It is not often in any sport that you get treated to an almost perfect clinical performance by a team. When you consider the team consists of 18 players on the field with a further six available for interchange, it is even more remarkable. Brisbane were very clinical ten years ago when they put together three successive premierships. Geelong looks set to repeat the performance. When comparing the records of the two teams, Geelong are probably more clinical, they are certainly winning by...
Disgraced AFL star Ben Cousins has had a very rude return to earth this week as every door that had opened to his return to senior football slowly closed in front of him. The rot started earlier in the week when St Kilda decided not to select him. Brisbane Lions followed suit by turning him down.

The Western Bulldogs played it hard in the first half and then came out in the second half and simply shamed the Sydney side. Sydney had no answers with all their star players well held or simply failing to fire. The bulldogs on the other hand seem to have woken from their end of season doldrums. Many of their players discover...
There are time when you can just throw the form guides out the window and use a pin. Others will sit down and try to analyse where the form guide went wrong. In the Australian Rugby League finals, the NZ Warriors were expected to be eliminated in the first weekend. After all, they had a poor record coming into the finals. They have brushed aside that form and so far defeated two of the top four teams and are now one win away from the grand final showdown. What has everyone puzzled is...
