At this point, we are tanking for midseason draft picks. I can't believe it's come to this, but it has. Go the Hawks. 🎉 ☹️

I don't start many threads, but I am starting to lose faith in our direction as a club. After a disastrous offseason both from a list management and governance perspective, we are currently 13th, after a 1-3 start. We have had better player availability so far this year than we have had in...

Our trade period. Out: Treloar, Phillips, Stevo, Atu, pick 39, pick 42 In: Pick 14, future 2nd, pick 65, pick 70 They've gutted the existing list and we have a poor hand in a draft that's compromised anyway. They've wrecked the team, and that doesn't even factor in the potential cultural...

Thread title speaks for itself. Join the fan club for one week only. Get your cheer on! (Us beating Essendon would help too, of course.....)

Pies fans. Calm the **** down! Just peace out for a while and prevent yourselves from having a collective, board wide meltdown and heart attack! Geelong are flying and are the rightful premiership favourites at the moment. Outside of them, the accepted 'next' favourites are Collingwood, West...

I stole this thread concept from the main board. Pretty self explanatory, really. Post your best team of the 2000s. I'll start. B: James Clement (VC) - Simon Prestigiacomo, - Leon Davis HB: Heath Shaw - Ben Reid - Harry O'Brien M: Steele Sidebottom - Nathan Buckley (C) - Scott Burns HF...

I have started very few threads over a long period as a member of this site - an example being when I famously beat Dave the Man in welcoming the Postcard Bandit to the club - but I thought it was necessary to call for calm. So many are lambasting the club for its performance over the free...

Ok guys and gals. I'm going to say it. AT is the best player we have recruited from another club since Buckley. Hands down. That is all.

The thread title says it all really. That was one of the best key defensive performances I've ever seen by a Pie. Just brilliant. That is all.

I have been a member of BigFooty since 2005 but have never posted in the Nest (no actual reason, just haven't), so here goes.... As an AFL member with a Collingwood Club Support package I receive a complimentary (watered down) Collingwood membership. One of the up - or down depending on your...

(***Mod edit: two threads merged. Boris beat TD 'by that much'...so it's his OP ***Mod edit) Just wanted to see if I could beat TD. ........ His profile lists him as a defender, midfielder and forward so he is a bit of an unknown quantity as a footballer. One thing is certain about the...

In 2014 we played with a full time tagger for the first time in years. Given our first choice (Macaffer) will be out for a lot of 2015 with an injury, who do people think will get first crack at the role for Round 1? We may of course not use a tagger at all, however, I doubt we will ditch an...

As unfortunate as his injury was, Luke Ball going down will make this guy's career. Such a natural midfielder and he has been at the centre of so much of our best midfield play these last two weeks. I think with Ball out, our best combination is Jolly, Swan, Pendlebury and Beams, easily. It's...

WOW!! That was one of the most influential quarters of football I've seen from a player in my life. What a player he has become and I would not be surprised if he took home his second Copeland Trophy this season. A colossus.

3 doesn't fit into 2 I can see our team looking like this with perhaps some positional shuffling; Krakouer, Cloke, ???? Didak, Dawes, Brown Thomas, Pendlebury, Beams O'Brien, Reid, Shaw Toovey, Tarrant, Davis Foll: Jolly, Swan, Ball Int: Johnson, Wellingham, Maxwell SUB ...

Absolutely putrid yesterday. I know he's normally good in that regard and it was wet but he lacked vision and composure yesterday. Just an off performance or more a bit of nerves coming into a huge final as captain? I was genuinely surprised with how he performed yesterday as it's the sort of...

...think the kid's a gun and a future club champion and should play as a full-time mid, at Wellingham's expense to improve us as a side. Thoughts? *EDIT. I am not saying that Wellingham should be dropped, just that his role as a fulltime mid over Beams should be re-thought. He's just not...

I am travelling up to see the game in Sydney with my sister next weekend. It will be the first time I have seen the Pies live interstate but we don't have a great time in between getting off the plane and getting to the game. Due to this I was hoping that someone could recommend somewhere near...

For the first part of this season I thought Harry was in his worst patch of form in years. He was fumbly, his defensive efforts were generally poor and he looked lost at times. Commentators were starting to comment that he may have been worked out and that his "antics" were not working anymore...

Most people have suggested that we use a utility such as Goldsack or Tarrant in this position next year but I feel that this would be a mistake. Our on-field team is so versatile as it is that in the event that we need a structural change, we can make it using the players that are already on the...

This thread is a query I'm hoping someone can answer for me. 24.6 possessions per game as the leading goalkicking in a premiership team. Has it ever been done before? I have a feeling it would be an all-time record. What a season he had and when you consider that he played out the finals series...

Have seen the Grand Finals multiple times and he was our best player across the 2 games combined........EASILY! The lack of appreciation for his games has me dumbfounded. He put in two fantastic 4 quarter efforts and he was nothing short of inspirational in the second half of the draw. His...

They got it right this year (at least with the players in the First 18) Backs were selected in the backline, forwards or mid/forwards were selected in the forward line and midfielders were selected in the midfield. They usually squeeze one pure midfielder in each of the defence and the forward...

After tonight, we will have played every team in the comp except for the teams in 12th, 14th, 15th and 16th on the ladder. That's every team in the top 11 but without playing 4 of the bottom 5 teams (including the bottom 3). If we beat Sydney tonight we will be in 3rd, 2 points off 1st and 6...

I have read in here a million reasons why we lost the game today and a lot of them contributed but I thought the game plan was the biggest one. We have been playing attacking football of late. We have been spreading quickly from stoppages and using the corridor far more than we usually do. We...

I am unable to go to the game tomorrow because we are celebrating Easter and I don't have Foxtel :mad: Does anybody know of any websites that might be streaming the game live? I stream EPL games all the time but I've never had to for AFL so I don't really know where to look. I just signed up...

There's been a couple of threads similar to this one put up but I am curious to know what people see as our strongest lineup to go into 2010 with. Most threads/posts have included a Ball, Welsh or something similar in the lineups but I want to know our best team based on what we have right now...

SEN just reported, Saints just announced on their twitter page that a new trade will be announced in the next few minutes. Hmmmmm...Intrigue.

Congratulations to Travis Cloke for getting to 100 games. It's been a tough year but you're a star; especially after everything you've been through in the last couple years..My sister's favourite player to the same level that Bucks was mine. Rip Taylor a new one tomorrow to celebrate. C'MON...

Awesome performance. I thought he was best on ground tonight. I don't expect anyone to agree with me but this guy was brilliant every time it went anywhere near him. He was easily our best when we were struggling at the start as well and kept us it the contest. Our best tonight were Goldsack...
