Being reported that Gil has approached Paddy to ask him to join the AFL Commission as a current player, club captain and President of the AFLPA. Interested on where we all sit with this approach. The Commission by its nature is meant to be made of independent members. Is it reasonable for...

Seems that Andrew Dillon has been announced as the next CEO to take over from Gil when his time is up. What will Andrew bring to the game and is he the right choice to take the game into the future?

As raised by Kochie today and The Australian, if it is being considered under a new tv rights deal to remove all Freo, WC, Port and Ade games form FTA then that is an absolute disgrace and the league should be ashamed. If this doesn’t demonstrate where the leagues priorities lie and that...

Im sure all AFL clubs likely hold a number of records which they are not proud of or want to be remembered for. What are some of the unwanted records that each club has the honour of holding? Port are lucky enough to hold a number of these highly sought after unwanted records. Including...

I was genuinely surprised to hear last night that the Lions have not won a game at the MCG since 2014. This raises the question if they can win the GF given their continued poor performance at the ground? Historically, they have played at the MCG 53 times for only 15 wins and a winning % of...

As humans, we all display bias on a daily basis whether we are aware of it in our decision making or not. Conscious and unconscious bias affects every decision we make and that extends to the Brownlow and how umpires interpret the game and votes. Over the past number of years, the perception...

Looking over the names of all the clubs B&F awards, it appears from the outside that some are named after players who in comparison to others, have received significantly fewer playing or coaching accolades over their careers for their respective clubs. I mean no disrespect to these past...

Next week there is a huge decision for the AFL which will demonstrate if it maintains the integrity of the competition and the rules or if they shift the goal posts being finals and to suit certain teams. Weightman was subbed off and out of the match after a head knock. The dogs are already...

Who is the AFLs biggest flopper? Selwood has built a career on being courageous at times and a great player no doubt but will also be remembered for lifting the shoulder for a free kick after dropping the knees. Shuey, like Selwood loves drawing a free kick but a much less courageous player in...

Warning - long post incoming! Now that my season is officially over, it is time to have a look back at where it all went wrong and some of the bad decisions that i made at the trade table. Round 2: Dangerfield (Sus) and Young to Mills and Markov. A fine start to the season like many with...

With the recent saga with multiple GWS and Swans players being forced to isolate (also Dunkley) and miss the game minutes before the game was scheduled to start, it brings an interesting dilemma which I’m sure the AFL simply hopes doesn’t occur. If this was to happen before a final or the GF...

I thought it would be interesting to see how unique our teams are. Are we selecting similar players as we share a lot of insights on this board or do we all select certain “break out” players which significantly changes our teams. I have added the selection % of each player in my 22 onfield...

I’ll start off by stating I don’t plan this thread to become a discussion about why a certain player from my club wasn’t selected over a certain player from your club debate.. but is it time the selection process for the AA team is overhauled and clear selection parameters are put in place when...

Well doesn’t seem we have one yet and it’s qtr time of the first match of the round. Prelims round so everyone have at it! Gaff, you’ve already annoyed me for the round...

Simple question but I’m sure there is a wide range of thought on the idea if it should be allowed. Should clubs be able to sell home games like WCE tried to with North for the last round of the year...

surely burton has to cop a week for his bump on Higgins that left him out cold. Although it may have been accidental contact they need to be consistent after the Robbie gray suspension in the preseason. 2 players going for the ball before bracing at the last moment, knock to the head and out...
