In the Herald Sun last week was an article about Channel Seven's heavyweight David Leckie wanting a night grand final for the AFL. The…

I would trade Mitchell for Bartel in a heartbeat.
Hoping the good looking Hawks stay that way
Did Sam Mitchell’s coaches forget to tell Sam that turnovers hurt? Seriously, as a hawks supporter it is frustrating to watch Sam turn the ball over time and time again and nobody seems to care. Bradley Hill is another that ‘looks good’ but has as many errors, turnovers and missed tackles as he has good disposals. Players like Buddy, Hill, Cyril and Sam get all the attension but Gibbo, Birch, Puoplo, Goo, Silk and Breust are the real superstars.

Brilliant cut out and great finish by Fonua.

What if making it looks like a personal fued increases the chances of success in getting the rules changed on gambling sponsorship? I think you might be forgeting how the media works, it has to be. a good story or it doesn’t get oxygen.
FitzSimons vs Waterhouse: the lesser of two evils?
Happy to lose another 10 in a row Jason. There is no substitute for a GF win. Fair to say you don’t understand much about GF wins and how rare and valuable they are.

I think Phil fell asleep…dont blame him.

Here’s how you overcome it. Ignore the newspaper, ignore the news at 6pm, ignore blogs that focus on negative stuff, just tune in when games kickoff. I have watched two games so far and both have been very high quality, superstars all over the paddock doing amazing things. I heard someone say that the Ben Barba issue is such a shame cause he is a once in a lifetime player…yeah, so is Inglis, Slater, Smith, Thurston, Bowen, Cronk, Johns, Lockyer, Lewis, Kenny, Benji, + another 20 names…our game is blessed by talent galore….
'Shattered' Flanagan suspended as crisis grows
All that happened AND THEN a record tv deal was done. It is big today but it will blow over, the game is in our veins, we are committed forever…we need it on weekends, and we love it, so relax everyone. The game will be fine. Clubs will come and go, that is business.
'Shattered' Flanagan suspended as crisis grows
Yep, it will alienate some supporters, but you will be replaced by three others. No point being a live and die supporter anymore, it is entertainment, just enjoy the good bits and try to ignore the bad. This stuff blows over. I am a Storm supporter. Apparently the Storm brand had to be put to the graveyard. Sharks will survive.
'Shattered' Flanagan suspended as crisis grows
Where is the proof this is killing our game? All this drama, publicity…it leads to more attention, more viewers. It increases the value of the game, bizarre, illogical, but the evidence of the past decade is clear..the game is getting stronger and stronger. Bad news sells…it sells its arse off.

Great idea for an article Puntpal.
Stats can be interesting but can also overcomplicate things. I used to stats for the Storm first grade and 20’s team. Dean Pay said it best when he said completion of sets is the only stat you need to win. Win that and u win the game.

I’m with db swannie, its too late, integrity is gone, had their chance to be honest during the tanking saga. There is only one thing worse when you do the wrong thing and that is lying about it.
Integrity unit could lose its integrity
Brilliant. Wonderful celebration of the game. Connects the community to game, song is fun & positive. I grew up on league in Canberra, now live in Melbourne and also love AFL, so not being biased when I say the AFL is behind in creating an advert like this. The EMF Unbelievable ad was sensational, not much to talk of since.
So John, take the lemon out of your mouth a bit and celebrate what is great about the ad. And you are way off the mark about Jessica’s passing. That is a left to right pass you are being critical about.

Sorry if someone has already questioned this, but what if Cronulla were making it up that they had a sponsor lined up?
Should NRL clubs sue the ACC for defamation?
The only rectangle that matters in the TV screen, that is how the game makes real money.

Doubt it that any player that isn’t representing their country will ever win the golden boot.

Storm hope Bellamy bound to NRL club
Three words David make this article rubbish.
Warnie isn’t fit.
He isn’t game fit. He is a promotional tool. You know it, but its easier to write about fantasy than put together a researched piece.
Don't write off a Shane Warne Test return just yet
Please everyone, think twice before commenting. David probably thinks he is successful when he writes an article that ignites a debate with hundreds of comments.
This is lazy work David. This is Women’s Weekly quality work.
Don't write off a Shane Warne Test return just yet
League and Union will merge back together one day….
Folau's move to rugby highlights NRL failings
Pretty sure clubs ban players from playing Touch over summer. It is a pretty dull game to watch even at the top level. I can watch top level touch but ‘the market’ would switch off far sooner.
How about an NRL touch rugby summer comp?
Gambling is a virus on our society. Keep your money in your pocket people, or spend it on something of value like flowers for your mum.

Another of the great things about the Bellamy coached Storm is that they have a wonderful reputation of fixing chinks in the armour. Gives Bellamy something to do…Chambers and O’Neill will fix this as well.
