    All-Krypton: the team to beat the All-Australian team

    There are some serious structural problems with the 2012 All-Australian team. It looks beatable to me, based on those problems. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to construct a team to beat the AA team to highlight these issues. B: Josh Gibson, Tom Lonergan, Corey Enright HB...

    Any chance of North fans apologising to Caro?

    I realise this is a rather thankless exercise, but I thought someone should point out that Caroline Wilson has been right all along about something that North fans have been pillorying her for: James Brayshaw has been rather tricky about relocation to Tasmania, or as it's called now...

    Fanplanner 2011

    I have opened the Fanplanner feature on FanFooty for 2011, to allow fans to start planning their squads for next year's major comps with roughly accurate prices and positions. Next year will include a lot of changes to Dream Team and Supercoach, of course, not least of which is the shift from...

    Top 8 ladder going into 2010 finals

    After reading that "form ladder" thread, I had a thought for a ladder that might be more relevant going into finals, which consisted solely of games during the home & away season between top 8 teams. W% refers to winning percentage, where a draw is counted as a half a win of course, and the...

    Barlow's toughness: good call Wallsy

    On OWAAT tonight Robert Walls made the best call of his illustrious and storied career. His point, though I don't recall the exact quote, went like this: Have a look at how Michael Barlow tried to stand on his broken leg on the weekend. We should send that video to the diving, flopping...

    AFL Insider and AFL 360

    Two new Fox Sports shows, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm. Reminds me of the old days of Fox Footy Channel with original programming every night. AFL Insider looks like a bit of a southern version of NRL Tactics, hosted by Jason Dunstall and Alastair Lynch. AFL 360 sounds like a Footy...

    Andrew Demetriou, the $1.8M man

    From this story on afl.com.au, AFL defies global pressure: Given the weight of figures in the rest of that story, it's hard to argue that he's not worth the money. There was a lot of angst when Demetriou's salary hit seven figures for the first time, but is there anyone out there who still...

    Coaches Box podcast live tonight 10.30pm

    Time to crank up twenty ten, my friends. We are STOKED. I had to blow the wilds of Geelong on my white horse with only enough crack material to distribute to my NT mates. In their absence, Molly and I shall have to give our respective grams of wisdom to you lot. We shall be freebasing from...

    WSYD A-League western Sydney team to use St Kilda colours

    Sydney Rovers - Official... Statement by bidder Ian Rowden Now I know there's no monopoly on colour scheme, but the above logo for the new Sydney Rovers club in the A-League, to be based in western Sydney, uses exactly the same red-white-black combination as the St Kilda strip. So far the...

    Structural separation of Telstra and the AFL

    The reforms announced by Communications Minister Stephen Conroy today which will most likely lead to the structural separation of Telstra - meaning, among other things, the separation of the wholesale and retail arms of the company, including the divestment of its 50% interest in Foxtel -...

    If the AFL had awards like the Dally Ms

    I hadn't really looked at the Dally Ms - the NRL's version of the Brownlow - before in depth, but I was interested to read that they give awards for each position. There's a bit of this goes on with the AFLPA MVP awards, but not to the same extent. So let's see what you lot would choose for...

    AFR article on next TV rights deal

    The Financial Review published a big story on the next TV rights deals for AFL, NRL, A-League and Super 15. Some interesting stuff on there, including details of an AFL deal that has already been offered and stymied. The full article is not online and I'm not going to paste it here for...

    Leapster gives Triple M some larry-do

    http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/rfnews/verbal-pantomime/2009/06/28/1246127428721.html Leaping Larry makes the point that Triple M's A-team of Brayshaw, Taylor and the rest are skating into Rex Hunt "listen to the fans" territory, and may be similarly reined in with falling ratings indicating...

    Expansion The AFL's 2011 fixture for 17 teams in 24 rounds

    The AFL appear to have sent a flag up the flagpole to see if anyone will salute with today's article in the Herald Sun, AFL weighs up 24-round season, which addresses the need to insert 11 more games into the season to accommodate the 17th team. This is the key passage for mine: My first...

    Chickenboner Spirit

    Kudos to Peter Jeffries for coming up with this gem. I declare "Chickenboner Spirit" the wittiest jape of the season. This has got legs. I beseech the football public to give this little bon mot the wings it deserves. Perhaps if we all act as birds of a feather, we can pluck this phrase out of...

    Apparently he's playing for Hawthorn this weekend in Berri, along with half a dozen other players not on any Hawthorn list. Luke Breust, Ed Curnow, Beau Dowler, Sam Gibson, Sam Iles, Haydn Kiel, Steve Kenna, Josh Kennedy, Luke Lowden, Lukas Markovic, Ben McGlynn, Lachlan McQueen-Miscamble...

    O'hAilpin 4 and Maxwell 3 weeks from MRP

    http://afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=71892 Looks fair to me. The only inconsistency is that Setanta has to pay his dues in the regular season, while Maxwell can serve his suspension in the NAB Cup. Doesn't seem quite right, that one.

    AFL clubs and Internet marketing

    Tucked away towards the bottom of a fluff piece on how well club memberships are going on AFL.com.au today is this passage: Is this really true? What did Collingwood do that no one else was doing? I know Eddie had a hand in that company Sportsview that at one time had some of the internet...

    FanFooty Fanplanner 2009 (v3)

    Time for another Fanplanner thread, v2 is almost at 1000 so we can't have the BF servers croaking. We could get to 5 or 6 by the time the comp starts!

    FanFooty featured on A Current Affair

    I will be appearing on A Current Affair tomorrow night. No, it's not one of those shonky businessman hidden camera jobbies! I was asked by Google to be interviewed about the Google ads I have on FanFooty. There will be a teensy bit about fantasy football, hopefully. I got interviewed in the...

    2009 tribunal carryover points

    Since the cricket wasn't worth watching, I've compiled a list of tribunal carryover points for the 2009 season. Let me know if I've made a mistake anywhere. BTW, why doesn't the AFL publish a list like this every week? It shouldn't be that hard to put on their web site.
