We saw the massive influence Darcy Moore and the Daicos boys had on Collingwood winning the flag this year and one could make a strong argument that a healthy Will Ashcroft on Grand Final day would have flipped that premiership in Brisbane's favour. Is this going to be the trend moving forward...
Essendon - Premiership player (2000) & 150+ game player
Port Adelaide - Inaugural AFL Premiership player (2004)
Richmond - 3x Premiership coach (2017, 2019, 2020) & 300+ games coached
Gold Coast - TBD
Obviously a difficult question to answer because we don't know what he'll achieve with the...
What do you think? Is this a problem?

In the same vein of the 2022 version, Carlton started the season well this year (with some wins over mostly bottom 6 teams) and are now about to embark on a run of some pretty tough games with Brisbane (4th) at Marvel, Bulldogs (10th) at Marvel, Collingwood (1st) at the MCG, Sydney (11th) at the...
R1 def. by Port Adelaide by 54 points @ Adelaide Oval
R2 v Melbourne @ Gabba
R3 v Bulldogs @ Marvel
R4 v Collingwood @ Gabba
Four games that could legitimately all end in losses for the Lions. Is it curtains for Brisbane if they lose them all?
Simple question that should render some interesting responses. Fitzroy were in the VFL/AFL competition for exactly 100 seasons and we've now gone just over 25 years without them in the league.
Is the league better or worse off for losing Fitzroy? Why/Why not?
You can't deny the players on Carlton's list right now. Three current All-Australians in Cripps, Curnow and Saad, reigning Brownlow Medallist Cripps, reigning Coleman Medallist Curnow, 2021 Coleman Medallist Harry McKay, Sam Walsh in the midfield, Weitering in the backline etc.
It really seems...
The fixture was fairly kind to the Blues before tonight and their remaining nine games are against Fremantle (3rd) @ Marvel, St Kilda (6th) @ Marvel, West Coast (18th) @ Optus, Geelong (5th) @ MCG, GWS (13th) @ Marvel, Adelaide (15th) @ Adelaide Oval, Brisbane (1st) @ Gabba, Melbourne (2nd) @...
Been following this team from afar for most of its existence and I don't think I've ever been more convinced that they are on the precipice of something significant. The Miller-Rowell-Anderson midfield combination is going to test every team in the AFL and it's only going to be tougher for...
I don't know how we did it but we won both of our preseason games. The Suns also happened to win both of their preseason games.
Unclear if Dicko or Lycett will be available for this one.
Thoughts?
The Victorian Football League was established in 1897 with 12 foundation clubs (Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fitzroy, Geelong, Melbourne, South Melbourne and St Kilda). Expansion began in 1908 when Richmond and Melbourne University were admitted into the competition. Although Melbourne...
There is a slim chance snow will fall from the Canberra skies this Friday night when the Giants host Hawthorn at Manuka Oval. They are predicting a temperature of 3 degrees at the time of the first bounce.
Will this be the first time a VFL/AFL game has been played in snowy conditions?
R21 v Sydney (15th) @ AO
R22 v North (13th) @ Marvel
R23 v Fremantle (11th) @ AO
All of our opponents are placed lower than us on the ladder and 2/3 of our remaining H&A season games are at home. It's a pretty nice draw when you consider the teams directly above/below us. We would have to be...
The two who instantly come to mind are Dean Brogan (NBL) and Mike Pyke (Top 14 Rugby) but are there others? Although Gaelic Football isn't played 'professionally', one could argue Tadhg Kennelly's (GAA) achievements were just as impressive. On the women's side you've got plenty of multi-sport...
Our men's national team is embarking on a golden era of talent somewhat comparable to the Socceroos a little over 10 years ago. We now have more NBA depth than any nation outside of the US (and possibly Canada) and with Basketball Australia recently signing a new CBA which will considerably...

Will an extra contracted year make any difference when it comes to retention of draftees? Does it even matter if you're getting an extra year regardless?
