Time for an AFL club to take a punt on Fevola
2 Dec 2011Over several years of calamity and sordidness, Brendan Fevola has proven himself to be the fool of the AFL.

Where will your AFL club stand in 2015?
14 Jun 2011The 2011 AFL season is at its halfway point, but instead of analysing what has happened so far, let’s cast our eye on the future. Five years into the future in fact, including this year, to 2015. AFL is clearly cyclical, clubs rise and fall over the years. The inclusion of each team’s final ladder [...]
