    AFL 1997-Present: Non-key Backs

    Don't see how you can go past Andrew McLeod or Gavin Wanganeen, and yet can't believe I'm not voting for Glenn Archer, or slightly more indulgently Jimmy Clement.

    AFL 1997-Present: Non-key Backs

    This category is an absolute ****-fight. Some amazing players are going to miss out on selection in this category. Select just TWO at this stage. Non-Key Backs 1. Andrew McKay. Carlton. 1993-2003 244 games. 16.2 disposals per match. Premiership 1995. All Australian 1993, 1999, 2000...

    AFL 1997-Present: Non-key Forwards

    Aker and Steve Johnson for mine. Jarman's timeframe just counted against him vs Akermanis, and Steve Johnson is just in ahead of Farmer or Matera. Hurts me not to vote for either Didak or Medhurst in this one.

    AFL 1997-Present: Non-key Forwards

    We're looking for TWO people off this list. Non Key Forwards: 1. Alan Didak. Collingwood. 2001-Present 145 games. 206 goals (1.4pm). All Australian 2006. Collingwood B&F 2006. 2. Brad Johnson. Bulldogs. 1994-Present 336 games. 533 goals (1.6 pm). 4 time All Australian (2000, 2005, 06...

    2 Tier test system

    Would be for that idea. Don't think it could be a full time thing, but at least one tour a year from an 'A' team from each the top countries of an associate to play 5 day matches (call them FC, or International 'A' matches) would provide something for the associates to hang their hats on...

    2 Tier test system

    So just be because maladministration of the game means we're stuck with one or two (depending on where Zimbabwe sits any given season) making a mockery of international cricket, we should just take the plunge and let another three worse teams join in? Trying to in effect reduce the number of...

    A.F.L Thread

    @HDS's question re Hawthorn playing so bad with such good players. A lot of those players are playing sore or are short on fitness. An injury free season, and even on top of that an uninterrupted preseason iscwhat generally separates a team from being in the general ruck to scrape into the 8...

    A.F.L Thread

    Beams is likely the kid they'll take from the Pies. He refused a three year deal in favour of a two to be available at the end of 2010, being from the GC originally. Hopefully we're right in the mix for a flag around then and this tempts him to stay, because he looks a quality kid so far. Freo...

    2 Tier test system

    One thing people have said a few times that makes no sense to me is that for a team in tier one that is struggling, going down to tier one will give them a chance to get their act together and improve. Surely the reverse would occur in all the countries that are likely to face such relegation...

    2 Tier test system

    For those saying that Bangladesh having test status undermines the argument for not letting teams like Ireland play tests, there's a simple solution to that, and it doesn't involve extending the number of test nations. Surely there's enough evidence by now to say that giving Bangers test status...

    I don't think Elliott admitted to covering up five whole years' worth. :unsure:

    this is not the greatest team in the world. This is just a tribute.

    2 Tier test system

    That ceiling is imposed by the fairly concrete difference in quality, as opposed to being glass. Don't see the benefit of devaluing what should be the sport's premier level of competition.

    AFL Team - 1997-Present

    Well I think the assumption here is that this hypothetical team played, they would, unlike the Super Series XI, they would have the chance to play together enough to gel together, and would actually care. But anyway, good to see that you've grasped the point of these sorts of hypothetical teams. 8-)

    Now watching Sharapova play what appears to be her uglier stunt double, muted of course.
