Anyone know why Andy Otten's not getting a game for the Crows. Seems like talia has gone ahead of him. I think he's a really good player.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/144104/default.aspx Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley said O'Brien wasn't affected by the remark by Milne. "Harry straight after the game wanted nothing to do with it (making any complaint)," Buckley told radio station 3AW on Thursday...

I see a lot of Harry O bashing on this thread, but hasn't it been reported that he has told the AFL he doesn't want this taken any further??? Or am I wrong in this??? Where does it say that? Heard the guys on SEN saying it on my drive home. Also, robbo said it again on AFL360 also said no one from ...

Free agency compensation will be far less. Compensation will be assessed at the end of trade week and will depend on how many players you've lost/signed. I've heard here that the top level of compensation is going to be mid first round, but I don't know that as a fact. I have no idea whether we cou...

He is restricted free agent - if we were not able to match he goes and the AFL works out the compo. As a former No1 draft pick runner up in Norm Smith Medal, and top 5 B & F finisher i would expect at least Scully type compensation , perhaps a 1st rounder and start of 2nd round compensation pic...

I am starting to think that BJ is a flat track bully who can't handle playing on an opponent. I may have to get out some DVD's of 09/10 to remind myself that he can actually play. Was he a sook back then? Hard to remember. He's always been a heart on sleeve type player. some times this spills over ...

If he is going to go, GWS would be the best result, would be due the ablett/scully type compo. I believe under free agency the maximum compo is one first round pick. Also I think GWS will battle for the next couple of years so the hurt factor is less.

I think he'll stay though.

a lot of brownlow medal winners have been traded. lockett. judd. greg williams. gerard healy. ian stewart. gavin wanganeen. brian wilson. shane woewodin! someone obviously does trade these champions. In the case of most of these there was not a lot of choice with the club losing the player. Lockett...

Don't loose too much sleep over the fixture, it ain't gonna change. Ive seen dozens of ideas on web sites and papers and footy shows, from the good to the ridulous. As long as every year the afl want to come out and say crowds are up, ratings are up etc..... The fixture will be manipulated to suit t...

Still sounds a bit troubling. Though at least the ship is being steadied, and the issues gotten on top of (hopefully). These are the things that ad a fan you hope are being done properly, a few badly written contracts can rearly bite you on the arse. But as an "outsider" you just never rea...

Come on mate, we have enough trouble understanding the dropping the ball law!!

Does anyone like ANY commentators on TV???? Or are they OK just when we win and crap when we lose ?? I don't mind the Friday night team. Foxtel games are OK commentator wise. I can't stand BT. I think he may have dementia or another brain disease. I reckon the problem with 7 is there is just too mu...

With his left foot? It's embarrasing..... Here I am trying to impress my 12yo grandson with the importance of being two-footed in todays game, and he points to Milney as being the best example of a single footed player. All this argument came about as I pointed out to him how Blake was forced on to...

I'm pretty sure all clubs can elevated a rookie after the mid way point of the year regardless of injury.

Reckon malthouse used to make a lot of late changes as well.

The pies like to kick it long and deep to Dawes and Cloke, so no surprise Roo and Kosi are kicking goals this year.

Fremantle may have the money, but all my mail is that Goddard does not want to play under Ross Lyon again. Will GWS go after anybody? Or are they sufficiently happy with their early development that they'll stick with what they have and keep the money to try and keep as many of the kids together as...

Read this from Jon Ralph, take it as you will but thought it would add to the discussion on the thread. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/expert-opinion/free-agency-market-watch/story-fn6cisdj-1226385214357 The Dockers will be the aggressor in free agency because they have the coin. We keep hearing ab...

I still think the only concern is Goddard. Think the rest will stay if they are wanted.

Just an opinion though.

Biggest crowd of the year at etihad.

How a stadium of 55k needs 28k to break even is beyond me, but I probably shouldn't get started on all that.

Quoted for the sake of sanity!!!

Roo was good tonight people, sure he's closer to the end than the start, but he's had a good year.

Actually been a lot better than I'd thought he'd be, with his bad knee.

...probably indicates why we're 5-5. Surely losing Zac has had little impact; perhaps Fisher a little more. Totally agree with the comment re losing Zac...but re Fisher...What? Just a little?...I'd say perhaps a FRICKEN CONTAINERLOAD more And it doesnt help that Blake and Gilbert were playing in th...

well i think its just common sense given the colour scheme I agree, I think it's the jumper that's important. I know it really irks some, but the old rule of the away team wears white shorts hasn't been consistent for years. If your home jumper has more white in it and it helps avoid a clash I don'...

I heard the whole thing and didn't think anything he said pointed to him going or staying for that matter. Just can't see how anyone would deduce that he is going from that interview ? He is a serious and intense character. I don't think he'd suffer fools or innuendo well. He said he thought all th...

Does the shorts colour actually bother anyone, surely if the jumper is OK, who cares about white shorts?? I couldn't care less about the shorts colour!!
