And this year you will have to play the cats in qualifying, woe is St Kilda. At least you can make your excuses early this year.

The AFL talks up the spectacle of the game. Surely players who have plenty in the tank are more capable of taking the huge mark, that third or fourth tackle to disposses and force a turnover or a huge run and goal from outside 50. The game is better with fresher players, simple as that. The...

There is only one issue, forget who the player is, If a player runs off the line of the mark the umpire should be calling play on. It really is as simple as that.

How long do have to be playing the game before the umpires determine you have a 'natural arc.' The ruling has to be everybody can run off the line when taking a set shot like that or nobody can, to suggest otherwise is moronic and sadly I think the AFL as stubborn as they are will continue to...

What supporter of any Melbourne based AFL club does not enjoy the festivities of a big game against the Magpies at the G? I mean it is always an event, huge crowds, huge rivalries stemming from up to 100 years of battle on the ground, passionate supporters and finals like atmosphere no matter...

What I'm excited about is the fact that both teams are close to full strength, the cats will be without Ottens and perhaps Corey, the Pies may be without Medhurst and Wellingham, both teams played interstate with the Pies having one day extra break, the benefit of which I think would be...

Here is a gem served up by a Sydney fan slandering both the Pies and the Saints. It is his response to the OP claim that Pendlebury in an obscure, cryptic fashion called the saints midfielders soft.To be fair it is from the "Pendlebury calls Saints soft" thread on the main board and the majority...

You are a fool, ask Roosy if he thinks Collingwood are soft. The reason we towel your mob up consistently is our attack on the football is much harder. Which is even made more hilarious as attack on the football is one the values the Swans pride themselves on.

To be fair Adam never really got many opportunities at AFL level. I can only recall one game against Melbourne and he was not on the ground for long. With the talent pool getting shallower he would be worth a rookie spot I'd think.

There will always be a team not performing well every season and get the regular shellacking. In fact name a season where the bottom team didnt get beaten by over 80 points throughout the year. Richmond are the team this year but they will bounce back.

I laid $50 on Wellingham for the Anzac Day medal at $41 for a 2k collect so I wasn't exactly estatic with Pendles name getting called.

It would be fair to say he has shown more than McCarthy so far.

I expected Jack to really put more body on over the summer so he could hold his ground in one on ones more often. This hasnt happened and he actually looks lighter, my question is does the club see him as a key forward or have other roles in mind for him? In my opinion he has all the basics to...

What we get sick of is your holier than thou attitude. Its a forum for AFL fans to discuss their views. The OP was stating his opinion on Dale Thomas and asking what general community thought, I for one was interested in hearing what other team supporters thought, those who don't watch the Pies...

Malthouse was right about Milne.

He has to find the football first and he is having a bit of trouble with that. Baby steps Armo, Baby steps

I hate players diving for free kicks when its in play especially in marking contests, a free kick against should be awarded whenever it is cited however when a player dives due to contact off the ball/between a stoppage of a play well thats a different story.

Re: Hayes puts hands on umpire. Yes, we could paint a red stripe on the right side of our guernsey. Twit

That is disgusting, The MRP clearly made a statement last year that the umpires were off limits no matter how negligible the contact. I was disgusted at the decision to suspend Heath Shaw but sucked it up thinking, 'well ok then you cannot touch the umps intentionally'. But low and behold the...

You could say that, but people would think your an idiot, oh hang on.............

Mate fully agree, Dale Thomas looks as though he has made a concious effort to improve the physical side of his game and is throwing himself into the contests more often.

No Dane Swan's disposals being involved in 17 scoring plays on the weekend wouldn't hurt any team at all. Oh and the 3 goals he chipped in for hardly had any impact on the game. Just another average game from the plodder with a wonky boot...................:rolleyes:

Finished watching the replay of Carlton v Richmond, Geez Bryce Gibbs is a real talent, which is not suprising considering his draft position. The kid makes great decisions and has a real penetrating accurate kick. He really is starting to live up to the huge expecations thrust upon him around...

A fair unbiased opinion, something a lot of bitter Saints fans cannot seem to muster. Dry your eyes you pathetic morons

How can someone tell that you were in fact bitten on the back? Better check Grimes skinfolds if anyone was able to bite his back. Laughable really.

Are you serious? King has on multiple occasions attempted to anatagonize Collingwood players with violence, The reason he still leaves the ground walking is the tribunal. If it was a one off I'm sure Clokey would of left it at that but the only way to strike a blow to King's tactics without...

This little ditty from SASQUATCH09, A Melbourne supporter certainly warrants nomination. The photo posted soon after with Kings fist in Clokey's face really highlights the fact that this is Winty quality material.

Nice OP Sasquatch, you have just had your pants pulled down. Now you might think twice before making such radical claims from what you saw from the outer.

Time to break out the tissues Invigoration, Or did you already use them up when you heard Cam Wood was injured? It seemed to me a bit over the top the hysteria surrounding the injury to a player who in my belief is not going to be selected if Jolly and Fraser are fully fit. It's my opinion and...
