    Summer World Cross Country Championships Bathurst

    https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-cross-country-championships/bathurst23 One of the Worlds biggest sporting events on today in Bathurst. And it's not the Motor Racing. Can't believe we don't have a thread. Sad that Aussies are so indifferent to such a massive event...

    Junior Masterchef

    Surprised no one has made a thread yet. Amazing cooking skills shown so far. Some of the dishes look restaurant quality. And I mean a nice city restaurant that you would find in the Good Food Guide. So far the challenges have been fairly straightforward which I think is good. It gives the...

    Adam Somyurek: ALP factional warlord

    https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/secret-tapes-carpark-cash-drops-ministers-threatened-inside-victoria-s-stackathon-20200614-p552gs.html Interesting story. Politics is a nasty business and it sounds like he's one of the nastier characters.

    https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/us-buyers-ready-to-pounce-on-australian-teams-says-investment-banker-20200404-p54h2f.html Could we ever see an AFL team brought by a US billionaire? Would the purchase be allowed by the AFL? Would the purchase be allowed by Government noting the Government has...

    2018 Rucks

    Apologies Mods if it's too early for specific position discussion. But ruck looks like being a real make or break position this year. Many of us will start Gawn and Naitanui. But what do you do for R3? Especially if one misses for 1 or 2 weeks? Is there a cheap R3 who is guaranteed to play...

    Trading great players in and out - curse or blessing

    We lost Buddy - and got almost nothing in return. Except a few flags of course. Crows lost Dangerfield in a one way deal (and Tippett). Plus they had to deal with draft penalties. Now Adelaide (win or lose next week), are amongst the best 2 sides in the comp with a promising list. Would they...

    The AFL coaches that broke your team

    I know we have a vent thread already. However how about a special AFL coaches vent thread and poll to discuss which coach wrecked the most SC seasons this year? Was it Bevo - Made Dahlhaus a SC irrelevant player (except sadly for the 90% of coaches that already had him), teased with Mitch...

    Preseason (Training/Teams/SC Scores)

    I thought we could start a thread linking to club training reports. Can be a useful reference when researching players particularly if you want to see if your breakout candidate is tearing up the track or trying out a new role. Hawthorn...

    Players who aren't training the house down

    As per usual pretty much every player in the comp is having a great preseason and is a lock for a huge year in 2017 - if you believe the reports coming out of each clubs media unit. From your knowledge who isn't training the house down. Not the guys who are clearly injured or are being nursed...

    BFL - Beer Football League

    Inspired by one of the greatest athletic endeavours the Beer Mile, I propose an AFL equivalent. Normal 4 quarter game, 22 players, each team must use at least 60 interchanges per quarter (240/game). Any player going to the bench must down a pint before returning to the field. Which club wins...

    A weekend of thrashings

    A pretty dire weekend of footy. Brisbane, Essendon, Freemantle and Richmond all lost by over 80. Have they all put the cue in the rack for 2016? Will this be the norm for the rest of the regular season given the top teams are chasing percentage to get the best possible place in the 8? Or...

    Clarkson a good shot for coach of the year?

    Yes I know it's a long way to go in the season but he could finally get it this year. It's a pretty open field and surely he'll attract some goodwill votes in a close race since it's a farce he hasn't won before. There's no team that's jumped miles up the ladder in 12 months - except maybe...

    Hawks lodge bid for AFLW team in 2019

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-12-20/crowded-field-in-push-for-womens-licenses I would have expected the Hawks to be pushing for a licence in the inaugural league - we have the financial resources and are normally very future focussed. Should we be embracing this initiative? and are their any...

    Players that are paid under fair value

    We hear about players who are paid overs for their output. Buddy, Tippett, Boyd, Scully are in this discussion. But what about the opposite? Considering the importance of managing salaries tightly under the cap is essential to clubs who want to maintain a strong and deep squad to support a...

    Stars playing injured - smart or stupid?

    A lot of the AFLs top players seem to be running around well below 100% at present Rockliff came back quickly from injury, was clearly not fully fit when he came back and eventually rebroke his ribs. Watson and Joel Selwood seem to be down on form and both have niggles (not even sure what...

    AFL bans coaches from walking to the hotel

    Jack Newnes appreciation thread

    With apologies to Chuck Norris and his many fans Do you realise that Jack Newnes didn't actually put on 6 kilograms this off season? Instead Newnes altered gravity so that everyone on earth is now 6 kilograms lighter. Some other interesting Newnes facts... Jack Newnes doesn't care about...
