They looked pretty poor. Question then is whether we got it too easy and will play poorly next or whether the confidence will do wonders. I reckon we'll kick on and make the 8.

So did we credit DB or just assume the Crows were crap?

:p How good would that be. The worry is that we'll probably get 15000 and half will be crows fans drowing us out. Fortunately they are as up and down as us and they got some injuries and might get some suspensions so anything could happen. Got to hand it to DB he never seems flustered but we...

Where does that info come from? I read they played only one match and beat (smashed) a combined European under 21 side. Not expats. Do people still think that if someone is playing overseas they must be an Aussie?

To be honest I don't think he's the key. He'll do well, but trouble their small backline and give them headaches that way. Or, throw Jurrah on him, that'd be interesting! Run in the midfield then sneak forward and cause some chaos as they have to pick him up on the way back. I guess defences...

OK, 5 is poor. But realistically 5 plus some very competitive matches and the new recruits showing good signs is enough to keep me interested. I reckon the whole comp will be very very tough this year. I reckon 5 will be like 7 in 2009. I spose we could've won a couple towards the end but we...

Agree with first article. No, they should play footy and what they do in their private time is up to them. But they should have to behave ON THE FIELD, as kids will copy that. But off field, meh. Same laws as applies to everyone else apply. But it isn't that way and it never will be. Do worry...

No FabPhil's list is right. You guys have missed the point. These are African kids in Africa, not in Australia. Majak Daw wouldn't be on the list because he's from Australia drafted like any other Aussie kid. They're talking about international players not immigrants. O'Loghlin has an Aboriginal...

Pretty happy with the final 8 as is. Don't think 18 teams means final 9 is necessary. Essendon smashed by Adelaide tells us a story. Under a final 9 even one more would make it!

The less they say the better. Don't need players in the news on the booze and stuff. Under the radar is just fine, better than "they know we're coming". I'd be happy with 5 wins and a few close ones, then 9 wins the year after and then finals.

What's the correction to? The article didn't say McKenzie proposed Royal Park for 2002, it says he advocated for it after 2005. Either way the message is the same.

OK I must not have read it on here I found it here http://www.worldfootynews.com/article.php?story=20071207212156744 Says the bloke wanted it at Royal Park North. Horses mouth. Yeah would've been better to have night matches and weekend games but do listen to the facts when people counter some...

Who are the jobless nuff nuffs you're referring to Fishmonger? People that have flexible working hours so can get to the games or people who have annual leave and use it to go? I can't easily get away but I don't hate people who can. I assume you dont have annual leave or dont use it because you...

Correct. Lots of anger at the AFL there from Fishmonger but you wonder whether he was even there. If he wasn't then what does he know? If he was then try talking to the teams. Same old same old, if you don't like what someone says and they don't want to bash the AFL then they must be up their...

Just because a sport doesn't have a history in a country or area doesn't mean it can't grow there. Think soccer in Australia or America, think basketball in Australia. Is it just because the US has money that basketball spread? Partly but not entirely. And don't we think Australian rules is a...

Agree. One stupid act, but in general never considered him much of a sniper. Playing great in finals deservedly elevates a player's status.

Yeah seems AFL is making a comeback in PNG but RL is still #1. But with that many players in the QAFL and more each year then its a matter of time before they get players into the AFL and that would raise the profile of the sport heaps in PNG. But back to the original idea, no I can't see PNG in...

Let them in, but only if they played in the old Brisbane Bears jumper.

Sounds like a good way for League and Aussie Rules to protect their markets and say no way. The WC in Australia would be a massive blow to those sports with all the hype for soccer it would generate. Not saying soccer is bad but obviously all of them are in a fight with each other for...

I can see it might motivate some guys, also if it was 4 or 5 years ago then maybe it had more of a place back then (hadnt realised it was from the vault). Guess each coach has to know his players.

Have to agree with vikingsven. Never seen that sort of yelling and screaming motivate anyone, its mostly gone from the top levels of football and has no place at junior levels. Maybe its an area where overseas football hasnt caught up yet but to be fair to the blokes doing the shouting, it still...

They must hate that Adelaide were rated as having the worst list in the league then easily finished above them. Bit of luck and they wouldve won a flag, maybe there's something to this science.

I dont like pay tv so I hope it stays off fox.

Gosh, I thought I was a passionate fan but I'm starting to question my commitment! :D

If you watched as the camera panned away last year the Irish were doing a lot of the scragging and holding players down after tackles probably to stop australias run on. What they didnt realise is that in aussie rules if you do that the player gets very ****ty and gives you one and as soon as...

So what is the key to getting the game on free to air?

Good stuff. Funny they reckon footy is a better influence on the way the lads treat umpires. But wondering about the places they said its played. Didnt mention all the regional places that have teams but did say Cornwall and the Isle of Wight? Can anyone tell us about whats happening there?

Seems like Port dont want to be there. When was it decided to send them? If they don't field a full team it jepardises the whole concept and you wonder if the AFL will bother in future cos if the clubs dont support they cant do much about it. But fielding 15 a side would be much much better than...

Wouldnt knock Hawthorn on the field, should be in the 8 next year. But didnt they dud the kids in New Zealand demanding $10,000 to do auskick when they were already there on a trip anyway? Doesnt sound like a great club to me and you wouldnt count on them making a good effort. And Port Adelaide...
