These have made using your phone virtually a nightmare now. Anyone know how we can get rid of them? Sorry if this is in wrong place but surely it's an issue for everyone. How did these start appearing and why?

All teams could have had a minimum 7 day break with a sensible fixture. The fixture is the wrong way around this weekend. Collingwood should be playing the Giants Saturday. Seemed very much common sense. All sides get a minimum 7 day. Any reason the obvious didn’t happen?

Does anyone know how they are measuring this new pressure rating gauge they are using in games? How can pressure be measured? Just another wanky American thing that has zero relevance like yardage has in our game.

I am finding it a little hard to get my head around how England and for that matter Australia can go into a Test series such as the ashes with such little preparation playing Red Ball cricket. It's like playing in an AFL grand final and you have not played a game for 10 weeks. I understand that...

I Understand this is not for the main board but can someone tell me where the Current standings, Ladder are for the tipping comps on here? All I see is weekly results but never a overall ladder? Am I missing something? Looking in wrong spot? Can anyone assist please?

The League over the years have called time off for almost everything, stoppages, boundary throw in's etc etc as they don't want time wasted but still we have this stupid situation where players get 30 seconds to have a shot on goal and while they take that 30 seconds the clock keeps running. Why...

We are a reasonably strong list, we have a strong central defence, two big targets up forward and a midfield according to the media which is as good as any teams. So why do we play such a slow reactive brand of footy? We rarely take the game on, we chip it sideways and backwards and allow the...

I am surprised that no one has raised the possibility of having a full 2 round home and away fixture 34 rounds of 9 games played over the remainder of 2020 and finishes in 2021. This could probably easily be achieved and Would be a one off situation caused by the Virus. No premier in 2020 but a...

Read the following article and found it interesting reading, now of course our sport is totally different but the truth is we are probably discarding many good people who have heaps of knowledge way to early. What are others thoughts? Super Bowl winning coach Andy Reid is nearly 62, where are...

One of my pet hates in cricket is seeing replays on whether a ball is 4 or 6 based on where the fieldsman is situated. Now I understand that this occurs because of how the current rules are written and to be honest is clearly a tv stunt to give broadcasters some excitement to show. But I just...

The fixture seems to be one of the biggest bug bares of the AFL according to its fans. There has been many suggestions on how to make it fairer and have more integrity and the AFL itself to this day still seem to be searching for something better. So why not a simple rolling fixture that just...

Gone from leading the attack to not in the mix, got to be more to this. Very strange he has not been selected. Just don’t know where the selectors are coming from with this. Any thoughts?

So another round of fixtures pass and another weekend of fines to fill the AFL coffers for what can only be described as laughable incidents and in fact I reckon MRO Officer Christion was trying not to laugh himself while explaining these ridiculous fines. Not a good look for the game he keeps...

In my opinion the AFL have lost total touch with the general footy supporter. The AFL seems to be tracking well, big crowds, big TV rights, very well trained media and it all looks rosy. But what about the sport itself, this was a sport that once everyone loved and the game itself in how it...

Can someone please explain how a player can be suspended based on outcome as Durdin was last week and the outcome is Rohan is playing today for Geelong? Durdin broke no rules of the sport, but based on an accidental head clash gets a week. Rohan was fine so Durdin should of been given the all...

I was lucky enough this year to attend the GF and had an awesome time in Melbourne and of course made better by the Eagles winning. Was talking to a mate recently about the crowd support at the game and we both agreed it was about a 65-35% split in favour of Collingwood. As we discussed this...

Very funny stuff this. LMAO Victorians plot to negate West Coast’s Optus Stadium advantage for Melbourne preliminary final West Coast's chances of whisking the AFL premiership cup across the Nullarbor for a fourth time must be worrying Victorians as they resort to increasingly bizarre attempts...

I noticed Nat Edwards doing the ground announcing at last nights game, I missed the Richmond v Hawthorn game so don’t know if Willis did that. Has he retired or is it another include the women routine by the AFL. Willis of course can’t go on forever but he is very good in this role. Maybe it’s...

The fine for player infringement seems to be more common than ever now. Sometimes 10k or more per weekend. Does anyone know where this money goes or is used for?

This rule is becoming a farce, while one could argue that the ones paid in the first two games are there according to the law the penalty is just too big. It needs to be changed that the player running through is ok unless he genuinely tries to interfere with the player kicking the ball. There...

Recieved my membership pack this week. Surely they don’t think anyone will wear those ridiculous canary yellow caps they gave us. Probably the worst designed Eagles cap in our history. New logo is cringeworthy. Why not make the caps blue? Anyway fixture magnet is on the fridge, membership pin...

If you watched AFL 360 tonight Whateley thinks the AFL has gone way to far suspending players for the most minor indiscretions. He went on to say the game is a mans professional sport which is the biggest sport in the country and while he agrees the AFL must set certain examples for junior footy...

The more I watch of our game has me at the conclusion there is no rules no more, it is pretty much open slather now. Holding the Man - Does not exist this rule anymore, you can tackle, pull, push any player who has not got the ball and you won't be penalised. Holding the Ball - rarely...

Who would want to be one now? How heart breaking it must be for these guys these days turning up to play and watching the curators shave all grass off the pitch and put no moisture into it. They fair dinkum other than their pay cheque must be thinking what on earth am I doing this for. Now many...

For the life of me I cannot understand how this guy got the position in the first place and since his arrival there has been nothing but failure. It is without question since he introduced the resting of players, the limits to how much they can bowl or train that we have had an influx of...

I know Fremantle wanted or asked for this game but it seems we have the last game at Subiaco in regards to AFL matches. Will we do anything? Now personally I think the WAFL Grand Final should be the send off for Subiaco Oval and the celebration of WA football throughout it's history including...

Fristly I understand the Victoria is the biggest Footy market and understand this is why most Friday nights if not all feature a Victorian side, it makes some commercial sense. But what are the commercial downfalls of having 2 Friday night games every week, 1 for the Vic market and one for the...

Have no idea why but for some reason I think we will win this week, not sure if it is just my head trying to ruffle the ladder a bit but I genuinely think we will win. Nothing logical about, GWS have us covered in most areas. Anyone else thinking like this or should I get my head examined.

As bad as it sounds it is the result we need. Winning playing like this just delays the Club making hard decisions. NN will help a little but is not the answer. We are not out of form we simply have not improved and the other sides will not let us play the uncontested champagne soft footy...
