I'm refusing to think about either the AFL or NRL until after the cricket season.

Then again, the weather in Sydney so far this summer has been perfect for football... :roll:

Good article by Mike Sheahan in today's HeraldSun on the state of football. He makes excellent points &, interestingly, says there will be a resident Tassie team in a few years.

You'd have to like the chances of me starting a flame war at some point.

It is always good to have AFL haters trying to rebut positive comments. Missing Egan's super intelligent attempts at scorn :-)

Wasn't there supposed to be zillions of south africans (resident in south africa) playing aussie rules by now?

Darryl White banned for life

GREY MORRIS | December 22nd, 2011

Saints Darryl White juggles a mark. Picture: JUSTIN SANSON

THREE-TIME Brisbane premiership player Darryl White has been banned from playing football for life.

White's one-match ban for striking Tiwi Bomber Donald Mungatopi took his lifetime suspensions to 16 games - one above the maximum allowed under a new AFLNT deregistration policy for players and officials.

White was deregistered under the ruling that places a life ban on players suspended for more than 15 games.

...
Where do I start.

1) They actually have a limit, and it's 15?!

2) Someone actually got to 15?

3) How much football gets played during a football game up there?!

The drawings for the new Doug Wade stand look good - but disappointing that it will have 1,000 less seats. That's 1,000 less visiting supporters that can be fitted in to the ground :-(

Kp is becoming boring. Also, I hate the cricket now with BBL taking over the real teams

Just listening to BBL from Hobart. If they can have a successful team with good crowds, why can't they have their own AFL club?

Because football hates Tasmania.

Come on it's what you wanted to hear.
