State of Origin robbing Storm of their players

16 Jun 2012

Can just one Origin fan justify losing Billy Slater to us Storm fans? Since moving to the beautiful city of Sydney five years ago, I have done my best to get into the league spirit and culture.

A significant day for AFL race relations

The funny thing is, the author is being racist and he doesn't even know it. Just like the people who want to have a separate medal for the best indigenous player. Indigenous people just want to be treated as equals, it's as simple as that and all this article is doing is reinforcing how these two are somehow not the norm, something special from their race. Acknowledge it for what it is, one great player and one potential super star on the horizon. That's what this is about and I love seeing great players like this going head to head, not the colour of their skin!!!

Skipper leads Cats to victory over reigning premiers

What interest me more about this game was the style of football the Swans were willing to play. At this point in time the game as changed very drastically at the top. I have noticed the trend to play through the corridor not just for the brave and fool hearted, but many of the top 8 teams at the moment. Geelong have been playing like this for over a decade and Bommber Thomson took it to a new level in 2007. Scott I believe has also taken it to a new level this year with the massive running power of this mid field and half forward flankers in his outfit.Truely amazing to watch, but the Swans also played this style of game for what looked like most of the match. This I think was very interesting and I look forward to seeing how Longmire responds to this in the larger grounds in Melbourne. I also think the team which has set this trend is Richmond. Hardwick has his troops running very hard and fast through the centre corridor also, very exciting to watch and hard to stop if you can get it in fast to tall athletic forwards. The two teams who are not playing this structure of interest are both Coillingwood and Hawthorne. I think both of these teams are going to get left behind this year if they can not adapt to this new growing trend.

How does Adam Scott slot into Australia’s greatest sporting achievements?

Dude your last sentence makes no sense what so ever. This is my point though. England are good enough to compete as England in Soccer, so they do so. England are good enough to compete as England in Rugby Union, so they do so. England are good enough to compete as England in cricket, so they do so. England are not good enough to compete at League, so they do so as GB. They are not good enough to compete in the Olympics as England, so they compete as GB. I think my point is clear, just as when Andy Murray wins anything in tennis he is a Brit. When he loses he is a Scot, simple as that my friend.
