    A.F.L. Thread II

    I don't think his value system aligned well with the Blues. They are a club that bought success and wants to play stylish football, like the bombers. They won't sacrifice some of that style for graft. The pies on the other hand seem to galvanize and put results at the forefront which got greater...

    Interesting that he goaded them to sack him early, I guess a decision in 2 weeks time was an embarrassing saga he wanted to avoid.

    "If McGrath doesn't step on that ball, we win the Ashes. Probably 5-0"

    Haydos is dreaming if he thinks we could have won 5-0. We might have draw/won the series though. On balance we were outplayed and really only Warne, self-belief and the ability of the lower order to scrap kept us in it.

    “The output of Jack Watts stats-wise is a lot greater than Naitanui’s if you take out hit-outs,” said Schwarz. I wonder if the Dees would take a swap then...ha ha

    A.F.L. Thread II

    I dismissed it as trash talk when a lot of cows fans said Hinkley would be weaker without Walsh in the box. Looks like they may be right. Tactically you wouldn't say the power have looked sharp this year whilst the adelaide game plan caught the competition off guard early on.

    Swans just too good. Maybe only Freo look like preventing a GF replay this year.

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    It's all set up nicely for the media. Neutral and England fans will enjoy trolling Strauss all summer if England lose and if they win he'll be lauded as a hardheaded genius who fixed the team culture and ushered in a brave new era...

    It's Tough Being Me - The Kevin Pietersen Story

    He has an unwavering self-belief/arrogance coupled with talent that few have that allows him to perform on the big occasions and will be sorely missed in the Ashes by England. Possibly the make-up of the current team, with a lack of senior established players with the maturity to deal with...

    What a debacle. At least any clubs thinking of a cutting-edge supplement regime will be put off for the foreseeable future.

    So this rebel cricket breakaway league...

    Throwing that kind of money at Clarke who as probably 2 years from retirement makes the concept seem suspect. Clearly getting Warner and Smith would be a huge statement but I don't see the idea filling a need the fans have or that the players from the stronger teams want (although for that kind...

    It seems like every year we expect the Tigers to go just that bit better but it is yet to occur.

    Great to see the Bulldogs stepping it up this year. Could be the Port of 2013 that bolts up the ladder.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    He thought the goal kicking in the GF was a symptom of the mucking around all year trying to see who could get the most assists between Mooney and co. and they lost the focus that was driven by a burning desire to win the GF the year before. On the big day their kicking fell to pieces as they...

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Bomber Thompson said the year after the cats won the flag they struggled with constancy of effort the next year and played only in patches at the elite intensity required to win a GF. Perhaps the Hawks are in the same boat now hoping they can flick the switch later in the year.
