    Betting: Is AFL really clean?

    I'm not too sure about the Footscray rumour - they didn't join the VFL until 1925

    Final 8 for 2010 set in stone according to TAB Sportsbetet

    So I can put $10000 on the cats or saints to wait until the start of September to most likely win $300 and have maybe a 1 in 30 chance of losing the lot. Alternatively I could put it into a 6 month term deposit at 6% to also gain $300. I suspect the odds of a major bank going under are...

    Players with best winning percentage

    By my count, Joel Selwood has been a part of sides with the following win/loss records over his career: 2007 - 20 wins / 2 losses 2008 - 23/2 2009 - 21/4 His career record is 64 wins and 8 losses for a winning percentage of 88.88%. It sure beats the hell out of Nathan Brown's record.

    Best grand final players over past 3 years

    I've had a go at ranking the performances of each player who has played all 3 grand finals in the past 3 years. I've given them scores out of 5 for each game. This ranking puts our 2 best players at 1 and 2 which is not surprising. How would you rank them differently? scarlett 4 4 3 11...

    Players that frustrate you from your club

    Remember a player: Johnny Mossop

    Re: Remember a player....Johnny Mossop He and Mick Turner almost dragged us into the 81 Grand Final. Between him and Rod Blake we had a pretty good ruck duo back in 2 preliminary final years at the start of the 80s

    Naitanui to Debut

    The excitement around Naitanui reminds me of Jarred Brannan's first few games. I suspect their first few seasons will be similar - inconsistent but showing enough tomake you think they cn be really good players. Brennan is now starting to show some consistency, hopefully Naitanui will end up...

    Geelong's record against all others (In the Ablett Era)

    If we exclude the between ablett years of 97-01 (where the record was 3wins 4 losses), then we get 30wins and 3 losses. In the Senior era (84-96), Geelong's record against Richmond was 20/3 In the Junior era (02-08), the record is 10/1 I haven't correlated whether the Abletts actually played...

    Burton finished? surely not?

    If Adelaide cut him then I reckon there's a few teams who could take a punt on him, especially if he was on a deal with low base payments but good incentives for games played. Any of the teams who are looking to contend in 2009 and 2010 especially could take a punt. These include Geelong...

    Players who can't use their wrong side?

    It was amazing the contortions that Paul Couch used to get into to kick on his preferred side. He always seemed to get away with it though

    MRP a disgrace!

    I reckon that's fair enough ThunderPower. Burgoyne's 3 weeks for striking Mitchell with a back to the head gets my vote for worst MRP decision of the year. Byron's suspension a few years back also seemed pretty harsh at the time

    Voss, Lappin & Black vs. Kerr, Cousins & Judd vs. Ablett Jnr., Corey & Bartel

    We're talking about possibly the 2 best mid fields ever. Weagles 3 took a very average side (apologies to Cox and Glass but pretty much no-one else) and nearly won 2 GF. Brisbane mids turned an excellent forward and backline into possibly the best side of all time. Premierships are a factor in...

    Best Afl Captian ans why!

    Here's my analysis of some traits that a great captain should have or not have: Onfield Inspiration: Kirk, Judd, Brown, Brad Johnson. These are the guys who have often single-handedly dragged their team along with them to win big games. Witness Judd last week and Kirk in the Swans grand...

    Great individual games of all time - Richo Round 7 2004 Vs Swans

    Arguably Gary Ablett senior's best game was in a losing side when he kicked 14 against the Dons with Salmon kicking 10 at the other end. 1993 IIFC. Special mentions to 89 grand final and most games he played against Richmond. Good thread this - it gives me a smile remembering some of these...

    Brian Cook to leave this year - Caro

    I hope he stays but if he decides to leave then good for him. He's done more for the club than anyone in the past 15 years. Ideally though he'd stay until the AFL job comes up again. He's someone I'd feel pretty comfortable entrusting the future of our game in.

    The 12 levels of losing. Which losses fit in which category?

    Nice list. Here's my go. Level 12: The Balboa Principle Collingwood, 2002 GF. Also, Geelong v Brisbane 04 Prelim Final and Collingwood v Geelong in last years prelim Level 11: The Rabbit's Foot Geelong, 97 finals Level 10: The Achilles' Heel Geelong v Hawthorn in around about round 8...

    Your forward line vs your defence

    so which teams would score the most and which would score the least? I think Hawthorn has the biggest mismatch between forwards and backs in the forwards favour. Blues forwards are also much better than their backs. Whose defence would beat their forwards by the most? I think Adelaide's...

    Where would you rank Aussie Rules on this list (see inside) of the most physically difficult sports?

    Re: Where would you rank Aussie Rules on this list (see inside) of the most physically difficult spo I would say that the typical NBA small forward has the grace, agility and co-ordination of Buddy Franklin, plus can jump higher, plus is about 3 inches taller. The only guys who are unco in...

    Players with best winning percentage

    Joel Selwood's career record is 24 wins and 2 losses - a 92% winning record. Has there been another player to have played more than a handful of games to have sung the song this many times? Did any young bomber make their debut in 99 or 2000 and have a record similar to this? Any Blue from 95...
