I very much doubt the club would approach Malthouse before Collingwood's season is over, I'll assume that is all Nettleford meant in regards to that.

Also if we couldn't offer RL the right price, what would MM expect? Malthouse probably doesn't want to go back to WA, plus i think he wants to stay near his grandkids. Time to convince our rich supporters to pitch in and build us a large fund to buy our way to a flag, seems to be the only way to do...

Are Jeld Wen pulling out or simply pulling back? I thought it was the latter... they did pull back and share a similair amount of sponsorship as centrebet. Don't know if that is still the situation. club has known about St george for some time it's to be hoped that the comeback over the season the ...

A Cafe hopping trip around the Frankston area (the players have been there a year and haven't found a good one yet apparently)

I wonder if this is a broadside...the mere threat of us going would give Collo heart pulpertations, surely? I can't see everyone stampeding over to the MCG as a long term solution. Besides, we have been subject to these conditions for many years, but it raises it's head as an issue when we make a l...

Mick Malthouse but only because heads would explode

I'd say that with the gastro, Ross just picked the 22 least effected players out of those taken to Sydney. Baker happened to be number 22 and Ross would have preferred to keep the structure as much as possible for as long as possible so Baker had to be the sub because we needed a forward and not ano...

My Trip to the Sandbelt: The Diary of part-time Coach, full-time Golfer

The one where he missed Milne?? in the centre square under very little pressure just summed up our night and in my opinion summed up Gram's season. It has cost us in bigger games than Friday night and it will continue to cost us in big games. Gram isn't the only one either. Yep Gilbert is shocking ...

On the subjecty of poor kicking, I thought Jones has improved out of sight with his kicking. Jones kicking just looks ugly, but it goes where it is meant to. Gram even at his best was about a 1 in 5 chance with his long kicks, now its out to 1 in 10. And even when his kicks are accurate, how they c...

Easy Solution for the AFL, introduce 3 Conferences of 6 You play your Conference H&A, and Half of each of the other Conferences at Home and the Other Half Away then next year you switch which one you played at home and which you played away. The Finals are made up of either: Conference winners +...

Could we have a rolled up banner set up over the Coventry sign so that when Milney kicks the record it unfurls and covers up the name with Milne. would be awesome, but only for the record breaking game other than that leave the ends named as they are.

That's not an innovation, the "big" clubs have been doing that for decades. Collingwood working out how not to get caught that's the innovation.

I honestly don't think we went up there with an attacking mindset, like we did against the Crows. That game was all all about attacking for 4 quarters. Against the Gold Coast - I think Ross was just putting the final touches to our defensive squeeze, particularly with our key forward sitting in the...

Dempster will replace Gwilt and someone will be brought in to replace Dempster

I'm waiting for the Age article "Herald Sun sued again!", Surely a prominent lawyer could make a good case for defamation.

not only that the sandy reserves had a bye one week with the seniors didn't. There were some st.kilda players who missed out all together.. playing in the st.kilda 22 and sandy 1s.. surely that doesnt help either. same happens for Geelong and Collingwood- same number of byes for each and neither ha...

But that's just my point. I don't think the VFL want that to occur. They don't want existing teams being driven out of the VFL. That said, Frankston are crap, and taking over them might appeal to the VFL. Makes a lot of sence to both sides, you would have the Frankston identity, honors ect being ma...

I thought the VFL (Schwab?) mentioned earlier this year that no other AFL stand alone reserves sides would be admitted to the competition. Something about them not wanting the competition to lose it's identity. Therefore, I'm not sure if it's even a possibility at this point. It is a possibility if...

Has anybody else noted the fact that the top two teams this year have their own reserves team and arent affiliated with a VFL club? Is the benefit of developing and playing kids in the position you want rather than where the affiliated club wants paying dividends to Collingwood and Geelong? Should ...

I'd say hes lucky to be offered the 3. The MRP could easily have classed the impact as severe considering the injury to Guerra.

Not really they've also sold a hell of a lot of games.

Personally, I think the AFL must come up with more silverware. I can't see how they expect clubs to survive in the AFL culture where winning a flag is the only measure of success. It's too hard to remain financially sound without winning flags or playing in GFs. With 18 teams (and another 2 planned...
