I'm writing a movie which is a comedy about an Irish kid who gets to picked up by a couple of AFL talent scouts and moves to Australia, despite not knowing anything about AFL. Picture Mick Molloy & Peter Hellier slumming around Ireland looking for talent (in between drinks).

I was just picking my Dreamteam (actually AFL Fantasy through the iPhone app) and was amazed to discover that Mason Cox is in twice as many teams as Pendlebury, and was picked in a massive 40% of all teams! This is pretty amazing for a player who has yet to play a game. For comparison Treloar...
I love ya Maxy but this is a really dumb idea. If you want to go down that path, wouldn't a more obvious idea be to make the goalsquare bigger? It could extend out to the behind posts, and be a couple of meters longer. That would give the player taking kick-ins more options.
What is with the "bruise free" banners that are creeping into our great game? I thought it was bad enough last year when easy-access slits were cut into the crepe paper so the players did not risk injury fighting through tissue. Now Brisbane have gone one better and cut a big-arse hole in it so...

For anyone that has young kids and a kindle (or other device), I wrote a picture book about a boy that wakes up to find a digger in his backyard...it's every 6 year old's dream!

Dear Gillon,
Firstly let me congratulate you on your new role as CEO. My name is Joffa. We have never met but I’m the guy who celebrates Collingwood victory in the gold jacket.
Gillon, I’m worried and somewhat heartbroken at where our game is right now. Let me tell you how important...
WTF? I can't remember a Collingwood v Essendon game within the past 10-20 years that has not been televised, and especially this game with the whole drugs shennanigans there is extra interest in it. bizzaro.
What is it about soccer that turns people into idiots?

Would they do this if they went to an AFL game? (I doubt it).
I wrote this awhile ago for a uni writing course, and just re-discovered it. Enjoy.

Across the red continent fair
A game is played ‘neath skies of grey
Draws thousands strong to witness there
The battle each winter Saturday
Two armies vast in colours bold
They fight to see the...
An article in The Age today by Caro Wilson suggests that Nick Maxwell will not be captain next year. This is the first time I've seen this suggested, is there any validity to it?
Was browsing in the local op shop and I came across this:
What the hell it's only $4 so I bought it. Then I opened it up and on the inside front cover I found this:
Woohoo a signed Barassi book for 4 bucks not bad! Then on the inside back cover I found this:

For the life of me I cannot understand what happened after Ugle took that mark ( 4:25). He's going back to take his kick and he gets tackled from behind??? WTF is that???? He didn't play on he was just taking his kick. Should have been 50m a penalty
