    Kids of past NBL Champion Players

    I love basketball and have played and coached it since I was 6 years old living in Croatia. During the 80's and 90's I was obsessed with NBL, NBA and Euro basketball. But over time my interest in NBL in particular has waned as the level of talent and skill in my view diminished over time (mainly...

    Oppo Camp Brotherly Love

    Joel wrote a puff piece in the Age today about Matther Nights, in it he has a light dig at his younger brother Scooter. "We often joked in Bendigo that my young brother ''Scooter'' (Scott), a mad Richmond fan as a kid who wore his Tigers jumper everywhere, often resembled Matty out in the...

    Champion Data rates WCE as best kicks in the game.

    I do not start threads often but noticed that this has not been brought up on here and figured its worth sharing. Champion Data has over the last two years rated teams on the basis of "hit rate" - which rates AFL players on the percentage of kicks that hit the target based on the degree of...

    Triathlon Thread

    Whilst this is a cycling board I noticed that in "Post your ride" thread there was significant discussion regarding Ironman, 70.3 events etc. Granted that some of this was perpetrated by me but at the same time there seemed to have been significant discussion about this prior to my coming on...

    Brad Smith

    Just out of curiosity does anyone know what Brad Smith is doing these days? Whilst he never played with us I thought that he was one of the smartest forwards going around. From memory it was during his time at WCE that Lycnh played his best football at FF and I thought that part of his...

    F - off Gold Coast!

    This is pretty much what Nic said :) http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/nic-naitanui-doing-the-eagle-ruck/story-e6frf9jf-1225845435911 The thing is I kind of admire that Gold Coast is playing such an agressive recruiting game. What I despise is that AFL has made it so easy for them at...

    Ryan Davis

    I noticed that he was not picked up in the draft and its interesting that he is still listed as one of our rookie players. Is this a web management oversight or is there more to this that I am not aware off? (i.e. was there a last minute deal struck to retain him?)

    Positive Thread!

    I know that many of us will be absolutely pis sed by the performance of some of our experienced players. Rather then dwell on the negatives as I am sure there will be many that will do this for me I would like to acknowledge the following. Kennedy and LaCras! We finally have the makings of...

    John Worsfold appointment as a coach was s******ed!

    There is an article in todays Age that advises Richmond not to discount Guy McKenna as their new coach. The link to this article is below: http://www.theage.com.au/news/rfnews/mckenna-may-be-the-right-guy-for-richmond/2009/06/02/1243708456376.html?page=2 What I found most interesting is...

    Sam Mitchell

    I hope that you do not see me as intruding. I would like Hawthorn supporters opinion regarding Sam Mitchell and in particular Sam Mitchell of few years back when he was just breaking into the team. The rason I am asking this is that on the WCE board there has been a continuous discussion on...

    Saints News At Vineyard

    I was at Vineyard last night and at least 3 Saints (one ex) players were there. Kozi, Gherig and McGuire. Anyway all threee were well behaved though they did like to have a drink or two (as is their perogative during the off season). However, the funny thing was that towards the end of the...

    Rumour - David Anderson to play in NBA next year

    As reported in Draft Express David Andersen- Although he isn’t playing quite as well as he was when we last wrote about him in February (in extreme depth), David Andersen is still having a career year in CSKA, and will be relied on heavily to help his team win one last Euroleague championship...

    Vinne Johnson sacked

    Just announed on ESPN America. Bye Vinne. Not sure if he asked for the Jason Kidd trade if not one cannot help but feel that he is being made into a scapegoat. Mavricks need a real GM to take charge of the organisation or they will waste away the best years of Dirk's career.

    3 Steals and 3 Busts of the 2008 Draft

    Each draft has a highly rated player that ends up a bust (playing in D-League or Europe) and completely unsung players that end up starting (or in somecases becoming All Stars). I figured lets predict who the 3 Steals of the Draft will be and on the other hand who will be 3 Under-achievers...

    No. 1 Pick

    I do not normally start hypothetical scenarios but I was curious as to what others think (and will therefore brake my own rule). If we do obtain the no.1 pick as its currently being mooted what do we do with it? 1 Draft Kruztener (spelling??) 2 Draft Cotchin 3 Trade no. 1 (and 20) to...

    Jeff Kennet Comments about Cousins

    http://news.realfooty.com.au/leave-cousins-alone-pleads-kennett/20070429-a2o.html His view on the Cousins situation and the commissions handling of all the issues is probably just right. Unlike some other counterparts he did not engage into the hysteria and has identified quiet a few issues...

    Mark Murphy

    This guy is my favorite player outside the Eagles. Mature head on his shoulders and a player that plays footy with the passion and courage. He reminds me of a young Ben Cousins in the way he moves (the footy version and not the party version) and he is probably a better kick. It is fair to...

    The Siren!!!

    When it comes to WCE I am a self confessed football tragic. Do not get me wrong I try and maintain perspective and there are number of other teams that I look out for (even have a soft spot for) for instance Carlton (as few close friends barrack for them). However when it comes to WCE I am...

    Trade Bait

    Just wanted to see what are your thoughts about which players do we trade that may have value and which ones do we delist? Players that have trade value: Michael Gardiner - I am willing to bet that someone will give us at least a first round draft pick even though eveyone is saying that...
