    31 came off the wing and looks to have blocked / bumped front on and collected Jones in the head.

    Reid was right behind jones and seems to have been hit by Jones' head.

    Btw was one of the commentators from Marn Grook?

    [QUOTE=barry;708329]Rather than remove riverina zone of its that contentious . Why not just divi it up between swans and giants.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I don't think the Riverina should be overly contentious, the NRL is pretty strong there.

    And I'm more than happy with our zone and for GWS to have the Riverina . But if we have to lose a bit of our zone (e.g. the South Coast) to accommodate new zonings then I guess we'd have to cop that but realistically GWS should be able to get plenty of talent from the ACT and Western Sydney if they are serious about it.

    I just think the border towns and the "Deep South" below Wagga are pretty hard to argue as they are AFL dominated.

    I'd be interested to see the incident myself. Perhaps somebody who knows how to do those Tubechop thingies?

    I think academies are as much for player retention add anything else.hense why all of NSW should be included.

    The list of plays who have left GWS would be a top 8 side. They have a massive retention problem masked by recent good results.

    Yes, Gilbert McAdam: who I found quite entertaining, but other posters found less so. Though they probably weren't, it somehow sounded to me, that they were broadcasting from a card table on the halfway line.

    He was good at times, stating the bleeding obvious at others, making completely illogical comments at some stages (such as saying the Swans being 2 down on the bench in the last would have no impact on the team) and openly barracking for the Giants at others. I found him a bit tedious, and he said some stupid things - but I enjoy the amateur nature of the NEAFL coverage, its a pleasant change from the dribble we get to here from the majority of the AFL commentators.

    I appreciate the effort, but that doesn't seem to work?

    Worked fine for me - but I've had other tubechops not work either. Anyway go to neafl.com.au go to the 'live stream' replay and its at 2hr 27 minutes in

    I think this is true to an extent in that they allow NSW/QLD clubs at risk of the "go home factor" a way of guarding against that by building home grown lists.

    But I also think the development side and growing the player pool to accommodate a larger comp is the main reason.

    I'd question how much loyalty a kid from Albury will have to GWS. I have no doubt a kid from Campbelltown or Penrith that has come through their academy would have huge loyalty.

    It is in GWS's interest to develop and get Sydney kids on their list asap but right now there is no incentive to do so if they can just mine a ready made football district.

    We can debate this all day long but I think there is no way the GWS zone won't be addressed by the AFL, I just hope the system as a whole is not destroyed in a knee-jerk reaction. If idiots like Eddie had their way the whole thing would be abolished entirely

    That's not too far from the truth
