I might be misunderstanding your post, but could you please point me to the AFL rules of the time that stated that Geelong could take F/S picks in the 3rd round, yet other clubs had to use the 1st round?
With or without Anzac Day?
That's where all the problems started with the fixture IMO. Scrap the blockbusters and bring back an even draw and I'll be happy. What is an even draw? It's a difficult one, but a rolling draw I think is the fairest way to go - either that or go to a 17 round...
North supporters may or may not overrate their players, but if I want some info on a player from North, I think asking their supporters is a good start given that they watch them week in, week out and sometimes I don't get that luxury. It is obviously biased, but so is anything I say about...
Thanks Tas - appreciate the time you spent answering my query. I hope he turns into the champion you guys are hoping for.
Best of luck for the upcoming season to the Kangas.

I don't even think we played particularly well in many games this year, yet managed to finish a game from the top 4. Hit our straps and anything can happen. I wouldn't have said Sydney were premiership...
The difference between Franklin and Hawkins was that they both had the chance to win the GF for their teams - one did and one didn't. Franklin is obviously a great player, but his kicking really lets him and his side down. Those out on the fulls must be so demoralising for his teammates and at...
Biased also, but what about Varcoe's from last year? Was not as close in the end as the other matches but just a brilliant goal which pretty much ended Collingwood's chances. One of the greatest goals I've seen in a grand final.
