Saints will defeat Geelong this weekend, but will most likely get defeated in the preliminary final. The Saints have a proven history of winning matches when they are under-dogs and loosing matches when they are favourites.
And....Nick Riewoldt will win the Brownlow.
I think it would be a great idea if we had the premiership winning teams and runners-up from each state league play in a Champions League play off.
If we can some how get the top 2 or 3 clubs form each state league( SANFL, VLF, WAFL, TAS, NSW, NT, QLD etc..) we could have a successful 16 team...
The Irish connection has not been disproved, it has been ignored. There are two unique features about Aussie Rules and Gaelic football that separates them from any other sport on Earth and that is handpassing and bouncing the ball on the run. Both of these two features originated from Caid in...
It is fact and it has been proven that there was a very popular football code identical to Aussie Rules that was being played on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland, prior to 1850. Evidence has been brought to us from the thesis of Father W. Ferris of Glenflesk, Co.Kerry.

I have just completed an extensive search through the AFL library and information database and have discovered the answer.
The numbers represent their IQ level.
McLeod's way better than Crawford. He is a much stronger player by far.
But if you get the best attributes from both players you get someone of the likes of Robert Harvey.
If you are tall and skilled with the ball then you will go far in Aussie Rules. But if you haven't played Aussie for most of year teenage years then you will only last a few years in the AFL. The young fella will get bowled over in every match.
I totally agree with your comments. An existing AFL club needs to re-locate to Tasmania. I am a die-hard saints supporter and at one stage the saints were going to be that team to re-locate to the South. In fact for one year in the 90's we were called the Southern Saints. But for some reason it...
I agree. The new team shouldn't be called Tasmania. I have thought of the following options:
Hobart Braves
Launceston Warriors
Devonport Raiders
The Islanders
Southern Devils
Boston’s Celtics, Glasgow Celtic, Notre Dame Fighting Irish or London Irish Rugby - These clubs are part of the Irish diaspora - The actual players of the teams don't have to be part of the Irish diaspora, but if they do then they tend to become fan favourites.
The Celtic brand name for a club...
The best name for the club is "the Gold Coast Goldfish" or "Gold Coast Mermen", or maybe "the Gold Coast Plankton".
But honestly I hope it is Gold Coast Celtic
Irish Convicts make up a very small part of the Irish Dispora in Australian history. The majority of the Irish in Australian came out to Australia in the 1850's at the time of the Irish famine and during the gold rush. Most of these Irish were Free settlers, not convicts.
Sydney Celtic is a...
There is no reason why he can not play if he has epilepsy. It is not like he is flying an aircraft or driving a train. The worst that could happen to him is a fit. So what? Heaps of players have had fits out on the field after being knocked out and they didn't have epilepsy.
The only reason...
If the new Sydney club is going to be named the Celtics, it will not matter the slightest of where they are based. The majority of the clubs supporters we be in the wider Sydney area, Melbourne and overseas, and they will make up a huge number. For example most of Glasgow Celtic's supporters...
Your statement is racist.
The majority of the Irish people around the world have bloodlines from the Gaelic Celtic race. When we talk about Irish we are generally talking about the Gaelic Celts of this world whose ancestors hale from Ireland.
We are not talking about Irish citizenship which...
Most Irish jokes are about an Englishman, an Aussie, or Scottish bloke.. etc and an Irishman. And they all end with a laugh about how stupid the Irishman is. And don't forget that for 800 years the Irish have been put down, killed off and been treated as second class citizen by the British.
