Re: Sydney tactics
It's way too simple to say we want the ball pumped in to a contest instead of chipping around to loose men outside 50. You don't see it watching on TV, but at the Dome on Saturday night on one occasion Riewoldt had possession on the flank and if you looked into the forward 50 there were about four ...

It's a massive no-no in basketball. In fact, I'm not sure if you remember but it started a blue in a pre-Olympics warm-up match between the Dream Team and the Boomers in the US in 1996. Charles Barkley kept taking Shane Heal's legs out from underneath him. Heal, never one to take a backward step, tu...

I'd rather see them kick to a contest 40-50 metres down the line then CONTINUALLY chip it sideways looking for something to open up. I also reckon there was a distinct lack of movement up forward when the flood was on. Forwards are there to take contested marks. They have a better run with umpires n...

Footy is a boring game. The AFL has made it even more boring on-field. So, the only way to get interest in it, is through off-field 'drama'. People talk about it, and people read it. It sells - the on-field element barely does these days. How often, do neutral supporters talk about how good a game ...

contrived rubbish Got it in one. Both sides are as bad as eachother, though Damian Barrett didn't come across as being as a smart-alec like his two colleagues, and showed some honesty. Bailey is a tough nut mongrel and exactly what Melbourne needs, though given he'll be a square peg in a round hole...

Best on-field whack
Prompted by an earlier posting where I was asking if anyone had vision of Lazar whacking half of Freo in a pre-season cup game :lol: it got me thinking about a few others I'd seen over the years. I remember one behind play when Robbie Mace actually king hit some Footscray player who tried something ...

Great post but ctqs please don't change avatar - remind everyone what a star Nick was! Thanks for that. It's my favorite footy pic of him too, though the one after THAT game at Victoria Park is my all-time favorite. The picture of him taking a screamer over a Richmond player was taken by an Age pho...

West Sydney Drive-bys. Wouldn't be surprised if there was an element of sky blue in their jumper to trade off the state's official colour. Has to be the Gold Coast (loan) Sharks, you'd imagine. Having said that, the way sports are going these days, expect another crap Amercanised name like Port wen...

Call me a cynic but by admitting his drug use, is he jeopardising his chances of being allowed back into the United States? Now I wonder why he'd do that? As well, with all his media committments dried up, he needs to find a real source of income for the first time in his life. I suppose the $180k w...

Lazar whacking half of Freo
Hey, just wondering if anyone has vision of Lazar belting those two Freo players in the first round of the 1995 Ansett Australia Cup. That was Freo's first game in the AFL. What an intiation! :D But anyway ... I reckon it'd make a great avatar. As much as I love my pic of Nicky, I reckon I might upd...

I'm getting a little annoyed about the earnestness going on around the importance - or lack thereof - of the NAB cup. If they put up $380,000 for Round One of the home-and-away season, then they may have an argument. NO team can sneeze at that amount. But other legitmate benefits of the NAB Cup incl...

Certainly possible... what you'd be banking on is AFL eventually becoming more popular than Thugby in Sydney? 50-100 years predictions are tough... Bribane (and Melbourne) may have bigger populations than Sydney by then.... or we could all be under water! :wink: Yeah, I reckon water polo could be t...

I wouldn't be surprised if he took over the role Hamill played. The forward there to run around, crash into opponents and clear paths for other blokes, create extra defensive pressure to keep the ball inside 50, and generally put the fear of God into anyone wearing an opposition jumper who goes near...
