Boyd to win brownlow 
Dane Swan may be the 2010 AFL MVP but don't go laying big bucks on the Magpie for the Brownlow Medal. Why do I say this? Because my money is on Matthew Boyd to take the medal nicknamed 'Charlie' home for the night. I'll be the first to admit that Dane Swan has had an incredible season, he continues to lead the stats in disposals and has been an integral member of the Collingwood team. Swan's recognition as the ALF MVP does no more than what winning the Copeland Trophy...

AFL Umpires – The numbers up!
The role of the sporting official is a long and thankless task. Whether you a football referee, AFL or netball umpire it doesn’t matter, the premise is the same. The preparation you go through week in, week out to perform at your best, physically and mentally you have to be at your best every week. When all is said and done, how do you know if you have performed well, you don't get cheered off the ground, or named in the best players. You find yourself walking off the ground...
Happy Hawks No More
This season has been a farce. Hawthorn has been, quite simply, terrible. The Hawks have suffered from a split personality disorder since their Premiership triumph. One week they dazzle, the next they drizzle. The list is there, the talent unquestionable. Arguments need to be raised of the personnel higher up the chain.Coaches get a very good run in the AFL. Most will get at least two years immunity before the president turns the pressure dial up a notch...

THE FINALS - BE THERE
Shattered. Disappointed. Angry. 28 September 2008, 5pm. I couldn't leave the MCG quick enough. The Cats had just lost the unloseable Grand Final. I can't help but feel a season full of hope and promise had been an entire waste. As a supporter it is times like these that are dreaded. That feeling of utter disappointment, and the knowledge that nothing can be done to rectify what has surely been an injustice...well an injustice as far as sport goes, anyway. 18 June 2010. Hawthorn v Essendon...
