    A.F.L Thread

    Geelong flying! Thompson has made some good moves this year, surprisingly. One, he is actually picking the team on form and not reputation (no King, let's hope it is for good). Two, pace off the half back line (about bloody time he woke up). Three, back to using Ling as tagger and not a giant...

    Australia name 30-man WC squad

    The only players you could really see being rested would be Gilchrist and maybe Hayden but I expect both would enjoy the novelty of playing in a 20/20 WC before they finish up.

    ***Official*** English Domestic Season 2007

    I wish someone had picked up Hilfenhaus. He would be absolutely lethal in English conditions and it would be a great sighter for him for 09. Bailey has started relatively well for Scotland and Glamorgan have signed up Wright - I hope he doesn't come back bloody crocked again like last time he...

    Australia's 2007/08 Contract List

    With that list of players CA should seriously consider trimming the contracts to 20 IMO. Gillespie - Great servant of Australian cricket, and someone I prefer to see receive the financial rewards ahead of players picked on potential and very mediocre FC records, but let's face, he is behind...

    Is KP worthy of No.1 title?

    I don't know how the ranking system works and how far he is officially behind KP but Ponting was in rubbish form in Malayasia and heading into the champions trophy. I would take Ponting every time though, you only need to compare quotes from the Ashes. KP was happy after he holed out for 80...

    Socceroos and Australian Football

    Melbourne have just signed Matthew Kemp from Adelaide. They've really bolstered the back half looking toward the champs league - plenty of quality and depth defensively now. With Fred and Sarkies leaving they only have Thompson, Allsopp and Caceres as genuine attacking players left. I think...

    Socceroos and Australian Football

    Fred was contracted until the end of June I think. MLS started last week so DC United obviously wanted him over there straightaway. Melbourne did their chest beating in the media about not releasing him until the end of his contract before coming to the realisation he was not going to accept a...

    English sport in meltdown

    Warne and McGrath would be lucky to have played 15 FC games between them before they were selected for Australia. Following on from Brumby, the fixture congestion is crazy in England. In the AFL, coaches whinge like little bitches about having 6 day breaks between games. Fair enough it is a...

    South Africa - forever mouthy, forever failing to back it up. **** I hate them.

    *Official* Australian Domestic Season Thread

    I actually think we are better off producing a pitch with a bit in it for the bowlers. NSW's entire pace bowling attack is in the West Indies and with Hilfenhaus, Wright and Griffith (A bit of a risk if he is included, I don't think he has played post Christmas because of injury) we certainly...

    Socceroos and Australian Football

    28,937 is a great crowd for Melbourne considering they were up against 80,000 at the cricket, and leading into the finals, the game is only a dead rubber for the Victory.

    Clark out, Hilfenhaus in for Hobart? I hope so.

    Dighton 111 off 56 (Where's Shep when you need him) Bailey 41* off 19 Hilfenhaus 2/24 (4) The treble is still alive :p If they draft Hilfenhaus into the squad for Lee he will miss the final against the Vics, so if he does get the call he better not be left carrying the drinks :(
