    Rumour Gaff to Melbourne with a side trade

    The deal is effectively signed off on. Gaff to Melbourne on $1.2M for 5 years with a side trade to WC of a very promising young mid. This trade facilitates a smooth transition. Gaff's manager is in Perth this week to finalise the details with WC. Me met Melbourne end of last week. Evidently it...

    Post North - On The Couch - a concise summary

    Mike - Eagles top the ladder of shame - bumping the tigers who were not as well rated by him The Chief - midfield not as good as was thought, delivery to forwards kills us and Priddis is the only star in the midfield. say no more

    Vlad on 360

    With issues confronting the AFL that are substancial and have relevance well beyond the domestic code, what do we expect from tonights interview. Real journalism of a tame performance from the AFL home media. I expect Robbo to be further exposed as shallow and without courage. We shall see.

    Mega Thread Game Destroyed - This is the one and only thread on the Main Board re Eagles vs Cats Umpiring

    Eagles hang on, football is the absolute loser after the umpires absolutely destroyed the integrity of a sporting contest. Completely disgusting. Both clubs must be wondering -

    Ruck Interferance

    Umpiring, it was once said, is best judged by the maner in which Holding the Ball decisions are dealt with. Across all games of late it is difficult to decifer if and what laws are being applied. There is an absolute lack of consistancy in contested situations. To this end I was not surprised...

    The gap to a premiership

    Ok, the GF is done and dusted. We have played both finalists and seen the outcome. What is the gap between our 2011 output and a premiership. For me it is the following in no particular order: A big marking dominant forward Bigger bodied midfield Disposal up another notch. A...

    Do carlton only play well aginst bruse free football?

    West Coast beat Carlton well and truly even though our forwards butchered many opportunities in a Collingwood like performance. Our defence was solid but lacked two of our best 6. But they are very solid and hard working. What was most interesting to me was that our genuine B grade midfield...

    Brilliant input to the club from the great minds of BF

    I am continually impressed by the wisdom offered by many on BF. I am sure Woosher has taken it on board. Over the off season pearls of wisdom have included: Trade Cox he is past it. Trade Kerr he is past it Delist Emberley he is past it Delist Nicoski he is a dud I am sure there are more...

    Shuey gets points with early plea

    This raises a question, beyond the fact that Shue was unlucky. In past seasons our tackling has been insipid, it appears to have improved with good impact over the NAB Cup. Shuey aside, it appears to me over the NAB Cup that our players are more prepared to tackle and hit hard, without...

    On NAB Cup Prelim Performances who isn't up to AFL and who is certainly ok

    Not up to AFL: Dalziell - lost his way completely Emberley (his hit on maxwell was redeeming) Swift Masten - too dangerous with panicked handball Weeden - not there Lynch - redeeming factor is back up ruck A Smith is a worry Definitely AFL: Le Cras Cox Priddis S Sellwood NN when on the field...

    Why is it 40+ years since the saints last GF while over the years they have had great lists. It is above the shoulders, they havent looked like making a contest. Roo sums it up, all talk no walk

    Media Attention post Cuz and Acka

    Spent a great weekend in Melbourne, and also saw the Saints win. Interesting to be out on the town after the game, spotting a few AFL big names (I recognised them) well out of it. When will the Melbourne and wider AFL media look to the obvious now Cuz and Acka have retired. Or is it too...

    Rate Eagles players in the WAFL GF

    For me based on todays game only: Hansen went well but not in our team of the future. Probably our best leading forward but too limited overhead. Assistant coach in 2011. Neattes? showed some pace and skill Notte - could not get a game - should i be worried about his future or is he growing...

    Two positives and two negatives

    For me: Positive: Wilson and a foward line with some pace and ability to defend. Negative: Fitness at the end (this causes pressure and error) and I would have expected more of masten -no big posessions and his thinking was poor on some occasions

    The only problem with the rules committee is that it isnt needed

    The committee is part of the bloated AFL bureaucracy and is made up of people who are very happy to be part of the AFL gravy train. Many members are commentators who demonstrate their dumb thinking weekly. They are selected to give credibility, just like the Geish is employed. He has never...

    The AFL ‘entertainment industry’ gravy train

    The Carlton Bombers game had everything the AFL confesses to offer as part of the ‘entertainment industry’. It was absolute TV soap opera at its best, but as a sporting event was shameful in some regards. It is a shame that the AFL industry is not scrutinised or accountable. It appears to be...

    Fremantle, a setious discussion on chocking

    Fremantle, a serious discussion on choking Freo have had a great season, but with a few injuries destabilising them mentally. They fell apart against the Tigers after starting in a confident and dominant manner. Melbourne have now come from a position of absolute oppression to completely...

    Farewell Game

    Based on my view of our list we had 5 of our best six mids out today included most of our real attacking potential. Thus a win was not a gimme. Regardless we were insipid. What players played their farewell game today? Emberley is my first pick - 30 posessions but has the skills of a second...

    Positives to come out of the weekend

    Ok, This is tough. I sat at the SCG, struggled through the post game function and have watched the game again to review my initial thoughts. Surely the sky isnt falling in. Some positives are: We played poorly but at times cut out the Swans run of HB which is no mean feat on the SCG...

    Real life situations where the AFL outdoes the great Monty Python

    Monty Python couldnt do as well as the AFL. This one came to mind but there must be much better. The doctor ordered the stretcher - but he hadnt seen the player. thats ok. the Dr odered amputation, but he hasnt seen the patient. Thats ok he saw out of the window getting out of his car...

    Wooshers comment on the Big Q

    Extracts from Wooshers press conference were on Fox and 9 last night. Sorry they are probably all over Perth bu I live in isolation. He made a definite point the the Q has failed over some years to address shortcomings in his game. Any insights into what areas he is not fitting into the game...
