    Analysis Alternative to longer draftee deals

    Long winded but I think we should adopt an nba type pay scale . We need to incentivise draftees and players to stay at their own clubs and give all clubs the best opportunity to retain their players. All players and clubs work under the same structure and there is no afl secret herbs and...

    The afl has a huge problem with their draft system now

    Tribunal change- thoughts?

    With all the talk about sending players off right now, it's time something is done about deliberate acts. A send off rule will be a farce given we can't get goal reviews of protected area 50's right. What I propose is a players suspension begins after the infringed player returns to the field...

    Evolution of the AFL player

    AFL players have evolved at an incredible rate over the past decade or so. We have seen mids such as Cripps and bontempelli come into the league as mid 190’s cm players which would have them as key forwards in years gone by. Now we are seeing the rise of the 200cm key forward come into the...

    Willie Rioli selected for eagles

    Does anyone else find this a strange choice by the club. Without bringing past issues into the discussion (they’re long gone and been dealt with) but I find the willie Rioli selection to be a strange one. He gets done trying to cheat a drug test, cops a 2 year doping ban and luckily not to get...

    If the AFL are hell bent on changing the game

    Imo they should scrap the upcoming rule changes and adopt one solo rule change. Score 120+ points and you get an extra premiership point win lose or draw. Surely this alone is enough incentive to keep the game fast and rid it of cancerous gameplans like my beloved swans. Has the potential to...

Being an older unit,it doesn not support hdmi, and all of their entertainment ( foxtel box, tv, dvd etc) all have hdmi only out puts. Is there away to get this hdmi componemts to...

    Generation iron 2

    Just watched on netflix..probably not as good as the first one but still worth a watch. I feel it could improve if it was more of a "day in the life" theme. Following athletes x y and z around and showing their training and eating etc. Aussie boy calum von moger has a ridiculous physique

    FTA-TV The Deuce

    New effort from james franco. Pretty interesting pilot. Set in 1970's new york about local pimps the and their "employees". Very promising, Looking forward to this one.

    What do you actually want from this season?

    Ok we all know this has been a horrible season but there is always positives to every outcome. Lets assume we dont make finals, do you want us to improve our form, go on a a bit of a win streak and just miss out....or do you want to finish as low as possible, take the high pick and reload for...

    Footy I.Q

    Who has the best footy smats in the game. Buddy is very clever with his ball use, rarely makes a bad choice and often sees players open that others wont, howevet he makes horrible choices when deciding to take players on and often gets pinged. For me the smartest player is sam mitchell. He...

    What "stars" could you care less if they play well?

    what "star" players do you believe have minimal impact? if you didnt see the score of your teams game and someone said "gee player x played well against you guys", who would be that player and you could honestly say they had no bearing on your team winning or losing? For me its priddis, could...

    Young players that are not that young anymore ?

    who are some "young" guns that you think are going to be stars of the competition in the future, only to realise they have quietly creeping into their prime without really taking that next step so far. One that sticks out for me is no slouch by any regard is Jack martin. 22 years of age now and...

    Best Bad Kick in the game?

    Who in the league technically has a beautiful kick, looks good off the boot, drops out of the hands nicely, spins perfectly...yet has a tendancy to turn the ball over? JJ from the bulldogs gets a nomimation from me. Beautiful kicking action yet has a tendency to turn the ball over. Who else is...

    Swans list management

    i know im gonna cop the customery " swans board" posts but i think it is worth discussing by like minded football fans. I know the swans have gotten under alot of peoples skin, but their list management deserves a hell of alot credit. At a time where see clubs struggling to retain players...

    Is it time to Give clubs power to trade

    Looking at the messy JOM situation, i think its time to give clubs the power to trade players against their wishes. It happens in most other sports and its time we caught up. Once a player inducates he wants to leave, the club will be able to get maximum and fair value at him. Players just wont...

    Opinion Who should be our next captain?

    Kieren jack and macca have been good captains over the years, however i dont really see the point in having co captains. Imo both are still playing decent footy and have a few years left. However for some reason, i get the feeling they are not the best candidates for the role. Mcviegh is...

    Tom Harley

    Thought it would be good to get a discussion about Tom Harley. I for one could not be more impressed with the job he has been doing at the club. Came straight out of the media and into the gm role and has a very hectic beginning to his career. Starts with the recruitment/backlash of the buddy...

    Afl Cards

    Not sure where to post this, but wondering of anyone collects afl footy cards this year. Are they worth collecting or are they targeted more at children. Is there rare cards etc? Any thoughts would be great

    Is Josh Kennedy our best ever recruit?

    Our club is renowned for turning careers around, however im trying to think of a recruit (not buddy, we knew he was going to be a superstar) that had come from nowhere and has had a similar impact as kennedy. Was a fringe player at best at hawthorn having played 13 games in 2 seasons, no one...

    Most improved from your club

    There has been some big improvers this year and instead of making a thread about who is the biggest improver in the afl (where everyone nominates player from their club) decided to cut out the middle man and get nominations from clubs. For the swans , i cant make my mind up between tippett and...

    Women's AFL-will you watch

    Fair bit of discussion on the main board debating the merits and longevity of the new women's afl starting up next year. Curious to see what sort of numbers will avidly support it. Not talking about watching a game every now and then or if there is absolutely nothing on, trying to get numbers...

    Women's AFL

    Not trolling or not trying to be disrespectfil to the female athletes, but i havnt given the whole female afl a bit of notice. Are the female teams in anyway associated with the clubs or are they purely related by name only? As i said earlier not trying to be disrespectful and havnt paid...

    Perth stadium built for fatties

    Its been announced that the new perth stadium will have wider seats to "enhance the fan first experience". Clearly a thinly veiled attempt to make nic fatanui more comfortable when watching on the side lines.
