"The West Coast Eagles have today finalised two key signings expected to have a significant impact on the club’s quest to scale up the AFL premiership table.

Champion on-baller Daniel Kerr has committed to the club on an extended contract while former Collingwood captain Scott Burns will join the club as an assistant coach at the end of the month."

1) Will you now all please SHUT UP about Kerr leaving the Eagles and

2) Whaddya think about Burns becoming an assistant coach at the Eagles?

With Vossy already a distant memory of what might have been, who is the money on for filling his position at the Eagles?

Well, was anyone expecting the news today about Leigh Matthews?

I can no longer watch a whole program. What is it supposed to be now? Humourous? Topical? Insightful? The serious sections are just becoming stupid, the funny sections are now hardly risible. Trevor Marmalade? Does he have shares in the company, because he adds less than nothing. No-one knows what to do with Sam. They can't keep him, but they can't get rid of him. Despite being "on the inside" Bradshaw and Lyons provide no valuable insight into what their clubs are up to. And all the panellists do is recite who is in, who's out and usually a less than insightful reason as to who might win. And in between they just provide lots of coverage for their sponsors. Is this the Footy Show or a Foxtel ad?

Has this old dog had its day? Is it time to put it down?

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I reckon that we get scrutinised for any bad behaviour more than any other club. And Sydney (being a "target market" for a new franchise) get away with blue murder compared to any other club.

Did you know that the Tribunal News menu option disappeared from the AFL official website for about 5 weeks after the first Hall incident, and then magically reappeared once the issue had died down. Cover up? "De-emphasis"? Well, it made me think.

In admitting to play acting falling over (in response to big bad Baz's latest attempt to knock someone out) to try and get a free-kick, Wakelin stated what some supporters already feel is taking place - players are trying to milk free kicks from the umpires.

Do we really want our game to turn into soccer?

Should such attempts to cheat be punished?

Or is it all part and parcel of the modern game.
