Sorry to disappoint guys, but that BigFooty user is known to make up crap quite regularly I would love to get Frawley, but why in the world would Melbourne let this happen Pelchen seems sneakily confident, and wouldn't put it past him Which poster? Its basically all rumour and trash over there. You...

We were a ruckman and a Key backman short. Who knows how many of the close game we may have won with those two players. That forms part of my concern though JB... Chris Pelchen clearly kept Peake/Polo at the start of the season, instead of securing Dawson. Hawthorns defence isn't their strong suit ...

I wish people would stop twisting words. I have never said throw everything at him... I've only said try to meet him a little of the way, but we haven't budged, not even pretended to try. There is such a thing as meeting half way, loyalty certainly works both ways. Knowing the Saints, they probably...

Bit suprised on the comments by some on here. I personally feel the partner should be at the birth. However, as a supporter, I feel they should be at the grand final as I have no emotional investment in the birth of the child and want the player on the field on GF day. It is easy to mount an argumen...

Yeah, but they have also been comfortable signing players to longer term deals.

Really? Then why is Paul Chapman so disgruntled at the moment.....??

Mark Harvey said that this was the year he was going for the premiership... reasonable injury list, I believe that they needed to finish 4th at minimum with a prelim, for a pass. To me they underachieved yes, I do believe this stuff about how much Lyon has improved Freo is a bit overrated. Their in...

Good deal offered by the club. BJ is extremely loyal and I don't see him going anywhere. He is dipping his toe in the water to see if he can get the Saints to up the offer.

Think we will end up offering a 4th year and I am confident he will stay.

What is going to be even more upsetting in the days and weeks to come is the blame game that will go on. Never understood the need for blame when their is devastating loss and suffering. Blaming does not take the pain and hurt away. This story is becoming more upsetting as the hours pass. Tragic los...

Apparently they are on a plane as we speak (or so is being reported). Regardless, it just leaves me feeling sick inside. Young people leaving so early is just such a tragedy and such a waste regardless of whether they have a public profile or whether it is Joe Blow from 2 houses down. Just makes you...

This is bloomin' awful! So young and still had so much life ahead of him. As a parent, all I can think of right now is how his parents must be feeling.....

It is *believed* to be John McCarthy from Port Adelaide. Sickening incident. Apparently fell from a balcony.

Makes you stop and take stock.

We will drop this to $70. Just want to try and recoup some money for these.

I have 2 adults and 1 junior ticket plus an underground car park pass that I can't use due to an illness in the family. Cost was a total of $135 but would be happy to take around the $80-$90. I am open to reasonable offers. Seats are on level 1, Row C Seats 47, 46 and 45. They are in email format so...

The Freo list was quite good prior to Ross's arrival. He is just making the most of what he has. No one has ever doubted Ross's coaching ability. It is his long term development of youngsters that is his biggest flaw. He coaches and trades for the here and now. His development of youth is were he ne...

Improve his kicking and he will make it back in. If he doesn't, not looking good for him.....

An absolute GUN in the making!!! With a full pre-season and a wee bit more experience, we have ourselves a fine player for the next tilt at the flag! When one puts Steven, Armitage, Simpkin, Ledger, Cripps, Milera, Saad into the mix, I really see this as the beginning of an era rather than (as the ...

There are about 50 threads on the same thing.......

By the way, he is not going anywhere.

An open and honest interview that lays the cards out on the table in regards to tactics employed by some players to get the upper hand. We have heard of incidents from the 'old days', which does not seem to upset the footy public. However a player from the current era comes out with a tell-all and p...

After dropping a Perth based online gambling service, the Wildcats have now picked up their biggest sponsor ever. This is a Commonwealth government agency, I wonder if our management has explored or has complacency set in with online gambling? http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/perth_wildcats_sign_...

You better speak to Scotty Watters then as he seems to think we will be.

I will give him a call later today to set him straight.

Some of the the comments in this thread have left me scratching my head. This team will not be rebuilding. It doesn't need to. We are a couple of players short of being a top 4 team. A tall key defender and a secondary ruckman to help out Macca and we are back to where we should be (which is top 4)....

At least thr Geelong fc are brave enough to complain about the umpires were as we just take it on the chin. Did Chris Scott get an apology this week? I don't think so. Looking forward to getting some 'favourable' decisions this week. Just once I would like to walk away from a game and say 'gees, we...

Doesn't sound great, but there are 2 sides to every story and we haven't heard the other side yet.

Are the AFL going to have enough security around the grounds to take the names and numbers of the supporters that vilify Milne each and every week? He is abused from the crowd AND has been abused by opposition coaches but that is fine? Seriously political correctness gone mad. If the player wasn't u...

I knew as soon as I saw McInernery's name that we were in trouble..... That would have to be one of the WORST displays of umpiring I have seen in some time. Numerous frees to us not paid, but gimme's given to Collingwood resulting in a 14-25 count at the end of the night. The last one against Milne ...
