    Team of the Ceuntury!

    We all have our opinions on who the better player was in a certain position, and i believe Brereton was better than Carey, as was Hart, your opinion is that they weren't which i respect. Richard Harris was the best forward pocket player the game has seen. Wayne Carey is not a forward pocket...

    The biggest problem with the draft is......

    I dont agree that is what the draft should be. I think the draft should test clubs for the skill to be able to see how good a player is a few years in advance. Obvioubsly, there is some guesswork (even more when lowering the age), however, alot of the time it is good recruiting and good spotting...

    Problem With the Allan Border Medal...

    is that unlike the Brownlow Medal, where there are over 500 players who play in the AFL, and about 30 to 40 which have some sort of chance (albeit very very minor in some cases) of winning the medal. Whereas with the Allan Border Medal, there are about 20 to 25 players who play International...

    Steve Waugh to be sacked as ODI captain

    Well im dissapointed in taking such drastic action after one bad series, but i had this bad feeling it was going to happen :(:( However, maybe it is for the better, but i feel Mark should've gone before Steve did in the one dayers. Mark will go soon from both teams with Watson coming into the...

    The biggest problem with the draft is......

    If they think that it will disrupt their schooling, then they dont nominate themselves for the draft. simple. Say for instance, a team spots a young talent whos about 15 years of age, and they look at him as a possible future draft pick. In the current senario, they are at a disadvantage...

    The biggest problem with the draft is......

    can someone explain the logic of why the draft age should be moved up. If your good enough, your old enough. If a person is not fully matured, and not big enough to take on the big boys, then a club can still draft him because they can see talent, however, he can just sit on the team list...

    What do you think should happen for colour clashes

    Every team should have a light coloured away guernsey and a dark coloured home guernsey. That was solve all problems, as it would be a similar situation to the NFL in America.

    Admit it; you are in fear of...

    good to see you pay much attention to your "number one" man. :p Seriously though, Carey was great, but he is long past it. He is now just an average CHF, and will most likely not have more than 2 or 3 seasons maximum before his body clonks out on him.

    Embarrassing Number One Ticket Holders

    I think the idea of number 1 ticket holder really pisses me off. It elevates one member above the rest, and it often isnt deserved. Often it goes to a celebrity or someone, who hasn't really done anything to the club. It should go to someone who does something for the club, or is a past...

    Australian Second XI

    Very good quote. Just have a look at the top 7 batting averages for the last 7 tests: Hayden - 794 runs at 79.40 Langer - 787 at 87.44 Ponting - 428 at 53.50 M Waugh - 389 at 43.22 S Waugh - 376 at 47.00 Martyn - 457 at 76.16 Gilchrist - 387 at 47.25 pretty unbeliavble top order...

    Worst test cricketer you've seen?

    I really dont like it when it people pose a question such as this. I played against plenty of players who only played one or two tests in grade cricket up in Sydney, and i can assure you, they are all brilliant cricketers. I know people like to pose the question, but its just something i...

    Shane Warne

    here lies the biggest problem to our little problem with Warne's average form in the Test arena. Who else is there. MacGill is very overrated, and is to expensive, but there is not one spinner in the leading 20 wickets in the Sheffield Shield. This must be a HUGE concern for national...

    How the mighty have fallen

    i think the thing that made our performances so much worse, was the fact that our two opening batsmen performed so far below standard, which meant that is just about every match, we lost a couple of early wickets - setting us right behind the 8 ball straight away. Not having a performing...

    Draft age - lower or higher?

    make it lower - if your good enough your old enough. There is no reason that 16 year olds (even 15 year olds) shouldnt play in the AFL if theyre good enough. If they are to small to play in the AFL, then clubs wont pick them to play as they will get battered around. Even so, if a club spots...

    starting of my grade career in Sydney as an 18 year old opening batsmen fresh out of school in 1967/68. Went out to play in 5th Grade, went out to bat against Bankstown, and he should be opening the bowling - two 17 year olds, Jeff Thomson and Lennie Durtanovich (nee Pascoe) :eek: :eek: :eek...

    How long since Gilchrist did well opening?

    His had a rough series as an opening batsmen scoring just 66 runs in his 5 innnings at the top. But before this series, his form at the top of the order has been nothing but brilliant. For the two calender years before this series, he has had 39 innings where he has opened the batting, and...

    yep definetaly jod, if your good enough, your young enough, and the some thing for youngsters, if you good enough, your old enough. I dont like how people think that you can't play at a high level until you reach a certain age, and which you reach another age, you no longer should be playing...

    Just a comment on Darren Gaspar...

    As Grendel said, Gaspar is just a solid CHB/FB, without being great or ordinary. However, he is still no where near as bad a kick as Andrew Dunkley.

    Best small forward in the league?

    Burns, O'Loughlin and Farmer are unstoppable when they're on song, but that doesnt happen week in week out. For general consistency, Matty Lappin is the man, while Brad Johnson and Phil Matera are close behind.
