I'd go and ask Craig Bellamy if he was interested. Let Lenny handle tactics and go get the best coach in Australian sports' history. He is a motivator of men who sets high standards and calls it out when his players aren't meeting those standards. Sounds stupid, I realise, but f@&$ me, nothing h...

I do, that was my site. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

The AFL sold free agency on the basis that it will even up the comp as the top sides would not be able to afford them. Instead we see the Lynches and Camerons of the world finding their way to the top clubs. One wonders what deals are being done? Free Agency is about the player. The top draft picks...

It’s obscene giving them (again) priority picks and Darwin as their recruitment zone. It reeks of the AFL desperate to see them justify their expansionist dreams. Level playing field? Sigh. This absolutely helps to have a level playing field. No other club gets raided more than the GC and if this i...

Didn’t hear much whinging in here when we were the beneficiary of priority picks in 2001 that gifted us Kossi along with Roo and in the 2001 super draft that netted us Clarke. Yes they were the rules at the time, rules that encouraged tanking. If we were given a priority pick fir being crap for the...

Along with a suite of extra draft picks, including the No.1 selection this year, the Suns will also have new academy rights and priority access to Darwin talent. They will also be able to pre-sign Academy players without having to match rival clubs' potential bids for the next three years – startin...

Spot on.

Umpiring is a joke. Has been alright, letting a lot go Letting it go alright - including one that should have been a fifty for Membrey after a tackle in the middle of the ground (Carlton player runs into the protected area, no saints opponent - the very definition of the rule and it's not called) a...

Pretty obvious. Playing as a mid this year would have built up his tank enormously. It will help him be a better forward and a pinch hitting mid. Repeat efforts are a vital for a good small forward. So we sacrifice his best attribute (his ability to conjure up scoring chances) to help him build up ...

His time as a mid this year will help his game going forward. It will make him more dangerous around goals when we get a better midfield overall. It's his first year as a mid, again...give him a break. How exactly will playing a year out of position benefit him going forward? I'd argue it has actua...

Anyone that's sticks up for Richardson really is delusional. Players lack any kind of confidence at the moment and that's area number one a coach needs to take care of.

Craig Bellamy

Umpire if you think that’s a free see you later clear cheating. You really need to learn the rules. :roll: You can’t defend that it’s just blatant bias. One arm around the chest, other arm around the opponents arm. Learn the rules or stop spamming the thread with your sooking. What complete rubbish...

Umps are either corrupt or s@$t. Take your pick.

..that we can finally kick some deadwood from the team. Time to see what all of the youngsters can do under Richardson. No point hanging on any longer with the older guys so thanks for your service but we're moving on. Next week's team: FB: Simpkin Delaney Webster HB: Roberton Bruce Newnes C: Dunnel...

Fisher + pick 3 for Bruce + pick 1? They arent going to do that. Pick one is far to valuable. Sometimes I think people play games like NBA Live 2013, or whatever it's called these days, and trade the entire bench of the Washington Wizards for LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony...

Someone want to tell me why Simpkin is not an automatic inclusion? He was one of our best/toughest last year.

Don't normally wish bad luck for any opposition player, but boy I hope someone cleans him up soon. To be so tactless as to point the ball at a chasing playing and taunt them smacks of an arrogance that only a Collingwood player/fan/president could display. He had a good game playing with nobody mind...

Actually only 1/2 a game back as essendon have played one more game. Bit confusing the table now that the byes are in.

Played this today also. It's the only afl game worth buying since Aussie rules footy on the NES. Plays beautifully and looks fine. Very deep too with heaps of options like season, create a player plus online play. If you've been burned by previous afl efforts, relax because this one is excellent.
