How weird, everytime i type "on" this bigfooty app, the font style changes

On SM-G925I using BigFooty.com mobile app

enough to make you cursor......

 

[Soapy V]

Valid points but neither Kerridge nor Palmer know howbto handle a dry footy... could you imagine what they will do with a wet one?

issue is they have been selected. not sure what more we can do

 

[thylacine60]

Hope it buckets down and it turns the game into a genuine 50/50 match up.

Cripps will have a field day i reckon and we do not play to bad in the wet and it will hurt the Bombers run and carry more than it will us, but Merrett needs to be kept in check and it is interesting to see if Curnow goes to him as i doubt he has the tank to run with him all day.

I am sniffing a late change also as the conditions will not suit young Charlie Curnow and maybe a small needs to come in for him.

Did you just question Ed's tank?

 

[ShanDog]

Cripps will have a field day i reckon

I can't wait to see him fire some handballs out of a stoppage in the wet and break a few teammate's noses as the ball goes straight through their hands.

I'd wager about 5 significant Crippa-handball-falcons today.

 

[ShanDog]

Bit shit that this is our home game and the weather is atrocious. There goes a decent chunk of gate receipts.

Every car park closed as well.

Crowd will be low.

 

[thylacine60]

is it raining now?

Armageddon today. As in armageddon ouda here.....

Merrett has one the best tanks in the game and runs twice as quick as Ed!

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Put Weitering Back, control the defence, more around the midfield (Kerridge and Palmer will help in this weather) and have a smaller forward line. Leave Casboult in the square and have Pickett Wright SPS up forward and at times Gibbs & Murphy

At training yesterday they were kicking long to top of square where Cas was not marking but knocking it down to the smalls.

I like it.

A vindaloo runs twice as quick as ed and doesn't stink the place up as much...

 

[thylacine60]

Quick ain't tank my very good friend. Ed is an aerobic beast.

What has speed to do with tank?

Granted I live in the suburbs but I don't know anyone who drives to the football and parks at the G

 

[therubbernub]

I make one midfield suggestion........

 

[Robertio]

Right.

 

[BrianSetzer]

I sense some SPS magic today!

I know we split the revenue with Collingwood for both matches each year, so I assume the same is true with the Dons and Richmond.

Not with Richmond anymore.

They put a stop to it a couple of years ago.

One day that will bite them in the arse.

When I've watched Essendon Merrett is everywhere. Will occasionally mark his own 40m kick.

Sounds like an infomercial....

I'd still tag Heppell over him

 

[HBF]

Pouring rain in Werribee area!

Just been outside and its freezing. Watching the game from the couch is a good thing.

The agreement between the clubs since 2008 was that the gate receipts for round one – sometimes as much as $700,000 – would be shared, provided the teams met twice in the season. However, the Tigers' decision not to share last year's gate set in motion the call for change.
