    hird better than carey now???

    Yea, all forwards need to work really hard to find space. Defenders always hold and are always given the benefit of the doubt. Glen Manton is a huge offender - watch him at games, even tho in fairness to him he is pretty useless and must cheat to force a contest, it is a joke he is never picked...

    hird better than carey now???

    So far, Carey has been a better player than Hird no doubt. They are different players, but overall, Carey has been better. To call Hird a soft**** is stupid, and any team would love him on their list. I dont think anyone would play a game with a stress-fracture in their foot. Its a fallacy to...

    Essendon fans - BRAG HERE. It's our time

    where did u end up Dan? By final siren I was smashed, one beer led to another, then the scotch we smuggled in nearly killed me. Flinders park was fantastic, even tho I cant really remember much, but I know I had a good time! I then went to a few pubs here and there, then ended up at the...

    Bad Luck Hawkers

    I was there, and I could only wonder how the hell the Hawks made the finals, let alone beat Geelong. They were horrible, but at the same time still coulda stolen the game. Nth werent that good, but were made to look a lot classier than they were by the ineptness of Hawthorn. The thing is it...

    Has Robert Walls got a BRAIN ???

    Of course you will slip, every team does. The question is has Pagan prepared himself well enough or has tried too hard to get too much out of his current players, that he has neglected the future? When did I say top picks mean nothing? I said that its no excuse saying you dont have a good young...

    Has Robert Walls got a BRAIN ???

    Its got nothing to do with draft picks - there is a thread in process here talking about the average nature of the #1 pick. just as many good players come from down the bottom than up the top. Jimmy Hird isnt a bad example! Look at Green from Melb, just about every club could have picked him up...

    Has Robert Walls got a BRAIN ???

    Exactly, Pagans senior players have only 2 or so good years left - he needs more coming through. Is there a real distinctive group of Joey's (baby Kangaroos) who are set to take over from the Archers, Careys, and Martyns? Because at Essendon we have Hird, Long, Barnes etc with a couple years...

    I played for Werribee.

    whats wrong with playing VFL football? Its not AFL, but you still have to be a good footballer to play VFL.

    Has Robert Walls got a BRAIN ???

    What Walls is trying to say is that North is approaching the end of an era, and Pagan isnt the coach to build a team back up. Pagan has had a great team for many years, and some say he has underachieved, however the point is the current leaders at the club were the leaders 5 or so years ago - he...

    NEW FINALS SYSTEM! good or bad?

    terrible - better for disinterested fans, but terrible for teams in the top spots. There was nothing wrong with last seasons top 8.

    No 1 draft pick..nearly always a dud.

    The problem with number one picks is that usually they go to struggling clubs, and arnt given time to develop. They are thrown straight in too early. Sheedy is a master of keeping youngsters in cotton wool, and when they are ready, then throw them in. The Johnsons this season are a great...

    Women/Wives/Girlfriends causing havoc to AFL players

    G4E gee youve made an ass of yourself on a number of occasions, but I actually agree with you here on a couple points. well sorta anyway, I believe that you will find most people who havnt played the game to struggle with really understanding it. I mean playing under 12's for a year doesnt...

    To Shins, Roylion, Tim. Great moments in the Olympics (and Soccer World Cup)

    I dont believe what Im reading. The GF is such a big event because it is the holy grail for nearly 10 months of work! Thats why it means something. Teams had to strive to make the finals, then lift a cog in cut throat games to get there, now must lift again to prove themselves the best. (Like...

    Dan24 - Why finals are the best (an argument from the heart)

    The Ball - yea, I used the US example as that is the best basketball league going around. I have no idea about other minor leagues. I understand what your saying about soccer, they arnt directly linked. But, as they joined UEFA, they are now linked with the competition - the linked themselves...

    To Shins, Roylion, Tim. Great moments in the Olympics (and Soccer World Cup)

    Dan, obviously you are not the biggest fan of soccer in the world. The FIFA rankings are a joke - hardly anybody gives them any significance at all. Italy are a perfect example, FIFA have them ranked 6th, but 99% of soccer fans know they are in the top 2 or 3 in the world, and have been for a...
