How legit are interstate Brownlows?
I’ve been thinking about this lately and the Grand Final just proved it to me anyway. Look at what Petracca, Oliver and Bont did. Ollie is a great person and player but c’mon, he’s not even in the same class as these game changers. This isn’t about his Brownlow he deserved it this year 110... -
You need three things to win finals and a GF
1) System. the best sides spend all year slowly improving their system so that it can withstand anything possible. A bad quarter. Enormous pressure. An injury to a key player. 110 percent intensity. Coming from behind and still believing you can win. 2) Being battle hardened Teams need hard...- H2F

Port Power once again defile everything that is AFL finals.
I’m not just slinging mud here I am both staggered and pissed off. As a Hawk supporter I’ve never seen my team ever not give their absolute all in a final. Even our losses are usually within a kick and the games are warzones. 119 in a Grand Final still shits me to this day. No team who makes a... -
What are the Sportsbet odds for another Geelong straight sets exit?
I can’t find them but surely it’s a $1.01. it just boggles the mind that this team can consistently get to finals, but blind Freddy can see they just don’t have a system that will stand up to it and win in September. Look at the structures Melbourne are playing with. They might not win every... -
Why are so many people tipping North Melbourne for the spoon?
Almost everyone I talk to is convinced North Melbourne are going to win the spoon. I don’t agree but am stunned it’s such a universal belief. Anyone able to shed some light on why this view is so popular? -
The media's reporting of the 6/6/6 rule change is unbelievably short sighted.
All we've heard from our supposed scholars is negativity towards the 6/6/6 rule change and I am stunned frankly. It's the best thing the AFL has done in my time. The knockers are saying scoring is less (and it is significantly) however that's good. Before people react to this my rationale, what...- H2F

Essendon's coaching structure...
Can someone enlighten me on what it is and how it works? The only description I can find of the roles are below? I have compared it to Hawthorn's structure for comparison. Anyone else find it a little bereft of structure. One could argue they don't need titles they may know their role. Well, I...- H2F

Anyone watching the comedy on Channel 7? It’s freaking gold!

Hawthorn vs Sydney umpiring was a sad sight of the corruption in our game.
Is it bias or cheating? The umpiring in last night Hawks/Swans the most one sided in ten or twenty years. I’m not interested in anyone who disagrees with this because you are wrong. I’ve still woken up this morning angry and ashamed, even though we got the win. There were two sets of rules all...- H2F

Geelong tells the Worpedo to GAGF

Has Brad Hill said GTFO to Freo and come home to the Hawks yet? Serious question.
Just wondering whether he has yet or not? Can't see an obvious thread so maybe he is being kind and waiting until the end of the season. When he does what will Ross say do you reckon? Brad is the reigning best and fairest and the only trade Ross has made that is any good. He also loves it in... -
Our top 3 centre half backs
i pose this question because James Sicily could become one of them. We’ve had Chris Mew and Peter Knights amongst others, but I think Sicily could become our best yet. The way he carries the ball through traffic and then kicks it is something I don’t remember seeing. I personally wish he... -
Our defence
All year I’ve wondered wtf is wrong with our defence. I’ve never seen a Clarko side with as poor a defence as we have. I just checked some stats and guess what. We are last for rebounding from defence. This is on top of how poor we are defending ... amazing we are top 4. Imagine we get that... -

If you hired a team specifically to destroy a club in 5 years, would they be as affective as Carlton
i’m actually not kidding here. How can a football club be such a cesspit of embarrassment? I’m talking about a professional sporting club that has no prospects, no direction and has gone backwards every year, despite receiving the best picks. It’s like losing a game of Monopoly each year... -
The remarkable strategy of Chris and Brad Scott
No one can question the ability of either of these coaches. Both have built a career on sinking a boat anchor into their teams ladder position when they arrive and defying all odds on moving from there. But what strikes me as quite incredible is that between both of these heralded coaches I... -
Is Shaun Burgoyne the best clutch player of all time?
Was chatting to some mates, all neutrals except MightyHawks and they all said Burgoyne. Got me thinking and I can’t actually think of a player who consistently performs when it matters more than him. I’m sure someone will come up with some other names, these are my favourite type of players.- H2F

Dear Dogs ...
I went to the GF with my best mate and his wife is a Dogs supporter. I had one of the best days of my life and saw the most determined team I've ever seen win a premiership. I sat on the fence on the wing and we even were in front of Libba when he jumped on the fence at the end to celebrate. My...- H2F

It's such an extraordinary thing to be so soft that in the last three GF's I've watched two teams target this fairy knowing he will shit his pants ... I've had the privilege of sitting near the fence on the wing in the 2014 and 2016 Grand Finals I can tell you he (on both occasions) shat his... -
Legitimate questions about umpires...
1) Why are they all hamaphrodites? If you watch them the way they prance around without any testerone or estrogen don't you scratch our head. They are all the same too. If you spent a year training you couldn't depict such strange body language and antics as they run around like prancing...- H2F

Hey Doggies fans... I've not felt this emotionally invested in a team outside of Hawthorn. I just watched the last quarter again on YouTube ... What a win!!!!!!!!

Richmond should be relegated.
Reasons: 1) For 30 years they have displayed a consistent level of values that go against fabric of the game 2) It will actually help them. This will never change. It's a systemic cultural infection that needs to be killed off. 3) It will enable a 17 team competition for a while, which would... -
