I'm against the COLA but this is a bit rough

I also didn't realise they were $10m in debt.
We know that the HS...
There are two ways to protest against the AFL's moronic decision to suspend Viney for two games.
The first is to boycott Melbourne games. To me this is not an option because it will hurt our club more than the AFL.
The best way is to boycott the sponsors of the AFL. But you need to tell them...
Is hysterically funny.
The bitching and moaning and whining.
The calls for heads of all and sundry.
It's all good and makes me smile, but the question is, how long will it last? How many games will we win before the other teams realise that we're not the abslute train wreck that we have...
This trade makes me laugh every time I think about it.
At first I knew we won the trade.
Then I saw Pederson play under Neeld and I was convinced we lost it badly
Then Gysberts failed to do anything at North and I came to the conclusion it was a lose/lose scenario.
After Gysberts was...
This kid is rapidly becoming my favourite player and I believe will be one of if not our most important midfielder over the next decade. When the trade happened I had my concerns but I completely understand now why Roos was desperate to get him. I can't wait to see him and Viney working together...
Have to say I love the Perth test, it's easily my favourite. The 'G will always be special as I've been going there since I was little but the bouncy WACA pitch and the doctor coming in late in the day makes for great viewing.
What's yours?
This topic deserves it's own thread because Roos has publicly stated that pick 2 is on the table and he does have a history of trading for players. Also the other threads about us talk about a potential priority pick, I'm 98% certain we won't get it so please discuss it in the other thread and...
It seems that every day that goes by another coach says no to Brisbane after they dumped their club legend because they thought they could get Roos.

Who's left? Looks like Craig and...
I have a natural hatred for both teams but now I find myself hoping that one of them wins it this year.
Freo are playing a great brand of footy and Lyon is probably the best coach going around. Add the fact their 'up yours' to the AFL when they rested half their team to get them cherry ripe...
GWS currently last with 1 win, Melbourne 2nd last with 2 wins. GWS has the better % and the run home for both teams are:
GWS
Dockers (Away)
Lions (Away)
Tigers (Home)
Suns (Away)
Melbourne
Suns (Away)
Dockers (Home)
Adelaide (Away)
Bulldogs (Away)
Looking at Melbourne's games I just can't...
i've heard from several different source, all from high ranking officials working at different clubs that the AFL's worst mo has finally been removed.
This, my friends, is a great day for footy.
You know who I'm referring to.
Terrible, terrible terrible. The only saving grace was the fact that they ****ed it up for both teams.
The one against Melbourne was pathetic, the goal umpire thought it was a goal but the boundary umpire queried it even though he was in a terrible position to make a judgement. the reviewer...
Seriously, the main board is getting more and more like Bay13 every day, it's virtually impossible to have a decent debate without the trolls settling in and ruining it.
A big thankyou to guys like nightmare, quigley, chris25, snoop dog, etc and the mods here who are about the only decent...
As the title says which games are you looking forward to seeing next year and why? Try to keep it to clubs other than your own...if possible. :D
Brisbane vs Carlton - Any game featuring Fevola has potential to be great viewing, afterall he is capable of almost anything - great marks, freakish...

This is getting out of hand, even the Collingwood players are starstruck.
Let's hope MM plays O'Brien on Watts so he can get his autograth ;)

A very touching article about the Bartram family, it's something that will happen to every one of us but not is such a public forum.
Here we are talking about...
Juston Langer was my favourite cricketer for so many years. Not the most talented bloke going around but was a fierce competitor who got the absolute most out of himself.
Onya Langer, bloody devastated you're finishing your career at Somerset but you're still a dead set legend in my eyes!!

ENDURING the worst possible start to a season, Melbourne has finally received the sort of news it has waited on for decades — it will finally have a home back in the city that bears its...
It's now more than clear that this will be the last year for Neitz, so at some stage over the next 12 months we'll have to decide on someone to replace him. I think there are no stand outs at this stage but over at demonland.com there's a push to have Brad Miller as our next captain. Now at...
Historically Collingwood has always been the most hated club mainly due to their previous success and huge following of feral supporters, however in recent years their lack of recent success has diminished their mantle and a new front runner has emerged. Carlton has now strongly firmed as a...
Even though I was shattered that Judd didn't choose Melbourne I just wanted to congratulate you guys on getting him. He's a great player and in a couple of years when Murphy/Gibbs fully matures your midfield is going to be awesome. I hate carlton with a passion but it's great to see you now...
The biggest issue about tanking is the suggestion that a team is actually good enough to win games so they have to throw them to get extra picks, so does Carlton really fit into this category? I'd be more inclined to throw them into the 'worst team of the modern era' category.
What do you...
