I was happy to accept round 2 after the heavy track in Sydney. no-one could accept last weeks performance but, to their credit the boys turned it around and showed what we can achieve with effort , some of it wasn't pretty but they deserved the win. If they apply the same effort every week we can ma...

Hands up all those who aren't injured and are prepared to put in EFFORT? OK you've got a game. Now the coach only has to worry about playing to their strengths, not a big problem really. It's just a matter of attitude really and a lot of players had an attitude problem on Saturday. No respect for th...

Players don't lose their talents overnight, they weren't playing as a unit. they obviously have inter-personnel issues and Ratts as head coach should be able to sense this changed mood in the camp. Call out the problem people. The leadership group tried to lead by example rather than calling out the...

I'd like to see individual players front the camera and explain to the fans why they couldn't be bothered putting in a effort. If there is dissatisfaction within the ranks the coach and football dept. need to address the issues. As fans we only ask for effort for three hours a week and are let down ...

Pathetic and shambolic. The players have no respect for the coach if they are not listening to him. I presume he did give them a message at quarter time, and certainly at half time, as it's too late for messages at three quarter time when you're that far behind. There clearly wasn't a Plan B but at ...

Go to AFL site, on the MATCHES drop box is Broadcast Guide.

I'm on the $257 ultimate package as well in case we make the GF. It appears that if I use my $20 voucher and apply the 15% discount from the loyalty programme (21 yrs) I only have to pay $1.25 for the cap I used to get for free. But I'm in Gladstone so no free games are going to cut it anyway.

It seems the coach has come up with a devilish cunning plan (Sorry Baldrick) Who would have thought playing football for all four quarters could produce such a result. It even overcame the yellowish problem we sometimes succumb to. Methinks this plan has merit.

Time to Reset the AFL Let’s use this opportunity to reset the AFL. This is a game of football many young men would love to play so there is no shortage of willing participants. Sack everyone and reemploy them on wages the competition can afford. But while we are doing that reset the financial model ...

One thing we surely don't have is any more excuses. New coach new everybody, all the trades done so I expect to be booking my accommodation in Melbourne for the finals. After two years of apathy its time to start giving something to the fans.

AFL admits it was a mistake but won't take 6 points off Freo's score which would give us the win.

AFL has no credibility. Remember the Essendon acupuncture affair. hundreds of needles but nothing illegal. They' either don't understand the meaning of the word or they've got a different dictionary to everybody else.

A lot has been said about biased umpiring and it looks as though we are rolling over again. I'd just ask if we could get a clear definition of a sling tackle because clearly Nic Nat has a different concept to everybody else and the umpires appear to agree with his version. If the player can stand up...

Just hope the coaches don't get too upset if a player does an ACL before the real season starts. I'd prefer to see a 34 round home and away season. Unfortunately the AFL don.t appear to be in a hurry to have an even competition. I think we'll be stuck with an AFL orchestrated FIXture for a long time.

My concern right now is not what Essendon get over the next few years but what the CEO in charge of the greatest game of all has just perpetrated on the brand. Having stated publicly that no further action will be taken against a club which has just lost 17 players to the code for the next season FO...
