    Richmond v Geelong at the Gabba: the most bogan Grand Final ever?

    The topic we've been waiting for.

    Aboriginal & TSI Annual indigenous players map is here

    AFLPA has just dropped the annual indigenous players' map for 2020. I'm amazed there's been so little publicity, especially in the current, er, climate. It's intrinsically interesting to see which players are linked by heritage and it's also a great way of connecting contemporary Oz and first...

    Past Daniel Menzel - delisted 2019

    On a one-year contract. And not even in Australia right now - good job-hunting. http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/2018-11-14/sydney-secures-menzel-

    The no-pokies good vs evil guide to finals

    If you’re a neutral unable to muster any enthusiasm for this year's finals, how about following the no-pokies? This weekend’s prelim finalists are an interesting mix when it comes to pokies, from good to trying-to-do-the-right-thing-eventually to outright not-so-good-at-all: West Coast –...

    Channel 7 once again sparing us from women commentators

    If we allow women to call the footy, next there'll be women police and judges and prime ministers. Where will it end? http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/channel-7-slammed-for-lack-of-women-on-afl-broadcast-panel/news-story/3c17f6b9d232abbf656d93b7636b96ea MMM also bravely upholding tradition...

    FTA-TV WatchAFL quality

    What do other non-Oz residents think of the quality of the WatchAFL feed of AFL games. In case you've forgotten WatchAFL is the name of the AFL broadcast site for people outside Australia. It's subscription only. I think the franchise to run the site is a bit of a football itself - seems to...

    Query When did the 50m arc come in and why?

    Does the 50m line have any purpose other than just informatively marking a space? I can't remember when exactly it was brought in, but I'm guessing in early 90s. Does anyone know? What was the thinking at the time? I love counting inside 50s as much as the next fan but I can't think of any...

    Collingwood media diversion bingo

    A game we can all play. April 17. Collingwood lose to Melbourne by six goals. April 18-19. Gary Pert is all over the media to talk about Grant Hackett’s in-flight meltdown. May 1: West Coast smash Collingwood by 10 goals. May 2: Buckley says he will “reach out” to Damien Hardwick (Hardwick...

    Discussion SANFL 1969 Grand Final

    I know it's as obscure as a thread title could be, but having logged into this highlights reel from the SA Football Archive, I was surprised at how it resonates in mildly interesting ways today. * Adelaide Oval is really loud. * Royce Hart, having played for Richmond in the VFL GF the...

    Media Dunce of the Year: We have a winner

    OK, I know it's a hotly-contested field, and I'm willing to concede to a higher level of stupidity, but I'm willing to award it to... ..... Damien Barrett. His two big MDOY plays: * For not only promulgating the ridiculous 'Lez' theory about Harry O's alleged conflict with his club, but...

    Death of the small forward

    Half-forward these days is becoming a place where you play your younger players who haven't built a tank. Why have five midfielders when you can have eight or nine endurance athletes who can run both ways? Healy and Roos made comments on these lines yesterday. Seems true enough as a trend -...

    International broadcast rights: we have a winner

    The global media heavyweight known as Rightster has won the rights to show AFL games outside Oz and NZ. No pricing details, although NAB Cup will be free. It's not on the AFL website. Maybe they're busy. But here's a report from Next Web...

    Classic photo: Queen gets a footy

    The Queen dragged herself away from the laughs at CHOGM today to visit Clontarf College (where Gerard Neesham is doing great things with indigenous youths). And why not? She got a free footy. Any suggestions for captions?

    Australia lose the Ashes - it's the AFL's fault

    Once more the SMH's Stephen Samuelson weighs into the AFL. Footy - but not league, rugby, soccer, surfing or ballroom dancing - is stealing away the country's best talent. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/the-afl-is-to-blame-for-the-alarming-lack-of-newcomers-20110101-19ch3.html
