Mumford late withdrawal?
Just announced by Luke Darcy that Mumford must undergo a late fitness test due to a hamstring complaint and could be a late withdrawal. Massive blow for Swans if true. Jordan Lewis must be doing cartwheels.- FoxC

Moved Thread 2012 flag Hawthorn's to lose
Cats and Pies lost players to retirement and injuries and this weekend got thrashed by teams outside the top 8 last year (full credit to Richmond and Adelaide, who should both push strongly for a finals spot, they play exciting and attacking footy). Their older players look old and tired, their... -

Moving stories involving Jimmy and Moons
Haven't seen these stories posted anywhere so here they are... We get upset and sometimes, I admit, downright depressed when our team loses, but really it's just a game. There are plenty out there who are doing it very tough, and it's harder to take when they are children. Jimmy and Moons... -

Copy Cats to counter cluster
AFL coaching staff should look beyond last year's Grand Final scoreboard in an effort to counter the ugly brand of football that's been served up in the NAB Cup. That's the view of 1988 Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy, who says the 2009 trend of copying Hawthorn's rolling zone is a "sheep... -
Paul Chapman set for midfield role
Geelong's Paul Chapman set for midfield role Scott Gullan | February 04, 2009 12:00am AN injury-free Paul Chapman as a midfielder. It sounds too good to be true for Geelong fans. But that's what could be on display in a couple of weeks when Chapman makes a rare appearance in pre-season... -
How much hurt are you feeling right now?
For me today's meeting had been a long time coming - a chance to avenge the '89 loss to the Hawks. A chance to prove that 21 wins out of 22 this year was no fluke. A chance to show that our club had matured beyond the inconsistent, 'handbag' tag so often associated with Geelong teams of the... -

Geelong vs North grand final?
