Just out of curiosity what makes you think Brayshaw, Serong and Brodie dropped a little this year? Brayshaw AFLPA MVP Serong was in the top couple of the Gary Ayres Medal before Freo were knocked out of the finals Will Brodie arguably the recruit of the year and nominee for the AFLPA MVP That...

Freo's list at that stage was actually pretty good. On top of Fyfe, Sandilands, Pavlich, McPharlin, Mundy, Crowley, you forget players like M Johnson, Hill, Walters, Ballantyne, Neale, Mayne, Garrick Ibboston all made at least the All-Australian squad, or had great 4 year stretch Duffield...

Just looking at the title is very misleading. Actually watch the 47 goals and I would break it down like this. 18 were from free-kicks. 7 from general play. 15 where over the back kicks (that is a structure set-up). About 7 were from leading at the ball or contested marks. Its the last line we...

Actually West Perth finished above East Fremantle that year. EF finished second last.

Graham Polak averaged 3 goals a game in 2001 as a under-ager in WAFL league. In fact, he was 16 when he debuted.

Cam Suttcliffe is the real surprise. Not so much the past year or so as he has fallen out of favour. But in the context that as a 20yr old he plays and starts in a Grand Final (Lachie Neale was the sub) you would think that he goes onto have a solid career at worst. How he has fallen right away...

Was a poor display. The hard part is that we are supposed to be supportive and encouraging. However, there are some concerning signs. How is possible that 5 didn't finish the 2km time trial (even allegedly). I think the idea is that we should adjust to the skill level that we have at our disposal.

The women's game has been really positive. The thing is we are not going to see quality football for at least 20 yrs. These girls are the pioneers. It is not until there is a whole generation of girls who have played continuously from Auskick to Seniors that we will witness female football at a...

The real problem is that we as a society give people like him and other 'celebs' coverage in the media on various topics like their opinion has some sort of weight behind it.

Having a very short (preseason) competition is a smart move by the AFL. I really worry about the depth of the playing stocks. The standard of the Melb v WB was pretty good. However, that was the elite of elite. There will be some really ugly football for a number of years with 8 teams spreading...

What goes in the Eagles 1994 favour as a great list was the quality and calibre of players who missed out on their Grand Final team. The following guys couldn't get a game: Jarrad Schofield - Port premiership player Fraser Gehrig - 2x All Australian and Coleman medalist Matt Clape- Carlton...

Bit of rant but could have someone at fox footy spoken to the guest programmers who are choosing the games shown atm and have given them a list of what has already been chosen? Constant replays of the drawn grand final or Geelong and Hawthorn games. Please have a little bit of variety. Also...

Barra (Ch 7) left less than 30 mins into a 2hr + session. Paddy Sweeney (Ch 9) stayed until the end and would have seen Bennell running slowly and Fyfe running after training. Work ethic/due diligence.

I was doing a bit of jetty fishing with my brother about 11pm one night we started to pack up to go home and then Stephen Coniglio rocked up next to us and started fishing by himself.
