Hearing about Blackpool and the EPL got me thinking Boothferry Park in Blackpool holds 16,000., a small stadium in an elite competition. Much the same as the proposed Ballarat Staduim. Fair Enough. Go for it. However even Manchester United and Chelsea have to play at Boothferry. So maybe...

The huge cost for melbourne is that the player who replaces Bruce is a 5th round selection in the rookie draft. They can't replace him in the national draft as he on the vets list.

Anyone see how he went v West Perth. With the injuries to the tall defenders he may be needed this year!

Free kicks for deliberately rushing a behind are now officially dead after the Freo v Port game. You can now rush a behind if you stand on the line and wait for someone to tackle you and walk it through. It will be interesting to see what the Giesch says about it. I can only ever remember three...

I didn't think the Grizzles made the playoffs?

Was watching the WA Vic Metro game and gave up and went to work. Spoiled by appalling umpiring. Shame usually young kids do a good job as they aren't influenced by the reputation of the player. And that was before i saw the 20-5 free kick count. Liked the look of Watson for metro. Longer (great...

Or that Stewie Dew was one of the ones that didn't survive. An amazing survival story from that crash in the Andes. Let the team play out the season without a salary cap or list - they can try players from the WAFL, SANFL and VFL to see if any are good enough. With Free Agency they can sign...

Association Football is only the world game becasue of the prevanence of poor nothern englanders in the british merchant navy. In countries where it was the elite of english society that had the most influence (British Colonies) the oval ball game ruled and the games that evolved from it. It's...

Kristian Anning changed his name to Kristian Bardsley - early 1990's Anning at North and Bardsley at the Saints

Sandilands Cox Jolly Ottens Hudson McIntosh Hille Jamar Brogan Clark/Ryder/Kreuzer Sandilands is number one - his impact around the ground in greatly underestimated. Teams go into matches blocking, sending three men up in most the around the ground contests in stop his influence. And have a...

And why is the AFL not doing something about this. A scolarship - appreticeship program for remote communities would be the way to go. Make these kids outside the salary cap. Allow payments to the communities and spend a bucketload on not just the footy of these kids but on them and their...

There is only one point to make about this whole story. Colin Young. This "manager" peddles his players saying that they are leaving every time one comes up for negotiations. The fact that he is doing it 12 months early suggests that Freo have already started contract extension negotiations with...

No they got pick 36. Mitchell probably would have been there 10-15 picks later, short slow and limited footskills. Not a kid for drafting, and was already well out of U18's and playing at Box Hill. (The recruiters got that wrong). Basically Hawthorn were the only club going to draft him as all...

Kicked two as EF 6.6 d Claremont 3.12 Game played right in the middle of the storm! He was struggling with cramp at the end of the game. Joined in the celebrations before running the 100m. Not sure who else was in the race.

Won the half time Sprint at the WAFL Grand Final. Pretty fair effort considering he played in the reserves Grand Final earlier in the day.

Re: Would it be fair to say Chris Yarran is the most talented player in this years draft. Yep the SANFL is so much better. Look at the past result a 17pt flogging at home shows how much stronger the league is I mean the SANFL 2's team whips the league team! 2006 Saturday May 26 at Adelaide...

Richmond - Daniel Boyle (Murray Bushrangers); Ian Callinan (Central Districts); Clayton Collard (East Fremantle); David Fanning (Port Melbourne); Joe Gazzo (Coburg); David Gourdis (Subiaco); Andrew Horne (Coburg); Cam Howat (Richmond rookie); Jarrod Silvester (Coburg); Will Sullivan (Western...

Actually hold up at the moment is with the WAFC. They want it to be a redeveloped Subi because they hold the lease and can therefore dominate sport in WA - charge the Force and Soccer to use the ground and basically do as they like. The WAFC won't commit to a new stadium elsewhere (unless...

The Michael Gardiner to the Eagles arose under pretty much the same rule that led Lloyd to Essendon. Any club that lost an uncontracted player to the new club got a 16yo as a compensatory pick. (the 16 year olds were unavailable to the new club) At the last moment the eagles "lost" Ian...

Before answerring, let me say that 95% of the stuff written about Cousins is absolute crap. Complete codswallop. Murders, swimming from police, all heresay, innuendo and speculation. Get facts together and what has been proven, not pure speculation. I mean bringing the game into disrepute...
