Harvey has got so much credit in the bank, he could survive an economic depression let alone a recession.

Some tall forwards stand and leap for their marks - Koschitske. But others rely on a lead, they barely leave the ground - Gehrig, Riewoldt. The aim of all leading forwards is to get a break on their defender often with the help of a block from a team mate like Milne. If the forward gets a break, ver...

In 2004 we had a very sucessful game plan but eventually its' dependence on "marking forwards on the lead" was exposed. When the opposition coaches first saw the saints beaten by flooding the 50 metre zone, they all quickly adopted it. GT had no plan "B". He was too arrogant, he ...

Why not just send Demetriou to West Sydney permanently, then the AFL could save 1.4 million.

When assessing the value of trades it is always wise to consider the player's remaining life expectancy. Example: Carlton traded a young draft pick No 4 in Josh Kennedy and a No 3 draft pick. West Coast will get a full playing career from each of these players. Carlton on the other hand only gets HA...

RL is not being truthful about the captain only flipping the coin. The captain is also a major marketing element within the club. When Cousins was first caught being a dope, West Coast took away the captaincy because he could no longer be used for marketing. Hayes will make the best on field team le...

I thought Carlton had appointed Chris Judd captain of all 16 AFL clubs.

Last year the problem with Riewoldt's kicking was that as his kicking leg when forward his upper body went backwards. It is a bit like hitting a golf ball with your body falling backwards instead of your weight going forward. The ball can go anywhere but does not go far. He needs to keep his upper b...

I say sue Demetriou and Anderson instead of the AFL.
They are paid so much most of the AFLs discretionary cash must end up in their pockets.

The biggest change from last year is: Instead of hugging the boundary all the way from the kickout to the mark inside 50. When the ball gets to the wing, centre the ball (to the goal to goal line corridor) just outside the 50 metre arc. The kick inside 50 then allows the forwards to lead left, right...

Poor Ashley Porter does not understand - the game is Australian RULES football. The game is played by the RULES. X was in the clear, he knew that under the NAB cup rules, if he kicked from outside 50 metres he could score 9 points. He tried but the ball dropped short and was rushed through for only ...

So we lose if super goals only count for 6 points but what about 2 rebounds off the goal posts. If they count for 1 point the better team still wins don't we.

Raph gets heavily criticised because he is a first round draft pick No 8 in 2003. Similarly Richmond supporters absolutely hated Fiora because they felt he turned out to be a waste at pick No 3 in 1999. First round draft picks carry high expectations and when they don't meet them they get criticised...

The best part of this win is knowing that Andrew Demetriou has to sign a cheque to the St Kilda football club for $385,000.
That is really going to stick in his throat. Heh! heh! heh!

The world is full of failed talent.

Sucessful application of talent is a lot rarer.

Raph has to deliver on his talent. X has already admitted that it time for himself to start delivering.

HARD BODIES don't count if they are built on SOFT TISSUE.


These two need to spend more time stretching their hamstrings and less time pushing weights and doing community work.

Craig probably had a bonus clause in his contract for winning silverware.

Rugby players are especially good at tackling from the front. Most AFL players are only good at tackling from behind - that's what they get taught in junior football. With players trying to run past with the ball these days, tackling from the front becomes more important in AFL .

Michael Frost dumped by Footscray after 13 games. Sheldon wasted a first round draft pick No 8 on him. Sheldon said he was hard at the ball. Pity he hardly ever got the ball. Only played 11 games for the Saints. Good one Kenny.

Most over rated player of all time has to be Eddie McGuire.
He's won countless matches, even premierships for Collingwood, but he has only ever been on the ground after the match was finished.

There is a lesson to be learnt from the 1997 grand final. Your star players get you into the finals. Your weakest players lose you the finals. (Because you don't have the confidence to play through them and opposition coaches can exploit them). If you play with six forwards you must have six avenues...
