Maybe it's just because I'm a lifelong New York Yankees fan, but I've I cannot understand why the focal point of any clash jumper for us isn't just a tasteful version of the classic interconnected "HFC" logo in either brown or gold.

Loved this program. So great. Best two parts were Cyril's emotion on the bench and in the watching room during the recall and the hilarity of Rough's description of Richards' hanger on him. Worst part, by far, was Stratton's nose ring. Terrible.

I'm mainly a lurker, these days, and located in Boston, MA (USA). But I've just joined up as I could only get a six team league together from my footy club and have been looking to join a keeper league for awhile. Psyched to come aboard, guys.

The points people are making about there being 5 rounds to go so we shouldn't get up in arms about percentage are dead on. That said, we shouldn't let that obscure the absurdity of the AFL/Broadcaster's inability or, worse, unwillingness to get video review correct. It's an absolute farce that...

This thread must be a joke. Are you sure you're not an opposition fan in disguise?

I don't totally disagree with this comment, but I also think it's a little bit of a poor comparison. I'm a fellow American and I agree that NFL Films of any variety are normally dramatically better than almost anything produced by the AFL or the channels that have the rights to the AFL. That...

Agreed. Even though Round 1 is the most ridiculous example of the stupidity of the lockout, I'd still push for eliminating it in the next rounds. What say ye commissioner Slash?

Update your apps, if you're a smart phone user. Ultimate Footy finally rolled out their update for 2014.

I'm Jesse on UF and my team name is Hiway2theDangerfield.

The fact that the trade was vetoed gives me a huge amount of confidence that this league will be an excellent one. Good job, guys!

Heady to bed nice and early so I can be up at 4:00AM on Monday morning to draft with you guys. Let's do this!

I think a happy medium would be 2 minutes for the first two or three rounds and then 60 seconds after that.

I want to make clear that I take no position on the man's politics, nor on the specific issue that is the focus of the story I linked to in the OP. Rather, I just write to note that Kennett's "points" are always the most extreme within the bounds of decency and always calculated to incite the...

http://www.theroar.com.au/2014/03/03/afl-chairman-should-go-too-kennett/ It's gotten to the point where I think everything he does is a piece of high-concept performance art or involves a dare with friends. Someone needs to create a "Jeff Kennett comments on the news" generator.

I took the bold step of starting a thread on the league board. I propose that we head over there for further discussion and, hopefully, a good bit of (friendly) trash talking.

One spot left...

Up to 9 league members. Just looking for those last couple. Not sure if the commissioner wants to have a 10, 12, or 14 team league.

Bump.

I hope you guys don't mind, I'm going to give this periodic bumps as we move through February, at least until the league fills up.

So, I already found a league and the commissioner is looking for other people to fill out the league. If you've been wanting to dip a toe into the far-superior world of draft leagues, come on over to that thread for more info.

I'd love to join. How I should I go about it, just pm you and go from there? This is a godsend as I've been bummed since I'm American and don't know that many AFL fans here in Chicago and my league from last year doesn't look like it'll have another go round.

Last year I participated in an Ultimate Footy draft league run by the Interchange Bench Podcast. I believe that the podcast has become defunct and I'm looking for another one to join. I'd ask friends, but I'm an American and just don't really know anyone nearby who follows AFL the way I do. So...

I was inspired by this thread to re-watch the last quarter of the Prelim. What a fantastic experience! Even though I knew we won, it was still incredibly tense for me and there were points where I almost doubted my memory, so far out of it did we seem. Similarly, I felt almost the same level of...

Totally agree. It would probably be for his own longterm good. Could not believe how poorly the Crows managed him last season. Allowing him to keep playing after three concussions in one season is borderline criminal, imo. You'd have to think that AFL HQ was not happy with that given their...

Anyone else adopted Port as their "fun team to root for when the Hawks aren't playing?" I've been on them since the preseason and they're a really enjoyable team to watch with a great mix of grizzled veterans (Cornes!) and up-and-coming offensive stars (Boak, Wingard, Westhoff, etc.). I think...

I agree that he'll likely never have the bulk to be a true first or second tall. That said, I don't see why he couldn't develop into a Chris Mayne like medium forward who "plays" like a top two forward. Obviously, he'd have to up his toughness. But he's already a pretty damn accurate set shot...

5 - Birchall 4 - Shoenmakers 3 - Mitchell 2 - Hodge 1 - Shiels

Lindsey Thomas has really become an excellent player. The way he's improved specific facets of his game over the past couple of off-seasons is extremely impressive.

I loved Hill's first half. But we were run over a fair bit before he came off because, for whatever reason, overawed, Chapman's physical attention, early season fatigue, etc., Hill had no legs in the second half. Hope you can tell that I think he was fantastic and influential in the first half...

That's fair. I think that Demetrio should have answered more artfully. But, if you really look at what he said, it doesn't differ in content from a much more acceptable statement like: "There is a process in place for determining if a player should be paid a fee for their marketing value to the...
