Not so sure, struggled to beat Argentina last night!!

The afl has no integrity so why expect the clubs to have it. Malthouse and his recruiters have systematically stretched the boundries of the rules. And the interchange, TV coverage and scheduling of games show the AFL are not that interested in keeping the integrity of the game. Could not agree mor...

Lol ulterior motive? Our ulterior motive is to try to give reasonable people a choice whether they want to be associated with the General Forum. Id like to hear what your suspicions are, though. The worst post by far i have had to read on this forum for dishonesty. How can there be choice when no o...

Why has this step been taken and who decided this, all very staziesque.

Also sick of Saints first game of the year now seeming to be always against the swans, a recipe for low scoring. Agree carlton v richmond has to stop being the first game particularly that the first game is a showpiece event that lots of people tune into. i switched over after 5 minutes which is lon...

Half the stuff in it is guff that you can read on the internet. May have to start paying for the internet guff now, announced that Rupert Murdoch is to start charging to view his online versions of some of his newspapers from June. I expect many other sport and news sites to follow suit. i only buy...

Australia's population is forecast to grow to 35 million, so i think there will be more than the 2 known extra franchises joining the AFL in coming years. A Tasmanian and a 3rd Perth team will make 20 and then i think you can look at having 2 divisons a premier and a second division. How great to in...

Rugby Union super 14 started a few weeks ago, there has already been 2 rounds of NRL, even formula 1 has started. Surely there is a case to start the home and away rounds much sooner. Replace the Nab cup with the real stuff, that allows 5 extra rounds, making a just acceptable half a year of home an...

- not being prepared to support people when they make mistakes.

This naive attitude is precisely the reason why Lovett is a repeat offender. Put your time and energies for the victims of these wasters.

I've been to all 4 MCG finals so far this year and the official attendance figures have had an extra 10,000 added on to what i really believe actually turned up. Also hate the way they fill up all the seats that are in camera shot. The MCC, Ponsford and Olympic stands are always empty on the upper t...

I know so many people who aren't going due to it being Fathers day, just don't understand it. Surely it's about the fathers, and most of them would rather be at the footy, especially for such a massive game. I notice fathers day is 100 times more of a big deal than the UK. Seems just as a big deal a...

Agree, i find a lot of Hawks fans cocky, arrogant you name it, unlike Cats fans who seem to have better manners. Hawks fans also more feral than Collingwood in my experience. Also Geelong winning another premiership denies a another club claiming a premiership over the saints in recent history. Hope...

Form has dipped for most teams after they have played the cats.

Seems a good idea to me, especially for those interstate games, like the upcoming game against Port. The only way to get a full stadium. AFl lacks the variety of venues that other codes have, so this makes sense in that respect too. I would locate it somewhere away from the city but close to public ...

Warm beer at 10.00am? No thanks !!

Choice of a 100 beers all with a distinctive taste. Don't go to a plastic pub, go to the atlas off lillie road, or the Anglesea arms or any by the river.

Although here the quiet man is good.

it should be nice to go to the dome and not be stunk-out of the joint.

agree, the Hawks supporters are the best opposition supporters in the league.

Only Essendon fans more annoying than hawks fans.

no Clearly there are a couple of questions asked, not a problem in this form of communication where you can't get replies immediately. The problem in the thread is the answer No, the respondent not bothering to relate their answer to a question. i wonder how many people have come on here, wanting t...

Hopefully Lyon has worked out that saints win with attacking football and will never revert to his 2005 Sydney gameplan, surely he is not that stubborn. Hawks i don't rate, easily beaten by 2 running teams this year the dogs and Roos. So round 17 gameplan worked, round 8 gameplan last year didn't, s...

Only one way for the players to get finals experience.

The other week they figured out why stk lost WB... we had no indigenous players playing in the game, pretty simple isnt it

How many indigenous players were playing for the Dogs? Is that the joke?

To me selling a home game interstate is effectively selling the 4 points. Melbourne and the bulldogs both play a "home" game in canberra. Not against any random team from the AFL but Sydney, effectively turning it into a Sydney home game. In the past melbourne have played "home" ...

Having been a football (soccer) boy all my life growing up in London the crowd noise is one of the biggest differences between the two spectacles. One thing you have to remember is that in their dimensions soccer stadiums are about 1/3 the size of footy grounds. This means that soccer crowds are cl...

The Roos are 2 different teams. Interstate they are worse than the saints. If the game was at the MCG the Roos would win (4 wins out of 4), away from there the saints are a chance.

BUt why the hell is this "eight pointer game" contested by 2 Melbourne teams not in Melbourne.

I'm not a fan of lyon, but it had come to a point where a shake up was required, as the team are going nowhere. Dal santo has been anonymous. Ignore the stats, they tell an incomplete picture of what's going on. The premiership is about the best team, not the best player or players. For once the pos...
