    Players who passed away during their playing days?

    There was a young guy playing for West Perth 3rds or 4ths somewhere in the mid 70s. Died during a game from some sort of previously undetected heart defect. His father died a few years later of a heart issue. He had played in the SANFL, i think in reserves. I worked with the mother, but the...

    60,000 capacity crowds at Optus Stadium

    AFL "College Football type draft system"

    It could be instructive to study the college and high school structures ( as well as junior high and some others) to get a clear understanding of the US system. Lots of huge donors among alumni in the college system. The uni I attended has a 70,000 seat stadium. It was renovated and expanded a...

    Analysis Melbourne Storm & GWS

    Storm was hardly a start up club, no matter revisionist history. They were developed from the Western Reds. Got some very good senior players, the junior organisation, and lots of infrastructure. Storm had a huge head start over whatever was given to GWS.

    Every game of the final round played at the same time

    TV rights Enough available grounds. Unlike EPL, multiple time zones across a big country. While the sense of many games being meaningful, there have been some great finishes over the last few years where the finals have been decided in the last game or so (sorry Melbourne),

    More review controversy with a goal clearly touched

    McLachlan said that there were four "guys with football experience" who were trained in exercising reasonable doubt to make the calls. So, now we know where they have re-deployed the Behavioural Awareness Officials. My take, crap images are crap.

    Dale Morris - ACL recovery

    All a rather odd quote. My experience of being cut open and stitched back together is that they do everything possible to prevent blood clots. I cannot understand why he would want to be promoting them. Blood clots have the potential of killing you. Anyway, wishing him the best for his return.
