The two seats next to me were empty up until 5 minutes short of half time. The guys had walked from Richmond station. They thought they were lucky because they were able to disembark at the station whilst those on trains in front were trapped. One of the guys had paid about $80 (MCC member and a gue...

Was Dempster's game really better than Sir Robert's.

Bakes hit no one.
The dockers guy wasn't looking where he was going and ran into the back of Bakes.
The dockers guy smashed his face on the back of Bakes head - Bakes has a tough nut.
Bakes was innocent.

Fraser Gehrig is a goal kicker not a tagger. He has not got the fittness, he should not be in the team to tag. Let Scarlett run up field away from him. If Gehrig is required to follow Scarlett, then sack the coach. Only an imbecile would expect the impossible. Clear out the 50 metre arc leaving Scar...

Voss is bang on the mark. How many times have I seen Riewoldt and Koschitzke both lead at the same time, to the same place, with both of their opponents in the same contest. When Dunstall and Lockett played together for Victoria they played for the team. Lockett set a block for Dunstall giving Dunst...

To hell with state government legislation - John Brumby barracks for Collingwood.
Is it any wonder our kids football grounds are rock hard slabs of dirt with a Collingwood supporter in charge of the state.

Guerra was never given a chance to replace Aussie Jones in defence.

Some coaches are fools. I remember one coach who kept playing Guerra on a half forward flank all the time. He was not a success on the half forward flank so obviously can't play. He goes to Hawthorn they try him on the backline. He proves he can play, it was his previous caoch who was a fool. Fergus...

Gary Ablett and Jimmy Bartel have a game plan that provides for accountable football. When Geelong have the ball or the ball is in dispute, go for it. If the oppostion has the ball, man up on your man. It is really quite simple, the opposition coach sets a hard tag on them. The tagger goes with them...

Dominating the centre corridor is the key to Geelongs success. Geelong supporters surrounding me, were pleased with how their team forced St Kilda wide, making our players kick for goal on the angle.. After centre bounces imagine Riewoldt in the centre square as a marking target. The centre square i...

Why does everyone have 3 players on each line for their team selections. There are no AFL rules that require you to have 3 players on the ball or on the half forward line. You don't even have to have a half forward line if you choose. The only position rules in footy are at a centre bounces when you...

Lenny played all home & away games except rounds 6, 7 & 8 due to collar bone.

It was only a left hook and I wasn't even looking.
Would you like to see my right upper cut before or after this hearing.

Saints gals are hot!

So we lost out on Judd because we were tricked into taking Ball first at pick No2 expecting to Judd at pick 5, we then got Dal Santo at pick 13. Does anyone seriously think we could have contained Riewoldt, Koschitzke, Ball, Judd, Dal Santo and Goddard within the salary cap. With Collingwood, Carlto...

Yep I have seen Ball kick further than 15 metres.
It had to be at least 15 metres because the umpires can't pay marks unless the ball travels at least 15 metres.

Geelong does well out of the Father-Son rule because Geelong wags understand the Mother-Son rule.
St Kilda wags don't want to spoil their figure with a pregnancy.

Hindsight is wonderful. If you want to rerun the 2001 draft here is what the umpires think. Rank, Player, Club, Pick No, Brownlow Votes 1 Judd C, WC/CA, p3 = 94 votes 2 DAL SANTO N, STK, p13 = 61 votes 3 Bartel J, GE, p8 = 56 votes 4 Mitchell S, HA, p36 = 55 votes 5 Hodge L, HA, p1 = 44 votes 6 Swan...

Everything said about Luke Ball is accurate, indisputable facts. With the benefit of early hindsight Judd would have been the best choice. With today's hindsight, given that Judd may never regain his former glory, Bartel taken by Geelong at No 8 or Mitchell taken by Hawthorn at 36 may have been bett...

Michael Gardiner only needs to play one good game - the one at the end of September.
Rix adds nothing. It would be better to give McEvoy the chance ahead of Rix. He would benefit more from the experience and not be any worse than Rix.

I was there when the Doc, wearing a Collingwood (Des Tuddenham's) jumper, lifted the cup.
I want to see someone wearing a St Kilda jumper lift the cup before I die.

X wasn't looking where he was going, West got in his path. X get knocked out.
Someone else was not looking where he was going, a guy stops in his path, someone else gets knocked out.
Baker gets 6 matches!
AFL is an abbrevaition for corruption.

OUT Lyon
IN Anyone who can coach and has a good game plan

Needs the real plugger to teach him to kick for goal.
Plugger had a scarce supply of the ball so rarely wasted an opportunity.

Good kicking is coached, but our coaches can't coach.
You would think a professional, full time footballer, would like to be able to kick long straight and WITH BOTH FEET.
But why bother if you are on good pay, just go out and have a drink.
