Anyone know much about footy in PNG? Having Oea running around GC led me to look into it, and I was surprised to see there's a long history of Australian rules in PNG, and a pretty well-established local league. I can't find much at all online, though it seems the top two sides in the main...

After yet another narrow Adelaide loss to Collingwood, I was thinking about how often it seems to have happened over the years. Going back to 1991, 17 of their 49 games (35%) have been decided by a kick or less. Absolutely phenomenal. To put it in perspective, only one (of 44) Adelaide v...

Tragic. Will be one of thousands this year, My guess is there’s a good chance the lockdown contributed to it. Melbourne in July 2020 is surely one of the most depressing places on earth. Swinburne Uni recently undertook research that found 40% of adults under 25 had thought about suicide in...

Just something that’s ive noticed lately. In discussing whether a reviewed goal has crossed the goal line, I’ve heard commentators (on multiple occasions) say something along the lines of ‘the padding is part of the post’, with the implication (I think) being that a goal is only a goal once the...

Hey, I was wondering if any SA-based punters have had any luck getting bonus bets (e.g bonus for 2nd or 3rd) from bookies? I know some agencies explicitly state that SA residents are excluded, but SB for instance will honour bonuses. Thanks in advance.

Let's put this one to rest. Adelaide played 9 (of 22) games against teams that ended up in the top 8. This represents a percentage of 40.9% Now, as a team that finished in the top 8, they had 7 other finalists (amongst 17 other teams) to play. So you would expect that 7 out of every 17 games...

How long before he gets dumped? I'm hesitant to criticise him, and recognise that switching sports was always gonna be difficult for him, but he is that useless right now that Gold Coast are effectively playing with 17 men. He will improve but how long can Gold Coast afford to wait? There...

Does anyone know how ticket sales are going fro Saturday night? Any estimates as to what sort of crowd they're expecting?

A lot of people talk these days about the fact that certain clubs are 'unprofitable', that their crowds are too low, that they're basket cases, and that they should be forced to merge or fold to do the rest of us a favour. In 2009 the clubs under the spotlight are Melbourne, Port and North...

It seems just about every fan these days is disillusioned to varying degrees with the AFL as it currently is. In the past 15 years it has slowly morphed from the game we all grew up loving into something, and I hate to say it, I cringe my way through on many occasions. Watching quite a few...
