    Strategy Fixing the Academy System

    So, we have the chat most years and every year everyone cries out that the system isn't fair and that its broken with Academy and Father-Sons. And I agree that it is broken, but its broken because those wanting to fix it only look at it from one angle and that is; Is the club tied to this player...

    Coach Horse - Director of Footy or something similar?

    He is free and we should have some budget. Feel he would be good for high level mentoring/assistant role that deals with some back end stuff. We should have the space in the cap and all these kids need as much resources to develop them as possible.

    Moved Thread Joel Selwood - The Improvement

    About 6 or so weeks ago I had a thread as I thought that Joel Selwood was rather slow and the head knocks were causing some issues with his cognition and speech. When he started he sounded lost and like he was slurring words and it seemed a little concerning because from my memory (Not as a Cats...

    Opinion It is Time to Play the AFLs Game

    I am a nerd and I love video games. In almost all video games you can spit everything up into two categories: Micro and Macro. -Micro: This is the core gameplay loop. The shooting or the questing would fall under here. For AFL clubs, this would be the actual game of AFL each week. Macro: This...

    Coach You're a Coach Now - No 1 Team Rule?

    An AFL Club is looking to go in a bold new direction and has appointed YOU as their new coach. It is your first day so what is the 1 team rule you are putting up on the board? The one simple rule that if broken the player is dropped? My one is "If the Ball is in motion, you are in motion"...

    Opinion Joel Selwood - Is He Ok?

    UPDATE: Cats fans are saying that he has always spoken the same way as he is currently commentating and performing in the media. No need for further discussion then. I'll start off by saying that I never liked Joel Selwood (going to call him Selwood going forward) as a player. Main contention...

    Clash/Away Strip

    Hello Port Adelaide Board, This will be a real quick one. With umpiring being in the media so much and a lot of people talking about free kick count differentials and all that crap, I wanted to do a more in depth look at the frees that a team gives away. I believe that looking at what a team...

    Hello Carlton Board, This will be a real quick one. With umpiring being in the media so much and a lot of people talking about free kick count differentials and all that crap, I wanted to do a more in depth look at the frees that a team gives away. I believe that looking at what a team gives...

    Opinion What should season 2024 be?

    With the latest Hammy injury to Lynch, I find that I am reflecting on what this year should be from a football perspective and for our future. Tom Lynch will be 32 in October and I think that if his body holds up he could have a few more years in the game. He is not a player that relies on...

    Opinion AFL Sanctioned Cheating

    With Dew being sacked and Dimma being the next GC Coach basically fait accompli, it has brought a question up in my mind. If Dimma is smart, he an his management will not jump at the first offer and will try and squeeze as big a contract as they can out of the Suns. Just smart business. But in...

    Opinion Media vs Fans

    Now I don't watch a lot of other sport other than AFL and F1 but I have to say, I have not seen an industry that has just open contempt for their audience. When I listen to a lot of AFL media personalities (cough Kornes Cough Carro) I just get nothing but contempt for the average AFL fan. They...

    Universal Love Hardwick Moments Thread

    Time to go through some of good moments now that he is gone. Here is my list 2010: The 4 week patch from the West Coast game to the Freo Game. Highlighted by the massive comeback against Sydney in round 14. That game was the first one that gave hope of character in the club 2011: The Draw...

    Strategy What is our 23 Offseason like?

    For me the alarm bells were ringing when we played Melbourne in the preseason. I though we looked unfit, unmotivated and lacked any plan. Well it seems like the marionettes of misfortune have decided to pop a squat and unleash a pile of turd larger than the shit Jeff Goldblum was standing next...

    Opinion Concussion - Ongoing Court Cases

    I have read a lot about the past AFL players and their ongoing court cases against the AFL for injury. There seems to be a common theme that the past players are alleging that medical staff breached their duty of care and were negligent when they put players on the field after they had a...

    Prediction The Jake Stringer Award aka Contract Hero - 2023 Edition

    What is a Contract Hero you ask? It is a player who will play out of their skin to get a contract that they probably don't deserve based on previous years form. They get the up market contract and then go to shit the next season. So which player out of those coming out of contract this year...

    Analysis Who is the AFL GOAT - AFL Era?

    So it appears the Dusty thread about him potentially being GOAT has legs like you wouldn't believe. However, one of the things I noticed is that every player that gets brought up in the GOAT conversation is always Ablett Jnr & Snr, Judd, Fyfe (who personally I have no idea how he is included...

    Fan Preferred CEO

    The Herald Sun in their recent "Power" list has suggested that the AFL CEO race is down to Dillon and Gale. Who would be the Fan's preferred? Gale Despite the Richmond connection, I feel that the AFL really needs to be run by someone who is a football person. He has played 200 odd games...

    Preview What aspect of footy will be sponsored next?

    I went to a lot of games last year as I decided to use my MCC benefits to watch teams other than my own and one thing became perfectly clear at the game. Almost everything has some sponsor. Goals, quarter time breaks, Half time breaks, the match itself had a sponsor. I shit you not at one...

    Prediction Season 23 - The big cojones calls

    This is a thread where we will make those big predictions that ends up pissing off fan bases of clubs. The ones where people will screenshot them and then use them as ammo later in the year. These are the predictions that really show how much we have NFI about footy (without having to take part...

    Opinion Time Of Death - 3/3/2022

    30th of April 2014, a day that can be marked as a historical day in the history of AFL. Gillon McLaughlin became the CEO. A nexus for historians who want to chart the decline of AFL. Sure there was some spectacular growth under his leadership, however due to preceding decisions made by...

    Opinion Past Player Hot Takes

    This is a thread where we can post any hot to nuclear level takes about past players. I'll start; Dan Connors If he wasn't a twat, he would be an AA and 2 - 3 times premiership player. He is basically a bigger chonkier Short. Andrew Collins Could of been a 100 - 150 game player for us if we...

    Opinion Football now vs 10 years ago?

    With the Tiger's being shit this season, it allowed for some extra reflection of AFL as a whole. Quiet introspection lead me to realise "Hey, I am watching a lot less football this season". It was very true as in the past I used to watch the Tiger's game and at least 1 to 2 other games "viewed"...

    Michael Christian - The worst thing to happen to AFL

    I am going to preface this by saying the system appears to be broken. However there does not appear to be any attempt to fix the system. Michael Christian as the MRO officer is taking the rules and the game and making it a joke. The fact that you can suspend someone for a legal action in the...

    Preview Richmond vs St Kilda - The One Game for All Games

    The Allies had D-Day. The Japanese had Pearl Harbour. Germany had Charlottesville. Russia had the Winter Olympics. Richmond has a Round 23 match against the 'Aints. Before we look forward we need to look back. *cue harp noise indicating flashback sequence* I remember it like it was only 7...

    Prediction Lets Talk Worst Case Scenarios

    I know it is only round 1 and to talk negative is frowned upon but **** it this is Richmond. I wouldn't put it past the Tigers to wait until the last moment to tell the AFL we will match a rival offer for Dusty but instead of 1,200,000 we write 1,200.000 and then he goes. Ok so worst case...
