If Parramatta Stadium was oval shaped then that would be a better option than the SCG and would generate much bigger crowds than 10k. The problem is the Homebush precinct.

Definitely not trolling. I live in the inner west. Do you think crowds of 10k are acceptable?

Fair play. I want GWS and AFL to succeed in Sydney. I've lived in here for 15 years and gone to a lot of Swans games, including when they played at Olympic Park - when they had direct trains and even dedicated buses through the inner west and north! I like the Giants, and I'd like to go to more...

SCG would be quicker for anyone east of Leichhardt, also for anyone on the North Shore - there are far more AFL and more GWS fans in these areas then there are in western Sydney. You do realise they don't put on the direct train service to Homebush for GWS games? It has to change over at...

I like really watching the Giants, but I don't like going to Olympic Park, for any event, not just footy. I live in the inner west and much prefer the SCG. Not the least of which because it's quicker and cheaper to get to and has a much better vibe. Given the crowds at the Showgrounds are not...

Injury to the community is covered under Criteria 1) justice, as is damage to the perpetrator. The criminal intent is also covered under Criteria 1) justice and 2) deterrent. Criteria 3) is all about recidivism - a crime committed by a good person in unique circumstances who has great prospects...

I'm not pumping up Christian, trust me. However, the MRP is better than the tribunal. How many players get let off on technicalities around the charge? The fact that there are plenty of criminals that have committed 3 or more killings or rapes tells you that they have been released after...

I'm not blaming judges. I'm asking why can't we accept that the laws are outdated and bring them into the 21st century? Why does the sentencing have to have a mystical quality about it and be put under the responsibility and judgement of a single person based on inconsistent and imperfect...

I understand that our courts are based on the English common law system, which originated almost 1000 years ago after the Battle of Hastings and was largely in place by the 1870s. Isn't it about time the Australian court system was made fit for purpose? Sentencing judges only need to ask 3...

Toby Greene ahead of Stengle based on goals plus assists.

Is anyone doing a Yahoo league with spare spots?

If the AFL wants to reduce concussions there are lots of options other than suspending players. require all players to wear soft helmets like Darcy Jones make the ground surfaces softer - when the NRL State of Origin was held at the MCG a number of league people commented how much firmer the...

Didn't have both arms pinned. Cameron grabbed the right arm, but he had hold of the torso under Duggan's left arm. It wasn't pinned.

The grading matrix is also too simple. How can 1) minor concussion symptoms and 2) a KO with convulsions and 3) a broken jaw and teeth knocked out all be graded the same way as "Severe"?

I reckon the Panthers prop combination of Moses Leota and James Fisher-Harris must now rank as the equal-best of the modern era alongside Shane Webcke and Petero Civoniceva.

To measure the speed of game throughout each match, is Champion Data or its licensees publishing any of the following by minute: Metres gained Pressure acts Stoppages

If I had to rate my top 25 by the number of times listened to: Basic Instinct – Jerry Goldsmith The Mission - Ennio Morricone Excalibur – Wagner/Trevor Jones Flash Gordon - Queen Dances with Wolves– John Barry The Empire Strikes Back - John Williams The Karate Kid - Bill Conti Pearl Harbor –...

Half-year NSW Government report card - C. On the bad side, he's bowed to the pokies lobby and undone the most innovative housing policy change (land tax option vs stamp duty) the state has seen in years. Only a couple of corruption allegations, which is less than expected. On the good side...

Played 7 VFL seasons. Finished 11th, 2nd, 29th, 3rd and 4th in the Brownlow before injury made him miss half of season 6. St Kilda won 68% of games he played and made finals 4/7 years. Ian Stewart always said he thought he was only half as good as Baldock. My old man grew up in the 50s and was...

So you think things will turn around under current ownership? Or you think they will sell?

Has anybody seen a list of the all-time newspaper and radio footballer of the year award winners? The Herald Sun award winners since 1991 are on wikipedia, but I'm after the winners from The Sun, The Herald, The Age, ABC, 3LO, 3AW etc

In all honesty, I hope we get relegated ... if it leads to new ownership coming in with the ambition to win the title again. The current slow spiral to the bottom is unbearable. The culture starts at the top, and until we get owners who are prepared to buy the best players and managers, and...

Final guess. 1922: Grand Final v Collingwood (MCG) 1944: Grand Final v Richmond (Junction) 1963: Round 10 v Geelong (Brunswick St) 1970: Round 1 v Richmond (MCG) 1971: Round 21 v Carlton (Junction) 1979: Round 17 v Melbourne (Waverley) 1983: Round 13 v North...

Can you advise if the 7 RoyLion got right and my 7 were the same games?

My entry 1922: Grand Final v Collingwood (MCG) 1928: Round 11 v North Melbourne (Arden St) 1944: Grand Final v Richmond (Junction) 1970: Round 1 v Richmond (MCG) 1979: Round 17 v Melbourne (Waverley) 1983: Round 13 v North Melbourne (Junction) 1986: Elimination Final v Essendon (Waverley) 1992...

Does anyone have a teamsheet from the 1981 and 1982 under 19s Grand Finals?

Have they shown this on the front bar yet?

No Saturday night matches from Brisbane, GWS or Gold Coast please. Lack of crowd atmosphere kills it for TV. No feature games for Carlton or St Kilda until they turn the corner.

Just saw this on Beep Test. Amazing these players agreed to do it. So bad it puts a stain on all of their careers - even Capper.

So are you agreeing with me that lack of free agent pick ups is the problem or do you think it’s something else?
