    The Bancroft/Warner opening partnership is currently averaging 52.6

    Bancroft seems to be finally coming into some form despite all the hate, but I thought I would take a look at the overall numbers. IMO, the real measure of a solid opening partnership is runs for that first wicket, and Bancroft/Warner have been top notch as a pair in setting up our innings. 50...

    Did Geelong fans melt in 1964?

    I like to read through old seasons from time to time out of interest and have been reading about our 60's team a lot. Our bigfooty board loves a melt, and the 1964 season looks to me like one of the most meltworthy in our clubs history. Coming off of a flag we finished 4th on 13-4-1 on equal...

    Favourite "journalists cluelessly writing off the Cats" moments

    With the respectable world of journalism joyfully writing of the Cats for the last fortnight I figured I'd start a thread to collect footy journos favourite pastime all in one place. I'll nominate this beauty from September 2012. Damien Barrett "nah, the era's over Darce" . Starts at 5:52...

    Past vs Present: Dangerfield, Selwood and Duncan or Bairstow, Hocking and Couch

    It's bye week and we have a time machine, which midfield core would you take to the Tigers next week? Inspired by watching the 1994 prelim this evening :thumbsu:

    Looking for in-depth interchange stats

    hey there, I am looking for match stats which show a few things, and having no luck currently. I need mainly a full picture of who is on the bench at what time in the match, e.g "First quarter 00:00-01:23- Duncan,Guthrie,Mackie,Taylor" What I'm trying to get a picture of is who is in play and...

    Make a team with 1 player from each club

    Just for a bit of fun, you can use 1 player from each side to build an 18 player team, no bench. Here's what I came up with: D: L.Jones(CAR) R.Tarrant(NM) J.Mcgovern(WC) J.Howe(COL) J.Geary(STK) D.Swallow(GC) Mid: L.Dahlhaus(WB) N.Fyfe(FRE) R.Sloane(ADE) For: D.Martin(Ric) L.Franklin(Syd)...

    What happened in 2009, and why was it not repeated since?

    Hey Lions board, I come in peace. I was just looking through past results of clubs from the last 10 or so years for my own curiosity and to jog the memory and the Lions 2009 season stands out as a serious outlier. 13 wins and a finals victory under Vossy after which the Lions trended badly...

    Dick Lee

    Hey Pies board, I come in peace. Have been doing a bit of reading on early VFL history and this guys name came up, I was looking at his stats and I am in awe, typical scores in his era were along the lines of 50-43 with it being rare to see more than 12 goals per side in a game, yet this guy...

    A new concept for the AFL fixture

    I have created a new concept that seeks to solve the current issues with the fixture, without having to go to the 17-5 or conference ideas that are being looked at. This new fixture will become 23 games, with 6 double ups, instead of the current 22 with 5, I believe this is achievable and...

    Is anybody else bothered by the AFL now cashing in on and glorifying the returning Dons?

    I am really bothered by things I have been seeing from the AFL since revealing the fixture. They have never publically condemned Essendon and now they are cashing in on what happened with articles like this...

    Will we now start to see the "Qualifying final tank"?

    So by the sounds of it the Round 24 bye is here to stay. Teams said that they were able to plan for it but this year showed that the biggest advantage is with those who play all 4 weeks. For neither of the Qualifying final winners to make the Grand Final is totally unprecedented under this...

    Prediction The Cat's are on a similar trajectory to Hawthorn

    Since things are often so negative in here I thought I throw out some positive vibes. *Before I start this is a highly optimistic and semi-tongue in cheek prediction. So right now Geelong are on the eve of a 3-peat. How do I know this? History. Let's look at Hawthorn's last 8 years, and then...

    A 3rd Quarter walks into a bar...

    the 3rd quarter asks "Did Geelong show up yet?" and the bartender says "Nah mate, they'll be about 20 minutes" Seriously, it's 2016 and this is still happening. I love to beat the Hawks but the last 4 years of 3rd period trainwrecks have removed at least twice as many years from my life...

    List Mgmt. Where does the 2015 off-season leave our salary cap?

    I tend to take a backseat during off-season but I of course heard the big stories, Dangerfield, SSelwood and Zac Smith especially being major positives. But...star players cost money. Do we have the salary cap to maintain all 3 of them and not have to give up something major (I'm aware we cut...

    2014: The worst season in a generation

    There is no doubt that the AFL as a competition has taken a serious turn for the worst in the last 2 years. But this year has been an all time low. Administration has been part of the problem, umpiring has gone out of control with inconsistency. With the last umpiring coach there was always a...

    Mark Pangallo (Eurosport2)

    Anybody who streams footy online has probably come across this guy at some point. He commentates saturday twilight games on Eurosport and is one of the first tolerable aussie rules commentators I've heard in years. Doesn't have a massive ego like BT, isn't a condescending a a*rsehole like Derm...

    Opinion Time to stop holding the current group to the standard of 2007-2011

    I'm a Geelong supporter for life and it frustrates me no end to see the doomsday attitudes on this board whenever we lose a match. As far as I'm concerned we right now have one of the best lists in the league and we have the opportunity to win a premiership any time in the next 5 years. And...

    Analysis How is Jake Kolodjashnij going?

    Well with the news of his brother getting a Rising star nomination this week I just wondered how our Koladj is tracking. People who watch the 2's care to give us an update?

    Premiers 2000-2012 by ladder position

    So I was having a look at which positions the premiership has been won from under the current finals system to see if there were any clues on who to back this year. 1st Essendon 2000, Port 2004, WCE 2006, Geelong 2007, Collingwood 2010 2nd Brisbane 2001, Brisbane 2002, Hawthorn 2008...

    2013: The weakest MOTY competition in years

    Did everybody forget how to leap the last 2 years? 2012 wasn't great, but Jeremy Howe offered enough entertainment for it to be less noticeable. But this year even he has been fairly quiet on the hangers, so we're left with about 3 contenders from Howe and 2 from Elliot. (all great marks btw)...

    NZ ANZAC Game not on FTA?

    The reason that was always dropped when they announced this was so that both games could be broadcast back to back. So what was the point in this stunt when the 2nd game is only being shown on Foxfooty? May as well have just had the games overlapping. Or even better just not bothered in the...

    Grand Final not broadcast live on Foxfooty?

    Was reading through the Broadcast rights page for Finals on afl.com.au and cam across this: 'All matches played in Weeks 1-3 will be broadcast live on FOX FOOTY. The 2012 Toyota AFL Grand Final will be replayed on FOX FOOTY. ' So it seems Fox won't be able to show the GF live. Seems a bit of...

    Fox Footy- It's Christmas In July

    Definitely the most ridiculously stupid promotion I have ever seen. Who seriously thought this was a good idea? The commentary box was even full of christmas decorations today. What the hell :confused:

    Cazaly's Stadium

    Richmond vs Gold Coast being played there again soon. Opinions on Cazaly's? I remember watching the match on TV last year and thought it looked like a pretty nice place to watch footy. Seemed to have a good atmosphere despite being a smallish capacity and small crowd.
