Alleged assault charge overshadows Pies' win
5 Oct 2010It’s just what the AFL and the Collingwood Football Club didn’t need. Police are currently investigating an alleged assault involving a player during the Magpies post-grand final celebrations. And while no charges have been laid, and a number of players have voluntarily submitted interviews, unfortunately the incident threatens to overshadow the Magpies’ premiership. It’s obviously [...]

With his dashing pace, colourful ink filled sleeves and recent history in polling, there’s no doubt the Great Dane will have caught the [...]
Gary Ablett must be going to the Gold Coast
17 Sep 2010It might sound like I’m stating the bleeding obvious, but surely now the writing is on the wall for the Cats. If Ablett planned on staying with Geelong, he would have made an announcement before the finals, not after. He’s well and truly flagged his intent. Besides, every uncontracted player earmarked to be heading to [...]
