My goodness. It’s been a while since anyone posted here. Don’t worry, we haven’t given up football. If anything football has taken over us so much that this blog became an afterthought. A lot has happened from my point of view. From the lows of the cats losing to the Bombers and Eagles in successive [...]

What Grinds My Gears – AFL Round 2, 2011
This is an idea for a post generated from Geelong’s Shannon Byrnes (@ShannonBoourns on twitter) who often posts on twitter a series of tweets called ‘What Grinds My Gears‘ or WGMG for short. I think it’ll be pretty cool to start a hashtag (#) of #WGMG of things that ‘Grind Our Gears’ in the AFL [...]
AFL Power 17 – Round 1, 2011
This is an idea I had based on the power 25 that the WWE do and I thought I’d apply it to the 17 teams in the AFL. It’s not based on the official AFL ladder, it’s more based on teams in form. Basically the top 2 listed teams would be match of the round [...]

NAB Cup and NAB Challenge 2011 Form Guide
In preparation for some upcoming prediction posts for the 2011 season ahead, I thought I’d get together a bit of a form ladder based on the NAB Cup and NAB Challenge games. So here’s the preseason form ladder (note final ladder positions based on percentage may not be 100% accurate but it’s pretty damn close): [...]
Where Should the NAB Cup head?
This is a response to Colin Wright’s (@Coldogs) article 20/20 Hindsight on the Wayne Schwass Facebook page As a cats fan in Brisbane I rarely see any cats game live. I’d much rather see my team playing every week on TV, even if it is a practice match than this preseason knock out competition. Apart [...]
2011 Footy Goals and Reflection [Sarge]
This site is a bit of a mess, I’ll admit (…I have an asschin). There isn’t a lot of consistency and a lot of things are out of date. By the time the real footy season starts everything will be in kick-ass mode. This is one of my major goals for 2011. At the very [...]
