AFL 2013 season preview: part II
Wow Lroy love your predictions. Im certain it will be Swans, Hawks, Pies, Eagles top four, with Dockers an outside chance for fourth. You can name about 6 other teams for the remainder of the 8. It will come down to who gets injured.

To make it work it needs to be on free to air TV and played Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. At the moment it’s a struggle to work out when they are playing or remember the set dates. Nothing wrong with 20 20 or the teams on the paddock. I love them all!
Big Bash League must change before expanding
It needs to be played at the best cricket ground on the planet, the MCG!
Melbourne deserves to host the 2015 Cricket World Cup final

Hi Kellett_1992
I apologize, I should have given a more detailed explanation.
Thinking outside the box for a second. Google provides you with Google TV, mail, shopping, books etc. It’s not just a search engine. Its a lot more and growing. You also have a lot of smart TVs, ipads, iphones coming onto the market which will eventually lead to People watching more and more sporting events on line, not just through the traditional TV station as we have seen with Telstra’s mobile coverage of AFL and the NRL. So where do the advertises spend their money?? Which games will provide more bang for your buck? Ask Google.
And you are right. The fans know the web address of their club. So who or why are people googling these names? Do fans google their clubs name for news that is already on their website or are they searching for additional information or news?
That’s why this data is important.

Agree. If you follow AFL are you not correct in saying that you call it footy? I never said, if you follow Rugby, that you refer to it as footy. However in saying that how often is the ball kicked in Rugby League? Hardley often enough to call it football. Throwball would be a better name.
Where no American has gone before
Shae, I actually mentioned you in the origional version of this article. They have taken it out for some reason. Just for you Shae, this is they cut out, . “To the American that was almost the one, Shae McNamara. Start a kicking program for American High Schoolers, you could make a fortune. ”
And just a side note Alex Starling was cut from the Swans, he has injury troubles. I’m hoping he makes a come back at some point. I’m hoping they don’t censor this comment.
Where no American has gone before
Ok, maybe I should have said that he is a good player who had a great game in the GF. Surely you can’t disagree on that.
Where no American has gone before
I agree. I would put my money on a basketballer before Mike Pyke. And Mike is now a great player. Surely the Big E can be even bigger.

OMG constant rule changes do my head in. AFL please leave it alone.
Should the AFL stop changing the rules?
Hi Andy,
Thanks to The Wookie for providing the article on buddy. I found it hard to believe myself. I do my best to research everything. But the comments on the Draw cards are based more on the things that players like Natanui, Buddy and Majak do in a game to really make you go Wow this is an awesome game to watch. I could have mentioned a lot more players but to me these three standout. Plugger is my all time favourite and I could also mention Winmar, Carey and many more. What I would really love to see is one of the American blokes get a shot. I love the fact that the Swans have taken a shot with Alex Starling and I think Collingwood are the only other club smart enough to take a chance on Eric Wallace. Collingwoods recruiting has been brilliant over trade week and they would top it off by putting Eric on their Rookie list.
AFL's next Buddy sits by the phone
I agree, the Saint have lost their way. Saints
will take the wooden spoon in 2014. Scott will not have a job by July.
