    Do people actually think the Eagles' 2006 flag has been "tainted"?

    no way, the grand final was won on the G last september. Simple: Eagles kicked a higher score hence they deserved to take the flag. It can't be disputed that certain players from the west have had a few personal problems OFF THE FIELD but if thats the criteria for a tainted premiership...

    Headland's suspension annulled

    :confused: :confused: well this opens up a whole new can of worms. Good PR stunt by the AFL but it definitely sets a bad precedent.

    The umpiring in Sydney vs West Coast made me physically sick

    free kicks for are easily forgotten aren't they? :eek: I dont think anyone is happy with the general softness and over officiating but to claim that its only for certain teams is a bit rich. Thinking back to a Tyson Stenglein free in a little final 2 years ago and the things mentioned...

    Sydney VS West Coast Eagles !!

    Another one? i guess we shouldnt have expected anything less. Congrats to the eagles, some stars out but they are a quality team that doesnt rely on 3 guys. Swans kicking was off and the eagles bombing 8 goals in a row was fortunate for them. With the history i was surprised we didnt have a...

    sydney must be fav. for flag

    We didnt miss Freo in the finals and seemed get to the GF ok. As for your points on incoming players: Hasleby, Tarrant and Solomon, valid, they should go alright. Yes pav and sandilands are great, but most teams have a few stars they can quote aswell. If that's enough to take the Dockers...

    Cousins to fly to Arizona: 6PR

    What the? why to Arizona? what does Arizona have to do with anything? This is becoming more erratic by the second.

    Should divers be suspended

    I second this motion. How about the umpires just stop paying free kicks to the diver and when they realise it doesnt help them they might just go for the football instead of the free. No reward for diving= changed behaviour. Suspension would be harsh and hard to police. On other topics...

    sydney must be fav. for flag

    The eagles can't replace Cousins, but as is their depth they will still be the team to beat in the competition make no mistake. The mental issues involved should well be forgotten by the time they take to the field for round 1 (which should be a cracking game) so that wont be an issue...

    West Coast, can't you just feel the culture?

    Well they are the premiers, meaning pace setters so it can only be a matter of time before other clubs start promoting similar innovative pre season training regimes in the search for success. Maybe the tension helps to build thier competitive qualities? maybe theyre just trying to pump up...

    Past Players!! Where would they be in todays game

    WHat the ???? i beg to differ. Im quiet sure a fit young lockett would have no problems getting a game at most clubs today. The guy was a freak footballer and fast. Actually most champions would still get a game, they'd just have a different training program and different expectations of...

    How about this for a new rule

    i like the sound of this rule, nothing worse than seeing a guy spread out his arms, then grab his head, then grab his leg and look directly at the umpire as if he had just been hit by a truck just because they were beaten in a contest, THEN jump up within seconds to take the free (im thinking...

    Brisbane to have five co-captains

    i thought 3 for us was a bit over the top, now 5? where's the prestige gone? Why stop there? go for the whole list as captains and make everyone important, pick a new one each round and then when the games on the line every goal is a captains goal! Come on Brisbane, just name J Brown as the...

    Can money buy a flag?

    Not directly, but it sure doesn't hurt your chances. The salary cap and draft has evened things out a bit but the extra money for rookies,the football department and development staff must help cashed up teams. Does anyone know how if "gifts" come under the salary cap, as in houses, trips...

    Most Injured Player...

    difficult one as of course you dont really notice the injuries from other clubs all the time but: Jonathon Brown not really: he was still there for 3 premierships, but in recent history he must have been running under ladders and throwing black cats around. Hird: the swans didnt take him...
