I doubt it. This report is layered with inaccuracies. There is a rugby league comp centred on Griffith in southern NSW as well, but there are three Australian football competitions in the same overall southern Riverina region.

The wiki article also stated, "There were 129 locations where there was an equal number of Aussie rules of Rugby league clubs, many around the NSW-Victorian border". Again, this guy has never been to the Murray or Riverina region. There is a small league competition based around Wodonga but how...

A silly article. Australian football is “advancing in the Riverina”. My guess is that this writer has never been to the Riverina. Coolamon is a football club that has been in existence since the 1800s, Wagga Tigers, Ganmain etc.. they’ve been around for over 100 years. Aust. Football has been...

Carlton cheated the salary cap for 20 years!! Wow! I never knew. Can you point me towards that article that states Carlton cheated for 20 years?

North have two bad years and all of a sudden it is panic stations. Try 20 bad years!! North gave Carlton some beltings within those 20 years as well. There was one match in 2003 which North won by 124 points. The pain of supporting AFL clubs doesn't seem to be spread around evenly...

Great stuff!! My heart was jumping in rd23. What a humble and touching speech too. This is worth a look at how Northampton honours its heroes. https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/northamptons-josh-kennedy-paul-hasleby-and-others-immortalised-in-metal-figurines-c-4548715.amp

Yeah, that incident was a 40/60 or 60/40. Personally, I thought it was a realistic attempt and he had eyes on the ball. The Papley push though was a 99% obvious free kick to Collingwood. I just want it fixed up for next year so my team isn’t disadvantaged. AGAIN!! I should have gone to my first...

I agree. Also, Look at this image in the article. It is 100% clear it was a push in the back. Of the two teams, I would have preferred a swans victory.. but that isn’t the point. The point is the replay came up within a second or two. Delay the match for max.. 5 seconds to get the right result...

Papley should not have received a free kick. Likewise, Cripps’ mark should have stood in Rd 23. And Carlton would have been in the finals. Matches are being decided by bad umpiring errors. If there is grey area you could accept it, but in both instances 99 out of 100 would agree error made...

If I was a Geelong supporter, I would favour a new team coming in as “equalisation” doesn’t effect them. They’ve played in 20 of the last 22 finals series or whatever it is.,, but for supporters of teams that are “finals poor” having a new team the first thought is - will this new entity beat...

Carlton haven’t played finals for gawd only knows how long. massive Problems at Essendon, North has problems, so too West Coast and the way to solve this is to introduce a new team? So draft concessions again, another team on the feed of AFL assistance. Here we go again. You can sink a ship if...

I get your point. But winning is what I want to fit into the profile. Winning is a word that tops words such as "list" "profile" and "strategy". Motlop, Durdin, Honey all require time to develop. None of them overly impressed me - although I get they are young. Do we have time for all three? A...

I agree. A small forward who kicks goals is a priority. There are many moments that make up a loss when the score difference is under one goal, but the one that sticks in my memory the most is when Durdin didn't pass to McKay with about a 2:30? left in the match in the pocket. He was on his...

2022- A failure. But it is a failure in the end for all teams but one. Even if there are injuries, need to find ways to improve in 2023. Eg Lewis Young - if in front you can mark instead of punching the ball all the time. Improve. Team make up is wrong 3 small forwards doesn’t work. Motlop...

I just picked a random year to look at 2019 as before covid. Interstate matches success rate drops significantly for most Victorian teams. Collingwood only played 1 interstate match up to Round 10. Carlton had played 4 interstate by that time & lost some confidence with some smashings. Richmond...

The word is FIXTURE. Western Bulldogs played 5 interstate games plus one at what is now almost a neutral venue in Tasmania. Collingwood NEVER play 6 matches interstate. Their maximum year after year is 5 interstate matches. Carlton played 6 matches interstate and two back to back -Adelaide &...

A country with 25 million people about to enter a lengthy recession, with higher power costs and high inflation.. (ever tried filling up your car recently?) And with 4 professional football codes all competing for a diminishing piece of the pie will have enough $$$ to fund an expansion team. Ok...

Was it? I went searching for the incident.. watched about 3 minutes of footage and couldn’t find it. My vague recollection is that Kennedy was trying to pick up the ball. Well then! Cripps should be suspended for concussing his teammate. 2 weeks seems about right.

Who was the Adelaide who used his shoulder? Knee? To concuss Matt Kennedy late in last quarter? We need his name so we can apply a 2 week suspension on him. It may have been an accident, but that’s not the point. If you cause concussion- you should face a penalty. That Adelaide player “chose to...

It is best to be 2nd to the ball on the forward line.. witness Collingwood’s Elliott’s “holding the ball” free kicks last week. 2 were dubious at best but kudos to him for his tackling technique- spot on. The Melbourne player with red hair Oliver had the ball for one Milo-second-Elliott tackles...

Ok, done deal. We’ll write up the joint letter for next year. Carlton’s worst performances have all been interstate. Good luck to you. Glad you have full confidence in Pies’ interstate record. Just as easy as winning on the MCG apparently.

I get it. Even tougher for WA/SA/NSW teams etc. But I don’t see why Collingwood & Richmond always have to get preferential draws. P.S some nuffty will check thru the records to 1998 or something when Collingwood actually weren’t given good draws.

Ok .. I’m happy for us to trade your fixture with ours next year. You can have an extra game in Perth against Fremantle or a game every year in Brisbane. Glad you agree.

A full air twist, a pike and a star jump landing would have been “reasonable” within the time allocated.

Carlton plays 6 interstate matches. That one extra match interstate might be important? Most Victorian teams lose about 2/3 at least of interstate matches. We’ve lost to Fremantle, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Brisbane interstate. Won against West Coast and GWS. Next year, Carlton should get the...

This was assessed as “low impact” last year. I presume you think it was accidents well?

Says the supporter of a team -Collingwood- that only has to travel interstate at most five times a year.

So the conclusion is that you are still allowed one millisecond to make the decision to leap for the ball in a contest? Or are you expected to get a notepad out onfield, take measurements, check the weight & height of all players around, their potential speed to get to the ball and then...

How about they clear out the forward line & only have three isolated forwards in there. DeKoening McKay Curnow You isolate each forward so the backs have no support. That way you potentially get your strength -key forwards- winning one out & you crowd in and nullify their main strength- the...

Unless you are Trent Cotchin, Willie Rioli, Tom Hawkins and Joel Selwood. This Selwood "accidental collision" was awarded as "low impact contact". I see a format now. They should have awarded Cripps's as "low impact" - if they can award this contact as "low impact". Selwood is the bandaged...
