Exactly!!!!! Its unbelievable when you think about it. Even if Dank has done nothing wrong from a legal perspective his poor industry must have lost a lot of respect for failing to show any real benefit for clubs who want to spend all the extra money.

Some big games tonight - would love to be going to the SCG to see the Swans / Cats game. I hope the howling wind does not ruin the spectacle.

I agree the whole saga with the Dees is depressing and disturbing especially if they were given performance drugs, should have given them Party drugs instead, worked for cousin Benny and Co...
If they loose this week, goodbye Neeldy, although being a scapegoat is shameful, hopefully a clean out of the management that has organized the last 6+ years of rebuilding can happen as well...
Some great games this week Simondo, sorry the swans I'm tipp'n against your beloveds and PUP its not to late to embrace the AFL...trust me, it will improve your libido...

Top 8 is already pretty settled, to a point.
Tigers, Port, Blues, Roos and Crows are the teams with the pressure to perform, hold their nerve, and earn their finals spot.

Bombers, Hawks, Pies, Cats, Swans are looking good at the moment.

Dockers & Eagles need some players back.

How was Demon's 4th quarter!

After listening to the first half thought the demons were heading for another flogging .

Funny the commentators reckon for half the team it would be the first time they had sung the team song

Moving over to a Full Forward discussion;
I think Jack R at Tigers is brilliant, Cloke at Pies (Not South Aus Pies though) is also great... Franklin is really a Centre Half Forward I think...
And I think Tom Hawkins (Tomma-Hawk / Tomahawk) is actually the best value Full Forward going around... Weight for Age... Heavy Weight, & Young. Loads of footy left in him. Plus he's the type of big unit you want in Finals Football, when it really matters. He makes the defenders nervous!

That's him Pup!
24 Brownlow Votes in '76... Almost 200 games at The Cats.
We picked up Tom Hawks as "Father-Son". Plus G Ablett Snr's kids. Andrew Bews' kid Jed Bews is also at the club now. Young Allen Christensen is also a local boy, nephew to both Marty & Damien Christensen who both played for The Cats in the '80's. He's the son of the 3rd son (Brendan), and I think he must have married an aboriginal girl, because Marty & Damien where pure white last time I looked!! (*1)

*1 - I love seeing the aboriginal guys runs around, and I even umpired a stack of aboriginal footy in the NT Islands, plus mixed white & black stuff back in Darwin... Great memories...

Jimmy Bartel & Cameron Ling were also born & bred here. Joel Selwood was from Bendigo, but grew up as a Cats supporter. Lucky boy, now captain of the club he loves most of all...

Harry Taylor & Mitch Duncan are actually WA boys originally.
Ben Counsin's dad also played at Geelong!
What else do you want to know!?

Pies & Hawks current Captains are both from Geelong also... Luke Hodge went #1 in Jimmy Bartel's draft. Jimmy went #8. In hind sight, Jimmy has been a better player.

Different Note;
Jack Watts - if he knows what is good for him, he needs to leave Melbourne. I think he is probably just cruising along at Melbourne, not working hard enough... He went at Pick Number 1... He must have some elite running capabilities that we haven't quite seen yet... And he must be in the bad books at Melbourne, because they must think he is under-performing... Potentially like G Ablett Jnr... Then bang... he got serious...

Same with Jobe Watson... Bang, he hit the turbo afterburners... or was that an anti-obesity injected drug taking effect... not sure...

AFL Expansion;
I would love to see The Tassie Devils, and Northern Territory (Crocodiles?) enter the comp. Even 20 teams... But I think maybe NZ would like to submit a team... I agree, would love them involved. Prefer not to have a bye... But maybe with 21 teams, you play everyone once, 20 rounds, plus 1 round bye...

Yeah I would rather have teams from teh Territory and Tassie before we got one from NZ......if we had 21 teams we could have 20 games and an all-star game!!

Big day in the AFL tomorrow with the release of the drugs report, watching footy classified last night, suggestions made that a few heads will roll, and "Caro, why dont you get rid of the effyn stupid fringe Wilson" suggesting that there are a number of Essendon players that are on that list and should not be playing at the moment and maybe had imput into the teams 5 win record so far this season to be questioned..
Hirdy safe?
yes a tassie team would be good and a worthy entry to the afl

Caro Wilson is a joke...every article she writes pretty much calls fro someone to be sacked....the age should sack her and get someone more balanced in...Mark Robinson is much better writer IMO...

was a Tassie Devils team in the VFL comp a few years back . Not sure what happened to them . Probably thrown out for winning to much against the Victorian teams

The latest trend here in the Tasmanian state league has been importing ex AFL stars as guest players for a game . All was going great with some top performances , big crowds , until ex star Tarrant signed up to play for 2 different teams in 1 month . can't understand why the 1 St team wasn't impressed .

Had to laugh reading one game report where the AFL star was asking his opponent his team mates names so he could call for the ball .
