26 May 2011

Eight AFL coaches come out of contract at the end of the current season, and nine weeks in, some of them must be wondering if they will have jobs next year.

A move to the Lions would be good for the club and footy in Queensland but I doubt very much that Brisbane sack Voss. He is a hero of the club and I think that is clouding their judgement. Malthouse may enjoy having a smaller role at a successful club next year (Collingwood) than a cocahing role at a club he would have to build up again. He might like a Hawthorn or Carlton but they both look safe enough at present.

This Australian Open has sadly proved what the networks think of the females game. The mens match is on before the females most nights and by the time that is over everyone is off to bed. I was at the Nadal match last night where 15000 were there for it and the stadium cleared out before the womens match. By the end there were 2000 people in RLA - be it at 130am. This is a sign that the womens competition isnt rated by the networks and that is why we dont see any Fed Cup action which is sad.

I also agree with Garner. As I recently stated in my last article a two-tier system would disadvantage the smaller nations. We shouldnt be trying to put teams down but should look to builld them up. It is all about the development of the game and pouring funds into the game in every nation to make it a more competitive all round. We dont need to change the game just need to develop the players that pley it to improve the standard.
