Yeah, I think the gist of this thread is the team who will need to navigate their way through the 2027+ national drafts, with their high picks compromised.
Like Richmond had to do throughout the introductory years of the Suns and Giants.
I think that Richmond will be smashing the high end of...
If the ball hits a boundary umpire, it should be deemed out of bounds.
If it hits them on the full, it is deemed out on the full.
Even if the stupid fecker has his foot inside the boundary line.
It was a great mark, and will probably win mark of the year. You could be forgiven for thinking at the time that it was actually Jeremy Howe who was flying for it.
Been mentioned many times on this thread alone.
I agree on principle, and if the ball clips the post and goes through it should of course still be a goal. The current arrangement is totally ridiculous - every other decent sport worked it out a long time ago.
However, hitting the post and...
Totally appreciate that. There's a little part of my soul which evaporates each month when the subscription is paid. If I did watch so much stuff on Foxtel it would be gone in an instant. I steal his newspapers though, so hopefully that makes me a little more Murdoch carbon neutral 😁
Excellent response Rohan, and I'm sure there's plenty of posters here, including myself, that appreciate the fact that you come in and contribute to the BigFooty forum without a pseudonym and in full disclosure mode.
Added to this, with so many clickbait-driven, muck-raking gutter-tabloid...
Reminds me of when I tried to watch "Wolf of Wall Street" on an Emirates flight to Dubai about 10 years ago. With all of the editing that the highly conservative Islamic-owned airline imposed on it, the original 180 minute movie ended up going for less than 100 minutes onboard 🤣
I'd imagine...
WTF are you on about? Weightman was a 1st round draft pick and Mansell a pre-season supp list signing.
If only we'd bottled our way into a decent draft hand in 2019 rather than winning a flag.
Nah, not good enough for us MR.
I genuinely think we could (and should) be extracting the equivalent of at least a Top 10 pick for him (Baker), if not more. His whole is greater than the sum of his parts.
Tough ask.
If he spends time in the ruck he gets Gawn.
If he's key forward he gets May, with Lever third man in the contest.
Let's not go too hard on the lad if he underperforms in this one. Maybe just put it down to a further learning opportunity.
That have to go somewhere, and Geelong are just another club that are our competitors.
If they can massage their salary cap (and draft picks) to enable it to happen, good luck to them.
We're in a different universe to Geelong atm. We're not realistically challenging for a flag in the next 3-4...
I heard the Yze comments as basically a veiled acknowledgement that Dusty was still carrying a bit of an injury. And that moving him into the midfield the week before we have a bye was an unnecessary risk to his next month or so of footy, possibly longer.
I suspect he's in cotton wool to an...
It is a very steep learning curve for Mykelti atm.
When he finally finds out that he belongs, and starts to really believe it himself, he could be anything.
Self belief is a massively important (and underrated) trait in AFL footballers. You just had to have watched it unfold in real time for...
Those tabloid footy shows are the footy media equivalent of the Facebook comments section. Yes, I agree they are popular and have enough viewers to stay afloat.
But that doesn't mean it's not full of flogs commenting just for the sake of being inflammatory.
I find what they have to say...
Yeah, I think Mykelti is a very different young man than Sydney. Seems a lot more grounded.
Sydney was something of a himselfasexual for the most part.
Same in this country. We've essentially got two right wing parties in the duopoly.
Labor are at about 5 o'clock and the Coalition at about 3:30 (probably 4:00 without the Nats onboard).
Biden also sits well to the right of 6 o'clock. He only appears a little bit left in comparison to their...
