And what's with the music? Hanson's Oom Bop? Who are they kidding. For a starters let people take drinks to their seats and replace Oom Bop with Freddie King's "Going...

    ABL teams get names.

    Moorabbin? Why would you build a 5000 seater between golf links? It's not even close to a railway station. There's no public transport. It's hardly central. No bars, pubs or restaurants to go to after a game. I thought the team was called Melbourne. Not the Southeast Aces. How moronic is the...

    ABL teams get names.

    If the Melbourne Aces (terrible name by the way) play their home games at Altona then the ABL can kiss goodbye the Melbourne market - the most competitive sporting market in Australia. With a revamped domestic cricket comp being announced this willingness to go down the ghetto pathway will...

    Where will the Melbourne ABL franchise play?

    Cheers Mattys123. It sure has been hard to find on a simple google search.

    One HD coverage of MLB

    One coverage has stepped it up a gear. It might have something to do with the German soccer league and NBL having finally finished up. Or maybe more viewers are interested in baseball than say BMX, Rally Driving and Bull Riding. Anyway, at the moment they are showing about three live games a...

    Hardwick is the key

    It's there for everyone else to see. I always thought the other mods had some balls, some understanding of where we need to go. Shout out to Khan. Dude, take it easy brother. My sincerest condolences. Hope the win brought some sunshine to your door. Hardwick is the best thing that has happened...

    Where will the Melbourne ABL franchise play?

    Just ignore all previous posts lamenting what a shocking investment Altona was for Victorian baseball. Take off the blinkers. Altona is terrible.

    Where will the Melbourne ABL franchise play?

    Altona isn't close to anything aside from an arterial to Geelong. The surface on the infield doesn't even match the outfield. An unmitigated disaster building that thing. Cheltenham (and the surrounding area) is something of a baseball area but it's imperative they play near the city. Even...

    Where will the Melbourne ABL franchise play?

    Cheers Bingles, Jonesy and MattyS. Interesting choice of venue. At least it's handy to get too. Hope it's set up for night games.

    Where will the Melbourne ABL franchise play?

    The ABL has already rolled out part of its marketing campaign online and on Fox Sports. The season is less than six months away. One question remains. Where the hell is the Melbourne franchise going to play its home games? Geelong? Well, its not Melbourne. Altona? An absolute disaster. La...

    MLB Question

    Usalion, How did you come by Australian Rules football? And two baseball related questions: Do you think it's time they realigned the divisions, as they do every once in a while? Who is the best player you have seen perform live?

    We are a bottom 6 side..we are pathetic

    Oh please, go call a waa-mubulance. One game in four, with a good chunk of underdone and missing personel, against a side belted all week in the media. It's AFL, get used to it.

    One HD coverage of MLB

    As soon as you try and do the right thing by ONE they let you down. The Twins home opener against the Red Sox was not telecast this morning as advertised but rather the Cards vs Astros - a semi lackluster affair providing you don't mind watching Wainwright completely outclass a team sorely...

    Joe West rips into Yankees and the Sox

    Quite clearly I DO hate the Red Sox and Yankees. Yes I thought I made that clear in my post. Did it diminish the game? No. That was not the issue. It was a great game. Is West entitled to an opinion especially when the subject is time - the jurisdiction of the umpire and not the players. Ah...

    One HD coverage of MLB

    It took a week or so to get their act together but some congratulations are in order for ONE - providing of course they actually broadcast the games they have programmed as upcoming: TUESDAY Boston Red Sox @ Minnesota Twins. New stadium, excellent pitching match-up. Full house. Lots of Target...

    Joe West rips into Yankees and the Sox

    There is much merit to the comments by West. Yankees and Red Sox believe different rules apply to their inflated egos. The comments were considered over many games and many seasons. I watched the game which approached nearly four hours (over nine innings including a three minute cameo from Neil...

    One HD coverage of MLB

    It was great that ONE HD started with two games. Not bad games too (both the Brewers and Padres came home hard but late). It's disappointing that ONE HD sees fit to broadcast Elite Hoops, absolute junk they must have picked up for about 20 cents of which they telecast during the opening week...

    Major League Baseball backs Australian Baseball League

    Reviving a national baseball league is long overdue. So overdue that it will compete with an extended A-league and a revamped NBL and biggest of all a new 20/20 national cricket league, somewhat modeled on the IPL. Here lies the shortsightedness of the proposed baseball league. Having only six...

    No real scrutiny after Saturdays loss...

    Amazing the level of professionalism TW and his team has implemented. Most of our players can't be allowed to go out on the weekend without a chaperone - and that includes our captain. Communication on and off the field is still non-existent. Deep inside 50 or on the Dandenong Rd...

    No real scrutiny after Saturdays loss...

    Peter Sasse Graum is almost singlehandedly driving the second nail in TW's coffin. The first being the loss to Carlton after his "line in the sand" comments. Wallace should be banned from the media.

    NO BALLS, thats why!

    Tuck is terrible and endemic of the carryover from Frawley. Tuck was good against Port. His involvement in the game on Saturday was minimal. Pathetic like most of our other leaders on the day: Johnson, Brown, Newman. None of them stood up when it counted.

    In hindsight, Eade vs Wallace

    Not true. Eade dismissed the Richmond coaching job pretty much straight away. History has vindicated his decision.

    Nathan Brown

    It wasn't just his poor kicking... Nor his lack of forward 50 pressure... Bad decision making? Not not just that. Here's the rub. Several times our midfielders were surging forward with the ball, in the clear and Brown was trying to play from behind. Wallace even dragged him after the...

    McMahon v Wojcinski

    Wojcinski didn't steam down to the back pocket on the weekend slide into a contest surrounded by three Port opponents, take the ball in one movement, rise to his feet and break not one, but two lines, to repel an almost certain goal in the last quarter - when we were under siege. That was...

    monster ruckman

    Tucker777 wins post of the year - hands down. Simmonds is playing with an injury. No surprise as he has carried most of the ruck load this year against far bigger opponents, who usually interchange with guys bigger than Patto. Don't get stuck into him. He's usually one of the more mobile...

    captain in 09

    Sentimentality doesn't come into the equation when it comes down to captain. I recall Stuart Edwards being a crowd favourite but he wasn't close to an onfield leader, let alone an off field one Richo won the best and fairest last year. The best we can dream of for him now is a finals...

    OX's comments on JON

    Yeah, what's the deal with Meyer? Why isn't he pushing for selection? In fact why isn't he named in the side? Why has a thread originating with David Schwartz generating three pages? Schwartz was a hack. Listening to the guy talk. He's lobotimised. Sake I've just added to the idiocy!

    Any Changes vs Carlton ?????

    Sake! We've gotta start ensuring our youngsters become more consistent at the lower level. Rawlings and McCrae have gotta work harder with these kids. I can smell Schultz. Noooooooooooooooooooooooaaaarrgghhhhhhh!

    Any Changes vs Carlton ?????

    The umpiring in the last quarter against Port was quite simply disgraceful. JON missed out on three definite free kicks he thoroughly deserved. He put his body on the line and did the right thing. Had they been paid we would have won by more and his errors in the first half would be forgiven...
