Can’t see Siddle playing for Australia again, plenty of fast bowlers ahead of him (even Pattinson & Cummins you could say)

I think you’re missing the point- The Friday night example is one of I’m sure many incidents of ‘bias’ this year. However my point is, Do Channel Seven or Fox Footy monitor what their employees say during a broadcast, and provide adequate training to these commentators?
There is no denying that certain people in the media do this, but it needs to be left out of the broadcast.
AFL commentators and the dreaded 'b' word
Personally W4str3I , I care about the NAB Challege. I’ll be following my Tiges heavily, however the focus won’t be on results but more just a chance to see the youngsters. Teams won’t really take things serious until late March, and that will probably be my attitude as well. Last nights result sums up the competition, there is no way the Hawks will lose a game in 2015 by 10 goals.
Who cares about the NAB Challenge?
I don’t thiink he will play, as you say he doesn’t deserve to on his form. It’s a dead rubber, hence why Australia could take a risk.
Lyon is fit to play, I still think Smith should concentrate on bowling as he could be our second spinner.
Happy New Year
Australia made the right choice picking Ashton Agar
I really like this idea. With English crowds beginning to drop, they really need a change in the system.

Blakely has the ability to play on the outside due to his speed and agility. For Swan Districts he played on the outside as well as on the inside. Blaine Boekhorst has firmed in the last few days to get to Carlton, with his size and speed he is a chance, the only knock is that he probably isn’t going to play AFL in 2015 due to his size.

I’m with you on the opinion that they will take an outside mid. But I really can’t see them passing up on the chance to get Marchbank. It’s likely Garlett is around, but unless Weller/Ahern/Ellis slips to Carlton there probably isn’t a classy proven mid that the earlier picks have.

Not sure about Day/Night tests, players complained last year about the ball and seeing it, yet they decide it’s fine to play test cricket.
Day-night Tests one step closer
Geez I really though Fremantle might have given Sandilands the week off. A game clear on top, Griffen travelled.
