Thanks mate!

Have set up the very prestigious Whelan League. Code: 273343

He should, finally, have a good year then.

I got this message: Your team from last season could not be found. Please contact your league manager and have them assign you a team from last season. (Error #511)

Smith over Haddin makes no sense.

Yeah I know, I wasn't being facetious - he'd be one of my first picked. Shakib's been one of the best all rounders for a few years now.

Azhar Ali (Pak)

Everyone's pretty keen on Shakib and about zero of his teammates - so Bangladesh are a no go.

In truth, I was just being cheeky! I'd tossed up selecting him with my pick. Good get Passenger.

Currently, Ross Taylor is sitting out of tests - not best XI material in my book

Isn't there a minimum number of VFL games that an AFL-listed player has to play before being eligible to play VFL finals?

Pragyan Ojha (India)

I can only hope that he is implicated and forced to return to Melbourne to continue his coaching role.

+ No more mid-season rule changes!

I'm not sure how much of this I can take. RR you seem to be the operator of the league at present, can you do something about this?

I'm in - though a bit nervous after that bit of smack talk that rpfc dished out. Still reeling after the narrow GF loss - and that terrible day of bored trading.

Here we go!

I think the AFL, like any workplace, has a mandate to openly protect its employees against discrimination. In a way, I liken this conservation to racism in sport. The AFL, rightly, have played a big part in fighting racism in the game on both sides of the fence (obviously there is still much to do). That was a social, moral issue that the AFL chose to address, I believe that this is another.

You've got some exploring to do, DC. Glad this topic has been brought up - I hope it stays visible.

Even the author has distanced himself from him - "the former Tasmanian."

You got me thinking, Jack. Twenty20 is to cricket as an "around the world" goal-kicking competition would be for Australian Rules. Imagine Queen's Birthday replaced with something so terribly soulless - devoid of history or character. A shell of its parent sport.

Come on the Shots!!! Aldershot Town - a League Two team, they wear red and blue and re-formed from the Aldershot that went into adminstration. Small supporter base, financially struggling team fighting against wealthier clubs. Sounds like another team I know! Their biggest game being a fourth round League Cup match against Manchester United in 2011. Fourth round at Middlesbrough, a win would be a dream (probably too much so).

I see your point; but I think the fact the no player will want to go near him in the future is the real punishment.

On %, our first 11 games yielded a % of 55.92 whereas the last 11 games % was 80.7. Clearly we got better as the year went on and, had we retained Clark, would've been even better IMO. I'm expecting quite an improvement this season across the board.

I was at the Spurs Man U game - wow!
