In the history of AFL drafts, none quite compare to the super draft of 2001.
Now that we have confirmation that the Tokyo Olympics have been postponed for roughly a year and will take place at the latest by summer 2021, I’ll have an attempt at predicting the 12-man roster that the Australian Boomers will take to Tokyo.
In the off-season of 2000 New England Patriots fortunes changed forever.
Since the Gold Coast Suns entered the AFL as the 17th team all the way back in 2011, it has been anything but a success.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the NBA, he is the reigning MVP and he is well on his way to going back-to-back in season 2019-20.
Nobody questions Nick Kyrgios’ talent on a tennis court, instead pointing to his lack of maturity as to why he isn’t sitting firmly inside the top ten.
The Philadelphia 76ers are a very good team that will win plenty of games while boasting two all-stars in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.
All the talk around the Western Conference in the NBA is about the two teams in LA and Houston, but it’s time to recognise what the Denver Nuggets are doing.
The NBL is a rising league in world ranks, with many pundits suggesting the NBL has grown to be just as good as any competition below the NBA.
The AFL trade period began on Monday October 7 and runs through until October 16, and these nine days can determine the future of your club. Find out what your team are aiming for and how the deals get done.
As the siren blew to end a memorable semi-final that saw the fairytale season of the Brisbane Lions end in heartbreak, all eyes moved to the 35-year-old veteran Luke Hodge to see whether he would be chaired off and draw the curtain on a wonderful career.
The AFL world went into meltdown on Thursday with news filtering through about the West Coast Eagles’ livewire forward Willie Rioli being flagged by ASADA for urine substitution.
Jeremy McGovern is the best contested grab in footy, since 2016 McGovern is far away in most contested marks – second in that time frame? Rory Lobb. Not saying Lobb is the best contested mark in footy but he’s in the discussion.

Been top 10 in contested marks per game every year since 2016, can’t really complain with that.

Fair to say due to the patriots dominance free agents didn’t want to join the other teams in the AFC East – why go to a team when the chances of winning your division is very slim? Definitely helps the disfunction from the Jets, Bills and Dolphins
We won't see another dynasty like Tom Brady and Bill Belichick
I can’t help but feel like Doncic is something special, putting up the numbers he is at such a young age screams future MVP
Luka Doncic is the best show in basketball
Agreed a few more veterans will only grow the NBL. Plenty of Free Agents over in America at the moment that would fit right into the NBL.
The NBL needs LaMelo Ball and RJ Hampton to succeed
Amazing how 1 good draft/trade period from a club that already had a decent list can propel them to a premiership.
