    Strategy What to do with pick 1 now we’ve got it - Do We Need Reid or is it Curtins

    This has been in my brain for a bit and after reading all the suggestions so far, I'm wanting to contribute. Things to note. -This assumes a couple of things. A. NM are really desperate for Reid. B. They get pick 3 for Mckay. HAW either rate next years draft year higher than this years or they...

    Play Nice Héritier Lumumba blasts Collingwood's racist treatment of him during his career (Civil discussion please)

    I am curious about something. No other indigenous/other non white players that are playing for Collingwood currently or have played for Collingwood since Heritier started there have mentioned anything about racism. So to me that says 1 of 4 things. 1. Buckley/collingwood/other players were...

    2016 Ladder Predictions

    1. Port. Top at home and away season, Lose the grand final 2. Fremantle. Desperate to make this year their year. More than other teams if that is possible. Will lose in the Prelim 3. Hawthorn. Will peak and the right team and win it all again 4. West Coast. Will slip slightly. So many of our...

    NXT Discussion Thread (On FOX8, Kayo and Binge)

    I have some general thoughts/opinions about NXT. NXT is the only WWE programming I am watching atm. I used to watch Raw/Smackdown for Daniel Bryan and a few others but it is so un-watchable. Luckily NXT is so awesome (not everything is 100% awesome 100% of the time but overall it's great) I...

    Unpopular Cricket Opinions

    Seriously, how good is our young fast bowling depth? There is going to be some seriously unlucky guys in the next 10 years, good enough to play test cricket but not being able to get the opportunity.

    Eagles 2015 team

    Personally I don't think Cripps nor Bennell will ever be midfielders. Sheppard will be a part time wingman at a pinch. Karpany and Newman obviously have raw talent but neither has really put the runs on the board yet at WAFL level yet to suggest they will be any good or not. Maginness has shown...

    NXT Discussion Thread (On FOX8, Kayo and Binge)

    I am looking forward to the day HHH takes over from Vince for two reasons. One: He makes the champions in NXT look strong, which is the way it should be. Vince likes the champions to be "vunerable" and "anything can happen" on WWE tv but that hurts the champions something serious and reduces...

    I disagree with the bolded. Did you watch the games Muirhead played for the Scorchers? Easily our worst bowler.

    2015 Ladder predictions

    I respectfully disagree. Mitch Clark is a huge key though. If he can perform the second key forward who rotates into the ruck roll well, it will go a long way to keeping them competing with the top teams this year at least.

    2015 Ladder predictions

    IMO the top 3 is easy (Hawthorn, Sydney & Port Adelaide) (not necessarily in that order) The next three is easy (Fremantle, Geelong, North Melbourne) (not necessarily in that order) The bottom four is easy (GWS, St Kilda, Melbourne & Western Bulldogs) (not necessarily in that order) In...

    Unpopular Cricket Opinions

    I think Johan Botha is the best short form spin bowler currently playing in this country. Which brings me to a question. Is he trying to qualify to play for Australia? If so, how many years is he off? He has been playing for South Australia and Adelaide Strikers since 2012 (according to...

    2014 Brownlow discussion thread

    Because I am and evil WCE bastard , I would love for Fyfe to "win" but be ineligible. I would legit love for Boomer to win. I wouldn't be at all shocked if Ablett still won it because there is no eligible standout. Jpk or Selwood the smart money though.

    Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - It's Never Too Soon edition

    I think we should just go to the draft rather than trying to get big name players. Slower rebuild (not total rebuild, rejuvenation maybe a better word) and then top up with roll players when we are ready to challenge. Hopefully Sheed improves enough to be a vital cog in the midfield. Use our top...

    NicNat to get $800000 per year over 5 years

    There is no way he is worth that to the eagles, maybe 600,000 a year. To another team struggling in marketing he might be worth more than that. 7 or 8 hundred thousand. Hopefully the total salary cap keeps going up so he isn't taking as large a percentage of it in years to come.

    Mike's top 50

    The thing with these lists is that we could all go one and they would be different combinations. So it would be impossible to universally agree. Just out of my own curiosity I am going to do one, just cause I can. 1. G Ablett 2. S Pendlebury 3. P Dangerfield 4. J Roughead 5. N Fyfe 6. R Griffin...

    3rd Test: Australia vs South Africa, Newlands, March 1-5

    My prediction for the rest of the test. We declare overnight, They bat/block till almost close of play tomorrow. We slog 100 and set them 250 to get the last day. They block out the day and its ends up a draw with them 7 down.

    The 5 year time capsule thread.

    -The interchange cap will reduce by 10 every year so it will be 80 in 2019. -Lists will be 5 players larger. -Some select older players will play as subs every single week ("specialist sub") -Sydney will have won two premierships but there still will debate if Buddy was worth it as he starts to...

    Opinion Ashley Smith

    Smith truly frustrates me. I don't dislike him, I just don't believe he has ever gotten the best out of his himself. Making the most of his natural talent. Brennan however who has a lot less natural talent, makes the most of what he has. I hope Smith's attitude improves and Brennan gets better...

    Pick the Australian side for the 2015 Ashes

    Maddinson should have gone and played county cricket this winter instead of playing in the IPL. Having a successful county season and then backing it up next sheffield shield season would have put his name in front of the selectors for test cricket. Playing IPL imo, will make it harder for him...

    Shuey needs to be "The Man!"

    For us to be a success in the short to medium term, Luke Shuey needs to be our standout best midfielder. Being tagged and still universally accepted as our best midfielder. He has all the tools and has had individual games of dominance but he needs to be consistently dominating. It will allow...

    What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? (Part 1 - cont in Part 2)

    Did I not use the word consistent in my post? O'Meara was consistently good. Martin will have some really really good games in 2014 but some really bad ones as well. O'Meara had very few if any bad games. I know which I would prefer from a first year player.

    What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? (Part 1 - cont in Part 2)

    My unpopular opinion. Jack Martin is already overrated. I think his best games will be better than O'Meara's first year games but he will be nowhere near as consistent. Will win the rising star even if someone is more deserving.
