To be fair Cleary is the best Half Back in the NRL. Tedesco looks cooked at rep level though. Get Walsh into a green and Gold ASAP.
KangaMaroons: Only a handful of Blues worthy of Test selection after Queensland’s Origin obliteration
I can’t understand why the players aren’t striking over this? The fans hate the best players getting suspended for tackles, the players want to play, the coaches want them to tackle so why isn’t there a strike? Weak as water.
Nothing but propaganda: AFL showing pathetic leadership failure on the tackle issue
Kaufusi will absolutely play. First picked.
Origin II predicted teams: Fittler fuming over Api's bad break as judiciary makes Tino call, another Blues hopeful goes down
It would be even easier to just make football acts legal again, to get suspended for a tackle is the silliest thing i have ever seen, bumps too, they are legal acts. Then the Brownlow can stay the same, i personally have loved recent rule changes, 666 and stand have improved the game, just like 50m penalty’s did but removing bumps and tackles is the worst and the removal of bumps is actually making the junior game more dangerous.
TOM MORRIS: The immediate change AFL must make to save Brownlow Medal from embarrassment
This is the best piece of tanking i have ever seen, great stuff.
EXPLAINED: Incredibly rare interchange breach breaks North Melbourne hearts - here's why it was paid
There is no way the afl would have hot heads like Scott and Hardwick at the suns, they would love Hinkley though, a man manager and tactician he is perfect for the Suns.
TOM MORRIS: What the Damien Hardwick bombshell means for the AFL coaching landscape
This could be the worst article I have even read. A usually very good writer but this is some knuckle dragging stuff. We can absolutely sustain 20 teams, with more development comes more players, plus don’t forget the western suburbs of Melbourne and the bush have been harshly done by in the promotion of aps school footy in Melbourne above the NAB league. We have plenty of players for 20 teams.
The Suns are very very successful, they just don’t win much. Footy on the GC has exploded and the city has actually run out of ovals, I live here and footy runs fri night then all day day and sun on every over in the city.
GWS on the other hand are not, no uptake in players in western Sydney. The drive in drive out players are not loved there. They SHOULD be moved to Canberra asap. Then a cairns based team that plays half its games in Darwin and some away games in Alice.
Also the fact clubs like the suns and north get stuck down the bottom is due to the inability of clubs to trade in contract players without consent. This is a joke and needs to be fixed, re-builds would be much faster if this rule changed.
Welcome Tasmania, but the AFL should be a 16-team competition so three clubs must go
Whenever talking about the suns it’s good to remind everyone that Southport Sharks wanted the license, a club with a board, members and revenue streams, it’s own ground on the tram line 2 stops from the CBD and 4 stops from surfers. All the afl had to give up was control.
As such we have the suns because the AFL feared a port power/collingwood on the north.
We are stuck with the suns now and it’s amazing the amount of kids who lay on the coast now including my boys. Basically the GC has run out of footy grounds as games are played all day Saturday and Sunday and Friday nights to fit all the fixtures in, so it is working (unlike GWS which should move to Canberra)
The suns do have a path out if this, you need to draft kids who will move to a better place, ie kids from the western suburbs like Can Rayner and Touk, country kids line Mc luggage and Adelaide kids like Luciciaus.
Drafting APS leafy Eastern suburbs kids is a guaranteed way to create go home factor. King, Scrimshaw, Lynch etc.
Enough talking, it's time for the Suns to shine
To be fair we didn’t have our best player in Merrett, if they didnt have Daicos maybe we win? Who knows, doesn’t matter. It was a good performance against an elite team. I used to hate the pies growing up but I have learned to respect them over time, as I understand business etc now it tends to be the drains on the comp that I hate these days.
Three areas from Essendon’s Anzac Day clash that need to be inspected for the rest of the season
I’m over it now, it wicked on the day but we
Lost to a better team, fair enough.
The thing with Daicos and all the other young kids coming through is there is no chance they will get shirtfronted, so they have no fear, what can you actually do to stop him? Can’t tackle him hard, can’t bump him, can’t give him a quick one under the ribs and he runs too well to be tagged. Someone will wack him in a final if it keeps going on though.
Footy Fix: Someone, please, just lay a hand on Nick Daicos. Anyone. Please
How good is footy? I feel like its 2004 again!
Is it really happening? Could St Kilda and Essendon finally be legitimate contenders?
The roof must take away any home ground advantage that could be built in the cold windy conditions. Have the training base and living in Hobart plus 5 home games then 6 home games at York park. Not sure what happens with gather round when we have a bye.
Is a new stadium a necessity for Tasmania's AFL inclusion, or are there existing alternatives that would work?
They dont know, she ran off with the plumber when they were 10.
The only team that can stop arrogant Panthers from three-peat is themselves
Ive never understood the “more distractions on the GC” thing, i have lived in Geelong and the GC, the nightclubs are open longer in Geelong than on the GC.
The allure of love and home will always haunt Melbourne Storm
Last year we were the most exiting team in the comp, never any chance of a flag but it was fun. This year we are slow and boring. Like a Buckley pies team or anything With Ross Lyon in or around it.
We need Chocco ASAP.
AFL Friday Footy Fix: 'Effort without system' sums up Dons, and what was up with those 150th anniversary celebrations?
I don’t agree with all this but unfortunately this is not just a problem with the afl but Australia in general. We are as a people rule makers. We never seem to take any away. The best thing that can happen to the AFL will be big USA tv players getting some rights. They will push the barrow for what rates. Bumps tackles and goals. It’s our only hope.
The incredible weight of terrible umpiring
Could be worse, imagine winning a flag, being undefeated and still not beating able to get 40,000 people to a game.
The Bombers' big problem? Their midfield is too small and too soft
With the racism is it really a shock? I think we would all be in multiple group chats, in those chats the eastern suburbs aps boys are by far the most racist. Yet as a comp all the managers, administrators and commentators either go to or or send there kids to These places and live in those suburbs. Then we have the afl policy of ranking aps school footy above its own nab league. This hampers western and northwest kids from making it, yes there will be the odd Cam Rayner but it’s the second and third round where the aps boys get all slots. Yet the crowd favourite players are very often not these players.
It needs to change asap.
Six Points: Every club needs its own 'Do Better' report, and pantomime villains make the game better, Kane
The lack of a “home” is one of the biggest issues in afl. The NRL has realised this and is investing in suburban grounds. Going to a Melbourne sides away or home game kinda eels the same and it should. The cats and the interstate teams have such an advantage in that regard.
What's in a name when it comes to sporting clubs?
I had such a great and relaxing summer, then half way through the second quarter my wife looked at me and said “guess footys back” I felt terrible. When your a bomber and you met your wife in 2004 it’s not fun.
Round 1 losers already under the blowtorch
I think like all footy fans I love Robbie Gray, that knee looked a worry, hopefully he is ok even though we might end up playing them.
'Finals pressure's different:' Four talking points as Hinkley masterstroke cuts down Cats
I agree Clarko would be perfect up here but can we please stop with the rugby heart land stuff? The Gold Coast has more afl clubs than rugby and rugby league clubs combined. Has for years. The highest ranking club on the coast ran by Gold Coasters is southport who are second in the VFL.
Clark-Sun? A move to the Gold Coast would make perfect sense for Alastair and the AFL
Ill see you back here next week. Hey didnt the dogs lose to the Saints this time last year?

Harry Jones heading to the surgeon which is a shame, Langford wont play, tipper will. I cant wait, our % is strong which shows we are a decent side. Lids off brother! Also i said we would make the finals at the start of the year!
