Not their fault that they are the Number 2 team in their city!
Roy Hodgson's sacking a sign of the times
Before the series I predicted that Australia would win 3-1 and Doug Bollinger would be Man of the series. Turns out I was way off the mark.
Can you predict the Ashes result?
I made that list before that, but that is now #5. If England win and retain the Ashes, it will become Number 2!

I miss the good old days when I could easily take the piss out of English Cricket!
All I want for Christmas is Australia to win the Ashes
I think there should be a team in Hobart AND Launceston!
Where should the AFL expand from 2012?
What about all the suicides when Collingwood won the AFL flag?

The Top 10 Australian sporting moments of 2010
I actually started a forum about this on BigFooty (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?s=199d0a3856f9599312facadd5a4171cf&t=781259)
Personally I think the next expansion team should be Hobart (playing home games at Bellereve) which can be introduced as early as 2013 and wouldn’t need all the early draft picks and money that GC Suns and GWS needed. Later down the track I’d like to see another team based in Launceston (playing at Aurora Stadium). The derby between these two teams would be intense. I’d also like to either see North relocate to Ballarat or merge with the Western Bulldogs. If North Merge with the Dogs, then there could either be another team in Canberra, North Queensland, Darwin, Auckland or Wellington.
Where should the AFL expand from 2012?
Super 15 teams in Aus
Queensland Reds
New South Wales Waratahs
ACT Brumbies
Western Force
Melbourne Rebels.
Melbourne Rebels should be called Victoria Rebels IMO
The winners and losers from code expansion
It’s because GCU are a bunch of morons. Yes, I’m a Brissie boy but I have nothing against the Titans or the Suns (I might grow to hate them though) but I absolutely despise GCU!
Will free tickets cure the Gold Coast's woes?
Okay, I’m a person who loves to watch Australian Rules, Rugby League and the round ball game. Even though AFL is my fave form of football, I am open minded enough to understand that Soccer is the most important of them all and AFL is very unimportant by comparison.
For expansion after GC and GWS they should have a Hobart team and have Hawthorn continue playing home games at Launceston. Have North relocate to Ballarat and have another team at either Auckland, Canberra, Darwin or North Queensland.
What the AFL has to do to become king
North Melbourne should relocate to Ballarat. Hobart should be given a brand new team and have Hawthorn still playing home games in Launceston.
Don’t knock North for looking at Hobart
Hobart should get a new team and Hawthorn continue playing home games at Launceston. North Melbourne should relocate to Ballarat!
Hobart a great AFL venue, for the right club
AFL team in NZ could work with the right marketing campaign. I suggest ‘Beat the Aussies at their own game’
The Western Bulldogs in Wellington is a great idea
I think Hobart should have it’s own AFL team and have Hawks continue playing home games in Launceston and have another AFL team based in Auckland!
Does the AFL care about teams in Tasmania and Darwin?
Having GCU in the A-League makes me support Brisbane Roar more passionately!
The A-League fixture list is a confusing joke
I’d personally keep Haddin. Also along with dropping Johnson, also drop Hilfenhaus. Get McKay and Bollinger in.
