Re Q.1.Seems in First Class/ Grade Cricket it was first recorded in a 2 day game in South Africa. Re Q.2.The above incident raises the AFL Q. Has there ever been an incident in VFL or AFL where a team failed to show up AND forfeited premiership points to their opposition ? and Q.3. Any player on...

Sheedy says his best advice to the AFL and other coaches is to settle for the 4 man interchange bench but capped to a maximum of 80 interchanges per game rather than the 2 & 2 proposed for 2013. Will they heed the Sheed ?

My opinion is that the win is first priority. The flogging may happen but only if it falls within Geelong's "comfort zone". The BIG revenge would be the flag in September so they will follow a no risk policy to maximise their chances with a full fresh & fit squad in 10 weeks time.

affect their top 4 ladder finish hopes? Prestigiacomo will make his decision whether to retire or not next week. If he does retire that will deplete last year's squad by 11. That's a lot of experience & talent out the door and a 25% squad turnover !

...player fitness & skills ? For a hundred years teams just had a Coach - full stop. Now every team has a football dept made up of a gaggle of coaches, seems like mostly recently retired players, with dubious credentials. The AFL has a coaching academy and now clubs are starting their own...

Every other game of the 176 plus semi-finals we have equal playing time for win/draw/loss results BUT the GF should be in the spirit of the FIRST recorded game - play on 'till there is a winner. In tribal terms this is the fight to the death game. To do it fairly. 5 minute break then 10...

RE: St Patrick's Day - Heard any Aussie Rules or sport related jokes ? Sign on Notice Board. St Patrick's Day Auskick will be held on 14th March but if it raining that day, it will be held on the preceding Saturday.

Started VFL career at centre half back & finished at full forward. Along the way I picked up 3 flags, was leading goal kicker one year and picked up a club championship one year. I once missed a Brownlow by 1.

Before brand names like gatorade etc popped up some funny concoctions were used. My favourite was 2 parts iced lemon cordial and one part ginger ale. What was yours ?
