Apocalypse XXXI

Chris Doerre puts next year's crop under the microscope (alphabetical order) ~ AFL Draft: Top 20 prospects for 2020

Do you reckon Kozzy could grow a few cms as well?

Money for jam: 3. Luke Jackson 10. Kysaiah Pickett 28. Jeremy Sharp

Why would a knight of the realm listen to the Lesbian Hour?

Very nice for someone to take a hanger in a school game but there’s a long, long road to the place of a professional football match.

The problem is that the Suns have two captains with one all but out of the door and the other being courted by one of the strong established AFL Clubs. This is not only going to be terribly destabilizing for the Suns internally but it’s also going to make it very hard for them to recruit players to the club.

Anyone not happy about us drafting the 181cm Darcy Parish on the grounds that he's too small, should take note of Lovell's height and weight.

Did Jolly leave because of better opportunity elsewhere, the money, the fact that he liked the Sydney lifestyle better or some other reason?

And I would add "pizzweak".I wonder if this phenomenon is contributing to our dearth of quality batters coming to the fore in the longer version of the game? Warner aside, very few are making the adjustment from having to score off every ball against some strange bowling and field placings compared to playing a responsible test match innings.

Then caught at fine leg. Out for 209. Aussies will be chasing a big target.

Brought up the double ton with a 6 on the first ball of the last over. Followed that up with another 6.

You need to take that back. It's not midnight yet?

Rohit Sharma closing in on a double century in Bangalore. Aussies chucking pies.

This thread is really deteriorating. Shouldn't it be placed in the general board?

So who are we going to boo this afternoon?

How can you be accused of cheating when all you are doing is following what the CEO of the organisation says was OK? Surely, if there are any penalties, however concocted, Demetriou must resign forthwith.

On 3AW's Rumour File yesterday, Ross Stevenson said that the AFL was going to lay tanking charges against the MFC during the day. It didn't happen apparently. That's why they call it the Rumour File.

Boy, do I have a Jack for you? Knightmare's 2011 Mock Draft on bigfooty currently has Jack Charleston down as pick 52 which, conveniently enough, would make him a Demon (previously had him going to Collingwood for a later pick). You can also have Jack Crisp, Jack Newnes or Jackson Paine if you want.

No. We can't mention Rooty Hill's wealthiest resident here.

At least the surfing's fine down Torquay way.

I picked up the Geelong Advertiser yesterday after a big day surfing on the coast and I had a bit of a giggle at Andrew Bews best 25 players in the AFL. No offence to our only nominee in the group (Robbo at 21 and ahead of Riewoldt) but I think he's way off beam with that selection. (Sorry but I couldn't find an internet link) 1. Matthew Pavlich (Fremantle) 2. Adam Goodes (Sydney) 3. Chris Judd (WCE) 4. Ben Cousins (WCE) 5. Ryan O’Keefe (Sydney) 6. Simon Goodwin (Adelaide) 7. Dean Cox (WCE) 8. Jonathan Brown (Brisbane) 9. Daniel Kerr (WCE) 10. Steven Baker (St. Kilda) 11. Nathan Brown (Rich) 12. Jason Akermanis (WBulldogs) 13. Nathan Buckley (Collingwood) 14. Matthew Lloyd (Essendon) 15. Matthew Scarlett (Geelong) 16. Luke Hodge (Hawthorn) 17. Brent Harvey (Kangas) 18. James Clement (Collingwood) 19. Craig Bolton (Sydney) 20. James Hird (Essendon) 21. Russell Robertson (Melb) 22. Paul Chapman (Geelong) 23. Warren Tredrea (Port Adelaide) 24. Nick Riewoldt (St. Kilda) 25. Lance Whitnall (Carlton) FWIW Bews siad he regards St. Kilda, Kangaroos and Adelaide as being in trouble in the future.
