Speaking of Sydney - whoever was in charge of our drafting back in 2010 should be seriously shot for not picking Luke Parker from UNDER OUR NOSE. Absolute no excuse for that. Take them to a laneway and have them shot. You want the glory of working at an AFL club? - well take some bloody responsibil...

Hawthorn had a few other decent players... For a start James Frawley, their FB was BOG They dominated around the ground.... If they had a dominant ruckman they may have won by 100 points or more... That's not the argument... Otherwise it could be said about any team or any game... A moron could see...

Hahaha.

It's what champions do

There has been plenty of champions. There has only been one Plugger. He sits in a different category in my humble opinion.

Yep.

Speak to assistant coaches at the time and they'll tell you GT DID run the club....and cost it plenty.....but you know that cause you have him over for dinner weekly... And yes, the Blight move was perfectly scripted......all part of the bigger plan.....what a strategy by the club...fork out $1m fo...

And then they would receive the same consequences... A cheats consequence, being banned! They injected a drug for the purpose of improving performance. It's really that simple. Jake did it... He cheated and was banned. It's not about being right... It's fact Btw 5 + 24 for Carlisle and 14 (18) Ive ...

I will always have the opinion that Caven simply got in the way of the flight of the ball. He just drifts into Plugger's lead with no awareness at all. Plugger sees him at the last moment and protects himself. It looks bad I admit that but wasn't worth 8 weeks Full credit to Caven for being extreme...

The concentration on possessions amuses me. It is a team game - and the object is to score more than your opposition. To do this a game is played on a chess board, looking for advantage. I tend to also look at player positioning (where R Clarke was under estimated) and the result of that positionin...

We chose to recruit a cheat.... It's our problem. Buyer beware. Have to agree with you there. I said at the time that giving up pick 5 for a guy likely to get suspended would end in tears. It has. It didn't stop at pick 5 but it does sound better if you want to be negative. And it hasn't ended in t...

Like most "he said, she said" stories, my guess is that the truth is somewhere in the middle of both versions of events. But like most things to do with a conflict between a female and a male, the majority seem to automatically assume the female's version of events is 100% the truth, and ...

Ok... So what 'risk' do you think they were taking by reporting it to the police? The risk was clear. Something happened. The girl may have spoken or as you are argued at the time that wasn't important anyway. Martin may have lied to the club and the AFL. Why report it if they didn't have too. Mayb...

I wasn't having a go at gosaints just the player kosi put down for him.

No idea. As I said they knew more than us.

They have signed a 31 and a 32 year old this week. Added to Cooney, BJ, and Jimmy Gwilt, they will have a lot of experience on their list come the NAB challenge. Interesting that the AFL basically told them that they wanted them to recruit players who had retired from footy at the highest level in ...

Junior footy?? Last game I played in Junors was a Grand Final in 1989 I'm 42yo and the period I was referring to was in 2004-2007 when I was playing senior suburban footy. Again, you talk about aggregat numbers... Not quality of clearance. A person could serve at the same percentage of first serves...

Tracey made it clear to Richmond and the AFL that she did not want to make a police complaint as that would ultimately reveal her identity and expose her to more abuse. When the AFL did refer the matter to police, Tracey said an integrity officer told her, “we have washed our hands of you”, before ...

Seriously?

Moods, I didn't say she was staggering and I'm not convinced that the story is entirely accurate either... so please don't slander me... I am relaying an account that I believe comes from a reasonable source... I'm open to Rita's version being the truth... but remain skeptical... this story has bee...

Ken Hinkley is right, We wont be on the hook for all of Carlisles' wage... that would not make sense... so we have cash... We should get an extra player on our list with rookie rights, i.e. we can draft them next year.... that would be a minimal compensation frr our loss, which was not our own doin...

In the circumstances, we should be permitted to draft an extra rookie. Isnt it just a waste of money. The player will have been retired or delisted by a club. Seems like we one just because Essendon got 10. I honestly think the club couldn't give a rats. He has to be delisted at the end of the year...

I received an account from the other side of the story today… explains the non-penalty better than "it was a cover up" in my opinion. Dusty was minding his own business… was joking with his chopsticks at his table playing drums , pretending to be a walrus , pretending to catch a fly with ...

He would be.a better player without it.... That is obvious. If a persons blood sugar drops in a game and they need to medicate that can be a disruption. Or if there is a period where the levels have dropped below optimum levels and the player is unaware... This may only be momentarily but could def...
