Any chance Bongetti getting drafted?

How did Iaccobucci go? I have seen his name amongst the best at the Bullants and think he may be worth a second look by an AFL side.

IIRC the only team able to get a priority pick before the first round this year is the Blues. They are only team not to win 5 games last year. The problem is the definition by the AFL and something which I think the power brokers at the Blues would have mentioned in their meeting with the...

If the Blues don't win more than 4 games they get a priority pick before the first round and if the ladder stays the same it may be Carlton Gibbs Essendon Hansen Carlton Sellar Port Adelaide Thorp Hawthorn Selwood

Bit surprised that Grae Grant could not make the squad. Has been All Australian U16, AIS squad member, International rules player, and now can't make the WA squad. Anyone know why he has been ommitted?

I think you'll find that Mitchell Clark has not been included in the WA Under 18 squad due to a legal dispute between his club's coach and the WA Selectors. Hopefully it will be sorted out and he will be a late inclusion. However even if he's not I think he will still be a consideration for the...

The Lions pre-sell all bar 5,000 tickets to the Gabba for all games to their members and like Port and the Crows etc. have the money in the bank at the start of the season even if the members don't turn up for matches later during the year. The 5,000 tickets are left for visiting teams and...

I think you may find that the AFL will encourage a Melbourne based team to relocate to QLD. The team will play their home matches at the Gabba and share the Brisbane and Gold Coast facilities and social club of the Southport Sharks. The QLD Government and the Gabba Trust are looking for a second...

I think Lethal would have to go very close. Brown Balme Ditterich Muir Rhys Jones Dipper etc were not that smart and would just lose it and hit anyone. Most of the time they were clearly captured by the TV cameras. It didn't matter if it was in front of the umpire or not they just lost it. I...

The Essendon football club employs Hird. Channel 9 also employs Hird on a part time basis. His first contract is to the Essendon Football club. He agreed to go on the Channel 7 show . The Essendon Football club agreed for him to go on the show. Channel 9 threatened to sue James Hird if he...

The rumour I heard was that the Saints were feeling the pinch in their cap and may have to sacrifice one of their youngsters in order to keep Hamill and Gehrig, Riewoldt and Hayes plus most of the others. I think the Tigers are looking for some more talent to add to their list and have space...

Eddie will never get over anything to do with the Lions. He's sounding like a broken record.

Another cheap publicity shot by a show which is gradually sinking. People are not watching in the nuimbers they once were so ambush guest, stage controversies, walk outs etc.

The whole thing is just another attempt at a ratings grab by The Footy Show. The show is slipping and now they have decided to go with cheap stunts and ambushes to create controversy and try and get viewers back.

Comments from NIRS. Another soft free kick by McLaren to the Dons where there was no contact. Ridiculous umpiring. Will be back in the bush next week. Has gone out of his way to favour Dons. Give Sheedy credit his ploy to criticise McLaren has worked. One of the commentators said " that was...

NIRS accuses McLaren of favouring Dons. Stated that it was the best $20k ever spent by the Dons as it has helped them to a winning lead. Seemed to think that McLaren is definitely favouring the Dons after half time. Indicated that someone may have said something to him at half time about...

Darky, If the rumours of his contract size are true then $20,000 is about what James Hird gets paid per match. So one way or another he lost a weeks pay provided that The Footy Show didn't put him up to it as a ratings grab and will pay the penalty for him.

If the fine is paid by The Footy Show or Sam or Eddie then that will create new problems. Makes it seem like it was purely a publicity stunt by The Footy Show and if that was the case then James may be asked back to explain further as this would have contradicted his statement given to the mdeia...

Just give us consistency is a cry from all supporters at all clubs. Too many times a player gets reported and rubbed out whilst the same incident occurs with another team or player and no-one does anything. From now on I would hope that any player that charges in and collects another player...

I believe the SBS story is on an alleged incident in Adelaide and does not concern either the Roos or Blues. The same player was rumoured to be involved in another incident when he played with the Brisbane Lions and was on an overseas trip.

A lot of football people are still upset about the role Thomas had in the Blight sacking and then opting to take the job on himself when better credientialled coaches were or are available. Perosnally I think that Grant Thomas is not a very good coach. He is a management double speak expert and...

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned but it is not only Blues players who have been in the papers for the wrong reasons. Why on earth would you want to steal $75 worth of newspapers? From the Herald Sun Black and White and read all over Herald Sun , 05-03-2004 , Ed: 1 -...

David Hookes a wonderful cricketer. Such a tragic loss. Condolences to his family.

I had sciatica caused by a ruptured disc putting pressure on the nerve before my back operation and the recommendation was to place a hard stiff board under the mattress, no more golf or sport where I twisted or turned the back, to watch the way I lifted things and to use a kneel in chair whilst...

Really it will depend upon what time of the year and how long you are going to spend in the States but here's a start. Food can be very expensive in the States especially if you are a steak eater however there are lots of take away food places and a great variety of food. Try to work to a...

My wife and I love going to Disneyland and try to make each trip more than just a short visit. This normally means each 2 years and about 3 weeks away. On alternate trips we try and go across to DisneyWorld and New York. We normally have 5 days at Disneyland and do one or two of the shows...

Jim Boy, I have been to Euro Disney and IMO it is not as good. Certainly the staff both at the Hotels and in the park were a major problem initially and they had a reputation for not being Disney friendly. Most of the French staff have now been dismissed and replaced and the attitude and...

Dasher, I know its not a roller coaster but I really liked Mystery Lodge at Knotts. A show focussing on the history of the North American indian with the use of special effects to help demonstrate the story.

The only problem with going out of season is that Disney has a refurbishment schedule for rides and attractions and they are frequently closed for quite some time. I believe the next new attraction at Disneyland is going to be the Tower of Terror. This is currently in operation at Disney MGM...

You're very lucky to be going during the Christmas period as from December 1 all the parks and hotels etc have their Christmas decorations out and it is very special. The quietest and best time to go during this period is from December 1 to 17 as all the rides are open for the peak period and...
