    Being on the waitlist is the age-old dilemma of you wanting your team to do well, but that when that happens, the waitlist moves slower. You want the team to bottom out for a few years so that older members aren't as inclined to hold onto their seats and the waitlist speeds up.

    AFLW Daisy Pearce - New AFLW Coach

    To be fair, you can say that about every single person who's never had a head coaching role in their time before, including our past two premiership coaches.

    Nice to hear, they're a good bunch.

    Not sneaky in the slightest. Membership renewals are always for the memberships you finished the previous season with. Can you imagine the furore if they removed memberships from someone's account without notice?

    I don't see the issue with the Compensation pick

    So let's say club A doesn't lose anyone to FA because its list management is under control. Let's say clubs B, C and D all lose marquee players because their club's list management isn't ideal. Clubs B, C and D all get compo picks in the first round, while club A - who did nothing wrong in...

    Podcast NFL Podcasts Discussion

    His ESPN contract doesn't run out until September, so I'd suggest that since he's still being paid by Bristol, he won't be appearing on any media format until after then. His HBO deal didn't necessarily mention that he'd be doing podcasts for them, so hopefully he'll be able to pod from...

    Best Father-Son combo.

    He had a very good career, but isn't it a bit of a stretch calling John Kennedy Jr a superstar? If he's a superstar then we'd have to create a new term for about 10 of his teammates because superstar wouldn't do justice.

    WCE v Adelaide Crows - Images for the ages: Vale Walshy

    Couple of other things from after the game that I'm not sure the cameras showed: While the crowd and Eagles were applauding the Crows off the ground, Luke Shuey ran over to the boundary line to give Rory Sloane a hug and chat to him before he went off. The umpires actually lined up in front of...

    Nah mate - gave up in the end. Not enough time to do anything much these days :(

    Greatest AFL photo ever taken

    The length of suspensions doled out to players has nothing to do with toughness.

    My new Eagles blog

    Well, it's been a while but I'm back with two posts today. There's my look at our Round 1 loss and then there's an open letter to Jimmy Bartel. No, Jimmy's not an Eagle (dammit he could've been), but it's an issue that's close to me and I felt the need to have a chat to him.

    2015 - AFL Round 1

    Hi guys, I had a piece of paper mistakenly chucked out on me yesterday that had the line bet values for Saturday's and Sunday's games taken on Saturday and Sunday morning as well as straight bet odds. Has anyone been awesome enough to keep this data as well and can share it with me? Cheers!

    Bruce Springsteen

    So the next live cab off the rank is another of the all-time greats: The '4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)' was previously released on the Live 1975-85 box set (and ranks in his top 5 live performances of any song, ever), the 'Merry Christmas Baby has appeared on a number of Christmas...

    Bruce Springsteen

    Cracking 'She's the One' as well, and the guitar duelling on 'It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City' is insanely sweet.
