    A.F.L. Thread II

    Meh, we've won a lot of games of footy in that time and been in the finals regularly. Obviously we haven't won a flag, and it would be lovely to be able to say that we had, but I find it hard to be too disappointed about having a decent team that has generally put in 100% out on the park and...

    It is nice seeing a couple of the harmless clubs like North and the Dees doing well.

    To be somewhat conciliatory after indulging in a bit of Bay 13 stuff recently Zac, I was impressed with Rattan tonight on the telly, he came across pretty well I thought. Will be interesting to see whether Warnock can stand up and deliver on the tidy sum he's being paid in coming weeks.

    tbf, I enjoyed the ten minutes of bagging out Carlton. In a week when the Pies aren't playing, you take what you can get. Hadn't seen the Judd elbow on Pavlich incident. Juddy pretty lucky to be playing next week I'd suggest.

    Too bad for Burton that he ended up being hounded out by injury. Was a spectacular player.

    On the wooden spoon bets, most people probably 'reinvested' on things that had longer odds than someone having a worse season than the Tiges.

    Calm down Cass, was tongue in cheek. And besides, I thought that as a Pies fan, the consensus here was tha I wasn't a decent human being anyway ;)

    Word is that Kreuzer will need a full knee reco - so that's 12 months before he's back, and a couple of years before he's fully fit and confident again. Feel bad for him, but a bit of karma for the clubs that tanked trying to get him?

    He's been about a 100% better player since they gave him the captain's gig tbf.

    Kreuzer done a knee seemingly? Only saw a few seconds of the talking heads after the match, but they seemed to be saying that the Telstra Dome surface might be the culprit again? It looked like Judd went over on an ankle for the same reason in the couple of clips they were playing while...

    Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

    Tough one. I'd vote for Slater over almost anyone else. His dickheadness on occasion is balanced out by his courage in admitting to his mistakes and coming out and detailing what was going on with him at the time. But Gilchrist for mine. A total class act in all respects. The random draw...

    2009 aside, one of his problems has been that he's rarely had any middle ground. He's either been great, or he's had absolute horrors. He's not fit enough to play in the midfield like he has been in the last couple of years, and he's actually not much good as a small goal sneak when there are...

    fmd, what a painful display from the Pies yesterday. To take nothing away from Melbourne, who are obviously a helluva a lot better than they were last year, and deserved to win given how we played, that was embarressing. I don't generally turn on the boys when they don't win, but jeez I was...

    Opinion on Scrapping the 50 Over Format?

    No way. Keep it. It's fine as it is. The way forward for the game is not to cannibalise itself.

    A quick scan of the GCFC website suggests a few things: a) I've seen a better looking collection of heads left over on the prawn platter last Xmas b) they have some ripper names, including this bloke - "what, you're mother didn't like you?" - who's now my new cult favourite. c) At the age of 24...

    THey should, in theory, improve a lot more in the space of 20-odd games than most lists would, given the higher than normal preponderance of kids in their list.

    You chuck Gary Ablett and a few other guys currently on other AFL lists at the moment into the team and they'll improve a heap.
