Round 14
Collingwood blast Bombers by six goals
6th-straight win for Magpies
Collingwood
15.12-102
Essendon 9.13-67
Collingwood key forward Travis Cloke found his best form of the
season as the Magpies stretched their winning streak to six with a
35-point AFL victory over Essendon at the MCG on Friday night before a
bumper crowd of 77,699.
Cloke kicked four goals and set up numerous others, one of a host of
positive signs for the Magpies who surged away after a slow start.
It was Cloke's biggest haul of the season so far, bettering the three he
kicked against Fremantle last round, in an upward form curve that will
delight Collingwood given he is one of their most important players.
Ruckman Josh Fraser was another star for the `Pies, dominating
the hit-outs and kicking a fine snapped goal in the third term after
gathering the ball in the ruck.
He would have enjoyed the comprehensive victory he had in his duel with
Essendon counterpart Paddy Ryder, who won the Anzac Day Medal as
best afield when the sides last met.
Also pleasing for Collingwood was the continued superb form of
midfielders Alan Didak and Dane Swan.
Didak in particular has struck a purple patch over the last month,
continually racking up 30-plus possessions and using the ball to great
effect, an effort he repeated with 35 touches against the Bombers.
The win sets up another big clash against the Western Bulldogs next
Friday night at Docklands, with the Magpies and Bulldogs the
competition's two form sides apart from runaway leaders St Kilda and
Geelong.

Second team
fickle Sydney is getting one! |
AFL chief Andrew
Demetriou has admitted Sydney isn't ready for a second team, but the
city is getting one anyway.
That's according to Swans coach Paul Roos, who has revealed
details of a conversation he had with Demetriou on the subject this
week.
Speaking at the new Blacktown Olympic Park AFL-cricket facility on
Friday, Demetriou said the AFL commission required evidence of the new
team's capacity to excel in forty areas.
They will have to establish a strong fan base of supporters and
potential members, build strong support levels from business partners,
connect with the community and develop an identity that reflects and is
owned by the people of the region.
Demetriou said a Community Advisory Group would gather information for
the next nine or 10 months.
"We would hope by next February-March to be in a position, having
discussed and consulted with our clubs along the way with some of the
progress reports, that we would be in a position to decide on a
license," Demetriou said.
Roos says Demetriou also told him that establishing a second AFL club in
Blacktown in 2012 will hopefully help the new team and also the Swans
build the code in the fickle Sydney market.

Cats-Saints, player turnover
in past 5 years |
I have been perusing the player lists of the clubs for both 2004 and
2009, using the AFLs Annual Record.
Geelong has retained 21 of its 2004 list; St Kilda has retained 17.
That means there has been more turnover in the five-year period at
St Kilda than at Geelong.
Here are the teams that met at Kardinia Park for the Rd 18 clash
between these two clubs. That was the clash which captured the
medias attention the star clubs of the remainder of the decade.
Geelong won the match by seven points it was a gripping encounter
and warranted generous praise for the quality it provided.

The Cats are relying on a larger
core of players who have been with the club for a long time. The
Saints have turned over their list a lot more, although that doesnt
mean they have fresh legs. While the Cats have Ottens with a large
number of games under his belt at Punt Road, and Mooney and Harley
with a handful only, the Saints have added a heap of experience,
including Schneider, King, Dempster, Gardiner and Ray.
Historically, teams with a large core of players who have been
together for a long time tend to be more successful. We will only
really know the answer at the end of September.

Perspective |
   
 |
Has anyone ever flicked between the
AFL and the NRL on TV and taken notice of the sound levels?
The background sound at the AFL is a pleasant muffled roar with subtle peaks as
the crowd responds to incidents in the play. The commentary is clearly audible
at all times.
Switching to the NRL there is a background din that sounds like you are atop a
galvanized iron tank containing a few dozen drunks yelling and banging with dull
instruments. The commentary is often barely audible and at times indecipherable
from the background racket.
Does the broadcaster imagine the target audience is too stupefied to notice or
is it at the direction of the NRL to convince the sponsor that there is actually
someone at the match?
Hyperbole aside, do the exercise of switching back and forth between the two
broadcasts and you'll see what I mean. |

Round 14 selections
Blues selectors make five changes
Stevens and Scotland among casualties
Davis and Pendlebury back for Magpies
Carlton have dumped star
midfielder Nick Stevens among at least five changes for Sunday's
match against Fremantle at Subiaco Oval.
Stevens and Heath Scotland were the two biggest casualties of the
Blues' second half capitulation against Essendon last Friday night.
Jordan Bannister and Steven Browne were also dropped and
defender Paul Bower forced out with a knee injury from the 25-man squad,
from which three more players must be omitted.
Key backman Bret Thornton, who has missed the club's past two
games with a hamstring injury, was among the inclusions.
The Dockers have been hurt by the loss of skipper Matthew Pavlich
with a calf strain, while they have suspended Dean Solomon after
he went out drinking with Essendon's Mark McVeigh last weekend.
Collingwood named classy midfielder Scott Pendlebury to make a
quick return from injury in Friday night's bumper clash with Essendon at
the MCG.
Another midfield star Leon Davis will also return from illness to
boost the Magpies, who are on a five-game winning streak.
Pendlebury missed last weekend's big win over Fremantle with a knee
injury sustained against Sydney in the previous round, which initially
looked likely to sideline him for much longer, however he came through a
fitness test on Thursday.
Shannon Cox and Chris Dawes were dropped.
The Bombers were hit by the loss of ball-winning midfielder Jobe
Watson, who injured his ankle in the first half against Carlton.
Key defender Adam McPhee returns from a calf injury in their only
change.
Brisbane have thrown another chance to midfielder Travis Johnstone.
After Lions coach Michael Voss challenged the veteran to win back his
spot in the side, Johnstone responded to force Jason Roe out of
the line-up for Saturday's away clash with Port Adelaide.
It was the only change to the team which thrashed Melbourne by 55 points
at the Gabba last weekend.
St Kilda left veteran key defender Max Hudghton out of their
25-man squad for Sunday's huge clash with Geelong at Docklands after
sustaining an ankle injury against Richmond last round.
Despite Hudghton's loss, Matt Maguire was not able to squeeze his
way into the squad.
The Cats have lost small defender David Johnson with a calf
injury.
Reigning premiers Hawthorn responded to last round's loss to West Coast
with four changes for Saturday night's meeting with the Western Bulldogs
at Docklands Stadium.
Forward Mark Williams was forced out with a knee injury, but
young trio Beau Muston, Ryan Schoenmakers and Brendan
Whitecross were dropped.
Premiership defender Stephen Gilham was among the inclusions, for
just his second game of the season.
The Bulldogs replaced Daniel Giansiracusa (knee) with Sam Reid.
Bottom-placed Melbourne left out No.1 draft pick Jack Watts, who has
been ill, for Saturday's MCG meeting with West Coast, his first time out
of the side since his Queen's Birthday debut.
Demons captain James McDonald, Matthew Bate, Mark Jamar
and Paul Wheatley are all back from injury or illness.
The Eagles lost star midfielder Daniel Kerr (soreness).
Sydney named key duo Craig Bolton and Jarrad McVeigh in
their squad for their must-win clash with North Melbourne at the SCG on
Sunday.
Bolton has overcome a knee injury, while McVeigh has recovered from a
shoulder problem, with Barry Hall forced out by suspension.
Adelaide included key forward Shaun McKernan, the younger brother
of former North Melbourne dual premiership player Corey McKernan,
for his AFL debut against Richmond on the Gold Coast on Saturday night.
The Crows dropped young forward Taylor Walker and have lost
ruckman Brad Moran to a long-term knee injury Yahoo Sport
Jim Stynes steps back for time to battle cancer
Melbourne AFL great Jim Stynes is battling
cancer and will take time out from his role as president of the club to
fight the disease.
Stynes, 43, first discovered a lump in his back three weeks ago.
Yahoo! Sport detailed that tests showed the lump was cancerous
and that the disease had spread to other parts of his body.
"I need to put all my energies into getting my body right and to heal,"
Stynes told a media conference on Thursday.
"I'm not stepping down from Melbourne but I will be taking a break I
will have to take the rest of the season off."
Flanked by his wife Sam, Demons chief executive Cameron Schwab
and vice-president Don McLardy, Stynes said he would go into
hospital as soon as possible to begin therapy. McLardy will take over as
acting president until the end of the season.
Irish-born Stynes came to Australia in the mid-1980s and went on to have
a decorated VFL-AFL career. He played 264 games with Melbourne and won
the 1991 Brownlow Medal and is a member of the AFL Hall of Fame.
Stynes took over as Demons president 12 months ago when Paul Gardner
stepped down. He has also won great admiration for his work with the
Reach Foundation a youth charity he set up.
Stynes, who has two children, has been named Victorian of the Year and
won an Order of Australia Medal for his work with the charity.
AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said all those involved in
the football industry were united in their wish to support Stynes in his
battle against illness.
"Jim is one of the most respected people in football and across the
community and the best wishes of the AFL and all football supporters go
out to him, his wife Sam and his family at this time," said Demetriou.
"The tireless job Jim has done in transforming the Melbourne Football
Club and bringing together the club's supporter base has been incredible
and I know football fans from across all clubs will pledge their support
for him.
"We wish Jim a speedy recovery from his illness."
Launceston
fans left in the cold for August 8 game
Footy fans braved
the chill and rain of the early morning hours in Launceston on Wednesday
to queue to buy seats for the Hawthorn-St Kilda match to be played on
August 8 at York Park.
Footystats identity Leonard Colquhoun complained that all seats
had gone by the time he was 20 from the booth.
Thursday's Examiner reported about 200 St Kilda fans were told
soon after sales began that there were no seats left.
Fans said for a couple of months both the AFL and Ticketmaster websites
had been directing them to Launceston's Ticketmaster outlet at the
Princess Theatre from 9am on Wednesday.
Other fans were unsuccessful in attempting to get tickets online.
Shortly after tickets went on sale a message on the Ticketmaster website
said: "Allocation is currently exhausted."
The top crowd to attend an AFL game at York Park is 20,971 for the
mid-season clash in 2006 between Hawthorn and Richmond.
   
Defender
Graham Johncock has signed a two-year contract extension with
Adelaide.
The 26-year-old's decision to stay on comes days after the Crows
announced new contracts with a host of younger players, including
Bernie Vince, Andy Otten and Taylor Walker.

Dockers drop Solomon after session with McVeigh
Fremantle's Dean Solomon has paid the price for partnering
Essendon's Mark McVeigh in a marathon drinking session, with the
Dockers imposing a one-game AFL ban on the former Bomber.
The Age reports it is believed Solomon and his good friend
McVeigh were drinking at a South Melbourne hotel until the early hours
of Monday morning.
But while McVeigh was slapped with a one-game suspension for missing a
compulsory training session, Solomon, who had been given permission to
remain in Melbourne for an extra day following the Dockers' loss to
Collingwood, fulfilled all of his obligations with Fremantle upon his
return to Perth.
However, the Dockers deemed Solomon's actions "detracted from his
preparation" for Sunday's clash with Carlton at Subiaco Oval.

since retiring.
Several weeks ago, Stynes

Brett Kirk says
Swans undecided on Hall's future |
Sydney co-captain Brett
Kirk has told teammate Barry Hall his actions are
unacceptable and says the Swans are undecided on the troubled forward's
playing future.
Hall, 32, accepted a two-match ban from the AFL Tribunal for striking
Adelaide fullback Ben Rutten last weekend.
"His actions have shown a lot of difference to what he has spoken about.
So that's something he needs to take responsibility for," Kirk said
yesterday.
"He is ultimately who has to change his pattern of behaviour and he
needs to do something about it."
Asked if Hall would play again for the Swans this season Kirk said:
"That's not my decision. That's the process the club's going through at
the moment."
Coach Paul Roos said on Monday he had strong doubts whether Hall
wanted to continue playing in the AFL in the wake of the Rutten
incident.

David Mundy: into the record books
Fremantle's
David Mundy, who has been very much the quiet achiever in
Dockerland, reaches his 100th consecutive game
on Sunday against Carlton.
The Fremantle website has detailed the event which enters the records.
Apart from being an important milestone, there is also an historical
element to Mundy's 100th game.
He will become the eighth only player in VFL-AFL history to play 100
consecutive games from debut.
Mundy joins an impressive group that includes:
Jared Crouch (Sydney): 194, 1998-2006
John Murphy (Fitzroy): 158, 1967-74
Dick Taylor (Melbourne): 127, 1922-29
Steven Wallis (Footscray): 113, 1983-87
Allan Woodley
(Hawthorn): 110, 1954-1959
Shane Woewodin (Melbourne): 107, 1997-01
Ian Law (Hawthorn): 100, 1960-65
At four years and 66 days, Mundy takes the mantle of being the Fremantle
player to reach 100 games from debut in the fastest time from Round 6 in
2005..
Previously that honour was held by Matthew Pavlich, who took four
years and 100 days, followed by:
Paul Hasleby four years, 115 days
Justin Longmuir five years
Aaron Sandilands - five years, 35 days
Shane Parker five years, 42 days
James Walker five years, 239 days
Daniel Bandy six years, one day
   
With
around 10,000 seats still left, the Collingwood-Essendon match will
remain on 8.30pm delay for Melbourne viewers.
As noted by Sam Edmund in Melbourne's Herald Sun under
the current broadcast contract, Channel Seven has the right to go live
for any Friday night game, regardless of whether or not the match is
sold out.
But the network said yesterday it would not broadcast the match from
7.30pm.

Brendan Fevola has declared himself a starter for Sunday
afternoon's match against the Dockers at Subiaco. Last Saturday Fevola
had surgery to correct bone and ligament damage to his little left

Blues act on
"disgraceful" allegations
John Elliott banished by Carlton
Carlton have accused former president John
Elliott of disgracing the AFL club over his assertion the Blues paid
hush money to women who claimed they were raped by players.
The Age reported the Blues have also banished Elliott from the
club following the remarks he made at a Hobart lunch recently, when he
alleged Carlton had paid off women to prevent them speaking over claims
they were raped by players during the 1980s and `90s.
Elliott, who presided over the club from 1983-2002, later reiterated his
comments on a television show.
Elliott was interviewed by police over his comments, but has refused to
elaborate publicly on his allegations.
Carlton have remained silent since Elliott made the remarks, but
conducted an investigation which included interviewing former chief
executives Ian Collins and Stephen Gough and other past
administrators.
The Blues are adamant Elliott's allegations are untrue.
Current president Stephen Kernahan broke the club's public
silence on Tuesday, saying he is bewildered by the remarks and finds
them "disgraceful".
"As far as we are aware there is no basis to John's allegations, so why
he made them only he can say," said Kernahan, a Carlton player from
1986-97 and captain from 1987 until his retirement.
"We have noted that he has since publicly claimed to know nothing about
these alleged payments.
"These comments and his ongoing behaviour have impacted negatively on
everyone who is associated with this club during his time as president.
"Having then trivialised the matter is appalling and while he does not
represent this club, there is no doubt he has disgraced the Carlton
Football Club and in doing so slurred everyone connected with Carlton.
"We all have to take responsibility for our comments and actions and
everyone at Carlton members, supporters, officials, players, coaches,
past players, indeed the entire Carlton family have been insulted by
John's comments and actions.
"As a result, while John harbours such opinions he will not be welcome
at the club and he will not be permitted to attend any official Carlton
Football Club functions."

Match Review
Panel Round 13
Sydney accept two weeks for Hall
Sydney
forward Barry Hall will miss the next two AFL games after
pleading guilty to striking Adelaide's Ben Rutten.
Hall will miss games against North Melbourne and Essendon after the
Swans accepted the penalty offered him by the MRP, following his
brain-fade in Saturday's match at Football Park.
Yahoo! Sport note the latest suspension takes to 26 the number of
games Hall has missed through suspension, easily the highest of any
current player.
The 32-year-old's future with the Swans remains uncertain given his run
of discipline issues over the past two seasons, and even coach Paul
Roos doubted on Monday whether Hall wanted to continue playing
football.
However, Hall reportedly insists he has no plans for a mid-season
retirement.
North Melbourne's Drew Petrie accepted a reprimand for striking
Western Bulldogs captain Brad Johnson at the MCG last Sunday, but
can play the Swans at the SCG on Sunday.
Richmond's Trent Cotchin also accepted a reprimand, for striking
St Kilda's Jarryn Geary at Docklands last Sunday night, but can
play Adelaide on the Gold Coast on Saturday night.
The trio's guilty pleas means the tribunal again were not required to
convene.
The following charges from Round 13 were laid:
ADELAIDE v SYDNEY
Barry Hall (Syd), charged with a Level Three striking offence
against Ben Rutten (Ade) in Q3.
Hall's poor record means that his penalty is increased to a three-game
suspension, or with an early plea he can accept a two-match punishment.
The incident was assessed
as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and high
contact (two points). This is a total of six activation points,
resulting in a classification of a Level Three offence, drawing 225
demerit points and a two-match sanction. He has a total of eight matches
suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 50 per
cent to 337.50 points. He also has 57.50 points carried over from within
the last 12 months, increasing the penalty to 395 points and a
three-match sanction. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent
to 296.25 points and a two-match sanction.
The Sydney club
accepted the early plea. Hall admitted guilt and accepted the MRP
penalty of a two-match suspension.
NORTH MELBOURNE v WESTERN BULLDOGS
Drew Petrie (NM), charged with a Level Two striking offence
against Brad Johnson, Western Bulldogs in Q1.
Petrie was offered a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future
record with an early plea.
The incident was assessed
as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point) and body
contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points,
resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 125
demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has no good or bad record.
An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and
93.75 points towards Petrie's future record.
Petrie admitted guilt and accepted the MRP penalty of a reprimand.
ST KILDA v RICHMOND
Trent Cotchin (Rch), charged with a Level Two striking offence
against Jarryn Geary, St Kilda in Q3.
Cotchin was offered a
reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
The incident was
assessed as intentional conduct (three points), low impact (one point)
and body contact (one point). This is a total of five activation points,
resulting in a classification of a Level Two offence, drawing 125
demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has no good or bad record.
An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and
93.75 points towards Cotchin's future record.
Cotchin admitted
guilt and accepted the MRP penalty of a reprimand.
Other incidents assessed:
Jesse White (Syd)
for striking Bernie Vince (Ade) was assessed. The MRP noted that
Whites hand made contact with Vinces knee as the Adelaide player
kicked the ball. The contact caused Whites hand to ricochet upwards,
making accidental high contact. No further action was taken.
Heath Grundy (Syd) for striking Nathan Bock (Ade) was
assessed. The MRP noted that Grundys open hand clipped Bocks face as
the Adelaide player marked the ball. The action was not seen as a
striking motion and was deemed to be an attempt to spoil the mark. No
further action was taken.
Jordan Lewis (Haw) for engaging in rough conduct against Adam
Selwood (WCE) was assessed. Lewis had his eyes on the ball at all
times through his action and made slight high contact as both players
reached down to contest the ball. The panel said that Lewis had no
realistic alternative way to contest the ball. No further action was
taken.
Port re-sign Mark Williams as coach |
|
As late as 9.30pm on Monday night, Mark Williams genuinely doubted he
would be retained as coach of Port Adelaide.
At the end of what has amounted to a six-month re-application for the
job under the watchful eyes of new chief executive Mark Haysman
and president Brett Duncanson, Williams was none the wiser until
Duncanson knocked on his door to inform him of his retention.
The Power's board met for nine hours before concluding that Williams
remained the best man for the job, and at the best price, having
accepted he would take a significant pay cut to help the club through
choppy financial waters.
Duncanson said Williams remained the best and most likely man to coach
the Power to their next AFL premiership.
Williams said he now realised that doing more with less was the reality
for Port, but also indicated he had doubted the club's future until
AFLSANFL intervention this year.
There is little doubt the club will be a more comfortable working
environment now the direction for the next two years has been
established, and may provide the Power with the momentum they need to
lift from a mediocre 6-7 into a finals berth.
"We've all danced around `is there an effect', but there's an effect,
there's definitely been an effect," said Williams, who took the club to
the 2004 premiership, six years after replacing foundation Power coach

Round 13
Tayte Pears (Essendon) |
Essendon defender
Tayte Pears has been rewarded for his excellent shut-down job on
Brendan Fevola with the Round 13 nomination for the AFL Rising Star
Award.
Pears gathered 21 possessions in the 69-point win over Carlton on Friday
night, while limiting Fevola to just two goals.
The 19-year-old Pears has played on some of the league's best key
forwards in 2009 including Daniel Bradshaw, Jarryd Roughead,
Justin Koschitzke and Matthew Pavlich.
After starring for Western Australia in the 2007 Under-18 national
championships, he was selected by the Bombers with pick #23 in that
year's national draft.
Pears is Essendon's second Rising Star nominee this year, following
David Zaharakis nomination earlier in the year.

premiership in 1932, decided to move on.
The former Richmond secretary Percy Page became secretary of the
Melbourne FC and lured "Checker" across the park to
the MCG with the promise of a job in a printing
factory.
So the Tigers advertised the position of the 'non playing coach' in
The Argus on January 28, 1933.
Former Richmond VFA and VFL player Billy Schmidt (he also played
with St Kilda) won the position and took the club to
the 1933 Grand Final, but they lost to South
Melbourne. It was Schmidt's only season as coach.
One suspects there will be much wider press coverage as Richmond
strive to find their 40th League coach for season
2010.

A
late-night drinking session with former teammate Dean Solomon is
believed to be behind Essendon midfielder Mark McVeigh being axed
for Friday night's blockbuster against Collingwood.
Jesse Hogan reports in The Age: Bombers coach Matthew
Knights made a dramatic statement by dumping McVeigh, who many
thought the most likely candidate to be the Bombers' next captain, after
he missed a compulsory training session on Monday.
It is believed McVeigh and Solomon who played for Fremantle against
Collingwood on Saturday were drinking at South Melbourne's Star Bar
hotel until at least 3 o'clock on Monday morning, having earlier been
drinking at the Hotel Barkly in St Kilda.
It
didn't come yesterday, so the party for Barry Hall's departure
from the Swans is on stand-by. The sausages are in the fridge and the
boxing gloves are wrapped and waiting at the front door.

Match Review
Panel Round 13
Three players charged
Hall offered two games with early plea
Reprimands for Petrie and Cotchin
Controversial Sydney key forward Barry Hall is one of three
players to be charged after the review of the weekend's AFL matches by
the Match Review Panel.
Yahoo! Sport reports Hall can accept a two-game ban if he takes
an early plea for striking Adelaide fullback Ben Rutten.
North Melbourne utility Drew Petrie and Richmond onballer
Trent Cotchin can accept reprimands for their level-two striking
offences.
Petrie was charged with striking Western Bulldogs captain Brad
Johnson, while Cotchin made contact with St Kilda's Jarryn Geary.
Petrie and Cotchin will have 93.75 carryover points if they accept their
penalties.
Hall is risking a three-game ban if he goes to the tribunal, while
Petrie and Cotchin would receive one-game suspensions if they take their
cases to Tuesday's tribunal and lose.
The MRP also decided to take no further action over match-day reports
against Sydney pair Heath Grundy and Jesse White, Hawthorn
midfielder Jordan Lewis, West Coast onballer Andrew Embley
and Port Adelaide's Peter Burgoyne.
They said it
Paul Roos, Sydney coach
Hall's career may be over |
|
Frustrated Sydney Swans
coach Paul Roos strongly doubts Barry Hall has the desire
to keep playing in the AFL and wants him to consider retirement.
Greg Buckle for Fox Sports noted Hall has landed one
on-field punch too many, with the controversial key forward likely to
accept a two-match ban for striking Adelaide fullback Ben Rutten on
Saturday.
But even before the match review panel announced that penalty on Monday,
Roos had made some pointed public comments about Hall's future.
"I'm not sure whether he wants to play footy, I guess that's where I'm
at as a coach in terms of Hally," Roos said on Monday.
"I seriously doubt whether he does.
"Players can always choose to retire ... we saw Mick (O'Loughlin)
retire the other week.
"As you get towards the end of your career you can lose the drive, lose
the desire and all those sorts of things.
"If he feels like he's no longer interested in playing for us as a footy
club and playing AFL footy, we're certainly open to those discussions."

Knee injury flattens Daniel Giansiracusa for six
The Western Bulldogs have suffered a significant
injury blow, with Daniel Giansiracusa sidelined for up to six AFL
matches.
Yahoo! Sport reports Giansiracusa underwent arthroscopic surgery on
Monday to repair damage to his right knee. He suffered the damage during
Sunday's win over North Melbourne, where the utility kicked two key
last-term goals.
Giansiracusa was in career-best form, but had to leave the field early in
Sunday's match. He needed treatment before returning to the field.
It has been a big weekend for injuries, with Fremantle captain Matthew
Pavlich undergoing scans on Monday afternoon for a calf muscle injury.
Pavlich is out of action for at least two matches.
Also, erratic Carlton full-forward Brendan Fevola could miss Sunday's
match against the Dockers because of a finger operation. The club has
revealed Fevola needed minor surgery on Saturday for ligament damage in his
left little finger.
Fevola had the operation the day after Essendon smashed the Blues by 69
points.
Carlton defender Paul Bower is also out of action for two to four
weeks after suffering a knee injury in the Essendon loss. Scans have
revealed a medial ligament strain.
In better news for the Blues, fellow backman Bret Thornton is set to
return from a hamstring injury.

Elliott denies life membership may be revoked |
|
John Elliott last
night denied his life membership at Carlton was in jeopardy over his
claims that the club paid hush money to up to five women who alleged
they were raped by Blues players during his presidency.
As a police investigation continues into Elliott's assertions, which
have been denied by former club chief executives Ian Collins and
Stephen Gough, Carlton's current hierarchy has remained silent on
the matter. The Age understands, however, that the club which
has received considerable correspondence from supporters complaining
about its lack of comment on the issue is preparing to make a
statement once it has completed its own investigations into the matter.
Since sparking the controversy, Elliott has had revoked an invitation to
a lunch organised by past players to mark the 30th anniversary of the
1979 premiership he was due to appear on a panel but Elliott
believes his life-member status is safe

Eagles quick to re-contract Nic
West Coast's new
cult hero Nic Naitanui has penned a new AFL deal with the
Eagles, along with defenders Mitch Brown and Eric Mackenzie.
Naitanui became an instant hit among Eagles fans when he was drafted
with pick No.2 last year.
The 19-year-old impressed in his debut against Richmond in round 12 but
took things to a whole different level against the Hawks last Saturday
night, kicking three final-quarter goals to guide West Coast to an upset
20-point victory.
Naitanui, a 201cm ruckman, is being groomed to eventually take over from
four-times All-Australian Dean Cox as the club's leading tap
specialist Fox Sports

Not scoring in two quarters, but still won |
The unbeaten St Kilda at quarter-time on Sunday found itself goalless
against Richmond which set MWB delving back into the records. Martin
found just one occurrence where a team failed to
score in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but still won!

What
is it about Round 14? |
As we are all aware, there
has never in the 113 season history of the VFLAFL been a situation
where two teams have been undefeated so far into the season. Sunday's
game is therefore unprecedented there have even been grand finals that
have not held the imagination as this game does; but then after all this
game is just for four premiership points, and one less club will be
undefeated after round 14 ... hang on that sounds familiar ...
While looking at Rogers Results on the best starts of the season I was
struck at the difference between the 13 games and 14 games lists.
There are now six teams who have been undefeated after 13 rounds, but
there are currently only two teams who were undefeated after 14, next
week (in the absence of a draw between St Kilda and Geelong) there will
be three. What is it about round 14, specifically in the mid 1950s?
Geelong by the end of round 13 1953 had created a new record of
consecutive wins, and were preparing to face the club they had taken
that record from (Collingwood), and by the end of round 13 in 1956
Melbourne were into their era of greatness which was to extend into the
60s, and looking to play the club that had defeated them in the grand
final two years earlier (Footscray). It is history now that Collingwood
ended Geelong's great run from 1952-3 and went on to beat Geelong in the
1953 grand final, and that Footscray gave Melbourne their first loss for
the season.
West Coast's first loss in 1991 was against Carlton ... in round 14.
Maybe Michael can create a list of teams' latest first defeats in the
season, Currently there are two teams on round 14, with one joining them
this weekend.
Interesting to note that the Western Bulldogs this season could emulate
their 1956 predecessors and affect a potentially undefeated side; for no
matter who loses on Sunday, both St Kilda and Geelong are scheduled to
play the Bulldogs before the end of the season (St Kilda in Round 17,
Geelong in round 21) both games at Docklands.
Essendon's only loss in 2000 was to the Western Bulldogs.
Collingwood in 1929 is still the only team to run undefeated through the
home and away season ... at the moment ... |
   
 |
|
|
After 13 rounds in 2009 the
defending Premiers, Hawthorn find themselves outside of a finals berth
position on the ladder. Can they recover from this and go on to defend their
Premiership?
Here is an historical perspective on how other teams have faired in a
similar situation in earlier seasons. |

There
will be some, including myself who will breath a sigh of relief when the
charge against Sydney's
Barry Hall is finalised today.
Many suspect Hall has already played his last match with the Swans and
will be happy to close the book and get on with re-building the playing
group.
Hall, like many before him, will be remembered for not producing the
potential he was capable.

Coaches
Cats secure Thompson for another two years
Knights to get another three seasons at Windy Hill
Port to decide on Williams tonight
Two more coaches have secured their futures with
Geelong at the weekend inking Mark Thompson to two more
seasons until the end of 2011.
Caroline Wilson writes in The Age today that Essendon
are poised to reward coach Matthew Knights with a pay rise in
2010 and a new contract, which will tie the 38-year-old to Windy
Hill until the end of 2012.
The Age understands the Bombers' board had empowered club
chief executive Peter Jackson to open negotiations this week
for a new deal with Knights even before last Friday night's
thrashing of Carlton.
Meanwhile, in the Geelong Advertiser, Gerard Whateley
reports that Mark Williams has articulated his desire to the
Port Adelaide hierarchy to remain as coach and the board may make
their decision as early as tonight.
   
   
Sydney's
Barry Hall is expected to be under scrutiny when the Match Review
Panel sits down in Melbourne today to review the reports made by umpires
and incidents noted by officials captured on video across the eight
matches.
Key to the future of Hall is his jab to the chin of his Adelaide
opponent Ben Rutten which is likely to result in another lengthy
suspension and raises further questions about his playing future beyond
this year.
And as The Australian notes the Rutten clash may not be the only
one the MRP looks at. Television commentators noted during the game that
Hall could come under further scrutiny for several other incidents in
the game at Football Park on Saturday afternoon.

It has never been officially referred to as 'Australian rules
football'. Such terminology has only ever appeared in the form of
football journalism, coined by different writers.
AFL refers to the elite Australian football competition known as the
Australian Football League. |
