Why helmets aren't compulsory in the AFL defies belief. If wearing helmets prevents just one case of permanent brain damage, then it is worth it. I guess it will come down to what I've termed "Coroner's Court Syndrome", meaning someone has to die before the law and behaviour changes. The ...

No need for a poll, he can come back under a different nic. His pride won't allow that .....pffft lol. Yes, you've got to have your pride Pride? Its a footy fan forum not life or death. Lets face it why would I care what anyone apart from friends and family think of me and also know one knows me an...

Crippa wanted to return home. He had a longish term girlfriend that he missed as well as the family. We had no hope of keeing him. Just about the same way we got Hickey except he came here just for his girlfriend. Good on Cripps. He has done very well.

Doctors have us covered.

Cos last time I looked Melbourne werent playing in a GF? Would you say Melbourne got value from pick 12? I guess they kind of did because it got them Brayshaw - but that was really more luck than good fortune. Without that compo - Frawley wasnt really worth their while. The Hawks, on the other hand...

If we go purely on the points system. We gave up pick 5 (1878) for Carlisle + pick 22 (845) Values Carlisle at 1033 which is ~ pick 17 (1025). Probably a fair trade. I still think it lazy recruiting if you compare it to the key defenders in this week's GF. Lake (pick 71) Schofield (51) McGovern (No...

Personally, I hate him - but setting that aside... You'd think he would've been embarrassed listening to Nat Fyfe accepting the Brownlow when he said he'd 'live and die' for the Fremantle footy club. And old Rossy, what can he say? It's a job. I've got to put myself first. He'd have happily played ...

Maybe it's about time they dropped the fairest aspect of the award so that no one has to put up with the BS that players ONLY get fined instead of suspended so they are still eligible because, let's face it, they have only come up with these fines because of the Brownlow Medal. Just make it the bes...

Rookie. Didn't get a game and only lasted one season.

So $205 for eleven games in melb Or $105 each for one game in your home state (if not Vic) But but but..."you get five games in melb as well sir." Yeah cheers for that but I don't live in melb do I, hence INTERSTATE membership. $210 for two people to go to one game in SA And if you want t...

Not much better the 3 or 4 years before or 2 or 3 years after. I think we should be blaming lack of money is that department as the issue not the coaches of the time.

If we could somehow relive an era with the variables of fate reset, I'd feel much more comfortable with our chances choosing the Lyon era over the GT era. By a mile. The difference is GT never left us. If you leave our club even if its partly our fault then you can become scum and lose all ability.

We need at least 8 more in out 22. We are at least that short but realistically maybe even 10 players short of having a top 4 side.

So Adam Tomlinson apparently wants out of GWS this trade period. It's been an ongoing rumour that we had the inside running on the kid, that we've been doing the ground work for a potential future trade when he came out of contract next season (I think, or maybe the season after??) So are we in the...

If Mitchell does win it will prove the AFL is completely void of credability. Not even former prolific poster could defend that. He didn't but I don't get your post. Is it ability because I had him coming 4th on form? Is it because he kneed a guy well he was fined once for that and still had anothe...

You would know more than me but that does nothing for me at all.

Sad that she doesn't have feet.

No point bagging Lyon- he had one trick and when it worked it worked well, but all too predictable. I'll reserve my judgement on our current coach who talks the talk, but he needs to deliver the goods in the form of playing finals. I do feel sorry for Watters who never got the support that a senior...

Not for mine. WADA issues are not going to go away in the short term (and maybe not in the mid term either). Better off to look at a young player in the draft who will be able to fill that position for mine. Essendon will be looking to trade out a lot of their players who were on the list pre-2012,...

Rumour is: Carlisle to Carlton 5yr deal $600k p.a Apparently it's a done deal, Carlton offering up pick 19. Everything is a rumour at this stage. But rumours need some sort of basis, some justification. In support of these Carlisle rumours: • Money gets him to the stable and rapidly improving Saint...
