THERE’S A CAT STUCK UP A TREE!!! It wouldn’t be a fair dinkum grand final week without some old fashioned espionage!

Admittedly, I’m late on doing a write-up for this, but I was holding out in the event that there were more retirements announced so that I could maybe wrap them all up in one. Since no answers have emerged as to the fate of Scott Burns in particular, I’ll pay tribute to the two players who have conf ...

The first Monday following the final round of the AFL season is renowned for some crazy antics from eight clubs worth of tired, emotional and thirsty footballers. Take Brendan Fevola, for example, who was spotted in Federation Square in Melbourne wearing a pink nighty, complete with sex toy penis da ...

Heath Shaw bullshitting his way through yesterday’s press conference… It’s another AFL footballer behaving badly story…with a wicked but not entirely unpredictable twist to add to the ’surely, you can’t be serious’ file!
