Big lol at the people saying that the Hawkins "goal" cost us the Grand Final. What about the goals Adam Schneider and Steve Milne missed? Or can those two misses be forgiven because of biasy? Anyway. Who is to say that if the Hawkins goal was correctly called a behind (which it should of b...

Best footy program on tv is AFL360 on Fox Sports. Love watching it each week, they discuss football in great detail but also in an interesting way. Footy Show on thursday night is poor, i have not watched it in properly in about 6 years now bar the odd episode here and there and flicking through the...

Well what was his handicap. If i got 40 metres over Dean Cox, then im sure id beat him too. Rhys Stanley winning the Stawell Gift and GF Final Sprint doesn't mean that much i dont think.

Yeah i just double checked on Wiki, it is definitely run on Easter weekend. On Easter Monday infact.

Stawell Gift is run over the Easter weekend im pretty sure, not Grand Final day, i could be wrong though.

Isn't the Grand Final Sprint a handicapped thing?

...Anyway if they DO win this week, he'll be on a hiding to nothing next year. Three in a row is pretty unlikely. So by definition they must do worse next year. The main problem with going three in a row is motivation. Will players push themselves to the 110% required to win? Will they make the nec...

He has potential, but im not sure his best is going to be good enough to take us to premiership #2. His kicking is suspect and he struggles to hold on to marks and there are question marks on his pace.

Hopefully a solid pre season will help sort these issues. Maybe a new coach will help him blossum?

I'm pretty sure Buckley would prefer to be part of a flag than to be part of a losing Grand Final. Absurd statement

Just tell your kid that Ross took up a better option at Freo. No need to beat around the bush, im sure he will understand.

This guy is right. In so many words, he is right.

This is the kind of loser mentality that I hate. Your relieved and happy the players can "have an extra rest" by being eliminated the finals. So what happens next year if we hanging around the top 8 and not quite good enough? Should we shut up shop and lose so our players can get an extra...

The poster "I Love Peter Kiel" is a troll, it is obvious

Not a brilliant player, but Ross Lion has a role for him and Dawson plays that role very well. He struggled a bit towards the end of this season, but so did a lot of players. I definitely see a role for Zac next year and for years to come.

Well what about some kind of cookie that tracks page loads? Once you visit 5 threads it makes it bring up a screen asking you to either register or login to continue viewing the forum? Delete cookies, keep viewing. No point. Yeh but 90% of the people who'd come on here wouldnt be smart enough to re...

I think locking the forum to members only is a crazy idea. I check this forum on my phone a lot and each time you have to log in. Given im on Vodafone half the time my phone browser times out cause of bad reception. Not sure if there are others in that boat but its damn annoying. Also, it will stop ...

Na Robert Harvey was twice as good as Nathan Ablett. He won 2 Brownlows and Nathan has 0. Ludicrous comment...

Na i disagree. I think he has another year or two left in him, even with this knee injury. Even if he doesnt return to his best form, he always goes in hard and gives 100% every single time, plus his leadership out on the field is exceptional.

Andrew McQualter is better than Nathan Ablett.

Tough call. Both Ball and Judd are premiership players so are obviously doing something right. Would love to have Juddy playing at the Saints but at the same time he annoys the s*** out of me too. He is arrogant, was announced captain at Carlton without even playing a game and he is a one man band o...
