Eagles skipper Darren Glass retires
Great article. Made me think of who I admired when I was that age. Hope he enjoy’s Morabito’s comeback, whenever it happens, good on him for sticking with him.
My faith in sport has been restored by an eight-year-old
Tom, I can understand that you disagree. I’m just saying that it played a part, not a major one.
However, saying that I read articles from only one journalist in a manner that was not critical, that’s untrue. As you said, basing views on speculation and guesswork is never a good idea.
Thanks for voicing your opinion, I appreciate it.
There’s some light at the end of the tunnel for the Lions
Well we’ll never know how good those five could have been for Brisbane, but Polec, Longer and Karnezis weren’t playing much last year. Polec played one game from memory. Perhaps their reasoning was that they had been overtaken by others at the club, or maybe they were unhappy with their role at the club and thought that they could potentially develop more elsewhere. That’s just my thoughts, and it’s all speculation.
Forgive me, I’m not well versed in the Courier-Mail or the intricacies of the Springfield development, I can only go off what I read from those articles.

True, but then it’s also based on their salaries as to whether they’re restricted or unrestricted.

Well the AFL seem to want him there, he’s not well liked by Brisbane fans though. However, now that he’s ignored what the AFL have suggested their position may change.
I should add that I know there are a number of factors influencing players when they “go home”, and I don’t mean to have “blithely ascribed” it to recruiting and development. It’s not due solely to this but it would be hard to say that it plays no part.

Thanks. That’s my mistake in that article, but take a look at my response to SportsFanGC at the bottom.

Thanks, I had actually done some research. Let me add however that the article should read “…potential free agent at the end of his contract…”. That’s an error on my part. At the end of their contracts Rich will 26, Redden 25, Rockliff 27, Leuenberger 28, Zorko 28, Mayes 22. Darcy Gardiner, Lewis Taylor and James Aish all finish their contracts at the end of next year when they will be 20. So, once all of these have expired, you would think Rich, Redden, Rocky, Mayes, and the three draftees from last year if they keep their current form up, to all be looked at by oppositon clubs in some detail. I for one hope they all stay.

That game might have surprised a few of you by the looks of it.
The Eagles have no choice but to beat Collingwood
1. Simon Black – phenomenal player and person
2. Ben Cousins (on the field)
3. Daniel Kerr
4. Matthew Pavlich
5. Glenn Archer
Who are your five all-time Aussie rules heroes?
You lost me at “Dermott Brereton is probably one of the best commentators on there”.
Commentary is a very subjective thing, you either like it or you don’t. Saying one channel’s commentary is “disgusting” isn’t a great way to start because some people, me for instance, prefer Dennis and Bruce over Dunstall, Russell and Brereton. It’s a personal opinion.
Who deserves to broadcast the AFL?
I’d gladly take Parker at the Eagles. Anything about Harry Marsh?
The Swans have picked a gem in Luke Parker
Great question to ask. I’d have to agree and say Geelong, very marginally, over West Coast, Brisbane and Sydney equal third.
Which has been the most successful club of the AFL era?
Great article. I guess I’m like many people in that I never used to like Port and took much joy in them sinking low. But now, I can’t help but be impressed by them and I enjoy watching them. The test for them will be whether they can keep this form up for the whole year, and I certainly hope they do.
Are we making enough fuss about Port Adelaide?
Would highly recommend Bigfooty, lots of like minded individuals.
The West Coast Eagles need an A-grade midfielder
Bit harsh on them I reckon. I think it’s good – let them show their credentials over the second half of the season, see who steps up, and pick them. Selwood’s my bet.
