Interesting that the Swans treat their AFL flags as separate to their VFL flags. Different things, I guess...

Thread to discuss all things Matildas at the World Cup. Only 2 games to go, whichever way it goes against the Poms in the semi's. They got overshadowed by the Ashes during the group stages, but they've since taken the nation's sporting psyche by storm with knockout wins over Denmark followed by...

Such a good read. Just wait till you get to the stage where those final scenes make sense. The movie and the book really need to be experienced in conjunction with one another, especially given that they were a joint project between Kubrick and Clarke.

Monday morning and nobody has posted this thread yet, so I'll do the honours. For once, I think it might actually be the case. I found a pictorial representation of where our season is at.

The week started off so well. Beating up our bully at the G, the purples losing in Brisvegas, the Tigers grabbing the headlines for nightclub punch-ons, and Tom Browne making himself look like a mega-fool with his Cripps-Yeo trade swap nonsense. How good! Then,….garrgghhh!! Banned player...

So after a season and a bit with effectively no goalsquare, I can't see that it's done much to improve the 'state of the game'. Time to bring it back? If not, then why even have the square (rectangle) painted on? Just put a dot where the kicker starts from.

Prior to 1979, my understanding is that someone was named Best On Ground in VFL Grand Finals, but received no formal award. Robert Dipierdomenico was the last player named BOG prior to the striking of the Norm Smith Medal in 1979. My question is, should the AFL go back through the record books...

This thread is for dedicated NicNat discussion for the remainder of 2019. Where his injury is at, any skerricks of info coming out of the club, opinion on whether he can come back into the team if he doesn’t play against the Hawks or if he does come back, how will he be used, etc. I’ll start...

Hawks @ MCG (home away from home) Dockers @ Optus (away at home) Pies @ Optus (home sweet home) Melbourne @ TIO (Alice. Alice, who the f*** is Alice?) We should be heading into each of these games as favourites and I would take 3-1. The pessimist in me sees each of these games as real banana...

https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-18/star-eagle-jetta-hit-with-onegame-ban-for-heavy-tackle I'd like to get opinion on this one. I can't take my bias out of this one, so am seeking thoughts as to how other's view Jetta's suspension.

This is the first instance I can recall of the media making a call for the AFL exec to be sacked. From little things, big things grow... No more. The AFL executive has lost its ability to govern itself, and it cannot be allowed to continue this way for the good of the sport in this country...

Repeat after me: Born is pride, from isolation Our fortress built, we cross the nation Our colours share, the west coast sky Our will to win won’t die You may sit. Who: Our MCG bunnies When: Saturday April 6, 7:25pm AEDT (4:25 Perth time) Venue: Neutral Last time we met: [Good times]...

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-19/john-barnes-ex-afl-ruckman-joins-planned-concussion-class-action/10915086 John Barnes suffers from crippling memory loss, mood swings and epilepsy — symptoms that he believes are a direct result of head knocks during an AFL career spanning 15 seasons.

I've been curious why, ever since the early 2000's, the premiership coaches end up with two medals around their necks - Mr Google provided me some background - Since 2001, the premiership coach is awarded the Jock McHale Medal, in honour of McHale's brilliant coaching record. The AFL has...

warning: Controversial opinions ahead. Users proceed at their own discretion. Gaff, NN and Shep going down/getting rubbed out was a blessing in disguise. Had any of these things things not occurred, then who knows how season 2018 pans out. Butterfly effect and all that. Vardy replaces NN and...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-15/afl-rules-changes-may-reduce-scoring-not-increase-it/10247576 Can't be bothered reading? - 3 trial games is a pissy little sample size which tells us nothing. "Three late-season dead rubbers involving relatively weak VFL teams is not a real trial. It is a...

In the context of the 'state of the game' debate and the quality of commentary we are subjected to these days, comes the article that sums it all up perfectly. Will it resonate with the fans? Yes. Will the AFL industry heed its wise words? Not a chance...

We unexpectedly went 4-0 in the Next Four thread. We went 2-3 in the Next Five thread with a decimated forward line. How are we shaping up for the Final Six: Bulldogs H Norf A Freo H Port A Melbourne H Brisbane A I'm tipping 4-2 with one loss to either North or Port, plus a banana skin loss...

Watching the Swans Dockers coverage lastnight, I was amazed that Buddy's knock on Hamling's chin was raised by Riccuito as something that might be looked at. Then again, the way the MRO and tribunal have been operating this year maybe I shouldn't be amazed. Caro this morning suggested Bud may...

Strong rumour circulating on West Coast's RTW thread about the new logo. Latest info to hand, thanks to The Don't Argue ...

A mate who follows NRL asked me today why footy is divided into 20 minute quarters, unlike rugby and soccer which play 40/45 minute halves. I couldn't really give him a proper answer, and just said something about tradition, and maybe the game takes more out of someone than rugby and soccer...
