Dunno about that. The AFL would wet their whistles at the Giants in a Grand Final. Never underestimate their total love of selfish greed

They won't match as the system is set up that they will get a far better deal from the comp pick. Gold Coast can make all the stands they want about being raided. Truth is their club is run like total shit. They have a horrid culture & the sad reality is - nearly no one in Qld or even the Gold...

The other thing about Durant & the NBA is - Durant is not really on that much less money to be there. Players are capped on what they can earn - a Max contract is a max contract. Plus they are earning bullshit money. Who ares if you are earning $30million over $35million - especially if you are...

Its been reported he will be on around $800k. He was offered well over that at the suns, but he wanted out of the Gold Coast and who could blame him. I think the big story here is, the only team that offered him way and above more money than Richmond was the Suns. would have been interesting...

The irony is, of all the clubs ever - Carlton are the team that should have no say in this conversation. Before the salary cap and drafts, Carlton totally did this for decades - Kernhan, Bradley, Motley, Dorotich - Carltons entire history of success was built on the drawcard of being the...

Pffffffffffffhhhhhhhhtttttttt - you wish.

Mate, after the 5 years we all had to hear about your teams illegal drug program every-fricking-day, i think you should just sit in the corner and wait for your turn.

Was anyone else bamboozled by the final line of this article of the AFL.com article? "The Crows are keen to land local talent Jack Lukosius, who will be available at this year's NAB AFL Draft and could be selected at the No.1 selection, which Carlton currently hold...

also i think the list needs to be amended to be players over 32, 30 is way too broad

Richo for mine - just because of the nature of it. He re-invneted himself as a power forward into wing-man and actually increased his stamina, ground covered and incredibly, added elements to his game. For a big bloke who had a career riddled with injury - it was an amazing feat. A lot of those...

we might have other gears, but its folly to think you can just use them on demand. Thats my biggest concern. Last year we went into finals playing a high scoring style and totally smacked our opponents - went in with a lot of gusto, this year feels a lot like we are limping in quite casually...

Thats pretty much what i thought. As a Richmond supporter we have had many of our "9th" seasons in years where we started of very well then suffered injuries - continued to be brave despite those injuries, but come the final month we had that 1 loss we thought we should definitely win - but...

Actually lets deal with knobhead hawks guy with facts. As The Pies are missing several key players, have a backline that is totally massacred and going in with make-shift KPD's, while coming off 2 very gruelling tough, heart-breaking & physically taxing loses in a row -are they at threat of...

ooooookkkkkkkkk. I remember when hawthorn won flags - and pretty sure i remember that your supporters were still allowed to converse with football fans about football stuff - was that one of the new rule changes the AFL made?

Am I the only one looking at this match and seeing warning bells everywhere for Collingwood? Lions have been in excellent form while the Pies have been incredibly gallant with injury, but the signs are there they are running out of gas - t history does show that teams gallant with injury tend to...

lol, no you wouldn't - the guy is far and away the best player in the league. Guy is playing football like Lebron plays basketball - if he wants to be at your club, you just praise Allah, Jesus and Buddha and count your premierships

Exactly , so let's just remove them from the equation completely. It has taken less than 2 pages for everyone here to come up with several reason why they are not needed at all ( constant sub rotations), how they could be removed without affecting player rehydration ( afl employed drink boys )...

Spot on. They are not needed. They should be able to continue to do what they do, but only along the outside on the boundary - so never actually on the field of play. It's a bit of a joke on the game really, it looks shit and just creates an ex factor of something other than the players...

It's totally ridiculous. How a clear rule is not in place already where a runner cannot be within 20m radius of any stoppage is a joke. In reality, I would be quite happy if they were not allowed on the ground at all - or at least a very clear rule where it is near impossible for them to be...

How the hell could they have been so obsessed with trigg getting sacked, then hand no one at essendon more than a 1 year ban????? The crimes are not even in the same ballpark

Both Carlton & Adelaide should retrospectively appeal their past sanctions. Who cares if essendon miss finals- all they are missing is playing 1 more game they would have most likely lost. The whole thing is a joke. In 12 months hird will be coaching, they will be back in the draft, they will...

Heard today from someone who is mates with some head honcho in the Sports Science department at the GC that Dank apparently contacted them about working with them and he had a "program" we wanted to put them on. The GC official didn't really know much about the said program and replied along the...

Just watched possibly the best interview i have seen in a long long time. Anyone who missed it and have Foxtel - make sure to set your recorder to get the late session. Was brilliant & a big hat's off to Mike, Gerard & Paul.Slammed him on EVERYTHING the fans have been sick of and did not accept...

Why is this i a Richmond thing? Except for 1 of us, none of us denied he deserved the penalty handed to him, which essentially ended his career. We accepted it, we don't feel hard done by - and neither does he. Totally just making this a "how about those Richmond Supporters, huh? " scenario...

No, the AFL commission in its entirety are to blame for what happened in 1997 and 2011. Jackson was in charge when it first went down and he ignored it, and AD was in charge in 2011 when Justin came forward and again tried to raise the topic, but they CLEARLY made him & his information feel as...

I think you are making some real good points about this & its probably a good discussion for another time, but it's not really the point of the thread on this. I think the Justin Charles incident from 2011 has definitely a piece of the puzzle to this whole controversy & i personally hope some...

not the point - again, read the article and the post and you will see its not about his punishment in 1997 - its about his attempt to put things right in 2011 that were shunned and laughed out of town by the same people he sought to help. Seriously people - he did something wrong in 1997 for 4...

What happened to Justin in 1997 ( ? ) is not the point i'm trying to make here. He pretty much did get banned for life anyway as after the ban he only played 2 games & without the steroids, he was unable to get over the injury, the reason he took them in the first place. It's what happened in...

I've already posted this in the Richmond thread, but i think its worth mentioning here in light of all the news. Remember this? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/mor...-in-drug-scandal/story-e6frf9jf-1226082374363 FORMER TIGERS RUCKMAN JUSTIN CHARLES CLAIMS SENIOR AFL OFFICIALS GLOSSED...
