    No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XLI

    I’m not wishing bad fortune on anyone individually, just the Carlton football club. I genuinely feel for Jagga and I hope he recovers well and has a great career. And I won’t say it to their faces, I’ll just secretly be happy their chance of success just got harder. If something happens to Lalor...

    No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XLI

    Spot on. I wish copious amounts of misfortune on the Carlton Football Club and their arrogant supporters. As if oppo supporters weren’t secretly rejoicing Dusty’s kidney injury or passing of his old man - it made him mortal and effectively ended the Tiger dynasty… there was dancing in Lygon St...

    Most advantaged and disadvantaged clubs

    Geelong gets a huge H&A advantage over all other teams. Unlike MCG or Marvel teams they train on their home ground. They get 90% crowd support. Teams play there a maximum of once a year so it’s completely foreign. It’s a very weirdly shaped ground unlike any other. We hear a lot about how the...

    Rumour Noah Balta assault charges

    I don’t begrudge this individual wanting compensation if he was bashed in an unprovoked attack. My earlier query wasn’t about his not having rights to compensation, it was about the timing of the civil action. Reason being, civil action requires a lower burden of proof, so wouldn’t Balta...

    No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XLI

    Let’s look at this another way. If we picked any of FOS, Jagga, Draper or Langford at one, then watched Lalor play his first game for a different club and be on the cusp of kicking three goals and having six x shots at goal for his team who kicked only four goals, along with clean hands at...

    Rumour Noah Balta assault charges

    I’m certainly no lawyer, but wouldn’t civil action generally come after the court case, with the next step in that process being end of March? The court might issue damages as part of his criminal punishment, so why would Balta pay up ‘civil’ damages prior to the court hearing? It goes without...

    Player Watch #4 Sam Lalor

    As a team we kicked 4.2. He’d have had 6 shots at goal himself without the concussion and kicked 3, whilst splitting time between mid-fwd. Off a limited pre-season. Get excited Robbo Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

    Player Watch #4 Sam Lalor

    Let’s see if you can answer this one simple question : “Should the rules allow you to shove your opponent into oncoming traffic in any way you please and in any circumstances without any repercussions except potentially a free kick?” Don’t mix in the Ginbey or Hopper situations with your...

    Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

    If Naicos averaged 50 disposals a game or 8 goals a game, then nothing else would matter as he’s so far superior to anyone else in history in specific elements of the game (as Bradman was) to render everything else irrelevant. Naicos doesn’t. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

    Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

    But we are debating if he can be the GOAT. The GOAT doesn’t have to be absolutely great at everything … but he can’t be completely inept at winning aerial contests when it’s such an integral part of the game. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

    Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

    Umpires had access to stats up until a few years back. As umpires have said previously, stats were never used as the primary tool for awarding votes, but they were there to confirm/deny their thoughts on who played well. They also confirm goals kicked, where the umpires didn’t know if xyz player...

    Roast The AFL aren't taking concussion and head trauma seriously enough. Lalor/Ginbey incident.

    I think that’s the point. Maynard’s action was a grey area and he got off… the AFL then introduced a rule to outlaw what Maynard did. If Ginbey gets off that’s fine as it’s a grey area with no specific rule governing it. But the AFL would do well to implement a rule before the seasons starts...

    Geelong rorting the system

    If forgotten about that one. Motlop signs a 4-year deal worth about $2m and gets FRP compo, Brandon Ellis signs a 5-year deal on about $2.5m and Richmond gets 2nd round compo. Not Geelong’s fault that one, but more evidence of how having ex-commissioners as President helps deliver the goods...

    Geelong rorting the system

    I’m just glad with all the pressure and being on $1m / season Chris Scott has the energy and passion to get a second job - maybe he could drive an Uber or deliver pamphlets at night as well. I’d have thought he’d spend time with his wife and kids in his limited downtime … but he is prioritising...

    Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

    Anyone hanging their hat on Brownlow vote averages after last years result probably need to find another debating point. And with the umpires still not able to view stats it’s probably not going to get any better. Hopefully they provide the stats back to umpires from 2026, as unfortunately the...
