AFL Plans 2007 Schedule

Submitted on Sun, 07/30/2006 - 3:20 PM EDT
by Lisa Albergo, reporting for AFANA from Chicago

2007 Schedule
With a new software program in place, the league now has the ability to plan a more equitable schedule based on the Round 22 standings and the finals, rather than basing it on team standings as of Round 15. Currently each team faces either three or four teams twice that were in the top eight at the end of Round 15 the previous season. But with the final eight often changing between Rounds 15-22, that has led to situations where some clubs were advantaged or disadvantaged in terms of their draw for the following season.
 
A case in point was Essendon this season,

AFL Weekly Preview Round 17 2006

Submitted on Fri, 07/28/2006 - 8:56 AM EDT

Last Week: 3 from 8 – Total 83/128 (64.8%)

What a disaster last week tipsters. If you followed my tips that is. Mind you, if you’re a Freo or Collingwood supporter you probably did well and if you picked up the HUGE tip about the Carlton versus Essendon game being a draw then you would be a prince among peasants in the office competition! The problem with tipping footy is not only the frustration with the end result but when there’s merely a kick in it for 3 of the games, as there was, you can go from lollies to boogers in the time it takes to deliver a behind the play low blow to an opposition player. With 6 matches to go and 4 points behind the leader there is still a chance although methinks that the best chance just went begging last week. Having said that and then looking at the games this week there are three that will be difficult to pick and of course there is always the upset looming on the horizon.

AFL Weekly Review Round 16 2006

Submitted on Wed, 07/26/2006 - 2:08 PM EDT

AFL Weekly Review

by Tim Murphy

This was heritage round with a 1980s theme. Unfortunately the theme didn’t extend off the field, so we could pay $10 to get in and buy beer in cans at $2 a go.

At Football Park:

Adelaide         4.3   7.6   14.7   19.10.124
North Melbourne  1.3   4.4    6.8    7.10.52

Big crowd in to celebrate a significant milestone - Drew Petrie’s 100th game. Oh, and Camry skipper Mark Ricciuto played his 300th. The papers were full o’tributes to ‘Roo’ including Ash Porter’s hagiography in ‘The Age’, which omitted any mention of Ricciuto’s judiciously-applied thuggery. No elbows-to-heads or Ramsgate Hotel car-parks at all. Ricciuto is a terrific player though, who’s won everything the game has to offer and here became the quickest to 300 games - only 13 seasons. Just a premiership as captain to go, this year maybe.

Fraser Rubs Salt In Eagles Wounds

Submitted on Mon, 07/24/2006 - 11:36 PM EDT
By Barry Kennedy, AFANA Reporter in Melbourne

The West Coast Eagles had come off a trying week for the match against Collingwood at the Telstra Dome. Former top draft pick Michael Gardiner provided an unwanted distraction for his club and left his own football future in limbo after crashing his car while driving drunk. His subsequent indefinite suspension by the Eagles hierarchy allowed opposing ruckman and fellow number one draft pick, Josh Fraser, free reign to control the game. Collingwood capitalised on this advantage and created many others to carve out a convincing victory.

Swans Revival Begins As Tigers Disappoint

Grundy Steals The Show On Debut

 

Frank Ienco reporting for AFANA from Sydney

 

Sydney have put a controversial fortnight behind them to put their 2006 season firmly back on track and remain in the top Eight with a convincing 48-point victory over Richmond at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday night (AEST).

 

Two weeks after coach Paul Roos dismissed his side’s chances of defending their Premiership following a loss to Adelaide and the subsequent fall-out of Nick Davis’ demotion after that match, (which has since dominated the Sydney media), the Swans returned to some semblance of the side that won them last year’s flag, playing committed, uncompromising football to rip the Tigers apart in the third quarter on their away to a 14. 17 (101) to 7.11 (53) win.

Clubs Wait On CBA Deal

Submitted on Sun, 07/23/2006 - 7:35 PM EDT

CBA First, Clubs Second

The league will not commit to the annual dividend sum for the 16 clubs until negotiations are concluded with the AFLPA over the new CBA, which is now expected to be a done deal by the end of July. It is believed the clubs were pushing for a $32 million disbursement, but may get half or less that sum.

 

As for the CBA negotiations, it is likely the AFLPA will get the pay raises it wanted over the next 5 years. The pay raises will be incremental with a 7% raise in 2007 and 2008, then 5%, 4%, and 4% over the following 3 years. The players' retirement

West Coast Scrape Home, Again

by Tim Stone reporting for AFANA @ Subiaco, WA

And didn’t they get their moneys worth...

AFL Preview Round 16 Season of 2006

Last Week: 7 from 8 – Total 80/120 (66.6%)

Not a bad effort lat week but I must admit I am a bit savage about missing the 8 correct. It was either Fremantle or Collingwood that let me down and I’m thinkin’ Freo. They lose when you tip them to win and they win when you tip them to lose. A very inconsistent team. How did you all go? I made up one extra point on the leader who is 3 ahead with 7 rounds to go. Another point made up this week would make it interesting.

Until Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs ran out onto their respective grounds on Sunday the tips were looking good. I’d even given you all a boost with the selection of Richmond to beat the Power.
