    Do umpires influence AFL game results

    Huh? Although not full time, they are very much professional.

    Cricket Australia & AFL Clash 2016

    The AFL has continued to extend and extend its season, continuing to insert split rounds to appease the AFLPA, with out reducing the number of games so the rights holders are kept happy. Cricket has the ground from October until March, Football from April to September. The cricket schedule is...

    How did you pick your team

    If it wasn't for South Melbourne relocating I'd probably be a Swan, but that move turned my dad off supporting a side in VFL/AFL footy. Mum's side of the family was mainly Hawks, so that's who I followed. My uncle took me to my first game in about 1994, vs the Swans at Waverley. Wasn't until...

    Wow, that video is hilarious. So we're comparing 2 piece of play where the player is attempting to fight through a tackle and a tackler trying to hold on as best they can to a player lying defenceless on the ground, being held stationary in a tackle when a third man in bends his arm up behind...

    Gym & Misc Irritating people/things that annoy you in the gym II

    Not sure if I was just in a bad mood, but everything seemed to piss me off yesterday. Had the usual not putting the DBs back in the right spot, made more annoying as I was heading to put mine back when he dropped his in the spot. We're adults, surely we can put our toys away properly. The...

    Some interesting names

    Rumour from somebody who used to have some good information, O'Farrell used to try and cheat the skin fold tests. Would not keep himself in the best nick and then try and starve himself and work it all down when the tests were coming. Did some sports reporting just after he finished.

    Actually just watching it this morning as part of my GF build up. In the last quarter the number of contests Dipper through himself into is amazing. Given the fact he had broken ribs and a punctured lung its absolutely amazing. Also obvious the Geelong players new he was hurt because they...

    Had a look on interests sake. If you're going to attempt to sell a standing room ticket for $700 or a M level ticket for $2000 don't try and give a story about a death in the family and being unable to attend. You are profiteering on true footballs fans desire to goto the Grand Final. Its...

    Her error count is higher, Chris Appleton would have been a far better selection. Luke Walker the other goal ump will be doing his 4th Grand Final

    Certified Legendary Thread 2012 Grand Final: Sydney v Hawthorn

    Was going to post in the banter thread, but this post probably doesn't suit that conversation. Looking forward to an awesome game boys. The old man was a swan, he grew up in Garden City, and despite being a Hawk it was drilled into me a kid that Bobby Skilton was greatest player to play the...

    After missing out in 2008 I weighed up whether to go for AFL membership or premium Hawks membership. At the end of the day knowing that I wouldn't be guaranteed a GF ticket until I was a Gold AFL member which was 10-15 years away it made it an easy decision to become a Kennedy Club member. 4...

    not guaranteed according to the letter from Hawthorn. If you don't go in to accept any ticket you no longer had a guaranteed ticket

    While I agree the window for registering should be longer than 3 hours, I can understand why they want to get 2 of the 4 prelim final teams done as soon as they can to save resources for the next week. Makes complete sense to spread it over 2 weeks. Personally I think the ballot should have...

    Opinion Top 5 Most Overrated Players Of All Time

    The Cho was a great player, one of the best contested marks to play the game and he kicked 800 goals even after doing his ACL very early in his career. One of the most mobile big men ever to play. Richo is a superstar. To judge him by the lack of team success is ridiculous, by the same...

    Yep, all right to go. Slightly disappointed that I had to register for best including standing when I'm a p1 member to guarantee a ticket, but thems the breaks. Will have to try and swap if I get one. I think the one question left, what are our chances of getting a seat that isn't...

    As far as I understand the group booking will slightly decrease your chances just because they will only allocated it to a group if there is a bank of 4 seat together. There will always be more single seats on offer (end of rows and such) than banks of 4, so based off that you will have more...

    The only reward for loyalty is having the highest membership possible. I know Kennedy club was upto having a waiting list and I assume Gold would be the same. It would be a risky move to give it up for a year as who knows when you'd get it back, this is the only way loyalty really comes into...

    Muff73, you pay for a seat, nothing more. If you're lucky enough to be around your own kind, that's great. Every week in N7 there are supporters from other clubs, and not once have I found it an issue. There has been more inappropriate behaviour from the Hawthorn supporters around. That...

    For any final outside of the GF if you really want a ticket bad enough, you'll get one. The sooking about "non-Hawthorn" supporters sitting in Hawthorn bays is ridiculous. One of the great things about AFL is the lack of segregation between supporters. I have experienced as many Hawthorn...
