2011 Preliminary Pub Talk (0)
26/09/11 As the saying goes, history usually repeats itself and it did with one close game and one cake walk. Unfortunately for West Coast their fairly tale ended with Geelong giving them a finals lesson like wise Hawthorn who endured the heart ache of loosing a close game after playing a brilliant first three quarters. Collingwood [...]
2011 Semi Finals Pub Talk (2)
19/09/11 I must admit I get a little annoyed that reporters are focusing on clubs that are not in the finals instead of stuff we should be focusing on like Buddy’s knee, will Collingwood loosing Mark Neeld effect the side or what about one of the best finals of the modern era between West Coast and [...]
2011 Finals Week 1 Qualifying Finals Wrapup (2)
12/09/11 The first two Qualifying finals were classics but unfortunately the other two between the bottom four sides was a level below in the intensity. The question is can Carlton and Sydney lift and challenge West Coast and Hawthorn who both have injury worries to their stars. Geelong booked their fifth straight Preliminary Final I really [...]

AFL 2011 Round 23 Pub Talk (2)
29/08/11 Yet another week of AFL football, boy this is a long season – can you suffer from an overdose of football? Collingwood smashed Fremantle While the final margin sees Fremantle loosing by 80 points it could have been worse and it raises a question: Did Collingwood take the foot off the pedal after kicking 13 [...]
AFL 2011 Round 22 Pub Talk (10)
22/08/11 Hawthorn defeated Carlton by 12 points Pre game this was talked up as the match of the round – afterwards it still debatable but it was a game of two half’s which is where every expert will be focusing on post match. Who is the real Carlton and is Hawthorns second half fade out an [...]
AFL 2011 Round 21 Pub Talk (2)
15/08/11 Round 21 and still three more rounds left means it will be a long season, longer if your a Port Adelaide player and supporter but you would be loving the season if your team is still in the hunt for the finals. As a football lover I was pleased to see bottom sides be competitive against the top sides with only one blow out.
AFL 2011 Round 20 Discussion (6)
08/08/11 Again the margins of all games except two have been floggings, yes every year we see the crap sides struggle as they play kids and the injuries take affect but still when you see two sides with a percentage over 160% – surely there is a worrying trent. I think the last time a team [...]
AFL 2011 Round 19 Discussion (5)
01/08/11 One close game and the rest were cake walks – is this a reason to worry that lately the margins of games are blow outs? Is the AFL becoming a two tier competition or is it just because the teams outside the top 8 are playing the kids? Carlton made North Melbourne’s Finals Hopes Harder [...]
AFL 2011 Round 18 Discussion (13)
25/07/11 Watching todays football I have decided it is bad for my heart and marriage & I have no one to blame except for the umpires. I am continuously amazed at how stupid they are and I have given up understanding why they make their idiotic decisions that week in and week out ruin the game we all love.
