Howdy all, Some very good efforts on here. Adding ours to the bunch, along with an additional section detailing teams looking to improve their positions. Phantom Draft - https://themongrelpunt.com/afl/2018/11/19/the-mongrel-punt-phantom-draft-2018 Draft Eve Extra -...

Hi guys, A little reluctant posting this as I prefer things to happen organically (and hasn't that really seen my love life take off!) but given this board is for the exact purpose of posting and promoting sites such as mine, I thought I may as well do it. Have worked pretty hard to have a...

Howdy guys - I'm obviously not a Cats fan, however I have the utmost admiration for your skipper. Posted this to my site this morning and thought this might be a good place to share it with Geelong supporters. I'll refrain from talking about our clubs' rivalry (although I absolutely LOVE it)...

50 goals and 100 tackles. Sounds easy. Never been done according to the link below. https://themongrelpunt.com/afl/2018/2/21/is-the-50100-club-out-of-reach Interested to hear what people think about this. A few have been close, but none have achieved it. On [device_name] using BigFooty.com...

Looking at the way Collingwood delivered him the ball last year, surely he's not been given enough opportunity as yet? This blog compares his three year stats to those of Joe Daniher, and after year five, Joe is a top five forward in the comp...

Heya, Just wrote a blog post about possibly the most revered aerial duel in history. Would be keen to have a chat about it on here if there are any takers? For mine, Knights is incredibly underrated. Two runner up finishes in the Brownlow. Just one win would see him held in higher esteem. I...

Howdy all, Just reading a blog post about players leaving and pulling on a different jumper. Thought this would be the best place to get some more info on the players that left and hurt supporters the most. I reckon Jezza to the Saints would've hurt Blues supporters a fair bit. Club legend...

If a player needs instruction, there is enough rotations these days for him to get them. Runners just seem to be out there way too often, and already this season there have been a number of incidents where free kicks have been awarded against the runners. Perhaps only allowed on the field after...

I know it's a simple rule - one goes off and one goes on. What it has become is a complicated situation where you have a guy whose sole job is to sit there and watch for one little mistake, which does not affect the play in any way whatsoever. What then happens does have a huge effect on...

I don't start many threads, but in light of today's events, I thought this one was warranted. Losing Josh Kennedy, I believe, will be a decision that comes back to haunt us in the future. I fully understand that people make decisions in the best interests of the club, and if these decisions...

Sorry guys, but there is no way we can take the high ground here and say that Lloyd should be suspended, have the book thrown at him, or anything like that. For the last week all we have read on this board is of Buddy's innocence and how hard done by he was by the AFL, and now people are on...

Interested to hear people's thoughts on this. Given that the game continues to change (since when has it been not good enough?) and that there are so many decisions pertaining to suspensions and ambiguous rules, I think it is time for clubs to present a unified front, get back on the front...

I'm pushing forty, have had a love affair with footy since I was a kid and have always enjoyed it on a number of levels - player, coach, member and spectator. I've been a loyal, passionate (and paid up!) supporter for virtually my whole life. Today I feel like giving the game away. What in...

Well, people are talking whether WCE will be losing draft picks as a result of the latest situation involving Ben Cousins. Personally, I believe that to be unfair. Cousins should take responsibility for his actions and step down, but the AFL have to look as though they're doing something...

Are Brisbane willing to deal Sherman or not? Disregarding last season, which was poor, he was very good in 05 - certainly good enough to be a nice addition to many sides. Brisbane fans - Is he up for grabs? Would you want to get rid of him? What would you want for him. Other fans -...

No, I'm not talking about what's down his pants!!! How good was that chase down on Pettigrew? The kid should've streaked away, but Ottens got to him and dragged him down. One of the best chases from a big man in recent history.

Following tonight's game, one Collingwood player really stood out in my mind as having done his job and then some - Travis Cloke. Sure guys like Dane Swan were good as well, but as a lead-up forward, Cloke was very, very good tonight. It was a pity he missed that get-able goal in the last...

I work just next to Holland Park in Kensington and this arvo, as I was taking in Melbourne's wonderful weather at lunch, I saw a bloke with about 15 gridiron balls, practising his punting. It was Brad Moran from the Kangaroos. Could he be the next AFL player to head over to the states...

Looking at the season as a whole, which players do you think really took the next step and had their value to their team rise over the duration of the 2007 season? In contrast, which players do you think had their value fall markedly this year?

With a couple of minutes left in the second quarter, he has amassed 14 total DT points. There goes the Grand Final...

I have criticized him in the past, but he was very, very good tonight. Hard at it, converted when he was in range and applied pressure to the Hawthorn backs as they tried to move the ball out of defence. Best game I've seen from him - ever.

When Pagan arrived at Carlton, he was praised for his efforts with Brendan Fevola, turning him into a leader and potential captain of the club. Given that Fev has fallen over this season (to this point, anyway. He may kick 8 on the weekend), is it indicative of Pagan wearing out his welcome...

Think of it this way - there's a gun pointed at your head. You have to make a tough decision. You MUST take three Richmond players to join your team, and play in your best 22 every week. Who do you take?

Hey all, Not a Pies supporter myself, but the missus, and one of my kids is. Anyway, was wondering what's happening with Sean Rusling. I know he required surgery earlier in the season (pre-season, I think) but I do remember Collingwood stating that he'd be back around Round 10. So, anyone have...

I watched the Footy Show last night, replete with the usual buffoonery, which I kind of like, and I got to thinking about Gary Lyon as a potential coach. Do you think that being involved in a humorous show, where he is the butt of jokes, has done some damage to his credibility? Would this impact...

Really, what else is he good at? Should play as a tagger. ;)

Given the paltry figure of the Melbourne v Freo game the other week, what sort of numbers are realistic for the Melbourne v Port game this coming weekend? Could it be the AFL's first ever lock in?

I consider myself a pretty go-with-the-flow kind of person. I don't get up in arms about many things, but driving to work today, I had the oportunity to listen to Triple M footy, and a guest they had on was none other than the boss, Andrew Demetriou, and the topic was sledging. Demetriou...

Hey all, Apologies if this has been asked a dozen times, but does anyone have a site that publishes Dream Team and Supercoach scores? Thanks in advance.

Attempted striking? Attempted tripping? Wrestling? Melee? These have to be the biggest crocks of faeces in regards to reporting and tribunal appearances, and make the game look absolutely weak. If it's an attempted strike, there's obviously no harm done. Same for tripping. It doesn't impact the...
