The 2016 AFL Lines – Round 6
Greg has hit his straps for 2016 while Cliff is still complaining about sides not adhering to trends which have stood the test of the previous four seasons. The more things change, the more they stay the same as we head into Round 6.
The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 8

From The Couch: Round 8
The Wests Tigers Turn It Up: The rightly-maligned Jason Taylor Era effectively came to an end on Saturday night when his players cut him loose by turning in one of the most putrid performances this author can recall. It was a clear slap in the face to Taylor, who wasn’t even given the duty […]
The 2016 AFL Lines – Round 5
Cliff is getting sick of sides not adhering to trends which have stood the test of the previous four seasons, Greg is delighting in the failures of Collingwood and Essendon – which is poignant as they clash in Round 5…
From The Couch: Round 7
Vale, Penalty Try: In another decision made unilaterally by the refereeing fraternity, the penalty try has been laid to rest, next to the send off with the sin bin not far behind it.

The boys both posted a profit last week and are approaching parity for the season to date. Can the boys get into the black for 2016 via Round 4?
From The Couch: Round 6

The 2016 Willie M Medal: Round 6
We have a new leader after six rounds of the 2016 season with Cowboys rake Rory Kostjasyn hitting the front. For reasons only known to Paul Green, Kostjasyn has been starting with Jake Granville saved for the backend of the first half. It has done the Cowboys no favours.
The 2016 AFL Lines – Round 3
Round 2 saw a few falls from grace – not least for Cliff Bingham, who posted a donut for the first (and hopefully last) time this season. Can he and Greg Oberscheidt get back into the black by the end of Round 3?
