Of course that's a knee jerk reaction. You're remembering the game as it seemed live, but watch it again without the emotion and it looks different. Carlton got a very nice run in the first quarter especially, overall the umpiring didn't really favour either team.

I see no reason why any of it had to become public. None of the comments have been confirmed, death threats, rape threats, whatever. On field stuff that clearly is not serious, sort it out on field or ask for mediation. It doesn't do anyone any good to give stuff like this to to the hysterical...

So Pettard started the whole thing as well? Soft, soft ****. Mentally weak and a good representation of the Melbourne footy club.

Not the best match to go up against, a lot of pies fans at metricon.

I think Krakouers was better, but Walkers was superb.

I think the Cats will win, but both teams will take it relatively easy.

got gifted a perfect draw too, and still won't get close to the finals. Amazingly shit team.

retro gear you mean?

Too simplistic. If you are found with drugs in your system, that is not illegal. If you are found with drugs in your system on game day, or with performance enhancing drugs at any time, that is cheating and is punished with a 2 year suspension from the game. Gambling is not illegal. But...

You just can't expect a player to turn down the kind of cash he is being offered. AFL is a tough sport, who knows how long a kid will last? I hope he does stay at the Dees, he's a future captain.

It was a big disadvantage to have the two byes so early in the season, but that can't be helped now. From here we just need to keep trying, not a lot of games that we can expect to win in the rest of the season, but its all about development as we know. Swallow is incredible in his consistency...

Heppell had 1 contested possession on the weekend, less than every other player who played a full game that week. Normally he gets a few more but he's certainly not a player who wins much of the ball himself. But does that really matter? His best position is loose behind the ball, where he can...

Any worry with a few key players not playing much in the pre-season you think?

Yeah, he clearly was. Kerr at his best was incredible.

Melbourne seem to have a well balanced young list, which is important. Give it time, they have a good chance to make the eight with a favourable draw this year, but even if they don't they look to be on the right track.

The SUNS not winning a flag.

Were they all busy the weekend after Freo kicked one goal against Adelaide last year? Only 22 thousand turned up that day. Our crowds will be bigger than that. And Freo only just scraped past 30k in the first round this season, everyone jumped on board after the good start to the season.

He's statistically the most inside player on that list. Dangerfield does have a very high contested rate, but you would expect his efficiency to be higher, although he doesn't get many possessions.

Didn't realise you weren't allowed to discuss players anymore. Adelaide fans getting very touchy for a team that just knocked off the reigning premiers. Been drinking a bit tonight boys? :D What other position is he playing that makes his disposal so poor? :p Crow-mo called him an inside mid...

Pretty tough run home. Would only expect them to win a couple of those.

Is it? I'd say the average would be more in the high 60s. Other inside mids average Jobe Watson- 70.12 Matt Priddis- 72.32 Daniel Cross- 76.8 Matthew Boyd- 64.72 Chris Judd- 67.11 Andrew Swallow- 73.51 Lenny Hayes- 69.77 You'd have to say Danger is certainly below average in that regard for...

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that he would have? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/kreuzer-picked-in-nick-of-time/story-e6frf9if-1111114963867 And Naitanui was also AA in the carnival.

We still have the Pre-Season and Rookie drafts to look forward to. :) I think they are on the 15th of December?

That's really just an opinion, and there's no way of proving it one way or the other. I don't agree, I think Judd has been a superstar of the competition for a lot longer than Ablett has, and played well when the team he has been in hasn't. Ablett has played fantastic in three season when his...

If Wirrpanda doesn't win this it will be a massive fail. Has done fantastic work off field for a number of years, also recieved the Young Western Australian of the Year award this year or last. If they decide to give it to someone else, Tom Harley is probably a good chance.

To Tin Can Sam, Cousins had Kerr and Judd as inside players. He had 391 kicks and 221 handballs that year, plus 149 inside 50s (more than any player from 2009) and kicked 24 goals. Ablett had less than 300 kicks this year and only 67 inside 50s. Personally I thought he was more valuable in...

I thought Collingwood and the West Coast had been the most profitable clubs the last few years? Or are we just comparing Melbourne clubs? Because the Eagles also had the most members this year when you include all memberships with their huge waiting list. And Adelaide have dropped off a bit...

I did see that Highlighted are the two best parts. :D

Less than 50% of people in Blacktown know the best League player hey? Surprising.
