All due respect to you, this is the attitude that I have an issue with. In Tex's case, we should be punishing the behaviour and supporting the player. Supporting doesn't mean defending, and I don't see anyone defending the actions here.
Its all pretty simple really - play finals in 2015, Dangerfield will stay.
If we don't play finals this year, he will go to Geelong.
If we don't play finals, we will be finishing below Geelong, in which case FA compensation will be better than Geelong's first rounder.
First rounders are great...
Would also be interesting to separate out the stats from games like Melbourne, Richmond and WCE from GWS and St Kilda.
One thing PAPs worked on last pre season was disposal under pressure. And it was of significant benefit. I remember sitting and watching the first showdown this year, and...
This suggests we have a lazy midfield. We don't spread hard enough, and we don't get back and help out defensively near as much as Hawks/Swans. We rebound well from defensive 50, but at Sydney and Hawthorn, it rarely gets in there. Outside game is one for teams with a hard running midfield, we...
Remember Gerard Healy commentating a Crow's game in that first year, and he nominated the ten AFL players he would pay to see play regardless of the game. Klug was one of those ten.
Smart has to be in our top ten. Another memory from 1991, Smart's debut year. West Coast Egles at the end f...
Interesting fact. Craig Kelly initially struggled to make it at PAC 1st XVIII level due to his poor kicking. Then coach Pete Thomas (legend) regularly worked with Kelly after training, working solely on improving his kicking, which seemed to work out ok for Ned. Ned's old man played at Port...
I remember the 90's, and also our dual premiership captain.

Accountability is fine, but appropriate action can only be taken when all the facts are laid bare. Too many are guessing, or jumping at shadows. I will never stop supporting the AFC, but what form that support takes may well be impacted by the findings of the AFL's "court", and in the way some...
I have been an AFC member since inception, and a club sponsor for the past 8 years.
From a sponsor perspective, S Trigg has provided outstanding service, leadership and direction. His integrity, work ethic and devotion to this club has never been questioned, which makes this current scenario (as...
Best comment I have seen in six weeks of speculation and rumour. Great post JP. This is going to blow in the faces of the AFL comrades like nothing before. Am liking the suggestion of an amnesty now on 3rd party deals until a definitive directive can be given. AFC seek compensation for losing...
2 problems. One, GHS still has a year on his contract. Two, GHS is not so much outside run, as link in. Would love him at AFC, but they love him at GFC, just depends how he reads the opportunities at each of the clubs. There is man love between Sando and GHS too.
Also, I have no medical...
Not sure on the rulings relating to runners and coaching etc, but was made aware of a tactic used by the bombers today. The two runners were tag teaming all game,with
one of them on the field for every minute of the game. Much of the time was about 20-40m off the ball, filling space on the...
I have my doubts they'd go for that deal but if we could swoop on Toumpas before Magpies lite do it would make our mids pretty darn strong for a long time. It would mean we'd have to draft a ruckman later on and maybe rookie list one as well but you can shuffle the deck chairs afters surely...
Hey guys, . I am very confident Dangerfield will stay in Adelaide for another term. I see GHS is inked to make his debut this weekend. Another SA boy to add to the list. You have done well with SA draftees in the past, and I reckon George will continue the tradition. As far as them coming home...
Based on a quick index considering top 5 player quality, list depth and draw rating, my table predictor, which admittedly looks very similar to 2011, is:
Geelong
Hawthorn - great top end, and great depth
Collingwood - if it aint broke-don't fix it. They have erred and may fall more
West...
So you think you will get an equivalent seat?
Given that we have premium seats on the Western wing in the second tier, I cannot see any chance of us gaining equivalent seating given the AOR site comment. Understand the club has to cater a whole lot of coterie wishes and desires, but I fear...
Pet or Pet Project? Perhaps Sando is only too well aware of what Geelong are going to throw at him at the end of this year. It won't be money that keeps him here......
Re: Maric done deal
I may be Ivan's biggest fan of all, but even I had to concede that, in one of his games early in 2011, the big fella was just not up to it. Whether that's the hip restricting leaping ability, or a lack of confidence I am not sure. Whilst you could never question his desire...
Why cant we trade the Davis compo pick to GWS or GC for a pick that would snare Wingard?
Douglas to GWS for a pick to get Kennedy?
A good get would be Howard in a deal for Gunston
Grigg or Mckenzie at pick 10
Bock compo pick for Maric to use in 2012
Apple corer for Armstrong
Now that GC have pick 4 this year, do we trade for that to snare Wingard in this draft? Or Redden from Brisbane. Tippett plus 10 for Gorringe and 4?
Use the compo pick for Davis to get Kennedy?
Day could be a bust like Sellar, or could be a Riewoldt. Are we in a position to gamble with our...
You are an astute judge S18. Pfeiffer has been doing well with the Legs the last 2 months, and in his own words "has matured". Has lost nothing that won him a spot on our list first time around, and has hopefully moved past most that cost him that spot. New regime and clean sheet, he is one I...
GWS anyone?
Will require a trade. Gold Coast did well with Smith but needed fraser as a mature bodied ruck. Not sure of the Giants' big man potential, but would think Maric fits the age criteria etc Sheedy is looking for
Dear Triggy
I have had enough. Not with the AFC, who ihave followed with great passion, but with the AFL. This contrived, manipulated and orchestrated "competition" has lost me for good. I took the Gibbs debacle, I have taken the finals programming crap, I even took the Bock decision on the...
