Re: Duthie is writing a "Tell All" book...

Is it possible all this talk about a tell all book was just a way to get publicity for her new "only fans" account? or she has started one because no one was interested in paying her for her book? Either way seems like she is a bit desperate for money at the moment.

Becuse in the modern game a player rarely goes straight over the...

Re: 45 degree kick

they can kick left or right of the man on the mark and he can't move to smother it, which can make it a flat arc making less likely to intercepted (if accurate)

Re: Tassie's Ultimation to AFL:

This happened in the 1950s and 1960s in American sport. When a major sporting body denied entry to outsiders. What happened was that entire rival leagues were formed, or more often, they were formed on paper which then forced the major sporting body to relent and admit the aggrieved franchises. Ver...

I think it was touch and go for a while there TBH.
