Anyone else found the SC site slow already this morning?
I can get on but gee it looks like its starting to struggle...
It could be a frustrating afternoon ahead..
How many trades do you have left?
I have just 6 left, and will be using 2 next week.....
This is a much riskier strategy than I have used in previous years where I would have had about 10 left... But I decided this year to trade aggressively early this year to give myself evey chance by...
Hey guys,
Myself and a Hawthorn supporter are interviewing John Hendrie next week, who played 197 games for the Hawks and was considered by many to be the best on ground in the 76 Premiership team.
Anyway since I was very young when he played, plus I think that Hawthorn fans would have...
Thought I'd get the ball rolling with lockout early this week no time to waste...
Josh Hill, it's been nice knowing you, but its time to move on.
Nick Riewoldt welcome home.
It was my day off today, I was at the gym when the guys came out to train, so went and watched as much as I could.
The most noticible absentee was David Hille - what that means is any ones guess. The rest of the squad besides the known injuries was there (Unless I of course I missed not...
Knights statistically best coach in the league!
Just thought it had to be said...
Knights has a 100% winning coaching record, the only current coach in the comp to have so...:D:D
It Saturday morning, and I must admit it has been taking me longer this season to finalise my team. There is only 5 days to go.
I have just done a quick count and at this stage there are only 17 players out of 30 positions that I am 100% certain will be in my squad. (barring a last minute...

Hi, I don't normally self promote myself on these boards, but I am making an exception this one time - if this show gets higher numbers than normal I can justify to my boss to spend more time watching junior footy next season :thumbsu:
I have made a podcast on the draft, which goes for 58...
Thought I would share with you all a tribute I have written up for the company I work for.

Kevin Sheedy was more to Essendon than simply a coach..
Sheedy is an icon of the game, an icon...
Though I'd warn you all the site as dropped off..(although reloaded a min later)
You risk possible DT & SC sites crashing so be careful if you want to trade in next 15 minutes...
I have noticed that a few clubs have a "player watch".
The idea is that a different posters are given a player to watch for the year. Then after every game he or she posts how the player went etc.
Hopefully by the end of the year you woud be an expert on your allocoted player.
Would there...
Finally we are in the new year, we start afresh.. :)
Looking forward to a BIG YEAR!
*Please note I am only up at this hour due to the fact that I am at work. Thankfully McDonalds breakfast seems seems to have cured my hangover and tiredness due to only half an hour of sleep.

Does anyone know a good website explaining for a beginner how to read a Form Guide?
ie one that explains for the novice what all the different numbers and shorthand represent.
Thanks!
I recieved my membership renewal statement today in the mail. I am an Advatage Member so I am not sure if we get our renewal notice before others since the first payment is taken out on the 28th of October.
What I noticed though is that they have made it a membership for 18 games in...

Bid to put Rama on rookie list

Neither Adam Ramanauskas nor Essendon want to sever their relationship.
ESSENDON has written to the AFL...
Most of us are aware that this year is the 'Super draft' and that the first 20 to 30 picks are the strongest it has been in many years with a lot of quality players. What I am wondering is how good the rest of the draft is and how good the Rookie draft will be? Does having more quality players...
What to do with Rama hey? I hope he does make it back and play AFL footy again at a reasonable level. Personally I would roll the dice, delist him and if he is able to play again gamble that noone else would dare recruit him. Considering he will be starting to move from his mid 20's to late 20's...
