The AFL has come in for criticism, as partly acknowledged by their comments during the course of this season. It is my opinion that the response(s) of the AFL we have heard this season do not address the issues the AFL has and where these issues are seeing supporter support fall including attendanc...

11 fewer games on free to air. How is that a "win" for the ordinary fan? they were Carlton games. Ch 10 or 9 will be sold the Saturday afternoon game, Fox has ‘on sell’ provisions. Still don’t see how Ch 7’s “3 games per week” at $900 million for AFL rights is better than Ch 9’s “4 games ...

Using some of the coin to buy out Etihad should be pretty high on the list. That would help us greatly. Can I ask how? Etihad is now a 12 month stadium, if the AFL buy it outright, it will only be used 6 months of the year. A-League and major concerts will be charged a fortune to use the stadium if...

As if Parramatta is a leading NRL club, they are in some strife too. Mate, I'm currently not loving the AFL admin at the moment - I hate how they have meddled in the Essendon Saga and it's such a bad look, they haven't done themselves any favours at all in the PR stakes all by themselves!! As for P...

I dont think the WADA case is out to prove they were blatant drug cheats - even comparing them to Armstrong shows how far from the actual issue the whole saga has come. We aren't trying to prove that the whole squad was juiced up to the eyeballs in known proven performance enhacing substances like ...

What are people's views on Bomber Thompson. Can they bring him back now? Or will they totally start from scratch with an outsider? I assume the latter. If Essendon had any brains at all they should take a very wide berth from Bomber Thompson, I'm of the view that he was most likely pro-active in th...

Hird still playing the victim card. Who's to say he isnt the victim here? You and I will never know the truth. So the players didn't receive 1,000 injections that unaccounted for? Regardless of the wada outcome - we know Essendon had an injection regime for which records wre shifted from EFC HQ in ...

Ess should be happy if anyone takes him, Ess is not in a position to bargain at the moment.

Your posts rock BigC. Sheeeiiittt! :shock: Big C!?! Didn't he take over Marlowe's corners??? Mus be where thet der Gooooodes gets his drugz from. No wonda youalls know so much bout dis sheeeiiittt! Hey Big C, partner. Just quietly on the side, if youall ever needs to invest some of youall's 'earnin...

Be careful what you wish for . . . Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor, cancer charity founder and seven time TDF champion would have loved to have the AFL in his corner. If you remember Lance tried very hard to weld his persona/image to the anti cancer cause: criticize me and "you are obviously ...

what a complete load of friggin bollocks this mess has turned into...on both sides Hi all, My personal view on Goodes is that public opinion went again him after he publicly humiliated that 13 year old girl at the MCG, then got Australian of the year for it.

Fitzpatick's stadium. Call him.

Ex Melbourne Victory physio, isn't he?

RIP, very sad news.

Speaking of ‘interesting’ South-East suburban land acquisitions, this is worth a look from our dear friends at Essendon. Strong industry rumours that the sale of Dairy Bell was not warranted, and that the sale was "forced" on them. Hmmm http://www.smh.com.au/business/capital-gain-dairy-bel...

Try to put petty rivalries aside because this is actually an issue where we all need to come together.

I like the boy. Good logical thinker.

Hi all, This is the time where you need to think like I did, for Mark Thompson and his dodgy property deal at Armstrong Creek, Geelong. This WILL Impact your club, as Hawthorn must have a relationship with the City of Kingston to have this section of land in Dingley. Hawthorn will now be lobbying th...

Hi all, Wish the Saints well in this debt issue. In terms of the Saints Coterie Club/Cashed-up Powerbrokers, who have the Saints got (besides L Fox?)
