yeah agreed will want to chase success elsewhere.

Young Suns shine bright

Many say the suns are just making up the numbers and they are the only team in the AFL not to make the finals. Any win the suns get against a potential contender is massive

Don’t think its a full-time prospect but we have recently seen Dusty and Fyfe move forward. With shorter quarters might be maybe 5 mins up forward and 10 in the fire.

Why Geelong should move Danger up forward

Imad Wasim has often been overlooked – but I agree he is a lock

Who should be in Pakistan's squad for the T20 World Cup?

Yeah just provides another option up forward and a bit of a chop out for Lynch and Soldo in respective roles

How to solve Richmond's ruck dilemma

just a different take on the situation. 👍

How to solve Richmond's ruck dilemma

Plenty of initiative was probably the key factor in seeing the resumption of the tournament – but surely a step in the right direction

What the AFL can learn from the NRL

Yeah I agree, love seeing Dusty and Danger play up forward for the rest they are looking for . how low can we go 50 a game – 10 or so a quarter?

What the AFL can learn from the NRL

The noise at times was often over the top, but yeah the speed of the game limits one umpire in AFL. Stoppages are the major concerns.

What the AFL can learn from the NRL

Yeah agreed in a much bigger hole financially than the AFL, but to come back and still put on a decent showing is respectable.

Strong steps in the face of backlash,

Andrew the analysis of Johns and Kewell are more than valid I agree but they lacked the dominance of success over a sustained amount of time. Ablett Snr is a star but lacked the leadership that Smith and Waugh show time and time again.

Which Aussie icon compares to Michael Jordan?

I agree the 10 on a court for basketball does make it easier to excel, But what Jordan did captivate people and brought people’s eyes to the screen to see Jordan, Ablett Snr was a remarkable athlete and his efforts in the 89′ grand final were something else.

Which Aussie icon compares to Michael Jordan?

One of the greatest trophies in modern-day sport, Provan is probably didn’t get the international recondition that’s he deserved but a legend none the less .

Which Aussie icon compares to Michael Jordan?

Mckay and Lindrum both exceptional athletes, does cause more of a debate on the individual vs in a team sport like basketball or cricket. The article highlighted Jordan’s ability to excel and lift his team, Unfortunately, I couldn’t make those comments about Lindrum or Mckay, But well worth a separate article on their individual performances.

Which Aussie icon compares to Michael Jordan?

The article was based on Australians , sure pele would be a great argument for the greatest athlete of all time ⚽

Which Aussie icon compares to Michael Jordan?

Thanks for your comment Paul 👍

Which Aussie icon compares to Michael Jordan?

Yeah physically elite and took to NFL like a duck to water, Shame he wasn’t given more of a chance

Which Aussie icon compares to Michael Jordan?

She was a star and very underrated due to the fact that she played squash. The list is very current with the inclusion of Perry

Seeing double: Who are the best multi-sport athletes?

The lesser-known incarcerated tigers.

Dustin Martin: Tiger king

You are correct JGK but I used sanders as an example cause he played the two sports simultaneously. Jackson played the two sports at different times of the year. You are correct Booth and Miller could have both been included in the article. I went with the more familiar ones and the superstar in Perry . I could have included O’Donnell, Mundine the list goes on.

Seeing double: Who are the best multi-sport athletes?

Yes Izzy Folau probably didn’t excel in AFL as much as he would have liked . But a dual sportsman none the less .

Seeing double: Who are the best multi-sport athletes?

Yeah absolute Swan and Pendles have a great game sense and are no doubt stars ????

Dustin Martin: Tiger king

Yes the players on the list spanned this century and the last

Dustin Martin: Tiger king

There are so many facets of his game that are underrated and unfortunately there are no stats for being unselfish
