,.. what sort of a 'plunge' would it take for this type of response from the bookies (given there's no manipulation behind the scenes going on) If llyon is allowed to leave , i wouldn't be amazed , but ashamed. Working in the wagering business it would take sweet F/A and means nothing. To take this...

I was in Phuket back in February and pretty much every pub was showing the NAB Cup games. So you should have no trouble getting any of the finals. I didn't get to watch any AFL in bangas but im sure it would be shown in just about every pub/club/go go bar etc... Aussie Bar in Patong on Bangla Road ...

Agreed , the Irishmen was okay but Fev looked unfit and disinterested .Fev got a handball over the top in the 3rd qr thats all he did that i saw. Was on and off the ground . Walsh went onto Bate in the last 5 mins with Bate taking two strong chest marks in front and kicking the winning goal. Pettard...

Thanks plugger66. Really helps us all a lot. Bratty of course too. Question re Smith, how did he use the footy today? And was Walsh's form more reflective of Fev being unfit? Fev is completely unfit which helped Walsh run off him but Walsh was good anyway. Smith used it ok but the conditions were b...

Well done Tommy again , keep it going.

I heard Alistair Smith played on Aker and got the better of him .

sounds like a really hard day at the office today at vic park. did anyone impress? I saw the last half in terrible conditions and from what i saw Armo, Simpkin & Pattison were our best. Armo also looks to have a (right) knee injury got carried off mid way through the last quarter. He hobbled wi...

Have a fellow Collingwood supporter at work giving me heaps saying Bakes is no good so what I have been doing is taking notice of who he plays on how many goals he has had kicked on him & sticking it up him . If my observations are correct i think the answer is zero ! r1- Jetta & Moore r2- C...

Didnt look great on the replay & obviously they will have a good look at it at the match review.

Just hoping it was in the neck rather than the jaw/chin area .

Please Please never play him forward again !! Fish softened up Baz for him and then ZAc did his job . Big Bad Baz seemed to totally lose his way when he gave that 50 away on Bakes . Great win SAints love beating the puppies . Ps Great to see Kos in the ruck for those final 7-8 mins , it helped us wi...

Would have been way better to develop Lynchy or even a Cahill /Gaertner IMO with Rhys obviously not 100% right .

Patto was there i guess as back up in case Gardi couldnt get through the game . Gaertner could have played that role as well...baffling

TOMMY HILL -looks like he has decent hands & gets across the ground . http://www.afldraftinfo.com/2009/04/tom-hill-northern-knightsvic-metro.html SCOTT- COLLINGS -Danyle Pearce type #1 http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/87131/default.aspx JOHNNY RAYNER - #3 http://www.afl.co...

. No doubting he has a crack and lays tackles but surely he is not going to win us a Grand Final . The following players provide much more Dempster, Geary, Armitage & Steven . We have been lacking another goal kicker especially the last month & i was totally horrified to see this guy selecte...

Nick Heyne Gippsland Power / Orbost-Snowy Rovers FC 22/7/90, 188.2cm, 79.1kgs A versatile player, Nick can rotate through the midfield providing strong run or push forward with his good goal sense and strong hands over head. His raking left foot kick is also a feature of his game. Nick was one of G...

Think you will find Gilbert did a very good job on DAvis in the first half ,unfortunately he was forced to go onto the bigger Coll fwds as Gwilt not standing up and then in the last quarter Sam Fisher moving into the centre.

FIORA is the answer to your question.

There was a big pack flying for the ball just on the 3 qr time siren and i think he landed awkardly on the ankle. I was standing near the race and he returned to the bench 5 minutes in to the last QR but walking with a limp . No sign of crutches or anything which was a good sign. Probably miss 1-2 i...

My thoughts : Armo- did ok looked slow at times. Was a good std VFL game. Birrs-pretty quiet was tagged but had a go. When he did get it he got caught quite a bit. Should not have been in best but wasnt the worst. Raph-did ok first half up fwd then when the game needed to be won didnt put body on th...

3. Ball

2. Fisher

1. B HArvey

3 or 4 changes next week

In -Schneider, Rix, Baker & (if avail Gardi)

Out- King inj, Jones, Blake .


A previous poster mentioned Dempster - did a great a job on Lovett. No way in the world he will be dropped. Will be earmarked for a Burgoyne , Rodan or Pearce next week for sure !!!

Kingy has been pushed to far the past few weeks when Gardiner was out injured. I said he was an accident waiting to happen & sure enough he's now out for 2-3/ Rixxy should have been in against the Doggies as unfortuantely Kingy days as Rucking 20 mins of each quarter are gone. Not a knock on Kin...

Was watching the SANFL during the week and i think Luke Jericho from the Crows could be one worth looking at for a Flanker who has some pace and can take a grab. Has failed to gain a regular spot with the Crows for a few seasons now maybe attitude, or a Welsh/Bock/ Burton hindering his spot.A chance...

Thommo went off injured in last 10 minutes of the Casey game last weekend v Frankston.

Listen to Sen after the 9pm news.The Doc will be on, be interesting to see if he comes up with anything more than Channel 9 this morning.- thinking not ? I hope he has had his nose to the ground today to find out.? more than likely Monday id say.It seems simliar to Kennelly's earlier in the season -...

Wayne Schwass made the same comments after i think the Freo game . He said the Swans had the same issues when PAul Roos went there. Changes were subsequently made to the list. Some were retired and some were delisted. It sounds very much like we are at now !
