- Black Diamonds: Great idea. Needs to be done. Call the comp “AFL2″ which will give it credibility as being close to the AFL in terms of association. The strong links between the 4 Northern AFL teams and this comp will also...
Waratahs lose one star, but re-sign another (4)

Russian rugby league at crisis point (221)

Giants, Rangers, Pride, Stallions? GWS’ name game (108)
- Redb: Pride and Stallions have both been dropped no doubt due to a lack of popularity. Interestingly ‘Cougars’ has not been included which just goes to prove the DT is full of it. No surprise Wolves is popular on other...

The longer Ablett waits, the greater discontent becomes (10)
- AndyRoo: They have K Hunt and the life saver mascott for personality and media stunts. Ablett brings bucket loads of credibility and even AFL ignorant people like myself can enjoy watching him play.
- Redb: I understand where your coming from but getting top line players is more important and a good off field record is a big positive when trying to win over a new market. Such is the bandwagon support nature of sport these days,...

Central Coast better beat the Fury! I hate how we have beat Melbourne 4-0, Brisbane 3-0 and Gold Coast 3-0 (when they used to be good!) already this season, and yet we can’t seem to lift against the teams at the bottom half of the ladder!

It is so frustrating because we obviously have the ability, but we seem to have the attitude that these “lesser” teams are easy beats and not much effort is required to beat them. I sometimes wish Lawrie was a bit harder on the team…
