As many of you would remember back in 2017, Adelaide and Carlton made a trade to bring in Bryce Gibbs.
Adelaide lost 2 1st rd picks, 1 5th rd pick, and a future 2nd rd pick
Carlton gave us Bryce Gibbs, 1 5th rd pick, a future 2nd rd pick and a future 3rd rd pick.
As the years have gone...
I dont know. Can you repeat that question!
Who's finals ready?
Of the 24 (plus coach) who played in finals. Who's finals ready.
2. Keays - Maybe - Obviously an x factor up forward. Got in position. Give him another chance
3. Berry - Yes - Only midfield who looked good all finals.
6. Curton -...
For years now, whenever someone brings up the idea of evening out the fixtures to eliminate some teams getting an easier run (ie. Brisbane having 5 double up games vs top 8 teams this year, compared to 2 with Geelong) the argument always rears it’s head to say ‘play everyone once, plus a rivalry...

After the season he just had, he has now climbed up to #30 for goals kicked in the AFL.
And of the 29 ahead of him.
7 are Legends (1. Lockett, 2. Coventry, 3. Dunstall, 9. Matthews, 15. Bartlett, 20. Hudson, 28. Pratt)

May I be the first to congratulate you Port Adelaide.
For the first time in 20 years, you have been able to open your trophy cabinet and add to it.
Congratulations on your 2024 SANFL Wooden Spoon.
I've been thinking this since last weekend when I was in Perth and seeing a large amount of non-Eagles non-Dockers fans out and about. And I developed a theory.
The current TV deal. Where the non-victorian teams have a monopoly on fta TV in their own state. Leads to the TV networks ensuring...
This thread was made in the past, so thought we could do it again this year.
Here's your 9 games
Port Adelaide vs Richmond - Adelaide Oval
North Melbourne vs Gold Coast - Blundstone Arena
Brisbane vs St Kilda - Gabba
Geelong vs Western Bulldogs - GMHBA Stadium
Carlton vs Greater Western...
I was thinking about this topic yesterday.
Should they wait till 2027 for when the mens come in, or should they come in sooner?
I personally like the idea of them entering the league sooner to garner support for the national side.
The fans might rock up in huge numbers and get behind the...
Bad - dropping butts. Like yeah, he's needed a rocket up his arse for a year (maybe 2). But come on. At least have a plan b if you're actually gonna drop him
Ugly - everything else except
Abysmal - our coaching at marking contests. Since AT LEAST the Don pyke days we've always had our smalls...

Honestly didn't know there was one before Sandusky in Todd Hodne.
It's a bloody long read but eye-opening.
I understand why the yellow, darker green and red uniforms were implemented all those years ago as alot of teams had white clash strips. Then I understand why it morphed into the lighter green to have a more standardised kit.
But with clubs slowly ditching white away strips, why don't the...
I was just having a look at the crowd stats between these 2 teams.
All crowds at the MCG (Only fair way to do it tbh)
8 meetings at the MCG prior to the ANZAC Day game - 87,507
8 meetings on ANZAC Day 1995-2002 - 84,687
8 meetings not on ANZAC Day 1995-2002 - 64,414
After a rich history...

Less than 60 hours to kickoff when Whickham and Consett start this seasons cup at 4:30am Saturday Morning
I might keep a close eye on Portland United vs Bournemouth.
I always enjoy following these small clubs who no one has ever heard of.
Hopefully we see some clubs outside of the football...
True, stupid question. They obviously are.
Otherwise they wouldn't be deliberating for so long about whether to attend our game in Adelaide on Saturday.
Instead, they're trying to weasel their way out of it and get the game moved to Sydney.
The AFL should put their foot down.
Play where it's...
I was wondering what the thinktank of BigFooty things of the floating fixture that we've seen this year.
In previous years I was really in favour of it. Seeing the benefits to the networks to draw in a greater profit and the game.
However, seeing it in effect this year has made me flip.
You...
Why do I say these 4 clubs?
It's due to their behavior during The Great War.
Every other club currently in the AFL sat out at one point during the Great War and contributed to the war effort.
But these 4 clubs? They're the only one of the current 18 who played throughout the war entirely...
Just wondering what people think. I started to get into the game in the mid 90s, and with the exception of 99 and some of the Hawks 3peat I've watched most.
But for me
1997 - Not neutral
1998 - Not neutral
1999 - Neutral - No strong feelings either way about Carlton and North.
2000 - Melbourne...
Ill spend all spare time over the next few days doing the fixture.
But there are 2 conferences, of 3 divisions of 6 teams each.
But lets get the reveal going.
We all know winning in September is all that matters.
So how long has it been since your club won when it actually matters?
1. Adelaide - 0
2. Richmond - 339
3. Greater Western Sydney - 346
4. Geelong - 354
5. Collingwood - 361
6. West Coast - 362
7. Melbourne - 718
8. Sydney - 1088

The Cup kicks off tonight with a matchup between London Colney and Woodford Town.
Other clubs such as Penrith, Glebe, Main Road, Squires Gate, Romulus, Boston Town, Dunkirk and Horsham YMCA are kicking off tomorrow.
First team to go through though was Egham Town as a Redhill player tested...
With a limit on indoor range gatherings being 100, would the AFL have to turn Marvel Stadium into an outdoor venue this season?
Once you take into account players, coaches, trainers, medicos, physics, tv crew, commentators etc.
The total would be larger than 100 overall.
Because of this. Will...
A few years ago, the concept of Scorigami gained some major traction in the NFL after Jon Bois of SB Nation put up a youtube video about the topic. You can watch that here:
After the video, a website was developed where NFL scorigami was tracked. You can view this here...
