    MRP / Trib. Crawford on Goodes' suspension

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/133420/default.aspx I would've posted this in the other thread, but its closed (bit early, mod! it was still a robust discussion). Shane Crawford buys in to Adam Goodes' suspension unprompted. He was supposed to be talking about his...

    how did AJ not get a Rising Star Nomination?

    He's played almost every game. He's been a vital cog in one of the stingiest backlines in the comp. He's beaten nearly every forward he's been given. He's been incredibly consistent. He should be one of the favourites to take the thing out, but he didn't even recieve a nomination. What more...

    Players decide play on

    This is so idiotic it beggars belief. So the umpire blows his whistle. Everyone stops to find out what the decision is. Then the bloke with the footy and the free takes off because everyone else is staring at the umpire in disbelief. Why cant the umpire keep it in his pants until he's sure...

    2010 - Post-mortems

    You've had time to do your analysis. Where did you go wrong this year? For me, its simple. One look at the winning team and it leapt out at me. The ruck. I wasted far too many trades on ruckmen. I started with Sandilands (the obvious #1 ruckman. I think most good judges had him), Clark...

    Grim's Genie

    So Grim, will there be a 2010 version of the Genie? I found it absolutely brilliant last year, especially when weighing up those crucial mid-season double trades. Tell me its back - bigger and better than ever - I beg you.

    Creswell Bravest of them All

    Cressa's still recieving accolades for knocking his own kneecap back in place. http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/76771/default.aspx The footage is well worth watching again, not just for Creswell. There's Kelly, Roos, a young O'loughlin. Great memories...

    get ready to get blown away...

    ...if your going to the game tonight. Gale force northerly winds forecast. You'd think that would favour the swans game-plan, if anything, as the dogs are the more skillful side according to conventional wisdom. But come wind, rain, hail or shine - in a final its the team that wants it the most.

    Roos hits Goodes over ban

    http://www.realfooty.com.au/articles/2008/06/29/1214677852738.html He hasn't spoken to him? If I was Goodes I would be furious that my coach was bagging me out in the press over a bullshit report that I would've beaten if the club had let me contest it, without even talking to me first to...

    Cam Mooney protected species...

    no case to answer? You're kidding me. How was that any less impact to the one that Barry Hall did to Goose in 05? He should at least have had to go to the tribunal and argue it was in play. I swear, the AFL will do anything to hand the cats another flag. Whinge, whinge, whinge, moan, moan...

    Unwire the Umps

    http://afl.com.au/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsid=57645 Interesting article from Supercoach Roos. I dunno who at AFL HQ gave the green light to broadcasting what the umps have to say, but it was short sighted. Their jobs are hard enough without having every word scrutinised by a pack of smug...

    Training with the Swans

    Hypothetically, what if you worked for a swans sponser and won a competition where the prize was to train and eat/drink with the swans tomorrow evening? Is there anything you'd like to ask anyone? Anyone you want me to take out?

    Kennely's knee

    Haven't heard a whisper yet. Anyone know what the prognosis is? Call me bitter, but i cant help feeling that both tackles (Pickett's and Bateman's - at least I think it was Bateman) were both illegal in the sense that Tadhg had disposed of the ball before the tackle was effected and the player...

    Beating the flood

    You hear a lot of gnashing of teeth over flooding and hows its ruining the game blahdeblahblah... but you dont hear a lot of how to beat it. Quick ball movement will only work if the flood is tidal. Essendon seemed to have 2 extra defenders permanently stationed in our forward 50. I saw them do...

    Least accountable teams

    Hey dreamers its common knowledge that the swans should change their names to the boa constrictors for their ability to strangle the opposition. Last week I lost to a cats fan cause I had too many dogs in my team. It got me thinking. If the swans are the best at keeping opposition possies down...

    The Practice of Selling Home Games

    'Neutral' should be neutered 29 May 2007 Herald-Sun Mark Stevens THE AFL didn't have to look far on Sunday to realise why Victorian fans are losing hope, Mark Stevens writes. All Andrew Demetriou had to do was flick on Foxtel to...
