The more I watched it the more I realised the Wallabies simply didn’t let the French play. A clinical and useful gameplan with the 3Ns around the corner. A few laughs at the end.

You hear the phrase “spotted him up” often, and variations on it, when watching AFL games. It is a phrase that in isolation would be very difficult to understand. So, what does it mean? It is an abbreviated way of saying that the player who has the ball has seen his teammate who is in [...]

More AFL clubs might change coaches from the start of the ‘09 season to the start of the ‘10 season than we have seen in…well, longer than my memory. Already two changes have been made, and we are only half way through the season. So, who will be coaching where in 2010? Here are the [...]
