Culture is a strong word in today’s football, it can be the building blocks or the straw that breaks the camels back for any club. We look at some clubs who have bad and good culture and ask if picking character over talent is a wise decision with today’s news that Jack Darling won the round 6 nomination for the Rising Star Award.

Today we look at whether the decision by Melbourne to strip the captaincy off Brent Moloney was a good or bad call. Personally I think its an over reaction as they have said he did not pee off the bar as was alleged so why did they strip him of the Vice Captaincy? Has he a record of binge drinking and creating situations or is it a case that the Demons want to create a solid culture and that send the wrong message to his younger team mates?

I am not a fan of soccer and think its a girly game that is corrupt & boring but in reading Ex-Socceroo Ljubo Milicevic’s comments he made me stand up & take notice.

You can deny it, you can blow as positive spin on it as possible but even blind freddy knows there is something smelly down at St Kilda… Yes they are playing some great football to play in the last three AFL Grand Finals but at what cost?

We look at something that many people have argued about in the past and that is should AFL players be role models? Or maybe it should just be the parents…

Before the AFL was as professional as it is today AFL footballers were known for their alcohol intake during the season. Today many clubs and players put a season ban on alcohol for fitness reasons but what about the off season?

In New Zealand where I was on holidays, even there I was unable to escape the ego fight between the AFL and the FIFA over the dream of some fans to see a Soccer World Cup in Australia. While everyone has an opinion I want to focus on the ego fight and how that will see no World Cup in Australia…

Kick2Kick writer Craig looks at the stats of the current AFL stadium deals & how Free Agency will ruin the current premiership balance & financially.

The AFL has behaviour problems, while they shake their heads at the bad boys of the NRL they choose to ignore the worrying trend of their own AFL players.
