I would also appreciate a PM, if anyone is feeling generous.

More interesting is to speculate on the turns of phrase Dennis Cometti will come up with for them.

"Emerging from the contest it's Billings who comes out on top. A long kick to the wing finds Acres in, well, plenty of space."

I've got nothing for Dunstan so far.

Maybe James Hird. But apparently he's unavailable.

A coach who is known to be able to work with Chris Pelchen would be a good thing.

5. He nominated Carlton as his preferred club.

A day game in Melbourne before round 22 would be nice. I wouldn't mind being able to take my daughter to the footy more than once a year.

I guess the point we've all been trying to make is that rather than looking at this as discrimination against whites, perhaps look at this as promoting our talented indigenous footballers in an exhibition series that means very little to the general public. So you're happy to see people treated dif...

The AFL endorses racism as long as it's the good kind. They only disapprove of vilification.

So to recap:

Calling someone names based on the colour of their skin = bad

Excluding the majority of players from selection based on the colour of their skin = good

No, I think it's wonderful that the first opportunity this season to take my three year old daughter to the footy is in round 22.

Surely a piss take? I reckon she'd be there for a bit of arse around the office and to make the boys sandwiches! http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2011/01/28/1225995/844966-julia-gillard.gif “There will be no misogyny under a forum I don’t lead” Maybe she could slot in at full forward then.

Quoted for truth. I wasn't hopeful before the season started but Melbourne's uncanny ability to implode yet again makes me think there's a sneaky chance.

I love that word.

You have to admit he came pretty bloody close. Close enough that you can't claim nobody ever will.

they will be fine cant see any players getting a ban tbh just think, we all get to see them running around tonight This is hard to read but everyone is backing off becuase there has been no more news on this but there's heaps of stuff happening in the background. The ACC must have something on them...

The part that has BJ on it, of course. They're miles ahead of us in that regard!

Last win was in 2008 against Adelaide, yes. I have no recollection of the match at all, but apparently it was hot. The last time we made the final (I don't like saying Grand Final about the preseason) was 2010 against the Bulldogs. I remember because I watched the first half at the hospital while vi...

In 2008 (I actually had to look it up to confirm that the Saints won it that year!) I recall a bunch of games decided by less than a goal. But I also recall my heart rate being quite steady throughout, and in fact laughing when we got in front with seconds to go in one match. A similar situation dur...

If I was CEO of a seasonal business, I would need a pretty good reason not to take my leave during the off-season.

It's in great shape and will only get stronger. This is what makes AFL so great. The fans love a great scandal. What gets me though is why we go to great lengths to stamp out drugs in sport yet I can go to any night spot I like on a weekend and purchase a smorgasbord of drugs with ease. I'm not so ...

Yesterday the worst case scenario was Essendon ceasing to exist.

Today the worst case scenario is no more AFL, NRL, ARU or A-League.

Holy peptides Batman, this is serious!

Then the lesson is 'beware keeping secrets'.

Lee and Hickey are easily the most anticipated. When Lee kicks a bag in the preseason I'd expect at least some of the pessimism here to be tempered. At least until round one.

Really he should be expected to play all 22 games. He's 22 and has been playing senior football for four years so it shouldnt be a body issue it will be form. I cant see any reason why Watters shouldnt be expecting 22 games out of him. Riewoldt, Stanley, Koschitzke, Wilkes. Can't fit em all in the ...

No doubt if he does the paper will describe him as a vital cog.

I had no problem with the sitting but we are not on a table, we have a ladder. And we don't support Saints, we support THE Saints. And what sort of a word is who've? Who've is a perfectly logical abbreviation of "who have". It may be logical but it don't make it right. It didn't look righ...
