    I dont think Carey is in the top 100 players to play the game

    Only because Carey wanted to arm-wrestle Jakovich. Massive ego thing. If he had of run off him he would have beaten him every time.

    I dont think Carey is in the top 100 players to play the game

    They are all full forwards. Carey played CHF, compare him to Richardson or Lowe or Grant

    I dont think Carey is in the top 100 players to play the game

    He would bring other players into the game. If he didn't mark it he would tap it to advantage for his crumbers. He would clear the way for other key forwards. In the wet he would get 20+ and 15 marks as a CHF. He could kick goals from outside fifty and his field kicking was elite. He would run...

    Play Nice Was that Gaffs last game for WC?

    Possibly, but Barry Hall had a history of wacking players illegally and ending a few careers. His reputation was built on more than just the Staker act.

    Dear Mr Hodge and Mr Lewis (CC Mr Clarkson)

    I work with some under 8 and under 10 Auskick players, new to AFL. What should I be teaching them? What should I be telling them about the spirit and the ideals of the game? Are you the leaders of the best club in the land? Are you the champions everyone should be aspiring to? Well done Mr...

    Violence and intimidation (Discuss Penalties in the MRP thread)

    Not a brain fade when he does it to the same player multiple times, that's called pre-meditated

    Violence and intimidation (Discuss Penalties in the MRP thread)

    Would not put Carey, Darcy or King with the others who were serial thugs and snipers

    Autopsy What we learnt from week 1 NAB 2015 (or the Good, the Bad and the Ugly)

    Didn't see all the games and certainly one game does not give much reliable data but it's always a bigfooty truism to draw long projections based on limited knowledge. Some are more insightful than others. For mine The Good. Very happy with the recruitment of Waite and Higgins at North. The...

    Four newest teams in the comp win the first four games

    Afl should be happy with that. Am looking forward to the day when the playing field is leveled and teams win because of better tactics, teamwork or pure talent as opposed to financial or draft advantage

    The boy that could fly

    Great post:confused: Daw's more than an athlete, he's raw yes but still managed to kick a bag of goals against his peers. He's not a basketballer who's just come across from the US or a sprinter looking for a career change, he has played a bit. Check out his tapes and look at his work ethic...

    Why not take it a step further How about a greek australians vs italian australians call it the Lonsdale vs Lygon Street cup or Scotish australians vs eastern european australians, the Mc's vs the ..vich's seriously the idea of an allstars side has been around for a few years and has worked...

    Rocket or Laidley is going to look goose

    It's definitely a case of rolling the dice. Don't forget to add Hansen to that, 197cm (same size as Petrie) and 19 touches last week.

    AFL Free Agency - the latest

    How about if a player plays 40+ games in two years the new team gives up their first selection 30-39 second 20-29 third 15-19 fourth 10-14 fifth 5-9 sixth 1-4 seventh That way teams know exactly what they are sacrificing. Its not perfect but no system is.

    Create an AUSTRALIAN term to describe the 'quarterback/sweeper'

    Blue Heeler? And if you put stuart dew into that role you could call it babe

    The complete footballer

    Agree, he destroyed us in the final.

    The complete footballer

    One of the things I love about our game is there is no such thing as a complete footballer. In some cases pace wins in others strength does or height or stamina etc, it's what makes our game the best game on earth. For a player you just have to use your strengths to the best of your ability...

    North Melbourne will be contenders in 2009

    Swallow and Urqs only played a handful of games last year.

    Who will be the first to leave their club for one of the new franchises

    Agreeing with others for the sake of it is stupid, agreeing with Dawks supporters...what's beyond stupid? As for the GC possible players how about N Ablett?

    AFL urged to take back control of its website

    Similar problems but in Hong Kong, one of the most technologically advanced and connected cities in the world. Their excuses are just trash. They should set up something that works before trying to screw punters over an inferior product.

    AFL urged to take back control of its website

    It's even worse from OS. I have paid for a 12 month subscription from march 2008 to watch games on the internet and they then sold off the rights to some dodgy provider in the UK. They have none of the archive material or any of the old games from past seasons and the team pages are empty...

    Top 5 full forwards and CHF's since 1970

    I always got the feeling that Hird was a very similar player to Hart in both physique and style of play. Were they a similar size?

    6 players you want in your team

    Ruck - Cox Forwards - Pavlich, Franklin (already got the best small forwards - Campbell, Thomas, Boomer) Mids - Ablett, Black Backs - Lake (we need a fullback), Wirrapunda ( I know he plays forward as well but he has just controlled games from the backline for the eagles at times)

    Sydney don't deserve one Footy team let alone two.

    Re: Sydney don't deserve an Footy team let alone two. I think you have hit the nail on the head, once there is some cross-town rivalry I reckon it will generate a bit more press and publicity.
