Christo – the BBL contains some of the world’s best players. The A League is far below that in terms of player ability. So to even try to climb up that rung then A League should invest more in real marque’s. Probably need to target a player not so past it as Del Pierro was even – that will take a chunk of money.
How A-League clubs should spend Tony Sage’s predicted $80m windfall
Just on the opening paragraph Stuart. The Cameroon team antics did not fit that statement. A good article though – the rest of the world has some catching up to reach the standard of the US play. Aussies could learn by not changing coaches just as a tournament is about to start.
When you play like the USA, you can say whatever you want
a man that could chat with royalty or the garbo. what about when he ripped richard carlton a new a-hole on 7.30 report – “Richard – wipe that rat like smile off your face”. Richard almost burst into tears.
When Bob Hawke tipped me the Epsom
At Victory and Wellington, Ernie had a good start then flamed out. Same thing seems to be happening here.
If anyone knows what happened to the Jets, can they please tell Ernie Merrick?
On the shiekh – obtaining the facts is the hard part of determining what is happening with the princess.
On Weir – when a criminal finishes their time they are allowed back into society and the workplace.
On the stewards investigation of the others – i certainly agree.
Tough questions are lacking in the racing industry
spot on with this post AGO74
Japan is the template, but does our football culture allow us to follow it?
spot on with the neanderthals Post hoc. robbie slater personified.

we seem to rely heavily on launching crosses into the box. teams park the bus and have tall defenders. we should look to play more combinations in and around the box to break them down. and one other thing i would try is some bus parking of our own, draw teams out and hit them on the counter with the likes of mabil and leckie – that is what we are forced to do when we get to world cup.
Australia's Asian Cup defence comes to a bitter end
Yes Muscat was definitely a thug. He was also a pretty good player and I think he has done well as a coach. I don’t think his record as a player will mean he never progresses in coaching – i think his record in coaching will determine how far he progresses.
Kevin Muscat and Mark Rudan have put Australia's coaching potential on centre stage
i am with you post hoc. $1.40 is nothing today.
Where does all the money football generates actually go?
i am with you on that James H – we certainly created opportunities but do not have the skill to finish them
Football in Australia is in desperate need of change
mark – you are spot on here. maybe we bring Ange back when we have players that have more technical ability which i think is our biggest problem at the moment. we should study belgium’s rise – they developed players and as a result their world ranking increased and did it over a relatively short time period.

vin – i assume that you are saying that under the curriculum that kids are not allowed to express themselves individually. i do not think that your assertion is correct in that respect.

Yes – football is the only truly world game and no other code can come close to that worldly reach. There are many leagues and matches to watch all week – hence the A League struggles with that sort of competition for local followers. We just need to keep growing by investing money wisely in our marquees to slowly lift interest – it will be a slow and, at times, difficult slog but the game will eventually triumph due to its world reach. Look back at the progress since the A League commenced and you can see progress over time.
Riley McGree's wonder goal proves no sport can match football on the world stage
Stuart – i too share the heavy heart of Stevo. Timewasting is not part of the spirit of the game in my opinion and should not be encouraged. Setting up to be very defensive is a tactic that you may wish to execute. Having coached a side with 9 players in one instance i set up to defend narrowly rather than park the bus – somehow we managed to win the game. I would agree with Stevo on attacking as a better tactic.
To 'park the bus' or not 'park the bus'. That is the question
William Hill are masters of the banning. Offer promotions and when you win consistently they ban you.
Victorian minimum betting framework doesn't give punters a fair go
terrific article. I have never liked Sydney and have not been a fan of goodes. However he won 2 brownlows so must be a decent player. hayden ballantyne is probably the most disliked player in the game but he does not cop the booing that goodes gets. In my view it is mass bullying.
Adam Goodes story comes back to one question: Why?
i might be a cynic. every time someone has a book release coming up they generate some media interest by getting one controversial issue highlighted so everyone talks about it and hopefully book sales get boosted.
Reflecting on the Alex McKinnon interview
definitely supply and demand. sponsors won’t throw money at a sport unless they reckon they can get some sort of return. not as many people want to watch womens sport therefore not as much sponsorship and $ are in it. it is why brad pitt gets more money for a film than say nick nolte – more people want to watch brad.
Matildas undervalued by billionaire
Here are my thoughts:
– packed crowds – I am not sure this is the case when the cameras pan
– diving, cheating etc – cannot agree more that this is a purer form of the game that the men should admire
– goalkeeping and general defending – pretty amateurish
– spectacle – i don’t mind watching but it ranks second to the mens game
If only the men played like the women
David – you were beaten to the punch on this topic about 2 weeks ago by a Roar Rookie. I hope you have not been plagiarising!
Is Thurston the greatest ever Australian rugby league halfback?
Spot on GPH1980. Thurston is streets ahead and by the time he finishes he may almost rise to King Wally status.

spot on Len. Hawks took it too easy especially when they hit the lead in 4th quarter and tried to play too cute. they also may have read too much of their own press during the week. clarkson will give them some curry this week.
Last-gasp Bombers shock Hawthorn
Stuart – we need much more than a catchy song i am afraid.
