    Roast The Non Goal: F*** the AFL, court injunction?

    So it was a clear error and the system would have worked if the error was not made. Gil doesn’t get it that the problem is that the system is wrong if it allows a clear error to occur!

    Coaching roles for Ben Hart and Matthew Clark

    Not a good move in my book. We should be scouring the league for the best people for the job with fresh new ideas. I think that the culture that you move off the playing field and into the coaches box based on the success of your playing career will hinder our future success. It took...

    The Official Neil Craig Thread

    Re: Is Craig accountable? Neil Craig's attitude reminds me of this quote by Benjamin Franklin; "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

    Biglands or Meesen?

    I am sorry but Meesen just does not do it for me. He may have skill and he may be able to run all day but there looks like there is no sense of urgency to his game at all. It is all too casual. He reminds me of Brett Chalmers and gives the appearance that " oh well I didn't get that ball...

    Goodwin Penalty - confirmed

    Apparently the AFL offered Goodwin a $20,000 fine but he chose to go "double or nothing" and ended up with $40,000.

    BASS botch it up again

    BASS botch it up again

    I am still waiting for my AAMI stadium Ultimate memberships which I paid on December 10. ( I have already checked my mail for today and they were not there). When I rang the SANFL to organise temporary tickets for Friday night they said that although they had been assured by BASS that all...

    Foxtel wins in AFL carve-up, we loose games

    This appears to be in line with society's current standards (where everything is "user pays") with respect to the Crows and Power games. A relatively poor example but eg If you want to be in a position to be able to have elective surgery then you pay for health insurance. If you choose not...

    Foxtel wins in AFL carve-up, we loose games

    The point is they won't be live. They will be on FTA but with a delay as is also stated in the article "Foxtel could get exclusive access to as many as four home games from each of the two SA-based clubs in each of the next five AFL seasons. The pay-TV network also would demand that these...

    Foxtel wins in AFL carve-up, we loose games

    I am also reluctant to believe that all Crows and Power games won't be on FTA. I think they will be on FTA but with some home games shown on delays of up to 3 hours so that the AFL can appease fans by saying they are all on FTA but maximise the commercial value for Foxtel.

    Who was at our first official AFL game?

    I recall being stuck in the traffic along West Lakes Boulevard listening to the cricket ( Perth Ashes Test). When I joined the queue the Poms were 2/something. By the time I parked the car they were all out.

    Foxtel wins in AFL carve-up, we loose games

    While it is fun to speculate lets wait for the finer details before we draw too many conclusions. I am sure that the delay for showing games on FTA will be a factor. ie the games at AAMI live on Foxtel against the gate will be shown at a 2 hour plus delay and the twilight games will be on...

    End of the road for the Crows Dance Team

    I always enjoyed the introduction of the girls in the early days. They were introduced as "talented and vivacious" or was it "vivacious and talented".
