    Autopsy Goal or post? - A pole.

    Whether it was a goal or a point I guess we will never know (Just like the Libba point or goal all those years ago), but the question I have is, if the goal umpire had signalled a goal and seen as every goal is reviewed, would the ARC have called it a point before the ball was bounced? Why not...

    Mabior Chol - The one that got away

    How is a player leaving as a free agent the club getting rid of him? Richmond didn't want him to leave, but couldn't match the offer GC made. But Yeah, "Richmond look even more foolish for getting rid of him", just as foolish as GC did for "getting rid" of Lynch and every other free agent that a...

    Steve Hocking Gone

    He pretty much got it in by just changing the man on the mark an extra 15m back this year.

    Steve Hocking Gone

    Because the player on the mark is not allowed to move. He has to wait until the umpire calls play on. I have seen many occasions where the player with the ball is level or past the player on the mark before the umpire calls play on. Not to mention when kicking for goal, players can run to the...

    Steve Hocking Gone

    Funny, I am watching less neutral games now. With the stand rule it effectively makes it 17 on 18 until the ball is moved on or the umpire calls play on. You als have a MOTM mostly looking at the umpire waiting for the umpire to call play on. This also give the player with the ball an even...

    Do Free Agency rules need to be amended?

    I just don't think there should be compensation at all. The player has been at the club for 8-10 years and is out of contract. Too many times clubs don't really want to keep them but want the top compensation. Not to mention that the compensation seems to be random based on the panel of experts...

    Do Free Agency rules need to be amended?

    Not really, because then in becomes a forced trade, not free agency. Free agency was brought in to allow for more player movement because the AFLPA wanted players to have more freedom of movement. If it became a forced trade then why wouldn't clubs just traded for the player with agreed upon...

    Do Free Agency rules need to be amended?

    There should be no compensation at all for free agency. In most cases (not all) the club losing the player go on about how they would like said player to stay but they do nothing to try and keep the player. In fact the compensation in most cases makes it a good proposition for that club to let...

    How can the AFL ensure a fair competition regarding Brisbane Lions?

    You play Collingwood this week and you would have then played them in Melbourne in round 22. Simply swap the fixture and you don't lose a home game. Then it is away against the bulldogs, so no lost home game there. Now depending on what happens over the next few days in QLD with testing and...

    Nathan Fyfe vs Dustin Martin

    Mind you that is only because of the way each team uses them. Fyfe is more relied in Freo's midfield so doesn't play as much up forward. When Dusty plays mid he doesn't run into defence. A lot of the time who ever plays on Dusty follows the ball and leaves Dusty standing on his own forward of...

    Get used to paying to watch AFL games on TV, says Eddie McGuire

    How is the government screwing over the public? Most people want to watch the team they follow and will generally watch whatever is left over. I didn't really want to watch Collingwood and Essendon ever Friday night. Some of the better games of football this year were on foxtel. The thing...

    AFL Wants to Send North to Tassie

    I don't think it is that simple to look up to 2010 as the time when kids from the 90's become members. Sure some of them will, but it takes a lot of kids from that time until they are 23-25 before they start making a good disposable income. If kids started supporting North from the mid 90's...

    Coaching 'Legend' Terry Wallace Looks Closely At Richmond's List

    If people actually bothered to listen to what he had to say rather than just dismiss him because you blame him for everything that has happened to Richmond for the last five years you would have heard what he had to say. He said that he expects Post and Rance to be the big bodied backmen to...

    Richmond-Who takes the fall?

    There has been a few in this thread that have said that the whole club needs a clean out from the President down! Could you tell me why the president and the board need to be removed? The President and Board have been quite good really. Off the field the club is healthy and has been making a...

    Boomer Harvey chicken wing tackle - was it legal?

    How many people who are commenting on this tackle have actually seen it or are just quoting Chicken wing tackle because they heard some media person use the phrase? Jackson had Harvey’s right wrist in his hand with the arm slightly to his back. When the momentum of the tackle went forward...

    Richmond Tactics Suck!!!

    In both cases when this happened the ball was kicked back into play and then kicked back to the goal line (very common practice in modern footy). In both cases instead of kicking to a contest a rushed behind resulted. All the proposed rule changes here would not work as the ball was kicked back...

    Left footers..

    True, but Cameron is a natural Right footer. It all comes down to skill level. There are some great left footers, but there ar some equally as bad. Just look at D. Kellaway, he is a leffty.

    Is this Real?

    Re: Re: Is this Real? Johnson is good, but there is no way Richmond will give up Torney, Tivendale and swap the #4 for the #14 pick for him. So I would say this is BS as well! If the #4 pick and Torney is going to Adelaide for Johnson I don't see another play being given away for free...

    Headland quits Brisbane

    Carlton/Richmond/St.Kilda could always offer him a one year deal at a reduced cost with the understanding that they trade him to one of the Western Australian teams the following year. Not ideal for Headland but a way of getting home with only a one year delay.

    Travis Johnstone set to sign with Carlton ?

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Travis Johnstone set to sign with Carlton ? It is 7 or less wins, so that leaves the lottery between Carlton, St. Kilda and Richmond.

    Brisbane AFL lovechild awards

    Of all the goals and marks of the year contenders that were show, were they all from channel 9? I think that they missed showing some of the great ones that happened on channel 10 and just showed and picked ones when they happened on channel 9.

    I've lost respect for you Pagan

    Re: Re: I've lost respect for you Pagan And also stated by Pagen, he was a Carlton supporter when he was a child, and also tried out for their Under 19 side. So, it would be more than just money, like Sheedy he now gets to coach the side that he grew up supporting.

    West Coast Vs Essendon - Umpiring...

    As I remember the rule, a deliberate trip by hand is now a free kick and a 50 metre penalty, but not a reportable offense. A trip by foot can be reported, but the automatic 50 metre penalty for a report was abolished a couple of years ago.
