AFL Players Remove Porn from Facebook

The Porno images were on Crows ruckman Ivan Maric's Facebook homepage. One was sent by fellow ruckman John Meesen, which features a female shagging a bloke; the other was posted by Crows defender Andrew McIntyre which was an animation of a penis with arms.

The porno pictures sparked outrage from politicians and with Young Media Australia.

This is the latest in a string of off-field embarrassments that have plagued the Crows this year, which have included a betting scandal, players breaking curfew and last month's alleged assault of a female outside a city nightclub.

"The boys thought their homepages were available to only their friends and were taken aback (to realise they were available to the public)," Crows commercial operations general manager Phil Harper reported.

The club has enforced the removal of the images from Maric's (Facebook) homepage and it has also been blocked to the public.

Young Media Australia acting chairwoman Lynne Rutherford said she was shocked such images were posted on a website popular with young people.

"This issue is about the fact the images were accessible to young people," she said.

Kangaroos Shock The Hawks

THE Kangaroos have stunned the highly-fancied Hawks by 33 points at the MCG to advance a preliminary final against Port Adelaide next Saturday at AAMI Stadium.

Thrashed by 106 points a week earlier, the Roos were a completely different unit on Saturday night and led from start to finish to record the 14.9 (93) to 8.12 (60) win in front of 74,981 fans.

Hawthorn’s tall forwards had received most of the press leading into the match but the Kangaroos’ superior pressure on the ball carrier starved them of opportunities. A rock solid Roos’ defensive unit held firm more often than not when the ball did enter its zone.

A Lance Franklin goal cut the Roos’ lead to just 11 points in the first minute of the last quarter, but the Kangaroos weren’t to be denied and thoroughly deserved to progress.

Daniel Wells led the Roos with 28 possessions, Brady Rawlings was superb with 27 touches while restricting Luke Hodge to just eight, and Brent Harvey and Aaron Edwards booted four goals each.

Edwards was the early dangerman for the Roos with his side’s first two goals of the match. It should really have been three majors, but the high-flying Roo failed to convert after he took a towering mark over teammate Drew Petrie and Stephen Gilham.

Conclusion :

Hawks went into the game possibly to cocky with a physical approach and targetted numerous players rather than the ball, a number of times the Hawks players were targetting the player rather than the ball and in attempting to upset the players and get them away from the game - it back fired and worked against the Hawks and only put themselves in a vulnerable state and lead to an eventual shock loss.

Collingwood Beats West Coast in Finals Game

COLLINGWOOD last night (Friday 14th) staged an amazing comeback to beat West Coast by 19 points in extra time in a pulsating AFL semi-final at Subiaco.

The Magpies kicked 3.3 to two behinds in the two five-minute periods after full-time to win the sudden-death game 13.15 (93) to 10.14 (74).

It was the first drawn final since the Kangaroos eventually beat Hawthorn by 23 in their 1994 qualifying final.

Collingwood will now play Geelong next Friday night in their preliminary final.

Alan Didak was best for Collingwood and Anthony Rocca kicked three goals, while Dean Dox and Matt Priddis were best for the Eagles.

Leaving aside Adelaide in 1999, who failed to make the top eight, West Coast last night became the first defending premier to not win a final the following year since Carlton in 1996.

Collingwood beat the Eagles in Perth for the first time since 1992.

Continue Reading Article.

Conclusion :

A lot will be said about the Eagles missing key players such as Cousins, Kerr and Judd and not a lot of mention of Collingwoods missing key players such as Fraser and the now fading Licuria, Holland, Rhyce Shaw and Prestigiacomo, Fraser was obviously the biggest player absent for Collingwood as West Coast's Cox and Embley are the big duo ruckman in the AFL.

West Coast's players standouts Matt Priddis is also gatherring a lot of media attention for his brilliant game, but what about Dane Swan and the return of form of Didak ? Dane Swan finished with 38 possessions and was the highest possession getter on the field (compared to Priddis' 37 possessions) and Alan Didak who collected 20 disposals in the last half of the game.

This game was the best game I have seen and I just hope it wont be swept aside because of the injuries to the key players before the game.

Beating West Coast at the WACA is an achievement in itself.

After Collingwood has knocked out the previous two Grand finalists in Sydney and West Coast - the focus is now on Geelong, Geelong's focus is now on Collingwood, Geelong will enter as strong favorites and Collingwood as rank outsiders and returning from a draining game against West Coast and Geelong with a Weeks break should be stronger for it .... lets see what shapes up towards the biggest Final in Melbourne in years and with just one non Victorian team remaining in the race for the flag.

Port Adelaide Two wins in a Row - AFL 2006 -

Port Adelaide has strung together successive wins for the first time this season after the Power outclassed Carlton 17.16 (118) to 12.12 (84) at Telstra Dome on Sunday.

The 34-point margin flattered the Blues as Port had the game in its keeping from early in the second quarter when the margin was 50 points, with Carlton trailing by 65 points late in the third before outscoring the visitors eight goals to two in the final term.

The Coaches Said :

Port coach Mark Wiliams said "They played particularly well. It was great coming back, and coming back to Telstra after last week's win. It was nice to think that the young players I thought played particularly well and got some good opportunities."

"Quite a few of the senior players led the way and gave them some nice touches."I thought (Jacob) Surjan played well again, (Steven) Salopek played well, (Troy) Chaplin did a good job, (Brad) Symes. He was under an injury cloud until today and I thought it was good for them,"

he said."(Danyle) Pearce continues to move up the charts. It's a nice thing for the people in Adelaide looking back and seeing our club moving on, which is good."

Denis Pagan said "The last three weeks we've been terrible at the start, (but) we get together and they're able to take a step back and see the issues that are causing them concern and then we go," he said."It's still very disappointing - our start to the game - and you know the side that's in front at quarter-time has probably got a 75 per cent chance of winning."

CARLTON: 3.2, 4.5, 6.8, 12.12 (84)
PORT ADELAIDE: 8.4, 13.8, 15.14, 17.16 (118)

GOALS – Port Adelaide: Ebert 3, C Cornes 2, Lade 2, Dew 2, Thurstans 2, Lonie, Surjan, Ezard, Salopek, Mahoney, Chaplin

BEST – Adelaide: C Cornes, K Cornes, Salopek, S Burgoyne, Pearce, Dew, Lonie, Ebert

INJURIES – Port Adelaide: White (shoulder)

Port Power Loosing Records Continue - No Longer The AFL Power House.

Midfielder Luke Power piled up 33 disposals while Brown booted seven goals and Bradshaw six in the Lions' surprisingly easy 22.15 (147) to 10.18 (78) victory - only their third in eight battles against the Power at AAMI Stadium.

It was the second successive week Port has been on the receiving end of records, following the Western Bulldogs' highest score - 25.16 (166) - and biggest winning margin - 76 points - against the Power.

PORT ADELAIDE: 4.6, 6.9, 7.13, 10.18 (78)
BRISBANE: 5.3, 9.8, 18.11, 22.15 (147)

GOALS – Port Adelaide: Mahoney 3, Ebert 2, Thurstans, Lonie, Tredrea, Deluca, Salopek

BEST – Port Adelaide: Salopek, Symes, C. Cornes, Ebert, Lade

Port Power looses to Collingwood - AFL Blog


The loss for the Power continues a disappointing pattern for the side that hasn't won two consecutive games this year, as well as revealing that captain Warren Tredrea is struggling to return from a knee injury.

For the Power, NAB Rising Star nominee Danyle Pearce was good in patches but it was Kane Cornes who fought the hardest for the visitors, with the gun midfielder closely supported by Peter Walsh.

It was high scoring first term with 10 goals on the board by quarter-time - Collingwood slightly more accurate with six straight majors to Port's 4.1.

The Power looked to be in trouble with injuries early on with Tredrea benching himself and Chad Cornes seemingly suffering a broken nose, but both returned later in the term - Tredrea contributing with a late goal courtesy of a free kick in the goal square.

O'Bree kicked his second goal to give the Pies a one-point buffer going into half-time - the quarter summed up as a low-scoring and frustrating arm-wrestle with the ball rebounding quickly from end to end.

It was a captain's goal by Buckley that started proceedings in the third term, sparking eight-straight goals to get the Pies out to a 48-point lead in only 20 minutes of play.

Port got the first goal of the final stanza with Kane Cornes contributing, and with Tredrea closely following with a second, the visitors looked half a chance of sparking some match-winning momentum.

But the Pies, while not quite as dominant on the scoreboard as in their stunning third term, rallied and put to bed any hope of a Power revival.

Despite the eventual winning margin, Port Adelaide coach Mark Williams felt his side had competed well in most areas, but was stung by an inability to curb Collingwood's third-term scoring spree.

COLLINGWOOD: 6.0, 8.2, 16.6, 18. 12 (120)
PORT ADELAIDE: 4.1, 7.7, 8.9, 11.13 (79)

GOALS – Port Adelaide: Tredrea 2, P.Burgoyne 2, Walsh, Dew, Lade, Lonie, Pearce, Salopek, K.Cornes
BEST – Port Adelaide: Walsh, K.Cornes, Lade, C.Cornes, Salopek, Pearce
