Here in America, prospective on draftees in Oz is almost impossible to know.

Just wondering about how Geelong did in the draft. Please educate me.

Harry Taylor, East Fremantle
Dawson Simpson, Murray
Scott Simpson, Dandenong
Dan McKenna, Gippsland
Adam Donahue, Geelong (father-son, Larry)

Can this be true? We are not going to see any rule changes next season....Whats going on? Are the rules committee and The AFL taking drugs? Are they playing games with us?

Too many changes each season, Why on earth, do they need to change the rules so often? Aussie rules is the only sport I know, where the rules change every season. Its riduclous.

Or is it the fairest, but not necessarily the best ? How would you form the criteria for this medal. ?

Ok, I have set myself up for some colourful answers here, seeing as Adelaidians are a minority on here:)))
Put all of your bias aside and let me know where you think we might finish?
I personally don't think we will make it anywhere near the top 8 and I am a passionate crows girl :(((

Imawunda, give me your best shot buddy!!!!

For all those who were interested in a tipping comp I have set one up on the AFL site. It is still on this year's but if you register now it carries over to next year. The name of the comp is Yahoo Footy.

To make this a question, who do you think will win?

US football too uncivilized. If they were real players, they wouldn't have to wear all that equipment.

Please don't tell me that he is a comedian!

If that is his claim to fame then he needs to sack his gag writers & hire some new ones. The other cast members try hard to laugh at his corny one-liners but it is becoming increasingly more difficult for them to put on a good act.

He is an embarrassment. My wife reckons he must have signed a lengthy contract with C9 otherwise he'd be given the flick.

If I'm told, in here, that he IS funny then I, & my immediate circle of friends, ourselves have no sense of humour as we all think he is a drop-kick.

Maybe it's a Victorian sense of humour we lack, eh?

They have "BAGGED" the bloke for years in a EAGLES no 3, now they reckon he is a hero, and he hasn't had a kick for them yet !

So, the umpires are blowing the whistle a but more often, and some people are saying our games like netball now. I say its still one hell of a tough sport, and if you`re not hard, the likes of Archer & the Roo (retired, I know) will knock ya block off. What do you guys think?

With all the negativity surrounding the EAGLES, Ben Cousins and other West Coast players, would you still "purchase a meal" from "Hungry Jacks" or are you put off by the fact your COKE may contain ICE!

What background does Matthew Knights have in coaching, does anyone know?

To me, he seemed to come unheralded out of left field.

Everybody thinks they are getting cheated. First to whine has been Melbourne and Richmond.

The media are a bunch of tools. Andrew Johns comes out and tells us all about how he took drugs for so long, while he was playing, while he wasn't, the full deal. But for some reason because he turned it into a sob story about how hard his life was, the media portray him as some sort of 'battler' and its ok.

Yet cousins, who chooses to remain silent (because everything he says will probably be misquoted by the media) is called arrogant, sleazy, and apparently deserves everything he gets?

The fact that he is in trouble with the police does contribute to it, but I still feel as though he has gotten the wrong end of the stick simply because he is what most media people wish they were - rich, well known, good looking

opinions?

It doesn't matter what time I go on, it seems like it takes ages to load up. And when clicking on different sites within the AFL website, it takes just as long to come up. It pisses me off, especially when I am doing my footy tips.

I have broadband connection, but I see that this is the only site I have problems with. All other sites are lightening quick.

Are you people jealous?

Look at Lleyton Hewitt, Wayne Carey, and Greg Norman....these sports man are prime examples of people's jealousy. If you you had done the same thing as Ben Cousin's....you would not make the news. Why? Because you are not as high profile as he is.

Ben is only human, like you and me. Give him a fair go. Just because he has money and is out of control.....you can't just kick him while he is down. The bloke needs help... not your critisim and jealousy. Aussies are known to help the out in all sorts ways when it comes to charity and natural disasters, but are also quick to shoot down a HIGH PROFILE personallity.

P.S I know you are going to give me sh*T, but at least I can say...I never ever put anyone down because they have money and fame.
