    The shambolic mess of Opening Round

    After an interesting Round 1 where all teams played, we now have this ridiculous situation where momentum for the season halts to allow byes for clubs in Round 2, 3 and 4. And this is even before discussing the inequalities OR creates in match ups between teams coming off breaks. Its a...

    Moved Thread Sympathy for Carlolton and Essendope fans

    Very hard for their supporters given their clubs have been so poorly run with hope limited I genuinely feel for them. It's been 20 years now while irrelevant. Supporters deserve better

    The renaissance of Old Players

    One of the things I've noticed over the years is the ability of older chaps to continue playing elite football into their mid 30s. Here's a list of players 33 and onwards still at the top of their game 37 - Pendlebury 36 - Boak, Zorko 35 - Dangerfield, Taylor Walker 34 - Rampe, Sidebottom...

    The Premiership favourite- 2025

    In what looks to be a open season with no clear standout team, it will be interesting to see how many teams assume the mantle as the flag favourite Before season began, Lions were outright fave. As at today after 1 game being played the new flag favourite is Hawthorn

    The disgrace that is the Senate

    Why do we tolerate the Senate that throws up unelected swill like Babet, Antic and others including Thorpe who walked away from her elected platform to pursue her self indulgent agenda All these people have views that are important to them but they aren't reflective of the voters and don't...

    Review Winners and losers - trade week 2024

    Departing players and Best n Fairests

    Been some interesting examples last few days of players leaving under Free Agency and how that's played out at BnFs. Obviously these can be sensitive occasions and each players circumstance is different. We've seen Barrass acknowledge this sensitivity but then use the ocassion at the Eagles...

    Summer Olympics 2024 - your highlight - most memorable moment?

    What's your highlight of the Paris Olympics? For me it was Sayas win in the BMX. Never thought I'd say that about this sport, but the back story and family connection for one another was inspirational

    Saturday 4.30pm timeslot

    Is Saturday 4.30pm now considered a new marquee timeslot? Have noticed a few high profile games scheduled then. Personally I hate that timeslot but seemingly others like it given 87k turned up yesterday for Geelong Carlton.

    How many wins do you expect (hope) from your team in the first 4 games

    The first month is critical. Like they say in golf on Saturday of a major you don't win it then, but your certainly can lose it. History shows if you lose 3 of your first 4 you're done. What do you expect from your team in those first 4 weeks?

    Deeefence

    It's embarrassing the pronunciation of the word defence in last few years. Are the sheep that enamoured in American sports that they feel it necessary to change the way the word has been pronounced here for a 100 years. Will the ADF be soon referred to as the Australian Deeefence Force or does...

    Heavy training loads to prepare for finals

    I remember the Crows talking up their sports science fitness program under Neil Craig 20 or so years ago where heavy training and tapering off for finals was considered elite end sports management. More recently Pies losses last 2 weeks have been put down (in part) to the heavy training loads...

    The PwC Tax Scandal

    This has ramifications not only in the immediate term for those facing possible criminal charges at PwC, but also for governments and how they are totally reliant on consultancies for what historically had been a Public Service capability. On a lighter note I found this on PwCs website amusing...
