    https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/worst-list-in-the-afl-at-present.1341236/page-17#post-77726910 Interesting that in the above threads poll we are easily judged as having the worst current list Given the diabolical results of last year it is not overly surprising but is it really that...

    Your top 5 suprise packets of 2011

    Going into the 2nd bye with a very suprising 9-4 record we have had a raft of players that had performed way beyong expectations My top 5 are 1. Kerr - In the pre season, going by training reports i thought his career was likely over or at best would have a limited impact. Instead he has...

    Senior Players

    I know we are all pinning our hopes on youth to rise up the ladder in 2011 but last year the senior players delivered well below expectations (injuries didn't help). The question is can some of these players have a big impact this year to really improve our performances or will we just be...

    No Love for Hunter

    I have been reading many threads on these boards and am suprised by the lack of love for this player He has been our CHB for several seasons and performed well in that position taking on some of the best CHF in the AFL and doing very well (outside of Lucas :(). Was probably at his best last...

    The preferred option question

    It seems that most posters from other clubs on these boards seem to think that Judd will only name one prefered club so they can offer substancially less than market value in a trade Is it just me or is more than likely that Judds manager will talk to all Melbourne based clubs that are...

    Ade v Wce Rd 1 2005 on Foxsport 3 tonight

    It is on just after 11.00pm tonight and was a pivotal game in some ways as it was the first time we had beaten Adelaide at Aami since 1996 (how things have changed since then :)) IMO this was also the game that gave the players a lot of self belief in winning those tough away games...

    WAFC - Get a Plane

    This was mentioned on 6pr tonight and has been a discussion point a few times before in the media. Considering all the criticism of the draw by both clubs CEO's Surely with all the money that WCE and Freo are making currently the WAFC could buy/lease a plan and fit it out with the players...

    This years Draft depth

    Looking at the deals done so far with Birss, Acker and Doogs. They all seem to have gone for less than market value judged on previous years. So without knowing what will happen tomorrow It seem to me that clubs are very reluctant to give up 1st and 2nd round draft picks this year such is...

    Victorian Eagle fans suggest strange new world

    Goal Kicking Accuracy

    This is a bit of a "What cheeses me off" type post about Goal Kicking 2004 - It probably cost us a home final (Port game a good example) 2005 - It wasn't any better in general and was very costly early in the Grand Final 2006 - Seems if anything to be actually getting worse...

    Fletchers 65 minutes

    I was looking through the stats in the Sunday time this arvo and what stood out to me was his 25 possesions in barely more than half a game. A fair effort by himself, the coaches and medical staff :thumbsu: :thumbsu: :thumbsu:

    Back to Talking Footy - Intra Club Game

    Even after all the commotion about Cousins and Gardy, i still went down to Subi to have a look. On Cousins - His demeanor wasn't too bad at all considering, just the usual Cousins (not sure if that was good or bad). On Woosha - He walked up the stairs not far from me after the first...

    The Good & the Bad of Bigfooty posting

    There seems to be some conjecture regarding Lynch and his non selection in the final two games of the years Was it one or the other or maybe a combination of a drop of in form and injuries

    Green, Humm and Beeck

    The delisting today were not really a suprise K Green - Would have been handy to retain and will probably get picked up another club you would have to think. Z Beeck - Never saw much of the Beeck, a 2003 rookie elevation but with Gardiner, Seaby and Cox as ruckman and J Graham getting...
