Basically IMO this year is make or break for Raph. He is injury free and had a decent pre-season. He is being given a proper run in the team. He's played 30-odd games now and knows the ropes at this level. 2008 is time for him to step up and produce good football (which he has shown he can play) CON...

Fantastic game of football.


But geez footy has become soft.

How come he played for the Scorps last week then?

Is Jump Early playing for the Blues this week?

Ratten could throw him to full back on Kosi ...

What's wrong with everyone? Thread title: "Is Jones stiff" Number of appropriate responses: 0 Is Jones stiff? You'd have to ask his girlfriend ... I expected a more arousing reception to that sort of thread title ... Particularly when the OP asked whether he was stiff not to get a "be...

I just realised that I'm older than an AFL footballer ...

Feels weird.

They should award the Robert Harvey Medal to all players who play 20 seasons or 350 games of AFL football.

Significant failure on the part of the AFL not to negotiate a broadcast agreement where this situation was avoided. Another tick for Mr. Demetriou. Seriously, what kind of ludicrous loophole allows Foxtel and FTA to show the same match at the same time in the same place? It's Abbott and Costello stu...

Don't worry ... Fraser and Lyon very much see "eye to eye".



Handled beautifully by our CEO this week IMO.

Not allowed to use the St Kilda logo Pwoit, that's why is wasn't included.

Gilbert on Judd.

'Rossy's' club's CEO is backing our players, and so should 'Rossy'. It's time for 'Rossy' to cut the umbilical cord I think.

You're not in Sydney anymore.

Agree entirely.

Head to head I'd back Montagna.

I don't agree that it's all up to the rules committee. The clubs and coaches have a responsibility to upphold the "spirit of the game", as you put it so well. But do they? We're talking about their job security and livelihood here. There's serious money involved ... and at the end of the ...

How long for?

Do you think that bad kicking is often a result of physical exhaustion? That's an interesting question .... and if it was answered in the affirmative, then the conclusion could be that the gameplan is partly responsible for innacurate kicking. Would like to see Sydney's average accuracy over say th...

With due respect, we would have put on a heap of scoreboard pressure had we kicked straight. the swans had only two fewer scoring shots than us though, so it was a good thing that they didn't kick straight either True ... and had the ball been returning to the centre more often (because of more goa...

Ross Lyon said after the match he wants to play more direct and free flowing and he always says its a "entertainment business". i couldn't care less about the entertainment side of it. just recognition from RL that goals on the board win games of football and that there is no pressure lik...

When there are a lot of behinds scored, the ball doesn't return to the centre often. This means that there are a lot of kick-outs from respective backlines. This leads to zoning and teams able to push numbers back very easily. Hence the crap game we saw. Had we kicked 12-13 goals from our 21 shots, ...

Franklin is 196cm tall.

One of the worst games I've seen him play.

Hardly touched it and O'Keefe destroyed him. Shouldn't have been on him IMO, but that doesn't matter.


Shocker from Gram. Needs to lift and improve from that performance considerably.
