    Demons Drug Crisis - Why not the same scrutiny as West Coast?

    Seemed like most Monday mornings the emails fired around of Cuz and Gardy out of the town. The cameras may only have been 1 mega-pixel but they still worked. Videoing in a dark club would have been almost impossible though.

    Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

    He forged a 271 game AFL career from being very good at knocking ruck taps to his feet and that's about it. Sounds like he's got a fruitful NBL career ahead to me!

    Wrong Place, Wrong Time

    The usual way they dealt with players who were better than them back then. Whack 'em when they weren't looking.

    The average age of our crowd, they have tiny bladders and need to be tucked up in bed by 8pm

    The Chris Lewis "players who lost it a few years early" thread

    Wellingham was one of about 5 Eagles who turned up on grand final day 2015. The trade was two hours of football away from being brilliant. Just ask any doggies fan about Boyd and they will tell you he was worth every penny in the end.

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    Spot on. This weekend was a big improvement but it was evident that "prior opportunity" was being recognised by how long the umpire gave a player to dispose of the ball AFTER they were tackled. Once they get their head around the PRIOR part they can get on with blowing the whistle much faster...

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    Starting positions. Minimum numbers of players i50 at all times. Anything that looks to restrict player movement. It's unnecessary and it fundamentally changes the game. In my opinion.

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    Every suggestion with zoning as its core principle I strongly disagree with.

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    You are arguing like the core rules have't already been bastardised in their interpretation and application.

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    I need to have a think about this. It's the kind of simple change that could have far ranging repercussions..

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    They may be applying the ruling consistently which is good but I think you will find many believe the current interpretation of "the rules" is deeply flawed and is contributing to a congested, mauling play style rather than a more open, skill based game.

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    Depends...the changes I mooted will be adapted to by the players pretty rapidly. It will change the game style - the objective - which will lead to free kicks moderating in turn. So a player one out, controlling the footy without taking possession would be the kind of execution of football...

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    Well now we have tried it both ways and I much prefer the guy making the play to have the opportunity to do so. The defender can still bump and push the other bloke off the line of the footy, he just can't tackle/hold/drag down. In the old days running next to the footy, refusing to pick it up...

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    I think the reduced numbers crowd have the wrong end of the stick. It's the belief that stoppages and free kicks slow down the game that is directing the game where it is. Reduced numbers aren't going to help and will only push the game further away from a footy skills base to an aerobic...

    Roast State of the modern game; Clarkson

    The Umpires simply need to play more free kicks from the perfectly good rule set that is there. Be clear on possession of the footy - blokes are constantly being dragged down and held before they take possession of the ball. This is starving us of seeing great players in possession. If you...
