The main difference here St.kilda (which has nothing to do with this thread) defeated Gold Coast this year twice. It was an exercise in percentage boosting. Richmond should belt a team full of teenagers, regardless of where the match is played. If my memory serves me correctly the Tigers were...
No, the Richmond football club would have totally expected to be playing finals this year. The Tigers have had a couple of decades to do the developing. Richmond would be playing finals if they decided to not chase after the almighty dollar. The exact same thing happened last year too.
Turn it up. You can keep living in your fantasy world and keep thinking that. Once again i'm not hurting, that would still be the Richmond team and all of thier loyal, long suffering supporters.

AFL is still a minor sport up north, don't get too ahead of yourself. AFL is expanding very slowly, still not convinced all the money that is getting flished out that way. Well for us actual supporters, I enjoyed Richmond throwing away their finals hope for the a few bucks.
It will do minimal to promote the game up north. Rugby league supporters will state it looks good for the NRL, as it shows AFL is an easy sport to master, even for someone who is new to the sport.
No chance - what kind of role model would he be for the young players on the list? This is more complex than being a player on the list. An assistant coach has to lead from the front, both on and off the training track. Judging by recent reports, it looks like Ben still has a very lengthy road...
That is completely on the money! Those three players you listed there will most likely fail to keep their spot on the main list for 2012. Well theoretically that should be the case, you never know what the coaching panel is thinking and planning for next year. Those three have had numerour...
North Melbourne will play a handful of matches per season in Tasmania, along with Hawthorn. That is a strong enough presence for AFL in Tasmania, with no other sport coming close to challenging it popularity wise. There is not enough money in Tasmania for an AFL club full time, the state's...
Not good:( Well the exciting part is they can promote a younger player to the seniors. For some reason I have a feeling Ledger will get overlooked again.
You are forgetting something - AFL is a predominantly a Victorian sport, along with a few other smaller states. Where are you going to plonk the new teams? In the two northern states AFL is a minor sport? You would not want to reduce the current number of teams, as that would have a negative...
Some people must be on mind altering substances to even think about a third NSW team. The next 100 years will be about consolidating AFL as a sport in Sydney and attempting to create two teams that can stand on their own two feet.
Hodge is that forgotten footballer and captain. Ablett is still number one for mine, very hard to evaluate the list on a specific ranking for each player, whether it's based on footballing ability or captaining ability. A massive laugh for the poster who placed Hodge at number one.
Geelong just showed a lack of respect against the normally uncompetitive Suns. They need to focus more time think about playing decent football and less time hanging out on the Gold Coast amusement parks.
North Melbourne vs. Carlton - by 36pts (44k)

I have two questions:
1) Where was this intensity last week?
2) Why was Simpkin ever dropped?
Isn’t it great to see Wilkes playing as a forward, not a defender. Great to see the Saints playing some exciting football that is passionate
