    Why is it 4 points for a win?

    Here is a time line compiled from two separate document: 1866 Time limit for matches introduced. Team scoring most goals declared the winner. Captains tossed for the first time and behind posts used in addition to goal posts. Oval ball began to replace the spherical type. 1872 Field umpires...

    Why is it 4 points for a win?

    One of the reasons given for the fact that a goal is worth six points is that football was created to keep keep cricket players fit over winter. Six points was considered the equal to a six incricket. Perhaps using that logic, if you call it that, could explain it. I would need to check when...

    Opinion What to do with Tippett for 11 weeks?

    As I under stad it, he's not allowed to play in any registered club in anafilliated league in the country so he might have to go to England, perhaps, for that to happen.

    Live the dream, lets talk back to back!!!

    Don't you believe it. They already are. Coaching staff excluded. Just have a look at betting markets. If we do go back to back it will still be a fluke. There a 2013 ladder predictiond thread going. Nobody rates us. They never learn. That's why we continue to fly under the radar.

    Toast Is McVeigh now underrated?

    The Mexican media always does and I hope they continue to do so. And so do the bookies. A premiers we are still not favourites for next years GF; Hawthorn is. This would seem to indicate that they, or their punters, think the win was a fluke. It was the same after 2005! Mind you winning back to...

    Toast Is McVeigh now underrated?

    By opposition supporters perhaps, but not opposition coaches nor, I suspect, players. I think Hawthorn may have underrated the team on GF day.

    Which Flag was best...2005 or 2012?

    Being there in 05 was special. Breaking the drought made it all the more special. I reckon this years was probably a higher quality game. But then, every GF is something to treasure, and I hope there's more to come in my life time.

    Toast Alex Johnson

    Don't know, but I reckon that he looks sort of unassuming on the ground. Goes about his work with no fuss. Did notice Longmire give him a spray at 3/4 time against Adelaide - not sure what for. Hope the rest of the world continue to underrate him for some time.

    Collingwood and Richmond request to play each other twice in 2013

    I think clubs requesting when games are played is fine but whom is definitely not right. Given that it's all about revenue pretty much sets the fixture anyway.

    "The game we had to lose" theory.

    I'm not sure that I agree with the theory, but it fits in nicely with "the longer the winning streak is, the closer it is to finishing. You often hear or read journos, but not coaches, say this about this time of year. "It's a wake up call". If we do have to lose one, which would you prefer? I...

    Up There For Sydney

    Why Cazaly? He's hardly ever mentioned as a notable player. Cazaly was a legend. "Up there Cazaly" was a phrase used in the Second World War.

    Have we made any offers?

    Unless the rule has changed only two players can be on the veterans list. I really don't think we need him. The money should be used on other players in my opinion.

    Even tounge in cheek seems to be too subtle for you. But you hate me cause I take issuewith your pathalogical hatred of McVie . Having said that, for most of the last century, certainly up to the fifties and into the sixties, the rivalry between South and Port was intense. Then the VFA was...

    Opinion Our biggest rivals

    You've got to be kidding. All the inner city clube hate each other, and thats what we we were. That's what made the game great, and now the AFL is trying to take the triballism out of the game. Shame on them "It's a family game now". It always was. Sure there were fights and lots of pissed...

    2nd ruckmen's future in the game at AFL level

    I think the AFL's rationale was to slow the game down. After introducing rule changes to speed the game up eg kickng out after a behind then introucing changes to do the oppossite shows knee jerk responses to perceived problems, and that has had the effect of making second ruckmen semi...

    Opinion Top 5 Most Overrated Players Of All Time

    Royce Hart, Alex Jesaulenko, Darrel Baldock, all played in tougher eras when there was less hype and no Bwooce to drool over them. Sure, different eras, but each has a case for being the best CHF of all time.
