Let's run through a list of irrefutable facts that support my claim.
Exhibit 1 - player analysis
Their best players:
Hodge: Old and Fat
Franklin: Fat, camp mustache, and distracted
Mitchell: Old
Sewell: Old and ugly
Roughead: Fat, Ugly, and no good at football
Hale: Old, bald, and fat...
Bookmark it! You heard it here first, folks. This will happen. Shanklin is done for, he is too fat, distracted, and clanger prone to be even close all australian in 2013. In contrast, Levi Casboult is a muscle laden bolter who is going to annihilate the competition in 2013 and win all australian...
Oh boy. I was going over the match ups for Saturday's NAB cup game between Hawthorn and Gold Coast, and I can only find a single winner for Hawf on the entire ground. This could get very ugly for Hawf supporters. I am tipping a GC win by about 20-30 points.
Winner highlighted in bold:
Ablett...
Footy is almost upon us once again, and the NAB cup has thrown us one of the most lolworthy match ups in football history by pitting Essendon against Collingwood in the druggo darby. Not since Nazi Germany invaded the Stalinist Soviet Union have two shitter cultures collided.
What are you...
In a shockingly accurate and honest statement, Nafan Buckly admits that he has no leadership skills and that "Gavin Brown, Damian Monkhorst and Gavin Crosisca" were "more deserving of the leadership" than he was. He then went on to imply what we all already know, and that is that Nick Maxwell is...
The competition is about to get rolled by the toughest group of 18-20 year olds the AFL has ever seen. Don't believe me? Look at the pictures below and weep, losers.
Warning: Prepare yourselves for bowel evacuation before viewing these pictures:

"I'm very confident that by round one, what we'll be seeing on the field will be much, much cleaner than it may have been in the past." - Andrew Demetriou :thumbsu:
There has been a lot of negativity ever since Essendon called for ASADA and the AFL to investigate their club for alleged doping...
Saw the AFL's website article on the league's biggest houso today and couldn't help but notice how LOL worthy his photo was. Thought I'd throw it out there for the Bayers to see what we could come up with. Winner gets my nom for POTY 2013. :thumbsu:
You can use the source material, or if you...
This is my first go at a mock draft. It is very rough and sketchy, and I certainly don't feel 100% confident that I am correct in any of these selections. What I have tried to do, however, is match players to clubs to the best of my ability. I am hopefully going for accuracy, and not so much on...
I was thinking about some of the mistakes, in my opinion, that people make when thinking about the draft selections. I thought I'd make a list and may add to it later.
1. The overvaluing of draft picks: You see this all the time during trade week. Often you will see a club pick up an...
#13 - Sam Darley
Height: 183cm
Weight: 80kg
D/O/B: 15/2/1993
Position: Defender
Debut: Round 8
Recruited: Hobart, Tas.
A solid, but unspectacular, debut season for Ninja Boy
A highly touted draft prospect in his junior days in Tasmania, Darley was one of the 17 year old preselections...
It has been brought to my attention numerous times that supporting more than one club just ain't right, dammit! So I was hoping to get a little help from the good people of the bay, to try and decide once and for all, which team I should support. Whichever team wins the poll, I will barrack for...
Howe's mark against Sydney has officially been voted Mark of the Year! His mark against the power was also among the final three marks. Howe had an incredible eight mark of the year nominations this season, having a better highlights real in just one season than what many high flyers have...
Two players that are largely accused by people outside of their respective team's fanbase as being good, but very overrated. Which do you think is most overrated, discuss below.
They play very different roles, but a stats comparison between the two is interesting. Have a look by clicking the...
In order to reduce the amount of players flooding around the ball at any one time, Bartlett has proposed an interchange system where 18 players start on the ground, and can be substituted throughout the game by any one of an 8 man interchange bench. Once a player is subbed off, he can't be...
Collingwood have just shot to bookies favourites, according to Sportsbet. Whilst Sydney and Hawthorn are dominating Roby's famous Power Rankings. But, who do you think should be the flag favourites after Round 10?
Tas take on SA in what should hopefully be a competitive game in round 1 of the NAB under 18s championship. SA will have a strong side, but after NT defeated Metro last week, I wouldn't totally discount a major upset. It will be interesting to see how Tasmania bounces back after their shocking...
This isn't a great era for Tasmanian football. It seems our state is too busy tearing up the domestic cricket scene to produce as many great footy players as would normally be expected. Nevertheless, we have a few good young players running around in the AFL at the moment and a number of...
Well, the draft period is over and it proved to be a fantastic draft for Tasmania. Two first rounders is an incredible result. As predicted it was high quality rather than high quantity for Tasmanian juniors being drafted into the AFL system this year. We also had two Level Two Tasmanian rookies...
Hey, I have been looking for reliable statistical comparisons between injuries in AFL and other elite sporting competitions such as the NFL, the EPL, and the NRL. I haven't found much, but if anyone has seen a decent article or publication, I would be happy to read it.
What do you think the...

It is evident that if we are to be able to consistently challenge the competition next year, we will need a number of young players to really step up in their second years of AFL. We also need a couple of our more experienced recruits to have big years. With that in mind:
Who are some of the...
OK, the thread title was a bit of an intentional troll, but only because most people assume that I am talking about test matches. However, I am specifically referring to ODIs. Surely, his ODI record as captain and batsmen would ensure that he not only makes the ODI team of all time, but captains...
Hey guys, I am really interested in this guy's career. He seems to be good value for Tasmania. Only 20 years old and already has two 5 fors at first-class level, a bowling average of 21, and a reasonable batting average.
I don't really get a chance to watch Tassie play, living in Launceston. I...
Hey, as I don't have pay television, I was hoping you guys might know a way to watch they AFL draft online? Preferably for free. Some links would be helpful, thanks.
