I watched the first half of the Port v Cats match yesterday on the box. Who at Channel 7 thought it would be a good idea to hire James Brayshaw as a commentator? It was part of the reason I only watched the first half.

 

I don't mind the concept but if it's to be taken seriously, they'll need to look at when they do it, to ensure there's some decent talent going around and not treated as a training camp.

The silver sherrin was also a bit of a dud idea too...

[Radar501]

You had more resilience than me Grant, if you endured it till half time.   Doing circle work on a square ground??  Instead of AFLX, it should be called AwFuL

 

Having said that, one rule I liked was that no mark is paid for a kick going rearwards.   If it was brought in for the regular season, say anywhere in the back half, it would eliminate much of the boring tempo style footy.   Teams doing that get booed, even by their own supporters.

[AlexRRR]

Tinker league are obsessed with trying to export the game they should be carful if successful with X they could kill off the real game....

X is unlikely to gain much traction outside of Aussie and further damage the main game, had a chat with a guy in hua hin recently a former rugby player back in the British Isles who immediately labeled us as pin pong and a game with out rules....X will just reinforce that.

For a PC I have found the best to be WiTopia, you can get for both Apple and Windows.  Australia Plus TV has stopped broadcasting online, why, you will need to ask Malcolm. Do any stations broadcast the matches in Australia you can watch them in Asia.

 

[Gazman1]

As for the AFLX, it did not impress me and I watched bits of the matches which did nothing to inspire me either.  If they mentioned the Zooper Dooper phrase any more I was ready to throw something large and heavy at the screen, surely they could have come up with a better term unless they threw it open for suggestions from a kindergarten which named the Ferrie McFerrieFace

You can still watch Australia plus if you have True Visions cable.

[sceadugenga]

I have TrueVisions/Australia Plus as an iPad app, without the cable.

My neighbour gets the package (platinum?) and gave me the app that came with it.

Fremantle coach Ross Lyon hopes troubled midfielder Harley Bennell can knuckle down and stay focused while he deals with his latest calf setback.

Bennell was banished to WAFL club Peel Thunder last month following an altercation with security staff at a Fremantle night spot.

The 25-year-old then suffered a minor calf injury - continuing a worrying trend of soft tissue injuries for the talented but troubled player.

Bennell has been more prone to off-field misdemeanours while dealing with injury problems in the past.

Last April, Bennell was asked to leave a flight bound for the Gold Coast after attendants considered him too drunk to fly.

And a month later, he was fined $10,000 and ordered to undergo counselling after twice interrupting a three-quarter time huddle of a WAFL game in order to speak to his cousin.

Bennell's current exile at Peel Thunder will stretch into next month, at which point he can be considered for a return.

Lyon hopes Bennell can stay on the straight and narrow while he deals with his latest calf injury, which the club expects will take only three weeks to recover from.

"There's no doubt that for any player that gets injured, it places stress on them and some challenges," Lyon said on Friday.

"So he has to button down and double down his concentration and effort and stay focused."

Meanwhile, Lyon labelled Alex Pearce a future captain ahead of the defender's long-awaited playing return.

Pearce hasn't played since breaking his leg in round nine, 2016.

His return last year was aborted after he suffered another fracture.

But his 645 days on the sidelines will come to an end on Sunday when he lines up in Fremantle's pre-season clash with the Crows in Strathalbyn, South Australia.

"He's really important to us - 200cm, really quick," Lyon said.

"He's carrying himself really well. He's a driven, focused individual.

"He's certainly (got) leadership material stamped all over him, and a future captain of AFL football I would think.

"For him to be back playing is wonderful for us, and him.

"It's been a tough road. And unless you walk in his shoes, you probably don't understand it.

"Two years of rehab is monotonous and mentally draining. But he's back."

Fremantle will unleash a strong side featuring captain Nat Fyfe and ruckman Aaron Sandlands, along with recruits Brandon Matera and Nathan Wilson.

Defender Joel Hamling will miss because of a wedding, while Stephen Hill is still recovering from a leg injury.

Adelaide will be without skipper Taylor Walker, Brodie Smith, Brad Crouch, and Riley Knight.

[Will27]

Robbie Gray gets offered a week which sounds about right.

With no extra week for appealing, only $10 000, wonder if Port will roll the dice.

 

In other news, West Coast beat Port again which means Sceadunga owes me lunch

Fj’s mob over there a stone throw from the new north melb railway station won’t be winning to much and likely will hop the train to Sunbury as few high paid players there now driving Audi 5&6’s not to mention a range of BMW in the car park....just rusty push bikes and a weekly ticket instead...as they rebuild....can we assume Scott can last the year?

AlexRRR, if your boys are in as good as form as you're, they're in for a big year.

 

West Coast, anywhere between 6 and 10th maybe.

A lot will depend on how Nic Nat returns.

 

Does Collingwood need to make the 8 for Bucks to be safe?

 

I'm in agreeance with you about GWS, I don't rate the coach.

 

Thank your mother for the rabbits

[AlexRRR]

Bucks has an iron clad contract and pictures off Ed in a compromised situation...hovering around 8 n 9.

Nic is back and like the Dee’s Gawn if he’s not on his game either is the rest of the team....but we have that ex north hack who I offered to you free of charge in Cam....he is a proven 100 point fantasy ruckman who is pretty good when on the ball.....still only 31 and finally maturing....something about being 6ft2 something stops around the 6ft mark then takes like 5 years to go the last inch or two.....

I hope they start better than 2017.

There do not seem to be too many injuries at this stage so I hope they get a first up win in Perth.

Intending jetting interstate on the national flag carrier to catch a game of footy?     Mind your language!!

 

Qantas has sent out a memo to all staff with a list of words which are considered  gender inappropriate .   They include 'wife', husband', 'mum' and 'dad'.   Employees were also told to “minimise manteruptions”, which refers to men interrupting while women are speaking.

 

CEO Alan Joyce himself is a prominent member of the LGBT community.   The rainbow warrior no doubt would have rubber stamped the order as it passed over his desk.

 

I have watched a few of the AFLW games and often hear players, coaches and commentators yelling out 'holding the man', 'manning the mark' and so on.   I suppose women's footy vernacular will be next on the PC hit -list.

Well it’s half time in the Dee and Saints practice game....we’re looking like premiers already thanks to the Saints being in la la land....Mr Chooks will be furious with the lack of endeavour.....it’s like they haven’t got a clue.....You will like to know Mcubbing is till on the ground though can’t kick for his life but hey he hasn’t been kicked in the head either....40 points up Dee’s with the wind going into the third quarter looks like a lean start to th Saints again this season...so there’s your tip guys in the tipping....dont tip the Sai ts at least in round one no matter who there playing...

Don't get me started.

 

Last month, a Western Australian politician reckoned the term "Blind Freddie" is offensive to blind people.

 

The world's gone mad.
