Franklin 10 years from the age of 26. Boyd 7 years. It's time for the AFL to step in and put a stop to these ridiculous contracts. The NBA max of 5 years seems appropriate. The problem with the system right now is that the AFL have brought over the American model of free agency (more or less)...

So Tredders thinks that "A South Australian State Guernsey is something that is Earned ... Not given away in a PR stunt!" How about a job as the Channel 9 sports anchor? There's no way Tredders "earned" that job, or any other job he's had in the media for that matter. He's living off the...

Did anyone see this article this morning? Good to see Bird may be available for the 2nd test and Pattinson for the 3rd. Gives our bowling lineup much needed depth. Bird can come in if Johnson falters and Patto should be a walk-up start when he's fit...

This is a thread I'll try and keep updated with results and big rankings moves of male players born in 1989 or later (I made this cut-off because I see 1988 players such as Del Potro, Cilic and Gulbis as part of the Nadal-Djokovic-Murray generation rather than the new one). Players to watch...

Is what we should be reading soon. O'Keefe is already back and firing, and with his absolutely superior first class record compared to any other spinner in Australia, he needs to be given a shot.

Who does everyone think will be the champion of each weight class at the end of 2012? My picks: 125 pounds - Demetrious Johnson 135 pounds - Dominick Cruz 145 pounds - Chad Mendes 155 pounds - Benson Henderson 170 pounds - Georges St-Pierre/Nick Diaz 185 pounds - Anderson Silva 205...

The Crows Reserves or your current SANFL team? Personally, I'd change my allegiance and barrack for the Crows. I currently have allegiances to both Norwood and Sturt (never chose between my parents' teams) and attend about 3-4 games per season, but my support of the Crows runs far deeper than...

Just saw this posted in another thread and wondered, why isn't this our logo: Compare that to our current monstrosity and there is simply no contest.

The AFL must follow the lead of nearly every single other professional sports league in the world - Dark guernseys at home, Light guernseys for away matches. The league has spent far too long failing to properly address this issue properly, and has allowed certain teams to sidestep and bend the...

This season will feature 16 new players to Survivor, as well as two returning players. The season will premiere in the US on September 14 at 8:00pm and will be a ninety minute debut Cast: Coach Wade, 38 (returnee) Ozzy Lusth, 30 (returnee) Albert Destrade, 26 (baseball coach)...

How will he stack up against current QB's and the best all-time leaders? Interesting article here: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AnTVgdRKHvBSctIZh3LAN0pDubYF?slug=jc-disregardingbigben012111

What am I missing?

Watching Hussey last night (the innings where he absolutely screwed us), it came to my attention that he was clearly not playing for the team. Considering we were only 2 down after about 14 overs, Hussey had the opportunity to hit out and go for some quick runs, but instead he continued to...

For everyone who's been involved in and loved this competition, feel free to discuss anything here! For people who don't know what this is: Australian Stranded is an online version of Survivor. It is played on a personal forum, where contestants can strategize privately (in PM's) and talk...

Ok, so we're nearly at the end of the season. Feel free to give your predictions for each award. Most of them seem pretty straight forward this season. MVP - Tom Brady (lock, with Vick 2nd) OPOY - Michael Vick (should be a lock) DPOY - Cameron Wake (probably won't win it but I want...

Rendell repeatedly said that the Gold Coast would pillage all the top tall prospects when they came into the league in 2011, and thus made sure that we drafted tall players over the last few years so we wouldn't have a void to fill over the next year or two. Has it worked? Over the last...

Looks like season 22 (also in Nicaragua) will feature Russell Hantz and Boston Rob leading tribes against each other. It will also introduce a new twist, known as Redemption Island, which offers castaways a new way to stay in the game. Whoever is voted off (either from the start of the game...

Announced tonight. The leaderboard gives a much more accurate reflection of the season than the Brownlow, which is unsurprising given that the coaches would have the greatest idea of which players performed their roles the best. 114 - Swan 88 - Hodge 80 - J. Selwood 75 - Sandilands 71 - Judd...

Interested on people's thoughts about how the club will be seen in the next few years. Will they be able to carry over that never-say-die Bloods attitude that Kirk and Roos played such a great part in over the last decade? Is Kirk being kept at the club in some capacity?

Very interesting selection process going on for both USA and Europe at the moment. The 8 automatic qualifiers for the USA were decided after the US PGA. They are: 1. Mickelson 2. Mahan 3. Watson 4. Furyk 5. Stricker 6. D. Johnson 7. Overton 8. Kuchar A few surprise rookies such as Overton...

Anyone think we will go down this road this year given that our list is now so inexperienced? After the success of Barlow and Podsiadly this year, it has to be attractive. It sounds like Myles Sewell, brother of Hawthorn's Brad, may be the leading candidate. He's a 22 year old midfielder...

The 21st season of the greatest show in the world, Survivor: Nicaragua, premieres in the US on Wednesday, September 15 (note it has been moved to Wednesday nights). Channel 9 has also listed it on their new seasons to premiere this year. "A great battle between a flower and a sword takes...

So now that Survivor: Heroes vs Villains is over and a winner has been crowned, debate is now raging over who is the greatest Survivor ever. Does Sandra's 2 wins from 2 attempts make her the best? Parvati has been on the island for the most days in history - is she the greatest? Or does...

Here's my go at it: MVP: 1. LeBron James 2. Kevin Durant 3. Dwight Howard DPOY: 1. Dwight Howard 2. Andrew Bogut 3. Gerald Wallace ROY: 1. Tyreke Evans 2. Brandon Jennings 3. Stephen Curry MIP: 1. Kevin Durant 6th Man: 1. Jamal Crawford COY: 1. Scott Brooks (OKC)...

Who's everyone got? I think it's pretty straight-forward this year. 1st Team: C - Dwight Howard F - LeBron James F - Kevin Durant G - Kobe Bryant G - Dwyane Wade 2nd Team: C - Andrew Bogut F - Dirk Nowitzki F - Carmelo Anthony G - Deron Williams G - Steve Nash 3rd Team: C - Amare Stoudemire...

With players like Harris, McKay, Hauritz, Bollinger etc. absolutely lighting up Pakistan with the ball this summer, it begs the question - Is the standard of the Pakistan batting lineup well below that of any Australian state team? Harris, McKay and Hauritz have never been this effective at...
