If every kid we drafted turned out to be a good player then we wouldn't ever need to participate in the draft again. Unfortunately, alot of draftees never make it or come good at every club for a number of reasons. Its a hard science to predict if any U/18 kid has what it takes to have a 10+ year c...

A slight whisper I heard (no real inside source or anything) is that Mitchell announcing that he is coming back to Melbourne and Ratten deciding to look elsewhere are not completely unrelated. Thought is that Mitchell will be back at Hawthorn, so Ratts may have taken that as an indication that he ma...

This performance is straight up a player issue, can’t blame the coach for this conversation problem. You don't lose your skills. They should be improving once you become a professional fulltime footballer. Players are drafted because they were very good or elite junior footballers. The development,...

Lots of great signs but all here seem to see what richo doesnt Hickey and Marshall IN Freeman dominating VFL again. Its time. Next week come on!!! Weller is a yoga teacher not a footballer. decision making is hero like. McKenzie - whata turn around. absolute gun loving him. Billings - same deal wel...

No one is talking about how Richmond were a laughing stock for 35 years. Worst club on a sporting field for 35 years. No one cares. Let's tank LIONS to beat BLUES, SUNS CARLTON to beat SAINTS, SUNS. IF we get number 1 it's a SIMPLE PLAY. Cerra the next midfield king of AFL wants back to Melbourne. ...

Where is White Winmar? Always enjoyed their posts WW lost all credibility with me when he/she started spouting hate about homosexuality and how our involvement in a pride game was disgraceful as it validated such ‘vulgar and unnatural behavior’ Sorry. Never saw any posts anything even remotely like...

word is pick 3-5: KING BROTHER pick 57: J.KOSITCHKE We are officially f***ed. 2 s*** talls. awesome. why are we doomed? That is not the word at all, the way the draft shakes out and who is rated where wont be known for several months so no use jumping at shadows. Didn't you do the same thing last y...

A few points that I still don't get. What would the city group actually be involved in? Private ownership won't be allowed by the AFL, quite simply because it dilutes the pool of money that would be disbursed for any rights deals and changes the dynamics of the competition. Along the same lines, why...

Just watched a reply of the incident. It is abundantly clear that Riewoldt was concussed when his head hit his own knee. There is no way he was injured by Carlisle's sloppy spoiling attampt. Michael Christian (and Steven Hocking) you are turnips! We need to bring in an expert witness (a doctor) to ...

richo talking like he was playing even though only the squad is announced today. Big yet sad wrap from Richo saying he may be out most inform player. I.e Great for him but someone yet to play a game for the saints is in better form than most of the other team. Give Freo hell Phillips, giev em hell ...

Plays with maturity way beyond his years. That goal was unforgettable. A star is born! Tough as a bag of rusty nails. Rusty nails are brittle and fragile. Now a brand new mild steel nail that is as tough as nails come. Any update on your thoughts that he is being gifted games due to being indigenou...

This is the most exciting team richo has picked in 5 years, unless Froffield is dropped - that would be insane. Just have to reward Lonie, no matter how much people hate him… make it count son. Should replace Long. Long can run around at Sandy and maybe there he can get his hands on the ball and la...

Probably not the wisest appointment What a coup for us, getting a guy that 4 Clubs passed on! Which 4 clubs? Essendon, Carlton, Hawthorn and Collingwood were all searching for CEO's or high ranking positions this off-season. All were rumoured to have considered him and passed. Carlton were most pro...

SMS, didn’t you dedicate part of a previous thread to hoping that we don’t take Stephenson? Now you want him?

I think Freo having the two picks in the top 5 will help us out. They will take whoever is left of Rayner or Davis-Uniacke at 2, then might be willing to take a punt on WA boy Naughton at 5 which they may not have otherwise, given the risk with key defenders early in the draft. Along with the possib...

I'm among those beginning to find your posts offensive WS. Men seeking men are not seeking children any more than men seeking women are seeking children. Children have no more to fear from homosexuals than they do from heterosexuals. Children are more in danger of being abused in their own homes th...

Surely there is more to this than a couple employees ( executives) having affairs with a couple other employees ? Unlike the coward puncher who got sacked, which related directly to image and message to the public , this would be in house matter and i am sure no different to what happens at other b...

It was a pragmatic decision to draft Paddy. Why is this debate still going? whether it was pragmatic or not, it can still be a bad decision. If Petracca is a start and Paddy striuggles, then it is a bad decision. Simple as that. And it is not as though Petracca came from nowhere. Essentially every ...

The Adelaide Crows received 7 frees Inside there forward 50 to our 1. That's 6 free shots on goal. With all of them being very iffy at best. Hard to win with bias like this. The one we got was a disadvantage to us - Bruce was in the act of marking and it was taken off him and given to McCarten - fo...

If you read the daily mail article you will see that she hasn't even commented on this at all, the quotes are lifted from an old herald sun article. That's what the daily mail does, uses a controversial topic to recycle old quotes and throw some pics in to make a new story, without having to have an...

Yep, no issue with women here at all.

News flash people, controversy sells. Not her fault that she became involved in this, I doubt she asked to be used as fodder on the football field.

To bad for Murphy, hope they were giving to him... don't care if it was about his <edited by mods> missus or his s*** club or his lack of contested footy... it over the white line, in a pro environment. Deal with it So Adam Selwood telling Des Headland that his daughter is a sl*t was all good too? ...
