Strongly disagree on the hands part. A good tackle in any sport should be able to be made with the hands wrapped in tape and completely worthless. Anything you are using your hands for should be in addition to the actual tackle, basically once you are reduced to using the hands you are already...

PS good luck to LT at the tribunal... Hopefully if he wins the AFL can gtfo on this stupid vendetta they are on.

As much as all that is true, none of it should matter at all to the MRP, Lindsay Thomas, like Goodes last week, did nothing wrong except for go for the ball. The only difference between the Goodes and Thomas contests was that Thomas got in first and won the ball, Goodes would have been identical...

Commiserations North fans. Know the pain but after the appalling Goodes decision last week Thomas was always ****ed... Awful decision by the way. Thomas WON the football in that contest. AFL is basically outlawing sliding for a football with this one or saying that Thomas should have dived head...

I don't know what we did to him over the offseason that has completely changed everything he is doing on a football field but I've never been so glad to be wrong about a guy... Does show just how much of this game is mental as he obviously hasn't changed anything physically.. My favourite...

Re: AFL says: venues required to provide prayer rooms This is great to see. How is helping get more people to the football and giving everyone an opportunity to exercise their healthy lifestyle choices a bad thing? I'm not religious in the least and would never use them myself but I fail to...

So add Trengove, Howe and Frawley to the North list then? /troll

Whilst they've been horrible the whole hindsight thing is a bit rich. Not to mention that plenty of the better sides haven't done much better. Take Sydney, our last "good" first round pick was Jude Bolton which was in the 90s. We've really only had Fosdike and McVeigh that would qualify as...

These pretty much sum up this thread. The basis of racism is treating someone differently because of their race, skin colour is no different to hair colour, eye colour, nose shape or foot size, it is a genetic element over which there is no control, either they are ALL fair game for humour or...

5 - Kennedy 4 - Bird 3 - Jack 2 - Bolton 1 - Richards YPOTY - Parker

Not sure my team will be any good... but. Adelaide - McLeod Brisbane - Voss Carlton - Murphy Collingwood - Pendlebury Essendon - Solomon Fremantle - Kickett Geelong - Bartel Gold Coast - Ablett GWS - Ward Hawthorn - Hodge Melbourne - Jeff White North Melbourne - Byron Pickett Port Adelaide -...

He kicked two out of Geelong's 12 goals, that is a pretty important contribution to me.

Not a great effort from us... felt like a very arrogant performance. We just kicked it forward like we expected to win, which against a team that had a man back at all times was never a good tactic... On individuals... Everitt - Awful, get him out now, offers nothing. Jetta - Solid, had a few...

According to Neil Cordy on Twitter it's tear of lateral ligament and highly doubtful for round 1...

1. Where are you from? Perth, born and raised. 2. Why did you start supporting the Swans? Didn't like the Eagles, Paul Kelly was my favourite player, liked the colour red. Always liked an underdog. All came together in about 1991/2 and just sort of picked Sydney. Thank god, if I'd been born...

Agree with this, as someone who was not a fan of his at all for a good half decade. A couple of years ago he finally realised that he isn't Adam Goodes and that his job wasn't to take the game on, I do wonder if we could have won a couple of flags if he of realised that sooner and got to that...

Voted other for Jude Bolton... has never got the respect or attention he deserves, imo.

I'm in, The Fish Shack. Cheers

Re: LeCras That ones from yesterday faisan. Basically that article would be MCL and season would be ACL, it's possible he did both as well. Shocking news for football so fingers crossed that it is "just" an MCL.

I'm interested... Finished 1,205th last year.

I think our decision making is a far bigger issue that our technical kicking skills. Take a guy like Mattner, he can be a lovely kick of the footy but his decision making is just woeful which means half his kicks are just long bombs after running himself into trouble. On the opposite end is a...

Too bad Kirky retired, he had this one in the bag! I don't think it is anyone getting a game at Sydney though nowadays. Kennedy is probably our slowest but I'd back him against plenty of other players. Sandilands is actually pretty fast once he gets going, can remember him running someone down...

Demetriou's focus is on making money and not on the product he uses to make that money, he has been perfectly clear about that. More clubs spreads the talent thinner and makes the quality of the game worse, it may very well generate more money though which is literally all that AD cares about.

NRL 1. Video Review on referee decisions. Pretty obvious. Any shot at goal in dispute should be reviewed, AFL is too fast, imo, for any further review system, perhaps you could officiate on out on the full decisions as well. 2. Free Agency. I don't like how the NRL system works, more...

I really hope they take this to court because this is just so wrong on every level.

Re: RIP: Tackling in AFL That may be the single worst rule I've ever seen. I would like to know why Grover(iirc) was not suspended for breaking Jonathon Brown's face. His action legitimate football action of spoiling lead to Brown's head making forceful contact with McPharlin's knee. Had he...

Why is it always "all things considered" and all things considered seems to be that Sydney is a horrible market. Being a horrible market isn't an excuse for a poor crowd figure. I don't understand why people accept that as a legitimate excuse. I don't like accepting mediocrity, maybe that makes...

Already addressed this but how is that remotely relevant to what I said? Why is the BF mentality to just pick a player from the posters team who does the same thing and try and deflect? Goodes is just as pathetic in his sooking to umpires and trying to win frees, hell he is one of the worst in...

Fair enough to question him, no one is calling for his head. If no one questions him how will he learn? His use of the sub has been absolutely horrible, he just doesn't seem to have a clue. He doesn't seem to put any real value on forward structure. I think he needs to realise that we aren't...

I hope so because my team were absolutely terrible tonight and I still intend on enjoying this weekend...
