I don't usually comment a lot on here, especially on the subject of a fair fixture as I think it's one of the sillier arguments I see. I have always believed that if you are good enough then you will win, it shouldn't matter who or where. But I thought I would chime in on this subject at least...

Hornswoggle might be a chance as an in and under type. I agree about some of the NFL players though. The defensive backs, wide receivers, tight-ends and linebackers would have the best chance. Some one like Vernon Davis who is 191cm, 113kg and runs 4.38 over 40 yards. That's insane for a man...

Sounds good but we'd probably end up with Adrian Anderson running the show and I'm not sure that anyone really wants that.

And you missed my point about Tasmania being the only state without a team. You can call me moronic or whatever you like, insert little icons and act like you know better or are smarter than little old me, I couldn't care any less. Speaking of moronic, were Victorians passionate rugby fans? I...

Actually you're not being a tiny bit of a smart ass, you're being a huge one. I do believe Shepparton is part of Victoria or has it declared independence, which means anyone from Shep has the chance of playing for a Victorian side if drafted by one. If there were no teams in Victoria you'd be...

Then change arguing to stating. Does that help. I've argued the points of why in other threads on this subject and kind of get tired going over the same stuff. Just as I'm tired of know it all mainlanders claiming they know the ins and outs of a state they barely know exists.

Why don't we deserve one? Why is it that every state has at least 2 teams yet Tasmania (the last time I looked we are still a state of Australia) doesn't even have one. I, like most of my family and friends buy a membership, buy merchandise, travel to Melbourne to watch games. We passionately...

There's a good reason for that. Most people here aren't Hawthorn supporters. Why would I, as a Collingwood supporter, go and watch Hawthorn. I wouldn't support a failed Melbourne team being relocated here either. I would buy a membership and go to games if it was a Tasmanian team. I don't...

I'm not talking about the AFL, I'm talking about supporters and people who post on BF. People who make the argument that the game isn't about money, that it's about the supporter and the passion and emotion involved in the game. People are arguing that Tassie should have a side because they are...

People have selective memories. If it wasn't for emotion and passion then we wouldn't have an 18 team competition. It's the reason why we have the greatest game on this planet. Without emotion and passion then where would all those clubs who were struggling to stay afloat be? That includes my...

It does control the game though. Why is it that when a club is struggling financially people bring up the point that the game is about the grassroots supporter and that the club must be helped to survive, that it shouldn't be about the money but the argument against Tassie is that it won't...

If that's the main criteria for a club then there's a few clubs about that must be in huge trouble. Let's make the competition all about how much money you can bring to the table. How much does North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs, Port Adelaide bring to the broadcast rights? Maybe they need to go...

Sick of this attitude from mainland w***ers. I keep hearing the argument about this game belongs to the people, that it should be about the grassroots supporters and shouldn't just be about the corporate suits and the money, yet the argument against a Tassie team and for a GWS team is all...

Alistair de Winter is the man most responsible for getting Hilf (well apart from Hilf himself that is) back to where he is now and not McDermott. Not saying McDermott isn't doing a fine job as the Aussie bowling coach. I like the Pattinson/Siddle/Hilf combo with either Lyon or Harris depending...

I keep saying Paine should do this with his finger, do a Ronnie Lott and have thing removed and get back out there.

Think you're right, plus Orchard and Wilson. Getting confused with the Licuria trade. The two clubs seem to have had a lot of trades with each other.

Pretty sure it was the 3rd pick overall, not a late first, but I could be wrong. As for what Reid is worth if he does want to go to Sydney, there's a whole season to be played still so his value could go up or down but at the moment I would think a pick in the top 10 and a late first to early...

Well and truly over it. It sounds a bit like the Tiger slam or Serena slam to me. Sporting stars who the media love having some sort of achievement made up for them and a big deal being made of it.

What the hell are people on about? I read the article thinking he must have said something outlandish after reading the comments here and couldn't find anything wrong with what was said. Some people need to chill a bit.

It's terrible really. What we need down here is to have the same attitude as people from Sydney, that way with all that sun shinning from our backsides we wouldn't have a problem with the rain :)

It's a midfielders game now days. As a guess I would imagine that most teams would pick at least 10 players (including ruckmen) that would play midfield or be part of the rotation through the midfield.

I agree. 3rd round pick should easily get the deal done, if they wanted him. Would be a decent pick up but is going to struggle to crack the pies midfield rotation.

I think he'd be able to play in any era. In my opinion it's the pure outside guys who would struggle more than guys like Swan. The physical nature of the game would be the big concern for those guys. I remember reading an interview with former tiger Mark Lee about his first game and saying as...

I'm proud to be a true Aussie, that doesn't make me a bogan, not that I would care if it did. Rather be a true Aussie than anything else.

I personally couldn't care who wins the Brownlow but I find this kind of funny. What's wrong with being truly Australian?

Boo hoo. Why don't you go shove it you idiot. I don't come on here complaining about umpires costing us a game if we lose and don't like to see any Collingwood supporters do that.

I can figure it out for myself thanks, it's clearly you who is having the problem getting my point. I was highlighting the fact that if they were being consistent then Mitchell could have easily been pinned for holding the ball or it could have been the other way around and Davis not pinned, in...

For starters there is no flaw in my logic regarding the Davis decision, I was just highlighting a decision that happened in the 3rd quarter that was extremely tough and comparing it to the Mitchell one in the fact that Davis had even less time to get rid of the ball yet still was penalised. If...

You need to learn to count, it's more than one step. Plus if Leon can get pinned for holding the ball when he got tackled at virtually the same time as receiving the ball in the 3rd quarter then Mitchell was definitely holding the ball. I'm not saying he should have be pinned for holding the...

You need to watch it again. He grabbed the ball at the centre bounce, took several steps, went to kick and was tackled. That's prior opportunity and also holding the ball. Fact is that decisions went against both sides in that last quarter that could easily have gone the other way. All this talk...
