    Luke Ball does not want to play for Essendon

    By not making one's self available to talk to clubs is perfectly within the AFL guidelines. Why would Luke Ball do so if he doesn't want to play for Essendon? Time is money, and why would he waste half a day at a club he does not want to play for, for free? "Not painting a great picture of...

    Adam McPhee walks out!

    Apparently the final straw for McPhee was the quality of the physio's rubs. Essendon has recently employed an entire new team of trainers. McPhee enjoyed the physios at Fremantle during his time, and that has played an important part in his decision to go back there. Recent studies on the...

    Who would you trade pick #1 in this year's draft for?

    John Anthony? showed hes a pretty handy forward

    The AFL's biggest mistake in 2009

    It started off with a rule change after Nick Maxwell showed some fair physicality, and has been compounded by the recent decision to suspend Buddy for 2 weeks - clamping down on head high contact after a fair bump. The rule states: a player shall be deemed to have committed a reportable...

    Pies Pics from Arizona

    From these pics I don't actually think Reid is looking that much bigger. Also, who is the player standing next to N Brown? And who is the player doing the same drill as Bryan? Cheers in advance

    Cordy v. Vickery

    He played very well. We only lost one game for the year and that was against Geelong College - mainly due to cordy. He would have kicked 3-4 goals whilst playing around the gound. Rested forward and did a lot of damage. I thought he was a lot more threatening when forward. Beautiful kick as well...

    Cordy v. Vickery

    Ive played against both this year, and it is a tough question. Vickery is a better ruckman, however I don't think that he will ever be a dominant ruckman. Personally, i think clubs see him as a potential david hale style forwad (but a lot better, quicker etc) who they think will cause...

    Blues to go TALL in draft

    What would carlton look for most out of talls - backs or forwards? They don't need any ruckmen now, and they have plenty of smalls. IMO they would surely have to look more at backs, for they have Kreuzer (and maybe cloke) to spend time in the forwardline. Warnock will enable Kreuzer to play...

    Who would you rather be drafted by?

    Adelaide - great feeling amongst the club. big support, rich club, good facilities West Coast - similar to adelaide, but as a young player you would be slightly cautious about joining a club with the reputation of its culture Sydney - very well structured club, sydney is a great place. People...

    Should we chase Prismall?

    personally i think his injury has made him a lot cheaper. I think he is definitely worth the punt (i do think it is a fairly well calculated punt though). He would add nicely to our midfield and his best is still a long way off

    Dan Hanneberry

    Sorry mate I honestly thought he was; I was talking to a Xavier mate and he told me his dad played for the pies and that Dan was a pies supporter (so I looked up a Hanneberry that played for collingwood) - he must have been pulling my leg knowing that I was a passionate Collingwood supported and...

    The key to Collingwood's success

    That's why both Reid and Harry O need to both improve. Reid and Brown into their third year, with Harry O, H Shaw, Goldsack, Clarke and Maxwell (and possibly even Anthony) down back as well. I am only comparing the Pies to Geelong and Hawks because I think they are our two greatest...

    Reed Shines in nest of baby Magpies!!

    Just on our rookies, how is Kevin Dyas going? Will he be of AFL standard? Cheers.

    Mark Seaby

    People who are saying that it would be a good idea to go after Seaby so that Fraser could be released into the forward line aren't thinking clearly. We have that many tall forward options next year that it would be stupid to play Fraser up forward. Hopefully Wood can bulk up a bit more during...

    The key to Collingwood's success

    At the moment everyone is hypothesising about different trades and players, however I believe the key to Collingwood success (and I believe if this is achieved we can definitely be a real threat next year) is mainly internal: Ben Reid Harry O'Brien Dale Thomas Ben Reid - In my opinion...
