    Colemanballs - sporting and non-sporting

    I like Frank Hyde's "if it wasn't for the rain it would be a fine day" Or Jack Dyer (when trying to liken Justin Madden's enourmous reach to that of an Octopus said "Madden throw's out his giant testicle", Cheers

    Money to burn for AFL

    That's dead right. the NRl need sot spend money promoting the Storm and be in there for the long haul. It will take twenty years or so bu tyou've got to star tsomewhere. Fan, That's what you don't understand about the impact of the AFL in NSW & Qld. Look ahead to 20 years time when League is...

    Saints would be crap without Illawarra.

    Hi guys, I don't visit here that often but it's good to see the old debates are still raging. Since the new club is a joint venture it cannot exist without either partner. But what would have happened without the merger? In the short term Illawarra would have folded while St George would have...

    Storm on Live to test AFL

    This is a small but very good step in the right direction. They will not outrate the AFL (regardless of who is playing) but they will capture some sort of audience and they can build on that. Free to air TV coverage is vital to a team like the Storm even if it hurts crowds in the short term...

    Melbourne Demons report 1.6m loss

    Fan, Average Swans crowds in Sydney have fallen back from their peak of a few years ago (they certainly haven't lost 15,000 in two years) when they made the finals and Lockett mania was full swing. But they are still getting an average of over 25,000 when they have an ordinary year - that is...

    Beagles forward pack.....

    Bryce, Don't know why you think that Souths think Sinclair is one of our major signings. Coleman is impressed by his attitude but I doubt that he is even pencilled in forthe top grade. With regard to Coleman's coaching ability, we'll just have to see how the season unfolds. Souths will...

    Melbourne Demons report 1.6m loss

    Fan, Just a couple of points. Firstly AFL income is projected to rise a further 73% by 2006. That will help overcome any lingering financial problems - they are already offering clubs an extra $2,000,000 each, as well as interest free loans if they need them. As an added little bonus the...

    The Federal Elections: Pick the margins

    I waited patiently until all the votes were counted and I respectfully submit that this contest was another case of rorted News Ltd dud criteria:) First they got Souths now one of their fans. Note the following facts. Bigbopper (the first to submit a tip) picked the winner (Coalition) the exact...

    Melbourne Demons report 1.6m loss

    The only thing that will drive a team out of the competition (regardless of the code) is a string of losses not one bad year. The thing about AFL clubs is that they post the occasional loss but they also post profits. Tutt army's points about other AFL clubs is very valid. When News Ltd ran that...

    Beagles forward pack.....

    The Beagles pack is patchy at best and, given a few players have injury clouds , their depth is suspect. I see now that they are in the market for Field to boost their backline. While I do not wish them any ill will I must say I see the irony in Souths signing seven of their players. Overall...

    Now that I have the time to ask the question...

    fan, I disagree, I think most politicians work very hard and unless you are in a safe seat life can be pretty brutal. And the fact that Australia is terrorist free (and ran a terrorist free Olympics) has got at least something to do with our political leadership (on both sides - I'm not just...

    Now that I have the time to ask the question...

    This will get you all going. I don't think politicians are anywhere near as bad as they are made out to be. I really believe it's a very tough job, expecially with an incompetent and biased (usually in one direction of the other) mediaand unreasonable interest groups. Overall Australia has...

Main course: very plump chicken breast slowly pan fried in butter with a sauce made from the pan juices, lots of garlic, worstershire sauce, brandy...

    The NRL and TV

    The draw for next year’s AFL season has just been released. Predictions that the AFL would lose control of things under the new TV contract have proven to be completely inaccurate. The AFL is able to determine the exact date of every game before the season starts. They have the blockbusters...

    Channel 9 waives the Rules

    Overall the AFL has improved its position in regard to TV coverage and is now murdering League. 1) Of their $100,000,000 contract over 90% of it is in cash. Contrast this with the NRL who can't even afford a 16th Team with its contra-heavy deal. 2) They get AFL beamed into Sydney and Brisbane...

But THIS THURSDAY, they will fight in the Supreme Court of NSW...
