I've got no problem with any of them.

I don't watch much of these post-game shows. In general, repetitive and rather dull. However, Leigh Matthews is always worth a listen, and I do rather enjoy Jimmy Bartel. Much better than many of the others.

Sorry mate, but you've got no idea. You're judging him purely on a few incidents on the football field when he was in his 20s. Don't "suspect you were right", you were wrong.

The whole idea of drafts and salary caps were for equalisation. However, the AFL has never been less "equal" than in any other time in history. And it will get worse each time they add another franchise and more academies to the list.

Jordan Lewis? :)

That takes me back to the Sydney v Hawthorn clashes a few years back. We play in Sydney, we have to wear white shorts because of the "clash". What clash? However, when Sydney came to Melbourne, suddenly there's no clash and they wear red shorts. That's AFL thinking for you.

So we're pretty good then, eh?

There's no denying how much he's given the Eagles a lift in the short time he's been there. No moping, homesickness bullshit like we've seen from others (not naming names unless the name is hyphenated), Reid has just rolled up his sleeves and got on with the job. I think he's going to be a...

Yep, I'm asking the same question. How bad ARE we? The Suns are a very ordinary team and they thrashed us!!!!

Burgoyne's knee wasn't "shot", he was rehabilitating an injury at the time and was always going to come good. Essendon weren't involved. He was having some problems at Port Adelaide, an incident involving his brother, and decided he wanted a fresh start in Melbourne. He actually contacted one...

Stats don't interest me, especially in the contemporary game. Far too many easy and meaningless possessions. In the wet is where the real skills are shown. Anyone can handle a dry ball.

Yep, it's amazing how many in the modern era have no idea how to play wet weather footy. You have to get the ball onto the boot and force it forward.

All the media crap about a team can't make the finals if they are 0-3. Collingwood and Brisbane are about to put this nonsense to bed.

There is such a thing as a mute button. When you're at a game, you don't need commentators, so why do you need them watching on TV?

Mate, your team got belted after being 6 goals up, and you think it's the umpires' fault?

But I thought Collingwood were gone. I know because the experts in the media told me so. :)

I'm usually not big on predictions, but I have a feeling this lad will be the best #1 pick the AFL has seen for many years.

They waste enough time with reviews for goal umpires who are blind as bats. I saw one last night where it was so obviously touched ahead of the line, not on the line, but ahead of the line, and the dopey goal umpire, who was right there, wasn't able to make a decision. Why do we even have goal...

No, but I've got plenty of him holding up premiership cups.

Essendon 17-4 against us, 10-18 last night. Annoying.

A coach lives and dies by his team's performance. The beauty of footy is you either win, or you lose.

And that message is, one week we're good, the next week we're crap. When we play ordinary teams, we look "top four material", other times we're just among the many who try.

Most accurate statement I've read so far.

Do they have a mercy rule in AFL?

It's one of the reasons us "oldies" aren't as enamored of the game as we used to be. Personally, I like my football on a Saturday afternoon. After Thursday nights, Friday nights, Saturday nights, by the time it gets to Sunday at 4pm, I really don't feel much like footy. As for this game, if...

It was actually Cousins who brought it up, but they glossed over it very quickly, obviously under instruction not to go there. I agree with you about Molloy, I stopped watching the show last year because I was just fed up with him. Enjoyed last week with Richo and Lemo, I don't find Sam as...

It's been like that for many years, not only in football.

The show exists because two of their favourites have just retired and they have to find something for them to do.

A bit like the Hawks getting pick 19 for Buddy Franklin, the best player in the competition, to enable him to go to Sydney? Didn't see much Vic-bias in that decision.

I had a laugh the other night, I decided to watch Front Bar because Mick Molloy wasn't there, and they had Matthew Richardson instead. They showed some snippets of him stuffing up, and they also showed full backs running off him to create opportunities. When asked why he didn't chase, Richo...
