Without rehashing old arguments... The AFL will wait until GWS and GC have gained some legs before making this happen. Would they try and compensate us to move. Unlikely, unless they threw $5-7 mil a year at us, plus revenue from lost Tassie memberships. I think Tassie will be looked at...

To quote Ben Folds.... The Battle of Who Could Care Less?

I personally think the final 8 should remain. If they do look at a final 9, the AFL wont adopt a system that has only 8 final matches, they'll work out a formula to make it 10 final matches or more. Think of the $$$$ In this scenario, only the number 1 team gets the benefit of a week off and...

He looks strangely comfortable with that gag in his mouth though... :o

Qantas don't operate to the Gold Coast at all. Qantas pulled most services out when Jetstar went live. They removed their last Sydney services a few years later when people adjusted to Jetstar If Qantas was still in charge, they would have operated a charter for those services, similar to...

Qantas has released a statement that this is the reason the deal fell over. If you need more evidence, blood samples, DNA swabs or whatever, probably best you e-mail AD instead of demanding proof from Bigfooty.

I'll declare myself as a Qantas employee. Everything I post here is personal opinion. It's an interesting decision. I think Virgin have been gift-wrapped an amazing opportunity to really grow their new 'premium' airline model with this signing. Their aircraft will be reconfigured over the...

Queued behind the Richmond faithful.

Re: Why was Rose speaking for the bulldogs on the footy show Longbomb is on the money. Aker had home court advantage and played the audience. Channel 9 set the Bulldogs up for a fail, and they compounded it by sending in the wrong guy. Rose was clearly out-gunned and out-staged. And who sends...

It's the new Hodge/Ball/Judd! Yay for that! Picking now, I'd take Martin. He has a lot more mongrel in him. Crystal ball for the long run? I think the order of drafting will prove correct. Scully, Trengove and Martin in that order. That's not a slight on Martin though. I love the way he goes...

You are absolutely kidding yourself. Seriously. Truthfully. Look at that statement then go watch this game again... Hawthorn v Footscray (trading as Western Bulldogs). Round 14. That's 3 weeks ago. Leave me a PM when you're done. We'll chat about what constitutes a player being 'good in all...

Excellent post! I'm not an Aker fan by any means, but the Dogs have made an absolute mess of this.

If a player goes down during the game and there's a massive chunk of turf thrown up in the process, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a walk-off.

The MRP won't allow precendents, yet will load up penalties if the player has been a bad boy in the past. If a player's past can be used, then the MRP's past should be fair game as well. This, among other things, doesn't sit well with me at all. Oh, and I'm with Eddie on one thing... MRP...

No affect. It might affect Ablett's management who will be watching the fan fallout and media reaction with keen interest. But for Ablett?... Nope. His mind is made up.

Can't see Port challenging for at least 4-5 years. Choad Cornes, Motlop, Brogan, Rodan, Pearce and Tredrea all need to be shown the door. One way or the other. Trade, retire, or shoot. Laidley would be the solid choice for caretaker, but I don't think he would accept the job full-time. I think...

Depends on who is after him. Hawks would offer 1st round and a fringe player if Bailey falls down again. If Bailey holds up, I think Hawks will pass. Geelong, doubt it. Ablett's decision will shape that club for the next 5 years. GC would throw a pick 7 or 9 or whatever they have in that...

Reason for the design? No. Not at all. I doubt that they intentionally went with this design in the hope that it would cause controversy. Although, having said that... Looking at the boxing one, it claims it'll kick your ass. Violence in society and all that. If I were marketing the shirt...

*SIGH* Classic marketing, kids. I guarantee these shirts will be sold out by the end of the week.

Hey Infamy... how is it bullshit? Have you watched Stratton this year? Yeah, thought not. Strat was outstanding against the dogs. Been fantastic all year actually. Have a read on the Hawks board. Most of the posters get half a mongrel at the mere mention of his name.

Chance isn't going the wrong way, his role within the team is changing. Cyril's emergence and game-time in the midfield is allowing Clarko the luxury of having someone with genuine speed in a tagging role. You also have to factor in that both Lewis and Xav are starting to step up, Burger is...

I think he'll get another run against Geelong but when Gibbo or Brown come back he'll be back at Boxy. Love him to death, but he's another pre-season away from starting 22.

I don't think poaching is going to be an option when it comes to Geelong. If you do lose Ablett (I got $5 on him going) then I think it will actually make it more difficult to steal anyone else. Salary cap room aside, it should create a stronger bond amongst those who stay. And I think...

20 hours later and I'm still seething about the Osborne decision. That is the one that should cost McBurney a few weeks in the VFL. He either guessed, or cheated. Call a spade a spade, Geish. Which is it???? If he has guessed, then he has no business umpiring at the elite level. If he...

The Osborne decision for unrealistic attempt should cost the ump a week in the VFL. The 50m he paid was because of the goal Rough kicked after he had blown his whistle. That, in a technical sense, was there. The umpire made a mistake, and couldn't very well balance that out by not paying what...

Could they look at an option of using synthetic turf?

It's on at 4.30pm Saturday (Fox) for those who need a fix.

No one is going anywhere. New teams. Tas19 and WA20. Industry pundits are saying TV rights will be north of 1 billion dollars for 2012-2016. What about 2017-2021? If, and it's a big if, GC17 and GWS18 make a real fist of it. A premiership or at least solid progress towards sustained...

I think 1.5-1.8mil over 3 years would be enough to get him over the line. That would rank him in the elite levels of pay, and there would be a couple of clubs with the cap room and the balls to take the risk. North and Richmond would be the two clubs I'd like to see him go to, but I'd say...

Positives... I didn't pay for my ticket tonight. Thanks work! Could have been worse. Hodge gave 110% all night. Renouf will make it. I never thought about it until tonight, but I think he can become elite. As others have said.. Young played. We've missed him. Stratton had a...
