Semi Finals, 2012 So another two bite the dust.  Good night to Freo and West Coast. I actually thought both teams would prove that being top 4 at the end of the Home and Away season did not give Adelaide and Collingwood an automatic right to play in the Preliminary Finals, and whilst it wasn’t […]

Goodbye and good night to Geelong. It has been a wonderful era – up there with the best of all times but great things cannot last forever. (Just ask any of my ex-girlfriends). In the end we all grow old and our hair grows grey if we are still blessed to have it. In the […]

Thank God that is OVER! In the immortal words of Kylie Mole…’how embarrassment!!” About the only thing to take out of the year for most supporters who aren’t in the finals is the hilarious and emotional scenes emanating through the TV after Gold Coast scored its biggest and best win of its short career. Oh, […]

Round 22, 2012 The Cleansing has begun.  Let’s just hope that someone with a MONSTROUS mop and broom goes through the Rules Committee to clean out the dead wood such as Bartlett, Anderson et al. They should seriously have a look at what  the FANS want from their footy and understand that we are the […]

Round 21, 2012 Footy bloggers really need to pull their heads in and be held to account about the bile they post all over the net. It’s one thing to have an opinion about a player’s ability, or some proven behaviour that has already been bandied all around the medja, but it is entirely another […]

About time we had some footballers behaving badly so we could get into the meat and potatoes of off-field shenanigans. We have been waiting a while. Just when I thought footy players had grown up and become mature as a group, and the training, inductions, and annual AFL talk-fests about rights and responsibilities of being […]

Well after this week’s results you can pretty much write off a few more teams from the finals race. Sadly, it is my mob. Richmond did just enough to ‘stay in touch with  a mathematical chance’ however given the number of close losses they have had, it is hard to imagine them breaking in unless […]

Round 16, 2012 Hmmmmm….. enough said really! In the gun this week ?  Well it could be the AFL for not pushing it’s Responsibility and Respect for Women Policy harder in the week of ‘Women’s Round’ but we don’t want to bring up dirt too much. It could be Mark Fraser for pre-judging the outcome […]

Round 15, 2012 We have not had fisticuffs on Footytalk.com.au for such a long time – well at least since the Green Room during the aftermath of ‘the Cheerleader’s’ inauspicious debut during our Round 22 Extravaganza last year but things were threatening to get out of hand during this weeks show. A very relevant point […]

Round 14, 2012 What a boring round of footy.  At least the North Melbourne v St. Kilda game, and the Adelaide v Richmond game provided some interest for us. With so many teams NOT wanting to make a play for 8th spot, perhaps North, after being lambasted through the medja (including footytalk.com.au) has decided that […]

Round 13, 2012 Since when is the resignation of a VFL standard coach news?  When there is nothing else to talk about except idiotic tweets from blokes who should know better, and only 6 games of footy to discuss. Still, it is a pretty important resignation that may have a far-reaching impact on the final […]

Round 12, 2012 Stuck in the middle of a bye round.  Sounds ridiculous that we have a bye but still have 6 games of footy on.  *Pining for the OLD DAYS of good footy* Just as we were about to say that there have been no serious off-field transgressions for a long time, one bloke […]

Round 11, 2012 Three words for you. Kevin Friggin’ Bartlett! The old geezer is off his bloody rocker with his ideas to change the game even more.  You know what Kev?  If you didn’t change the game by trying to speed it up more, you wouldn’t have to change the game to slow it down […]

Round 10, 2012 Who was the great man who once quoted the immortal words, “I’m upset for dis!”? Whoever he was, he was ahead of his time.  Round 10, 2012 was a time of great upset around the footy world, but probably not as upset as Australian’s will be come July 1st when the red-headed […]

Round 9, 2012 After being thumped by Hawthorn a few weeks ago, who would have thought that Scott Watters would be able to prove that he is a decent coach in such a short period of time.  Great win against another mob who were being touted as premiership fancies in the medja. And whilst we […]

Round 8, 2012 I AM INSIPID I AM PATHETIC I AM ONE DIMENSIONAL I AM OVER-RATED I AM RELIANT ON ONE MAN I AM DEVOID OF TALENT I AM A BASKETCASE I AM ….carlton. In better news, Adelaide looks the goods along with Essendon and West Coast.  Hawthorn is flying underneath the radar and Collingwood […]

Round 7, 2012 The crosshairs are set fairly and squarely on the former number 7 from Princes Park this week, and i am NOT talking about Bentick or the Dominator. DO SOMETHING!!!!  Before it is bloody too late and you turn into a northern suburbs version of St. Kilda circa 2000-2010!! Also Goddard.  How lucky […]

Round 6, 2012 What a crazy weekend of footy.  The Giants prove they will be a force to be reckoned with in 8 years time; we almost had an upset of titanic proportions with GC17 running Freo within 39 seconds, and we had Adelaide stamp itself as a potential finals prospect with a quality win […]

Round 5, 2012 Congratulations to our inaugural ‘Boy Of The Year’, Clint Bartram, for playing his 100th game for Melbourne last weekend.  It’s been a pleasure to watch your development over the years Clint, and we hope you continue to play quality footy over the next 100.  I just hope that you get more of […]
