This guy has an amazing ability to fly under the radar. The only piece written about him in the media was 6 months ago when Caroline Wilson :D chose to write a puff piece about the Wooden Spoon coach. At the end of the year are are we going to see a 2nd puff piece about a dual wooden spoon...

Simple question: If he was available, what would you offer for him?

Purely hypothetical situation. Lets say one day, Peter Bell is offered the position of CEO of a club and at the same club or different club he is offered the position of head coach. Which would he take? Which should he take? Which would you take and why?

Has improved every year and had a good year for South Fremantle. 3rd in the Sandover medal. Would be about 21 by now? Tall wingman that seems in vogue in the AFL, i'm guessing about 188-190cm. Could thrive in an AFL environment. Worth a punt. Any chance to be taken?

So do you think Channel 10's coverage of the game is professional? After watching a replay of last night's game, I would have to say no, they are not. They are akin to a backyard production. To highlight three things... 1. The 30 minute pre-game intro is terrible. That stupid voice with a...

A 208cm ruckman playing over here for East Fremantle. Originally from Port Melbourne I'm told. Is 23 years old and has really developed his game this year. Word on the street is that he will be drafted.

As an Eagles fan its pretty interesting to see that the Eagles vs Crows match is being viewed by many as the match of the round. However, after having our pants pulled down by a fading Pies outfit its pretty clear that this will be no contest. Although its in Perth the Eagles are really...

After the outcry against Eagles free kicks last week and his sledge against Geelong he obviously decided to square up the ledger... but it seems he went a bit overboard. The 50m against Judd in the first quarter, which resulted in a goal, was the worst I have ever seen. Numerous free kicks in...

Michael Gardiner isn’t the only Eagle whose playing future will be determined this week. After 6 years of injury and disappointment, Andrew McDougall appears on the verge of an unlikely recall. First of all he has to get selected. If he isn’t selected this week then it is clear that his career...

The Comeback Kids. Young weagles show off against premiers 32pts down at halftime, another great fightback by the fledgling Eagles youngsters, despite the Swans best attempts to rough them up. Shame McLaren did stamp down on them further. What was impressive about the Weagle youngsters was that...

After single-handedly destroying AFL interest in West Sydney and Canberra, it seems the Roos are off to make another half-baked attempt into a new market: the Goldcoast. Not only will this kill off Southport's momentum for an AFL license but in the long run the Goldcoast will now never have a...

http://www.sportal.com.au/soccer.asp?i=news&id=85341 Houllier out of running Football Federation Australia has run out of patience with Frenchman Gerard Houllier, scratching him from its list of men to replace Guus Hiddink as national coach. FFA had been seeking a legal guarantee that...

I just realised that the song that they play at the end of every world cup game is Go West, the old Village People song. Seems like a strange song to play, especially when you consider the gay overtones that the sport has often had to deal with. Is there a reason they do this because I can't see it?

An interesting game, but one of little significance to the talented Eagles. The bulldogs short people always play well at Subi and flood well. What was interesting, was that even though the Eagles were playing well below their capabilities, including the massive loss of Braun, they only lost by 9pts...

Raised elbow to the head of a Sydney player. Pretty clear vision and the Sydney player appeared to be in a fair bit of pain. 3-4 weeks?

How much character does this team have? Huge amounts of character. After coming back from 54 pts last week and 44 pts this week there is no doubt to the extremely large heart, work ethic and camaraderie of the West Coast Eagles football team. Well done boys :)

Up by 5-6 goals entering time-on in the last quarter... how can a team possibly lose from there? 8 goals to 2 in the last quarter. The question is: Will the Melbourne media be kinder on them than they were on Geelong? I say yes.

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/9469847?topfifty53006 1. Peyton Manning, QB, Colts: A lot of people will argue with this choice, but his remains the most important position. When he finally does win a Super Bowl, he will finally get his due. 2. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: He had an...

Congrats on the great win. I thought you guys played better for most of the game. Great game and well done.

After the draft this weekend you might want to watch video of your club's new recruits. Here is a link which contains many videos of NFL prospects... http://www.twincitiesminnesotablog.com/2006/04/2006_vikings_dr.html

The best player from the 2005 draft will be making his debut this week :)

http://www.realfooty.theage.com.au/realfooty/articles/2006/04/20/1145344220240.html CARLTON'S new president Graham Smorgon yesterday revealed that coach Denis Pagan had been ordered at the end of last season to adopt a youth policy and to adapt his coaching style to a less aggressive...

The Adelaide Crows have never had a F/S selection, which illustrates the problems of the F/S rule. At the cutoff which the AFL implemented there is a 5 year 'dead-window' where no F/S picks will be possible. Its nothing more than a technicality. If Bryce Gibbs was rated as a 3rd round pick then...

Blues vs Swans. Last years wooden spooners vs last years premiers. The matchup always had the potential to flare up and turn ugly... yet there are surprising similarities between the two sides. Interesting to see the Blues fans criticisms of the Sydney Swans gamestyle given their side's...

Hard to know what to take out of a game against Richmond, but the trend is becoming clearer: the Weagles are emerging as a dominant force with 20+ goal scorelines becoming the norm with their absolute wealth of forward talent. With the draft period over, teams must think of new strategies to...

I remember last year that Colin Wisbey rated this guy very highly, #7 overall in last years draft. Well I just watched him on TV tearing up West Perth, had about 20-25 possessions and 3 goals, including the sealer. Looks quick and hard-at-it. Does alot of the 1%ers, diving into packs, smothering...

According to this article... http://www.theage.com.au/realfooty/news/AFL/Pagan-signs-for-three-years/2005/03/29/1111862389808.html Pagan is paid $630,000 a season. In 2005 that amounted to $157,500 a win. This would have to be the highest ratio of money to wins in the history of the...

Im not a greenie or anything but im wondering if someone can answer this question. Why does the Australian Government actively stop and detain Indonesian fisherman in Australian waters but not Japanese fisherman?
