Garland and Rivers both have room for improvement- which will happen . Morton is fringe best 30 in my opinion .

Lyon ,Viney ,Ox ? Alan Johnson had a few good years .

Warner is a better bat than Hughes. I hope he gets the same opportunities .

SS Steven Stretch.....

Good article about Cricket and culture by Greg Baum in todays Age . Unfortunately-football and cricket are less enjoyable things to watch these days because of overpromotion ,corpoatisation and crap administration turning games into big ads .I want people to start bringing their own food and drink to games like the old days .Screw the crap catering ,the non-stop Mac Chuck ,KFC and Beer and Bet ads .

In a competition where he outscored Fev without effort . So hes above VFLs best player without one Afl season.

This was a man who had just been kicked out of his home. Despite this, his integrity and identity remain intact, as does his home. Those that did this to him are a footnote in our history. We live and learn.

This kid has freakish ability and can kick 10 goals straight . All the rest is speculation based on generalization. Classic fear of abandonment issues amongst some here .

maybe he wont tackle ,chase ,harass ,smother ,talk ,niggle or fight? If so he is about 25% ready .

Lies , Lies and damned statistics . We can do better than that! Ouch.... I just had to slap my own face to remember that I am a Demon supporter and that this is the month of November

How much better can anyone be if they have their horizons expanded and are taught to work on their gift? I think a lot . We've made worse choices with white kids from the APS system . I'm not going to use the R word but some of the posts against recruiting this kid are taking stereotypes and embellishing them with reflections of Wonna fresh on their minds . Waylon ,Aussie and Jurrah are three different people with three different levels of ability and application to give the club (or not) . Lets not lump them in together with lazy generalisations as I have seen here before .

You are correct Hardtack-I am merely your sub-editor . At least we will be an entity-and the Afl can eat our acronym or submit to our demands.

Dude , Frank Walker is not the issue here.I'm disappointed you went for tiles . That rug ,as you know too well...... really tied the the room together .

How about it? or Aussie Rules Supporters for Equtiy ARSE

Remember when you could take sandwiches to the footy? Remember when the ground had green grass instead of advertising all over it . Kids could sell peanuts or lollies that were just plain peanuts or lollies? The announcements at quarter time were for cars blocking other cars or lost kids? I'm just over the Coke Betair NAB Carlton United Hungry Jacks GWS ,Etihad ,McDonalds ,KFC crap and all the inflation that goes with the whole "EVENT" and it's management .Fans from all clubs should fight this crap and refuse the AFLS food ,music , Venues ,sponsors ,"entertainment" ,bad TV deals ,new bogus clubs and the constant shiiling of [censored].

Agreed WYL . I suggest an acid party in the Botanical gardens dressed as characters from Alice in Wonderland . No ,seriously , It would be nice to have some fans gets together and decide on a course of action to take on the AfL over these cultural issue such as food ,music and advertising .It's no fun at the footy- you just get processed like a chook .

Rum'n'raisin or chocolate?

The Headline should've been...... Ron strikes out Bowling!

Seeya.

Further theft of what was once free .The quiet time between quarters now used to sell burgers and KFC and coke or Gambling .All these thing combine to lessen the whole experience . Advertisers dont pay for the game .WE pay to get in and they pay to [censored] crap to us .Therefore we should ban it .

I think it's time that fans were treated with respect by the AFl and clubs . It's about time a representative body of the paying public /viewers was formed to take on the AFL over issues like GWS fraudulence, the increasing corporatisation of the game, the rule changes, the woeful umpiring, the disgusting food /beer forced on fans, the ridiculous promotion of products throughout the game, the woeful entertainment on GF day, the ridiculous Etihad deal that is breaking some clubs every time they play there. Millions of dollars, from paying idiots like us, gets flushed away on half-wit schemes like GWS whilst established clubs, Melbourne, Swans, Saints, Dogs and Lions see success become harder to obtain or are forced to move/merge . Community football, local clubs, Auskick etc receive little benefit from the expansion of the AFL. In order to sell more burgers in West Sydney, the goodwill and history of our great club has been eroded and stolen for a fraudulent and artificial franchise. The TS saga aside, this would never have happened had the clubs/fans had a say. If the NSW AFL had put forward it's own proposal for a new team then fine. What I object to most is that the huge headless glutton we call a CORPORATION has stolen an organic culture and replaced it with culture LITE . Most people are too stupid or sated to notice but, as with cricket, this sort of crap will destroy the game. I suggest a symbolic protest during which the fans start bringing their own food and drink to games again and refuse the slop they sell at grounds. The individual players should have their salaries capped at half a million. Twice as much as the PM is more than enough . The argument will come back that kids will choose cricket or basketball over AFL if we cap the salaries. Cricket is already ruined by TV and corporatisation and basketball is broke. Fans of all clubs should rise up and make some simple demands for the benefit of a game we have founded and funded for generations. It's time we stopped the game being run by people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing .

Tapscott ,Frawley ,Garland Bennell, Watts,Grimes Gysberts Moloney Blease Petterd ,Clark ,Davey Jetta Howe Sylvia Jamar ,Trengove ,Jones Bate ,Rivers ,Jurrah ,Jordie Mckenzie ,Joel MAc ,Bail ,Max Gawn ,Green ,Nicho ,Strauss

I think hell be big enough .Tore Tarrant apart and mocked him in one match I saw of him .

I spent all last year defending Bate and now everyone want a piece of the Master . Cant believe anyone would consider dropping Watts. He is Best 5. I'm unable to justify Green in the team after last year . I can see Bennell ,Nicho ,Jetta improving .

Precisely ,oops .
