If BigFooty existed in the 1980's and 1990's...

[Nostradumbass]

From the wayback machine it looks as though 2000 was a time when females felt a part on the boards for being female.

Internet was a different beast back then. Here a "sexiest AFL player" thread on the frontpage! Hah.

I can't recall in the last 6 years lurking and a member seeing anything resembling this type of thread.

now,now,now
*****THE ROCCA BROTHERS********
SAVERIO & ANTHONY
r by far the sexiest AFL players!!!!!

LATERZ

SAV IS SEXY-->36 UNTIL FOREVER-->ROCCA BROS ROCK MY WORLD!!!!!

 

[Docker Alyssa]

TBH... Saverio was much sexier than bogan-like Anthony, and Saverio is a much better name.

And he's on the bigger money.



Oh yours was a quote? oh...

"Should Helen D'Amico have had a Brazillian before steaking in 82."

You young kids google her image and let us know

I think back then Brazilian was a term for a person from Brazil, and nothing more.

That Meatloaf guy is at the top of his game, everywhere I go 'Bat out of Hell' is playing.

Such a young go-getting rockstar - we should totally get him to play at the grannie.

I would have been banned ......in the day diesel Williams cheated a goal at against my boys west coast at princess park when an eagles player kicked it through for a point and Diesel threw his arms up like he had kicked it

Goal umpire fell for it

....I nearly kicked the tv in....from that day I have hated Carlton with a passion and cannot ever like carlton

Big footy would have gone into meltdown from eagles fans that day if it was around

 

[Jarlcorbz]

Where is Fitzroy at?

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Dunstall would have been considered overrated and lucky he played in a great Hawthorn side.

Because he is and was.

Who has the best mullet?

i don't think men were as pussy back then, now you've got all these 'blokes' gossiping about footy matters like schoolgirls.. the forum would've probably just been a message board to organise fights

Who doesn't have a mullet

"Are players that don't wear black boots attention seeking knobs?"

I can only remember a handful of players back then that wore white or fluro boots like Dermie, now the players wear all sorts of coloured boots and black boots are considered weird.

I followed Final Siren's link to the early days. This thread just keeps on giving

There be posts about North folding within 10 years and not making it to the 90's.

 

[kingswood71]

During the 1980's: "How many flags have you guys won??" by every supporter as a come back to Eagles fans !!

 

[Roddy]

'The game is getting softer, and is awful to watch. I remember the good old days of the 1960s and 1970s.'

Precisely this.

"Increasing the bench from 2 to 3 can only be a good thing for the game"

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Windows vs Macs.

From 1991, what do people on here think of this new band called Nirvana?
Will they ever be successful?
Or are they flavour of the month?

Music ain't what it used to be.

From 1994.
Will the death of Kurt Cobain spell the end of Grunge?

There'd probably be a thread dedicated to Ray Card's hit on Keith Greig.

On another matter, how were BigFooty's servers when 9/11 happened?

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Looks like Leigh Matthews would have been hounded as a massive diver.

 

[rEALdEAL86]

Imagine Bay 13! some thread examples..

'Things more intimedating than Tony Liberatore'

'Gary Lyon= Overrated Spud'

'The life and times of Clive Waterhouse'

'Failmantle'

'How much longer can Ablett carry Geelong?'

















actually i can see these threads being used in 2014

There is actually a massive "as it happened" thread on the General Discussion board, which is very interesting to go back and read through.

Bigfooty in the 1920s:

Why is there a University board?
