    Racism in footy - how far have we come?

    A winning post for mine! Racism = ignorance and the way to overcome ignorance is with open discussion and continuing education. It is one of the hallmarks of a mature democracy to face up to and collectively seek to overcome issues such as this. Is Australia that mature democracy?

    Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

    It's odd for me to say it, and even odder that I type it twice... but I found myself sitting amongst a throng of very enthusiastic Pies supporters on the wing last night, and they were actually good company! I know, it sounds wrong, but it's true! They were unanimous in their review of the...

    Did April Fools Day come a day early?

    No excuses, as our poor kicking to forwards and their ruthless punishing of us for those mistakes cost us the game. But there were 4 shockers in an otherwise OK umpiring performance. The Tarrant one was universally viewed as bizarre. The Cloke non-mark was equally dopey. Then there was the...

    Another genuine question for Pies fans.

    Don't know about the coaching and who is better or worse, but i reckon Pies supporters would have to be impressed with the way Bucks has carried himself this year - I certainly have been. Not a big Bucks' fan at all before this year - great player and all but I guess I was sold on the FIGJAM...

    Mega Thread Game Destroyed - This is the one and only thread on the Main Board re Eagles vs Cats Umpiring

    Two words - Adrian Anderson Seems pretty obvious to me this little fella seems hell bent on shaping the game as he sees fit - and he can't see properly! Seems to form a nice little boys club of backslapping and cash bonuses for being so great in each other's eyes with Gillon Horseboy and The...

    Football changed forever tonight

    Annoyed as a loyal supporter about the decision, but grudgingly accepting that Ziebell should have probably got 1-2 for high contact in today's environment. Frustration is driven by clearly not seeing anything resembling fairness or justice when comparing decisions. For example, this was my...

    Roast Caroline Wilson - Is her article even legal?

    I have no real hatred of Caro, unlike the trend I sense on this board sometimes, but I do think most footy journos are shit "journos". No accountability, sense of responsibility, etc and very self-serving. In this instance, I tend to agree with your sentiments (ie "what the...?") over her...

    Duckers Issue

    I think the Eagles are playing very well and making the most out of some average tackles in most occasions, and I agree that the focus needs to return to strong, hip-aimed tackling to overcome much of it. But I do have a significant concern over a tactic I saw - perhaps only 2 or 3 times -...

    Justice Prevails - Thomas is Free!!

    Good result - it's a frustrating system but perhaps this case and the Whitecross case demonstrate it works in the end? At least half of the 17,658 fully accredited expert AFL "journos" look pretty stupid. There'll be no apologies though... EDIT - I also must stress that Rohan is very unlucky...

    North Upset Over Geelong?

    in reference to the roos v cats and cats v hawks game, North played bloody well,and beat geelong, in round 3... geelong played bloody well, and beat hawthorn, in round 2... that's all that has actually happened... so much footy to go in this season that's there's nothing else to learn yet...

    The Draw

    Heard Dean Laidley's idea on radio and it made sense, assuming that a 34 week H&A season is not going to ever happen. Two groups of 8 teams, based on ladder positions (odds and evens). Each team plays the 7 others in their groups twice, H&A (14 games) and the other 8 once each (8 games) for a...

    What did you learn from round 18?

    - Judd & Ablett = 2 once-in-a-generation players in the same generation! Lucky us... - Derby was great to watch - always entertaining battles for the neutral observer - WCE prove how fast you can go from boiled lollies to chocolates in this game (remember calls for Woosha's head and claims they...

    The heat has to come onto Scott now.

    Are there any "supporters"on this forum? I am consistently amazed by the capacity to lead with two feet by so-called Roos-supporters in this environment. What I saw today was a top side - undisputed - carve up a bottom half side (North). They did it unceremoniously and with the aid of many...

    North on the Brink of financial disaster - The Age

    Re: North on the Brink Putting aside the ordinary journalism and arguments re The Age's agenda or otherwise or the validity of the argument that North is "on the brink"... Why is there not a balanced article and/or discussion on the the strangeness surrounding the precarious financial...

    Un-be-****ing-lieveable

    "Sooooooooo, join in the chorus..." That was my North Melbourne. That's what we stand for. That's why we love this club. Even if we didn't get up today, I would still have been so happy with the no excuses straight ahead attack on the footy and the opposition. But to win is so very...

    Round 20 Birsbane Vs Western Bulldogs

    1) Great win Brisbane - excellent last QTR - Brennan fantastic and probably would have won by more if not for some very odd possessions by Johnstone in the last half 2) WTF Bulldogs? Rubbish kicks backwards, barely an inclination to take the game on and tentative play - what has happened to...

    Buddy Overrated.

    Overrated? subjective... each to their own. Best player in the league? Probably not yet - he's still finding his way in the game. Most exciting young talent I have seen in some time? Most definitely. All the strongly put opinions on this site are testament to the fact that he gets people...
