Harvey to go around again

St Kilda veteran, Robert Harvey, will embark on his 21st season after announcing that he will play on in 2008. It seemed that this year would be the 36 year old’s last season, being hampered by hamstring injuries but he is confident that he’s body will be able to cope with the physical nature of AFL for another year. After the retirements of veterans Fraser Gehrig and Andrew Thompson, Saints supporters will be pleased with Harvey’s announcment. It is understood that Harvey was encouraged to play on by St Kilda coach Ross Lyon. [Read more]

Trade week looms as Judd-gement day for Vic clubs

To coin a phrase from one of footballs most outspoken identities, ‘What a big week it has been in football!’ Who would know in the space of a week, we have had a tied semi-final between West Coast and Collingwood, the retirement of a Hawthorn veteran in Ben Dixon, the appointment of Mark Harvey as Fremantle senior coach, the naming of the 2007 All-Australian Squad, the resurgence of Victoria’s hopes of bringing the flag back to it’s home state, as well as two preliminary finals to look forward to! However, all of these footy stories have been overshadowed by arguably the biggest name to leave a club ever. [Read more]

2007 Tipping Competition Winners

AFL Online would like to congratulate Ann Dawson on winning the 2007 AFL Online Tipping Competition. Ann finished with a score of 116 and won the competition outright by 2 whole tips and collecting a handy $250 for her efforts. In second position came Jason Toirkens on 114 tips and again claimed the prize outright with no other tipster on the same score. Jason is a NRL fan at heart but decided to have a go at AFL and it has paid off collecting $50 as a reward. Third position wasn’t as easy to claim with 6 tipsters all finished on 113 tips. However it was one of our forum moderators who claimed the prize after a countback. Luke tipped 8 twice this season which was more than anyone else on 113 points. Considering Luke is already a moderator a forum subscription was rather pointless so we rewarded him with a voucher on Sports Delivered. AFL Online would like to congratulate the above winners and would like to thank everyone who entered the competition. We hope to see you back in 2008 for what we hope will be a bigger and better competition.
