Yes, this may be skewed by many games being played on clay

I don’t understand why this is brought up.

Clay is 1/3rd of the season.

Most players will only play one or two grass tournaments all year.

If anything, disproportionate success on grass should be viewed with skepticism because it’s a unique surface no conducive to good tennis.

Race for greatness: The case for Roger Federer

Stoinis shouldn’t be anywhere near our ODI team, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing him in the T20 side. I think bringing Maxwell, Marsh AND Stoinis back into the white ball squad was a step too far.

No problem with Marsh playing white ball cricket. He should never play another Test though.

Fan apathy for Stoinis shows growing understanding of T20 subtleties

I’ve never heard more excuses for a professional league.

What happens if they move the league to winter and playing they’re playing on suburban grounds?

If it’s not a sunny day keeping people away, it’s a rainy day.

Have we all just given up on the A-League?

Hobart will get a good group of young men who want to play footy and not indulge in off field activities.

The AFL at some point needs to tell these adults to suck it up if they don’t get drafted to their preferred destination.

Tasmania eyes AFL team by 2025: Report

If they don’t want to play in Hobart don’t nominate for the draft.

It’s like people who complain about being a FIFO.

Don’t work away. Problem solved.

Is sitting on a plane for 4 hours really that arduous?

Sandilands just retired at 36 after playing nearly 300 games. No-one would struggle on a plane more than he does yet played until 36 crossing the country every second week during the season.

Didn’t Pavlich play 350 games?

Mundy still playing?

I don’t think travel really is much of a factor.

Let’s get more creative with AFL fixturing

Bellerive is more than big enough for Hobart. Why doesn’t the AFL just buy the ground or come to some arrangement so the team isn’t held to ransom for rent.

The aim should be to just get 15k people to each game which is about double what the Suns and Giants get now.

This isn’t about making money. It’s about giving Tasmania the team they deserve, creating a pathway for Tasmania junior players.

The ‘Swannies’ style of footy has been a blight on the game on and off for many years. They are completely unwatchable right now.

Franklin contract too long.

Lopsided, top heavy list.

Predictable, unimaginative style of play that sucks the joy and creative spark out of players.

Needed a fresh start but re-signed Longmire until the end of 2023. Baffling that they would do something so reckless. As bad as the Lyon extension at Fremantle.

Midfield is looking thin with the losses of Neale and Hill.

Hogan doesn’t look interested in playing footy. He was supposed to be the missing piece up forward. They gave up a high first round draft for him too. I think Peter Bell didn’t listen to the advice he was getting.

Fyfe is a great player and enjoy watching him play, but he’s not a captain the players get behind. He’s approaching the end of his career. Now or never. I can’t see him suddenly becoming a great captain this late in his career.

I can’t see them cracking the top 8.

Lyon really did a number on them.

Fremantle 2020: The purple haze is clearing

They don’t understand that everyone else is just laughing at them. That is just embarrassing. It sounds out of tune.

What do you make of West Coast's new club song?

Nadal is a shadow of the player he was but was still number 1 in the world until a week ago.

Novak Djokovic: A champion like no other

Federer called a medical time out after losing the 4th set against Nadal in the 2017 AO final.

Federer didn’t sign any autographs when he was bundled out against Djokovic.

But they only get 50k max watching on ABC. That’s free to every Aussie last time I checked.

Reality you could give the A-League free to every Australian and no more than 50k would watch (and that’s a good audience).

Sponsors come and go, but Hyundai's reported FFA exit a symptom of greater ills

What can you say? No doubt will finish as the best player of the 21st century if not the GOAT.

If it finishes as it is now then Nadal is the best player this century.

Both Nadal and Djokovic dominate Federer. Nadal dominated Federer since he played him the first time at age 18. Extraordinary to beat the best player in the world at such a young age.

Tacky commercialism

That’s a real kick in the teeth from the ABC

The BBL has an even younger demographic but gets massive ratings.

He made some good points.

It’s not up to you to decide what should or should not be censored.

This isn’t a site that exists to simply promote the A-League. It’s here to allow us to discuss sport — positives and negatives included.

Reports: Hyundai to end A-League sponsorship

The A-League won’t be able to replace Hyundai though.

Reports: Hyundai to end A-League sponsorship

Great point. The A-League isn’t going to make much money targetting people watching the A-League on their phone while riding the bus or train.

He’s spent nearly 10 years in the AFL. What on Earth are you talking about?

Demons hand Harley Bennell AFL lifeline

I said last year that Essendon should get rid of him because he’s injury prone and just doesn’t produce.

I was right.

Essendon concedes Daniher may miss first half of season

Because it’s all relative. If 20k are watching A-League on Foxtel, and 400k are watching an AFL game on Foxtel, then it’s safe to say that Kayo ratings for AFL are 20x that of the A-League.
