    Matthew Scarlett

    I really don't think it was Scarlo's fault, he just got confused. Poor old Matty has never found himself standing so close to an opposition player on a football field before, he was unsure what to do. His tiny mind was racing, "what's this guy want?" he thought. Our Matty simply...

    umpires pets

    If you are going to push "factual evidence" then Free Kicks FOR would seem to be the indication of who the umpires pets are. Pies finished 2nd last in Free kicks FOR in 2010 Pies finished last for Free Kicks FOR in 2009 Pies finished last in Free Kicks FOR in 2008 But hey, you're...

    Andrew Lovett not guilty

    Yep, no doubt the legal system has some limitations when it comes to these sort of allegations. It's unfortunate that the "victim" ends up being on trial as well. At the end of the day every human being should have enough of a moral compass to not take advantage of vulnerable women (or men)...

    Roast 1st Half Umpiring vs Carlton

    I just get sick of nothing changing and nothing being questioned. We finished 2nd last in Free kicks for in 2010 We finished last for Free Kicks for in 2009 We finished last in Free Kicks For in 2008 We just don't get rewarded. This can't be a coincidence year after year. Meanwhile...

    Umpires and the teams they favour

    I reckon there was a game this year between the Pies and Geelong where it may have. ;) Some teams and players get a better run than others and the umpires should have to account for the reasons.

    Umpires and the teams they favour

    The stats for Free Kicks For tell a story. Pies ranked last in 2008, 2009, ranked 2nd last in 2010. The cats have often ranked high in Free Kicks For, until this year. Seems everybody sooking about them getting an easy ride has made the umps stop paying sympathy frees. So basically the...

    Pies - Arizona rehab/recovery trip

    I get where you are coming from, and it wouldn't be ideal long term for some clubs to have masses of extra footy dept investment. I've got no real problem with salary caps for coaches. However, with the other elements of Football Dept spending there should be no cap. At the moment...

    Pies - Arizona rehab/recovery trip

    But that doesn't happen, There is already an equalisation process through the salary cap and the draft. How much more equal can things be? Looking at further equalisation methods is removing any onus on clubs to actually try and operate like a business. If other clubs want to have equal...

    AFL Women's Week

    This is as far from "left leaning socialistic (sic)" as you can get. This is about branding, this is maximising revenue from every part of the community. The AFL will maximise exposure this week simply by acknowledging that 50% of the population are women. This is capitalism in action...

    Does any one else think the Pies sending Swan to Arizona this week wreaks of arrogance ?

    In our Ear???

    Expansion North tassie deal just announced

    Congrats to north, extra bucks in the bank is a good thing. However, apart from the extra dollars is there really much flow on benefit? They will sell a few 2 game memberships for sure, but playing in Tassie isn't going to get them extra prime time TV coverage, or extra aust wide exposure...

    How much worse can Footscray get? Much worse. The AFL must act.

    The Dimatina name will open doors, the Bulldogs will be awash with cash. Don't worry about that, the Bulldogs will truly be "the family" club.

    Luke Darcy commenting on Western Bulldogs

    Darcy is a biased commentator, no more than Walls, Lane et al, they are all the same. Footy commentators in the main are conflicted by jobs for the boys, appointment to the Rules of the Game Committee, All Australian Panel, Club Boards etc, etc. There is very little independence, too many...

    If Adam Goodes killed someone on the field, would he get suspended?

    May need to change those lenses then. Was it the three love hearts, was that too much, too soon? I knew I should have stopped at 2.
