Re: AFL 2019

I dont understand why dont they make it so any time the ball goes between the goal posts, just award a goal whether it is off the boot, hand or rushed through. Will save a lot of confusion, controversy and waiting time. Make the game more interesting.

Re: 2019 iSport Players Aust WNPL Team of the Year

thing with these so called team of the year selections, never all going to agree, you could ask all 8 wnpl coaches, and i bet they all come up with a different eleven players.
Surely Adelaide City coach would be the coach, they finished way ahead of the rest.
