Was pretty happy that Geelong seemed to be playing with 23 men tonight and Collingwood 21. I lost count of the amount of times Ben Johnson kicked the ball straight to a Geelong opponent.
Have never really thought much of the guy as a footballer, but gee tonight he was really poor I thought...
What are peoples plans for their remaining trades. I know most like to keep a few for the finals, but with the injuries this week, I think a lot of people will be out of trades completely come finals time (myself included).
I only have the 2 injury concerns this week with Ablett and...
What are everyone's thoughts on Simmonds? Most teams have him as their 2nd ruckman and I'm sure most are pretty frustrated with him as I am. He is performing quite poorly with an average of 67 and is one of my teams weakest scorers.
Still need to do a little work on my forwards, but I think...
Was very excited when we traded to get Brad Ottens to Geelong. A lot of people at the time suggested that we gave up a very good player in Moloney to secure his services, but I think the deal nutted out was so one sided its not funny. Here we had a guy who was a former All Australian, no 2...
For years Geelong supporters have been putting up with the handbag, choker, hick town etc tags from opposition supporters, mainly due to the fact that we just couldn't win a premiership I would say. Fair enough.
Now that we have done that have we earnt some respect from the footballing...
Just reported on SEN that Leigh Matthews threw a suggestion out there that they change the surface of the sherrin to make it less slippery.
Seems a strange one from Matthews - why would we want to do that?
Skills are good enough already and all that would do is level out the skills of the...
Was looking at my SC team today and noticed I have come down from 8555th to 834th in the last 6 weeks. Am verry happy with my progress, although I would like to be closer to the leaders.
I'm interested to hear how others are progressing. Are you gradually moving up, hovering, going...
Question for M0nty please.
I thought I read on your site that FanFooty live scoring was free this year, but on my team page, it states that only paid up members will receive live scores.
Can you please clear up the confusion for me?
I am happy to pay if it means live scoring, but just...
Hello all,
Not sure if this is the right forum or not, so apologies if it is not, but I was wondering if any else whom is in the domestic dream team competition has noticed that some of the scores are incorrect for this round.
I have Lehmann as captain and they seem to have forgotton about...

At the bottom of this article Jeff Kennett mentions the idea of an independent review of the AFL's running costs. Sounds like a great idea to me. The AFL need to be held accountable for the way they distribute the...
Was thinking about Hawthorn's slide this year and I came to the conclusion that the turning point was when Schwab was seen on national television crying when asked a question by reporters.
I know in this day and age it is supposed to be OK for men to cry, but for mine, when the coach of your...
Another case of incompetent umpires. When they start bouncing the ball correctly, then and only then will players stop running into them.
What is the bloke supposed to do? Stop and give-way to the umpire? And make sure he looks to the right, left and then to the right again before...
Heard Garry Lyon on SEN yesterday morning trying to drum up support for moving the Geelong v Melbourne game to the MCG. He dressed this up by saying that more people should get to see the game, but deep down I was pretty sure he was just trying to gain an advantage for his old side Melbourne...
Was reading an article recently re: Geelong not receiving any free to air TV coverage at all in the first 4 rounds. The basic gist of the article stated that if we want to be on TV, we should start winning games.
Which begs the question - If Collingwood were back on the bottom again, do you...
