    Should the AFL introduce a mid-season Trade-Period?

    After seeing the continued trading between teams during the season in the NBA, it made me wonder why the AFL doesn't adopt a mid-season trade period. It would certainly help out teams who are suffering injuries in key positions, whilst it could also potentially give players who are lingering in...

    Is it time for the 9-point rule to be brought into the regular season?

    Personally, I love the 9-point rule and can't help but think it would bring new strategies and elements to the game. Kicking a goal from 50+ metres is a genuinly difficult thing to do, I can't see any reason not to reward a player for kicking the ball accurately from a very long distance. It's...

    Status in Question Karnezis to a Melbourne club as a free agent

    SEN today reporting that Karnezis will go to a Melbourne club as a delisted free agent. Surely the AFL will step in and compensate them somehow. With Longer, Polec and Docherty all looking like going for unders, this is getting sad now. The club is getting reamed.

    Rumour Sewell & Savage to Brisbane

    According to my source: Brisbane receive Sewell & Savage, Hawthorn receive Billy Longer and Patrick Karnezis. It's a win-win imo, Brisbane get compensated for the players walking out on the club with ready-made players of decent quality. Longer is the main player that we want, Karnezis is...

    Rumour Luke Shuey to Melbourne

    My source has told me that Melbourne have offered him a 6 year deal at around 600k a season. There may be difficulties with securing him, as he's contracted. However, West Coast risk losing him for nothing if they play hardball, as he could go in next years pre-season draft. Melbourne aren't...

    Not-a-cluey Riewoldt, Montagna & Fisher to GWS

    It's still in the works, however my source has told me the deal involves a trade for pick 19. St.Kilda want pick 1, however GWS have already committed to Boyd. Excellent trade IMO. St.Kilda are in need of a complete re-build, all of these stalwarts are on their last legs. Even if these players...

    Rumour McGuane to Brisbane

    A close source has told me it's as good as done. Brisbane have a heap of room in the cap, Richmond have basically told him good luck.

    Rumour Rockliff seeking a trade to a Victorian Club (possibly Collingwood)

    Just reported on SEN by the panel that Rockliff is seeking a move home next season (despite his manager stating that he's contracted and will stay). Horrific news for the Lions if true. Apparently the Lions will seek a trade to Melbourne for pick 2, however Melbourne are playing hardball...

    Not-a-cluey Polec to Collingwood

    It's not necessarily over the line, however a reliable source has told me that Collingwood are leading the race to secure Polec from Brisbane. Port Adelaide aren't willing to meet Brisbane's demands, at this stage only offering up a second round pick (pick 31) for the disgruntled Brisbane...

    Not-a-cluey Billy Longer to Collingwood

    It's been circulating for a while, apparently the deal is as good as done (according to a very reliable source). Brisbane will receive Kyle Martin in return. Win-Win if you ask me.

    Luke Breust needs a talk with Lindsay Thomas

    A few years ago Lindsay was undoubtedly the worst set-shot at goal in the league. He kicked a horrific 21.36 in 2011 and was eventually dropped to the VFL to regain confidence. However, Lindsay has turned it all around and this year was one of the most accurate set-shots in the league (finishing...

    Tonight should've been the Grand Final

    1v4 and 2v3 in the Qualifying and Prelim finals. If it stayed that way, Freo would be playing Geelong in Perth this weekend and we'd be playing Sydney. Why does the finals format allow a team that finished 1st have a harder draw into the Grand Final than the team that finished 2nd? Sydney have...

    Are the media over-dramatising the Brisbane situation?

    Brisbane are copping it from everyone in the media over the sacking of Voss and the potential mass exodus of players. Cameron Mooney said yesterday they've become a basket-case and could be the 'next Melbourne' yesterday. David King said that the club was in massive trouble and the current...

    What would you give up for Majak?

    I was having a discussion with a North Melbourne fan, he believed that Majak wasn't quite in the teams best 22 and would struggle to hold down a regular spot next year. If this turns out to be the case, opposition clubs will be lurking. I personally think he has enormous potential and, if...

    Brisbane should appoint Gary Ayres to replace Voss

    Despite the majority of Geelong and Adelaide fans regularly commenting that Ayres is 'a cancer', he's been a sensational coach at Port Melbourne and regularly coaches wins over teams stacked with AFL listed players. His experience at AFL level is almost as good as any of the other candidates...

    Has Scott Watters been fortunate to escape the Mark Neeld treatment?

    Neeld and Watters started coaching at the same time. They both spoke a big game, Neeld went with the hard line approach, whilst Watters told the fans "this club is on the verge of something great". Neeld was harassed and harassed until the damn wall broke and he's now out of a job. St.Kilda are...

    Leigh Fisher umpiring against his old team

    How can the AFL allow this level of corruption? I'm not saying that Fisher was paid off, but he'd have to be close friends with many of the St.Kilda players ffs!! Imagine how many text messages he would've received from Dal Santo, Hayes, Riewoldt, Milne etc. "You'll be giving us an extra man on...

    Shahid Afridi just had the best individual ODI performance in history

    Pakistan Vs West Indies Pakistan bat first, have a horrific start being 5-47 in the 21st over. Afridi comes into bat, proceeds to smash the West Indies attack all over the park and finishes with 76 off 55 balls. The tail wags a bit, and Pakistan finish on a competitive total of 224. The West...

    In retrospect, Daniel Rich or Chris Yarran?

    Carlton have made some horrific draft choices over the years, none bigger than Kreuzer over Cotchin and Kane Lucas over nearly every player drafted after him in 2009. One that hasn't been mentioned at length was the decision to take Yarran ahead of a highly rated Daniel Rich. Whilst Rich isn't...

    Would Cameron White get a spot in the Bangladesh team?

    I personally think he wouldn't make the Bangladesh team. He's become an absolutely pitiful cricketer who only makes the news when he's making controversial comments surrounding other players. His batting has become so woeful that i'd send Mitchell Starc ahead of him. His spin bowling is barely...

    Jared Brennan "nearly gave it away"

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/151937/default.aspx He probably should have too. Has been absolutely hopeless for the Suns; provides poor leadership, lacks discipline and makes crucial mistakes. One trade the Lions would smile at.

    Chris Mayne Season 2012

    Question for the Guru's; Was Chris Mayne's 39.7 for the season the most accurate by any player to kick 30+ Goals in a season?

    Talented players who weren't given a fair run by the Coach/Selectors

    Beau Wilkes showed on the weekend that he can play some seriously good footy. Granted, he played against Melbourne, but to kick five goals against any team in this era is a decent effort. IMO, he has had one of the harshest runs from any player in recent memory. He seems to be getting subbed...

    Carl Lewis: Disgrace

    Has once again publicly claimed that Usain Bolt is on roids. Incredible to think that a guy who tested positive to banned substances three times during his career has the nerve to slander a guy who hasn't tested positive once. Hypocritical much? I'm glad Usain has come out and spoken strongly...

    Collingwood bringing out the worst in Sydney

    We all know of the ten game streak the Pies have against the Swans; what isn't often documented is how insanely one-sided nearly all of those victories have been. For whatever reason Collingwood seem to bring out the absolute worst in Sydney. But why is this? Pressure? Mentally weak? Bottom six...

    Players who looked far older than their actual age

    As the title suggests.. Bruce was 34 when this photo was taken! Looks 60+ Wayne Harmes was in his late 20's at the time of this pic.

    Ahmed Saad kicking at goal

    Takes up to (and sometimes over) 60 seconds to have a shot at goal, yet the umpires have never called play on. Whatever happened to the 'Matthew Lloyd' 30 second rule? It could cost a team a chance at victory if he lines up a shot with over a minute left and chews up 60 seconds of playing time.

    Jared Brennan

    What an absolute joke of a footballer. I'm not exactly sure what the Gold Coast saw in him, he folds under pressure more than a first-gamer and gives away some of the most undisciplined free kicks at costly moments. I couldn't think of a worse leader in the AFL, money wasted by the Gold Coast.

    Sabine Lisicki You Star!!!

    What a performance from the young German. Took out the trash in style!!! One of my new favourite players, she's a really humble and down-to-earth lady with an incredibly amazing serve!!

    Collingwood's small forwards

    How good have the pies been at developing gem small forwards in the past few years? With consistent small forwards so hard to come by, it's incredible to think how effortlessly they've recruited Jarryd Blair (a rookie draft selection), Alex Fasolo (a mid 40's draft pick), Krakouer (a freebie...
