Seriously, Gilchrist is in a commercial where he's taking the **** out of a Carribean accent. Not that it's offensive but overall, when he was referred to as a white whatever....I doubt it brought up a sea of emotion where he thought of his peoples' long struggle to be seen as something other...

It's still wrong to rat out people like that....and that's why he's not the Captain i guess. You know Ponting would have replied with "why don't you come here and say that?" and it would all go away. Just play cricket...it's a World Cup FFs!

I agree with dropping a bowler (ie Harvey) but i don't think we should go around sucking each others ***** just yet about Symonds. The first 20 overs were Paki's at their best, the last 30 were Paki's at their bookmaking worst. If Ponting or Hayden had managed an edge in any of their 20 play...

Keeping is way too overrated to mention Healy's name next to Gilchrist. I bet even Boof could keep. Let's see, you catch the ball, (just like fielding, except you have gloves) and umm that's it really. Plus i've seen Gilchrist make more run-outs than other keepers, quicker stumpings and dives...

It's always tougher for a middle order batsmen in ODI's...specially when the top order are flat track performers. The top 3 get all the chances to make the big scores and the middle order comes in when it's 2-200 and have nothing to gain. Alternatively as soon as the pitch leans to the...

There's no Murali in your team is there.

Sure but is it is a funny as you placing Symonds in the team with his 10 run average? Or Bevan the greatest batsmen in ODI history? But he couldn't hold down No4 batting position when given the chance. More like best No 6 in history. Lee- more wickets, more overs, more runs against than...

I'll take Watson over Lee for the final bowling slot. I think Lee is only in the One-day team for his marketing potential but i bet we won't see him in the important games. Get 40 overs out of Gillespie, Mcgrath, Warne, Watson and 10 out of Marto/Lehman depending on the wicket. Final...

Marto: This criticism of Martyn is a joke. He is not a slogger and should be higher in the one day order. In the few times he's opened, he carried his bat for two 100's i think (NZ and Zim) I say bat him 3 if Haydens out first and Ponting if Gilly goes. We have 3 sloggers at the top of the...

I'll give u that your backline has the edge...but what else? Our attack was better last year than your star-studded line up of the same type of player... While our first choice midfields are pretty similar, our second rotation is easily more impressive... Also i'd say Troy Cook is the equal...

Well it was a night game but I think the first quarter was a good indication of where things lie. We wanted the easy shootout heading into a finals series...you were playing your GF...as usual against us. Thats why your coach said "We decided to turn everything into a contest" post-game. He...

The game gets quicker...the Dockers get slower. Maybe their predicting muddy condititions every week at Subi... Personally i can't wait till the hot Sunday afternoon Derby comes around this year on that giant Subi oval. Dockers line up with Pavlich, Headland, Bell, Haselby and Cook in...

Can anyone explain Mark Waugh's average of 40 over a career? And didn't he drop 3 catches in a session against the Paki's recently. There was no way he should of got another chance... And for reasons like catching abilty. Why don't we just make him 12th man for every match.

Taking over a sinking ship when your back is gone, isn't really much of a chance to prove yourself.

Yeah tactics are his game. Probably the reasons there might of been disagreements in the coaching box. Mchale's way or McKenna's way? As a leader, you never know with Mckenna since he was always second in line to Woosha. I thought he would have made a great captain but never had the chance. I...

There's coaches, and there's leaders of men. Leaders are able to inspire a team not simply througout a game or season... but through an entire era ... ala Woosha, Sheedy, Leigh Matthews, Pagan, Malthouse, Parkin. Whereas coaches might well be great tacticians...but think 3 years ago who...

I say Martyn will be the No 1 destroyer of England in the batting order. It is really him that is replacing Mark Waugh and i expect at least 3 first inning centuries this summer. Finally he will have complete freedom in the batting order to step up. Personally i think he would have no trouble...

If they can leave Peter Matera down there all season, Phil might kick 80 goals. But i'd like to have Abraham down there as back-up.

I expect to see a lot more of Jako up forward this year. We can have Jako, Wilson and Lynch rotating through there and intimidate many teams.

I guess people were happy with our defense being the "worst" in the league last season...I assume this because most seem happy with the same exact backline for 03, which i can't see magically improving.

The future is now and I think we have serious problems at FB and CHB. Macintosh was servicable this year but i think you wouldn't lose a lot by playing Glass down there. You can critisize his kicks etc but how many kicks does Macintosh manage? If Glass was at FB instead of pocket/flank then he...

I can't believe we got anything for Williams. What is he now, 26? and still fighting out with Embley over Half-forward.

It's not just midfield that WC is increasing, it's skill/class level all over the ground. Apart from your spine, everybody should be a potential midfielder. Similar to Essendon 2000 (Easily best side ever) This is what we've got now and where they should play. Ranked in class. First Class...

What age is Harding now? Any chance we might get a few good years from him? any?

His only real value to our club is his friendship to Judd. For all the guts he has, i feel he lacks the neccesary class to play the highest level and will always at best, be a interchange/backpocket. Seriously, he doesn't even impress at WAFL level. Hopefully i'm wrong and he's the next...

It doesn't matter if you don't like Eddie or not but i think his right. Personally i don't believe there should be Salary cap but since there is, and since it's the main mechanism in keeping the competition even...THEN IT SHOULD NOT BE F****D WITH!! If Brisbane has problems with this or that...

Freo's salary cap is so ****ed up that they would be paying Bell, Croad, Farmer, Pavlich, Longmuir, Haselby more money than Des Headland (16 BL votes) next year if he were to sign with them. West Coast will have him...Brisbane can take their pick of WC players.

3 best tactical coaches in the AFL = Wallace, Eade, Brittain....where are they now? And with Woosha, there was bloodletting. Michael Smith who i believed was against Wooshas appointed ended up stepping aside midway through the year.

"Im happy with my team and the only guy i want WC to really go after is Headland, but his price maybe too high." I think it would be ridiculous if we didn't push hard for him. In fact, i would like to see some comment from the Eagles hierachy telling us exactly those words..."we are after him...

The year before Brisbane got the wooden spoon, they were a top 4 team with mostly the same players. Then they had a dissapointing start the next year and decided to throw the season away for long term gain. That is the sort of thing you can do when your supporter base isn't so powerful and...
