Melbourne list has a young element to it which will hold it in good stead in the coming years. Our engine room is young , hopefully Oliver and Jackson will resign on longer contracts over the next year. I reckon they will as there seems to be a good camaraderie in the group that will want to...

Bit of a rumour that a Port Adelaide poster has no balls when it comes to making public comments. Hey Simmo D, did you remove the Tex walker thread as you denigrated other posters while highlighting your employ with ACCOR hotels?? Your so keen to advertise and up sell ACCOR hotels early in...

Not sure how seriously to take this having just read this article but intriguing nevertheless. Brian Taylor is one of the most imposing men in the football media landscape with his command over the microphone and cameras. But he was put on the back foot on Saturday afternoon when newsbreaker...

We are the laughing stock of the world. We highlight how tank man in China has been airbrushed out of existence but here we have our own big brother raiding journalists homes. Was interesting that they raided Annika Smethurst home, went through her underwear draw, cookbooks and other personal...

Jimmy “the financials are ready” Hird obviously did not think much about becoming runners up in 2001. His 2001 Runner up medal is coming up for sale in Melbourne soon. Not sure if he is the vendor or if a subsequent owner is selling the item. Must say this is a crappy bit of memorabilia the...

Here is a picture of John Coleman in the 1949 state of origin played in SA. I had heard he had a good leap as this picture shows. He appears to have not gotten a ride on someone but relied on his own jump. Still pictures can be deceiving though.

i am bewildered with the idea that clubs have free reign to push players to breaking point in the name of discovery ,physical and personal development. AFL is a tough game with players at the high end of fitness, I get that. It's bloody hard to be a player these days but to think it is a clubs...

Hey chief , need a couple of quotes. How many beancoins to buy a day off for a another big footy poster? With that in mind how many to suspend the account permanently? Love always, Slarti

Surprise , AFL and EFC are encourging players to accept an all inclusive deal to settle any claims. Managers and legals have warned not to do this and to seek loss of earnings from EFC but still maintain right to sue. Interesting another insurance company is involved who is responsible for any...

Can't understand Dank suing for damages here, don't know if he was hoping they would settle but he seems to be out of his depth. The guy died after relapsing with cancer after using Danks peptide just to help him sleep??? Dank is concerned that this reporting of Mannah's death and use of...

Mcdevitt does the right thing by referring straight to WADA and his prosecution is successful so now he is going to be grilled by senate estimates. The tone of the ministers is already showing there support of Essendon. Would be great if they put there foot in it by sharing more facts that are...
