If ever anyone was in any doubt that umpires can influence games, watch the last 5 minutes of this game. Downfield frees ignored, deliberate OOB’s, clear HTB’s ignored, then the absolute joke of a free to Car with 17 seconds left. Magnificent kick by Newnes, but if he’d missed I’m sure the...

Sydney player Elijah Taylor will be suspended for the rest of the 2020 Toyota AFL Premiership Season after breaching the AFL's return to play protocols. Taylor breached the protocols after his partner entered the Sydney Swans quarantine accommodation in Western Australia when not authorised to...

Remember all that time ago (like a week) when every AFL outlet and every AFL-media mouthpiece were screaming plaudits about the wonderful impact of the rule changes on attacking football? Using JLT scores as an example? And yet early signs in the season proper are that this is not the case...

If we don't use the camera angles that SHOW the ball hitting the post..... utter farce. This is the most gutted and cheated I can remember feeling at a game. Incl last years Shuey final.

In keeping with all the regular whinging about the state of the game, the quality of umpiring, the poor standard of commentating, I am really struggling with the media putting their public stamp on events on the field before any AFL review or tribunal matter is heard. I dont have a problem with...

Question because of the score review in the Hawks Blues game. If a ball goes through the goals and hits the back of the padding, why isn't this a goal? Surely the ball has crossed the line completely to get to that position, so it's a goal BEFORE it hits the back of the post? What if the ball...

(sung to the tune of Under Pressure - Queen and David Bowie) Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that starts a microwave fire Splits BigFooty in two Puts fans on the streets It's the terror of knowing How this game will play out Watching...

I can't believe the news today Oh, I can't close my eyes And make it go away How long How long must I play along How long, how long Cause tonight, I can be as one Tonight Broken players under my feet Supporters strewn along the Lygon street But I can't heed the battle call They put my back up...

How many games must a team stuff up Before you know they're from Tiger land ? How many goals in a row do Port kick Before the season is one of the damned ? Yes, how many tosses must the captain stuff up Before they're forever banned ? The answer my friend is kickin' with the wind The answer is...

Stephen May should NOT have tried to bump in order to win the contest for the ball. He should have waited until his opponent took possession of the ball, then swung a round-arm across his face in a crude attempt to "spoil"..... Oh. And he should have had the foresight to be drafted by...

There are at least 6 of the #alwayshawks fans just going hammer and tong on here within minutes of tonight's game ending.... your team wasn't even playing! So why the obsession guys and girls? I've only ever seen you like this with Swannies and Cats before, so does this just mean that you...

I am just amazed at the smugness of Hird and Little pretending that the ruling exonerating the players is somehow "proof" that the club is innocent. NEWS FLASH: You're not innocent. You have proved nothing. You produced no evidence. The only person who could prove you innocent (Dank) you refuse...

2014. After sitting on a 3-10 record, Troy Chaplin and Richmond goes on an unbeaten streak of 9 games, only to run headlong into a Port Adelaide team wearing black and white. The game was over 14 minutes in, Port leading 7 goals to nothing. 2015. The Adelaide 36ers sitting on the ruins of a...

When I look into your eyes I can see a club restrained But Power when I hold you Don't you know I feel no shame Yeah Nothing lasts forever Even football grounds will change But it's hard to hold a candle To this cruel November pain We've hated you for such a long long time Just tryin' to...

<Buddy Franklin> I met him in a club down in old Boho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola See-oh-el-aye cola He walked up to me and asked "Can we talk Lance?" I asked him "What for?" and in a dark brown voice he said "COLA See-oh-el-aye COLA c-c-c-c COLA" <Eddie...

"just got off the phone to Crowley, said it would be unlucky if Norf pinched it!"

... was the one guy who DIDN'T partake in the alleged peptide injection program. David Zaharakis, take a bow. You are leading your club with actions far more than Little, Hird and Watson put together. (Edit: A special mention to Goddard - 31 possessions and 10 marks and 8 tackles. Can anyone...

1994 My child arrived just the other day He went to the Pies in an unusual way But there were planes to catch and flags along the way He learned to kick while I was away And he was FIGJAM' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be better than you dad You know I'm gonna be better...

Can someone please explain what the hell the graphic behind Huddo and Johnno is? I mean, I think it's the Power and Freo logos zoomed in, but I think there is a Bay 13 mole in the Fox Footy AV department.... PS feel free to divvy this if it doesn't make sense

Is this real football? Or is this just fantasy Caught on a replay No escape from the MRP Open your eyes Look at the slow-mo and see <Viney statement> I'm just a young boy, I need no sympathy Because I sometimes bump, sometimes no A little high, little low Anywhere the ball goes, doesn't really...

There will be plenty of threads bagging the Crows tonight and this week. This thread is dedicated to giving some Bay13 love to the Demons, who have been the subject of so much ridicule for so long, that they deserve some praise. Well done guys.

We all look at how some teams (like Port Adelaide in 2013) get off to early season flyers because of an easier than average draw, whereas others get really hard draws up front and the premiership table doesn't seem to do them justice. The other query about early season form is that we take the...

(to the tune of Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays) The membership goes inside the microwave Gets switched to overload And nobody’s gonna go to the game today He’s gonna make them stay at home And Dimma doesn’t understand it He always said “I love black and gold” And he can see no reasons...

Ever since I was a young boy, I loved to watch football. From Port Adelaide to Carlton I must have watched them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any clubroom hall That deaf dumb and Norf kid Sure made a mean CEO! He stands like a Buddha, Becomes part of the machine. Making lots of...

Last year, he came up with this beauty. I found this really insightful. Good news, he found out that it was so prophetic, he's dusted it off and gave it a lick of paint for 2014.

Was thinking about Port Adelaide's year in 2013, and what a great ride it was. But now I'm starting to think about where the next steps come from. Given the thinking that we have to continually improve otherwise you go backwards, where does Port Adelaide's improvement come from? So I picked...

Mum and Dad in 1980 saw the premiership parade at Punt Road It was a short march from the G. The 1982 GF was the next to tour, and it was me who drew the card. We lost, but saw D'Amico before we left. And Richmond lined the footpaths as we marched down to the G This clipping from the Record...
