    Mega Thread AFL: No Trades (READ OP)

    This is from the AFL's Media Release: "As such, it had now been decided that for the 2015 exchange and trade period which would lead into the final season of the COLA phase-out period in 2016, Sydney would be allowed to lodge a contract offer to any potential trade-option player or free agent...

    Adam Goodes 'big announcement'

    Can't be bothered reading through all the rubbish on this thread to see if anyone's actually been speculating as to what the announcement will be, but my guess is that it might be to do with the proposed new preamble to the constitution that will recognise Indigenous Australians as the first...

    Resource Official Request Thread

    Hi, I coach an Aussie rules team in Finland and we're after a bit of help with a promotional poster to stick up around town. What kind of design? rectangular promotional poster Personal use or business related? for our team to advertise games and training sessions Design brief: A poster with a...

    Discussion Question and Answer Thread

    Hi, I have no idea if this is the right place for this question, so if it's not I apologise. I'm involved with a fairly new footy team in Europe and we want to design a promotional poster to stick up around town to advertise our games, but the problem is we don't have any contacts with the...

    Swans intra-club match

    Thanks GTS. I'm interested to see how he goes, cause with the Swans' stacked forward line he's one that might really struggle to get senior games unless there are a lot of injuries, and he doesn't seem to be the type that is likely to play on a wing or through the middle. I've also heard...

    Opinion Ideal 22 in season 2014

    With LRT and Tippett in the side there should be enough cover to make sure that 1) Pyke gets the rest he needs, and 2) Tippet doesn't have to spend too much time rucking. I agree with those that suggest that Tippett's most damaging as a key forward and should only be in the ruck when needed...

    Swans intra-club match

    For those that have seen the game (I can't seem to access the full replay, only the highlights) what were your thoughts on Membrey?

    Opinion Ideal 22 in season 2014

    With an elite midfield you can play to a losing ruck and still win your fair share of clearances. Then there are also teams like Geelong in 2013 who weren't so fussed about winning the clearance as they backed themselves to force a turnover at the next contest. If Pyke goes down it will hurt...

    Opinion Ideal 22 in season 2014

    Solid team, but I'd swap Mitchell and Rampe for Shaw and LRT. I'll never understand why people don't rate LRT, he's been a first choice player since 2005 and has hardly put a foot wrong since. Watch the last quarter of the 2012 GF and tell me you wouldn't want him on the field in a big game...

    Major Issue for 2014

    I don't think Swans fans are alone in their dislike of the way he goes about his work, I have plenty of friends who barrack for other clubs who groan when they see that he's been allocated to their team's match. It's not so much the occasional bad decision that irks me, as all umpires make...

    Opinion Ideal 22 in season 2014

    Interesting that most people seem to agree on the best 24 (the squad Crackers listed minus Cunningham), it's mostly a debate over who fills the bench spots and the emergencies. If all 24 of those guys are fit to play it will be a horribly tough call on who misses out. You would think that it...

    Brandon Jack Article

    I think the confusion with some of the comments concerning violence rising alongside population growth might be to do with mixing up total numbers of recorded incidents with the number of incidents recorded per capita or per 100,000 population. It would be reasonable to assume that if a...

    Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) - Discussion

    I'm a Swans supporter so my heart says that the SCG is the best place to watch football, but this is mostly because of the memories I have of games there and the fact that it feels like my team's home ground. It does have an electric atmosphere when full and the Swans are playing well (and let's...

    International Cup 2014 - with teams listed as confirmed in OP

    I think the Irish are a separate case and should be viewed as such because Gaelic football is quite similar to Aussie rules meaning they have a distinct advantage when learning Aussie rules. I agree with you that a post-season match that put a genuine Irish team versus a state league team would...

    International Cup 2014 - with teams listed as confirmed in OP

    It does seem to have worked in the rugby league context, but the main issue with it for me is that the relative development levels of Aussie rules and rugby league internationally are so far apart that it's very hard to compare the two. Many of the teams at the RLWC featured squads made up of...
