Rodger's Wrap Up - Round 7
I bet they wont do that again This week saw the gambling furore take a new turn as the AFL went all in and mercilessly implemented a dramatic clean out of corrupt coaches, officials and umpires from the ranks. First up against the wall when the revolution came was Matthew Primus, assistant coach at the Power. His abhorrent crime was being part of an eight person syndicate that placed a $20 ...
Rodger's Wrap Up - Round 6
We’re the pride of South Australia, kinda sorta
I was going to open this week with a song dedicated to the Adelaide Crows, but after looking up the lyrics for the ironically cheery Beatles ditty ‘Help’ I soon realised they were already spot on. So much so I sent them to the Crows management with a note suggesting that Neil Craig should sing them as the new club song for their increasingly...

Rodger's Wrap Up - Round 5
Anything the AFL can do, the NRL can do better
This week the NRL, or as it is better known the Naughty Rugby Lads, has once again stolen the thunder on the AFL – all thanks to Melbourne Storm in a teacup.

Rodger's Wrap Up - Round 4
Brendan Rolls the Dice, and other ludicrous titles for news articles It’s been a busy week filled with the fallout from the Malthouse Milne Mouth Off, The Tale of the Treacherously Tanked Tigers, Nick & Gibbo Hurtin’ Hammies with it all lightly dusted with Buddy’s Bit of Biffo - you would think the AFL brains trust were doing everything short of animal sacrifice to ward off any more negative...
Rodger's Wrap Up - Round 3
Eddie and the Magical Faraway Box It was a lovely warm autumn day in Melbourne, where Edward McGuire awoke to the news that in a strange faraway land called Adelaide there lived an evil group of wrong doers – the Crowpowers – who were building a strange magical box. This magical box had one purpose and one purpose only, to make it easier for the Crowpowers to defeat invading armies from the...
Rodgers Wrap Up - Round 2
The Carlton Booze The off season saw the departure of Professor Fevola from Carlton. The Fevinator had an illustrious career at Carlton – highlights include such magical moments as urinating on a nightclub door, donning a large phallus on drunken mad Monday celebrations, punching a bar patron in Ireland and being sent home, his affair with Lara Bingle, shamelessly flogging his range of hair...
Rodgers Wrap Up - Round 1
Welcome back for season 2010. For those of you that are new on the mailing list this year this is my slightly different take on the AFL that I do for my tipping competition - if you want to be removed then let me know. Please be aware reader discretion is advised as the wrap up may contain adult themes, violence, sexual references and drug use… and surprisingly not of all it is about Ben...
