Hey all, So I stopped playing tennis a few years ago due to physical limitations, but have recently discovered Pickleball! Any other players here? For of those of you who haven't heard of it, firstly it's one of the fastest growing sports in the world and the fastest growing in the US...

So I was watching the Adelaide/Geelong game yesterday with my 5yo son who is just starting to love footy, A Geelong player kicked the ball OOTF and was set upon by a Adelaide player with a heap of bumps and basically punches in the arm. My son asked "why is he punching him Dad?" It is time to...

This year I have created a spreadsheet for the first time for my planning, and I was just wondering who else does, what is in your spreadsheet or what else do you use? My spreadsheet simply has the players I might have in my team, their priced @ avg, expected avg, then I move the expected avg...

So with the ICC naming the best cricketers in each game format, it got me thinking about the AFL version. So who is your best of the decade in the following categories; Forward Midfielder Ruck Defender And then best player of the decade Mine would be Buddy Pendlebury Gawn McGovern And...

So I thought this needed it's own thread.... What happens now? Let's assume (but I doubt it) that players get back on the park in June do we.... - Keep rd 1 scores and two trades between now and June - Keep rd 1 scores but more (maybe 6) trades - Start again completely I'm actually a fan of...

So has anyone been following this?? Google his name and you'll see the vids. I'll leave me opinion until others have commented, but let's just say...$60k profit in a year playing 1/3 @ $800 an hour 😯😯

With 2/3 coaching jobs up for grabs and teams ultimately looking for a coach to take them to a flag, I thought this was an interesting statistic. This century (19 premierships) there have only been 2 recycled coaches to win a flag, Leigh Matthews and Mick Malthouse. There have been 11 coaches...

Thought this might be worthy of a thread.... So this week my two decisions are... Clark or Scrimshaw, one on the field and one emergency. Stick with Walsh and Scott on the field or swap one with Constable?

OK, wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll start with the friendly folk :) Making my 2nd 5 day trip to Melbourne next year to watch footy and play some poker ;) Last year was my first ever visit to the G and Docklands, it was bloody awesome although WC got done by Collingwood sucked. Sucked...

Just been de-listed by the saints. Surely gets a chance elsewhere? Highly rated in his draft year from memory,.

With pick 1 being so highly regarded, double points from pick 10 and 500 more than pick 2, who do you actually think is worth pick one if more? Let's say it's an average draft year and the player is contracted but has requested a trade to any club? I don't think it's that many.... Cripps...

So currently GC have a top 5 pick and an end of first rd, plus (if they don't match) another first for Lynch and an early 2nd for Hall. So this year they could have picks 5, 6, 18, 24, 28 plus the Hall pick. Now I can't see them wanting that much youth when you would think they need some...

Time for a thread I think. I got hammered last year so want to gain spots through the bye this year. Currently have the following players in each bye round. 12 - 7 13 - 11 14 - 12 But by bringing in Port players after their bye and a couple of lead up trades I plan to hit the bye with the...

IMHO this year seems to have plenty of options as far as structure e.g.. I've had 4-6 premiums in my mids, 1-4 I'm my backline and 0-3 in my fwd's. So... P = Premium price UP = under priced or fallen premium MP = mid pricer ER = expensive rookie ($200k-$300k) R = rookie under $200k How's...

With Melbourne's ruck issues and how clubs don't want to have more than 3/4 rucks on a list now days, is it time too look at a mid season draft? Something like - picked in bottom to top ladder order at the time, let's way rd.11 - every club has to use 2 picks - every club must start the season...

Surprising no thread for this yet... Stevens >> Oliver Smith (melb/inj) >> McGrath Leaves me with $170k, got to find ways to have $$ this time of the season. Plus Mcgrath plays over Hampton so I think this will end up being about 20 points a week better.

Not 100% sure but i thought this year you could only take the number of picks into the draft that you have player spots on your main list? GWS have 11 picks in the 1st 4 rounds, surely they don't have 11 spots on their list?

Had an interesting thought while listening to Richmond get flogged that they possibly have the least amount of players that could attract a 1st round pick in a trade. I think this is a pretty good way to look at a list. I reckon Richmond only have 6, Riewoldt, Rance, Martin, Cotchin, Houli...

Firstly would like to say that the MASSIVE elephant in the room in this whole tanking debate is that in my opinion a club is doing its self and supporters a disservice in not tanking!! The simple facts are that there are zero benefits in winning the last couple of games and massive benefits in...

For his hit on Hil. I know there was know free given (definately should of been a free) but Hill was pretty much on his arse from another contest and Jack came through with a hip and shoulder and made forcefull contact with Hill's head. Quite surprised the commentators didn't make more of it...

Seeing there is a thread already on young guns we could look to draft we probably should probably have one on players that could be delisted to match. In all honesty I thought it was difficult last year to find 3 players that could be delisted or retire but this year it's got to be harder...

Now this may just be me and not seeing footy for a few months but are the umps VERY quick to pay HTB in th NAB this year? I don't remember any rules changes for this year regarding HTB but the umps have been vicious on it. Look at Webberly at 14:10 here...

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I thought I'd have a quick look at next weeks TV guide for Tassie and no NAB Cup on FTA :eek: So I go to the AFL's (terrible) website and on their 'viewing guide' it says that every NAB match is on Fox only. Is this true? If so it's pretty...

Players are leading with their knee in marking contests and one of these days someone is going to get hit hard enough and in the wrong place and it's going to kill them. Why is the head so sacred in our game when the ball is on the ground but not when it is in the air?? Today Stevie J...

So with the top four set (Hawks and Geeloing can swap places but makes no difference, great planning AFL!) and the bottom 4 of the 8 set apart from position, how many teams are going to rest the majority of stars?? I know many teams say they want their best team on the park leading upto finals...

I know most think it's 50/50 between Heppell and Shuey but was thinking this morning, when has a key position forward had the sort of impact that Darling has had this year?? Sure Heppell and Shuey have been fantastic but they are playing in the more tradional positions that attract more...

So most of us in agreement that this season, and inparticular the last 4-5 weeks, has probably seen some of the worst umpiring performances in the leagues history. So what can we do about it?? Sending emails to The AFL is pointless, I have sent about 5 this season about this issue and others...

Launceston FC 2011 - thoughts Hey guys, Been living in WA for 8 years and just got home so thought I'd head down to see the boys play South Launceston on Sunday. All I ca say is wow, they play some great football. Sure it wasn't against the best team going around but it was blowing a...

Anyone else noticing that when he gets the ball up the ground a bit he takes the game on, has pace and a tank, breaks tackles brilliantly, delivers and reads the play pretty well too!! At 196cm he would be a bugger to match up on and has shown he can take a good mark and lead to space so would...

Has anyone had a play with this?? Reasonably interesting as you can set a 2/6/10 goal or 100 point win. I've just gone through and worked out my final ladder on current form, quite interesting Team/percentage/points Collingwood 150 84 Geelong 138 84 Carlton 122 74 Hawthorn 125 68 West...
