Putting it out there now. I am putting a target on my head and calling all Collingwood supporters for a free shot. I know you will. A scent to the wolves.
Carlton aren’t far away. It’s attitude and application. I am convinced the list is there. The core group is solid with enough experience to...
Flattened Ryan Lester tonight.
If the AFL is that serious about the head then they’ll give him 5 weeks. The big issue for me is Pickett got 2 for something very similar.
Where do they go with this? Will Sydney be appealing if he gets more than what Pickett got? Through the concept of...
Four games to go;
Sydney
Fremantle
GWS
Essendon
Currently sitting 8th with a percentage equal to Collingwood and a game behind St Kilda. Would like the honest opinions of how we will finish given the way we are going. Form been pretty good the last 5 weeks bar an aberration against the WB...
Whilst there has been a considerable amount of support for GWS on the eve of their maiden GF appearance, there has also been a very large anti sentiment that is prominent due to the way their inception came about. We all know how that was, no need to paw the ground again. I’ve heard quite a few...
Pretty straight forward question, and for plenty their team will not be playing on GF day. It’s pretty neutral for me every year with Melbourne never near a GF. I am always getting to PF week and looking at the possible combinations, and then thinking about who I’d like to win the flag, as well...
Hi purple army.
Ed Langdon has been linked to us. Few questions;
1. Is he any good?
2. Outside or inside?
3. Good disposal?
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
Thanks.
We are all aware of our deficiencies, and we all bemoan the following ‘lack of pace, lack of run, lack of skill’. Well with this name floating around the traps as a potential Victorian again, what are everyone’s thoughts on acquiring his signature...
Broad question here, delivered at everyone of course, but particularly interested to hear from North fans;
What kind of coach do you need? You’ve got a list profile with plenty of talent, plenty of experience, and I think plenty of ability. North can play some scintillating footy yet the gap...
I don’t get it. I’ve been here just recently (for a wedding) and I don’t understand the attraction. It’s grossly overrated. It’s a commercialised hot spot attracting rich and wealthy Melbourne and Sydney types who want all the conveniences of a sanitised clean holiday. There’s nothing holiday...
Thought this concept might be interesting. We all come to BF to talk about the game and players, we often (actually always) criticise players for being ‘shit’ or ‘not up to it’ etc. We for the most part are armchair critics and tall poppies.
So, what was the extent of your football career? Who...
Well I started a thread a while back now predicting the Eagles were a ‘good chance to win the 2018 flag’ and I am calling it now.
Honestly, if you stay fit, stick to your game, and ensure key personnel are ready come finals, it’s yours. You’re literally too good. Not only do you own games in...
Modern football. Forward pressure, zones, the forward flood and the rebound. It’s all things deemed unattractive and stymied depending on who you talk to or what you prefer as a fan.
Sydney (of the modern era) gave us an intensive defensive approach, and that’s really carried through in some...
I’ve decided BF and I need to end our relationship. I’ve recently gone through traumatic and severe mental anguish culminating in recent suicidal thoughts and extreme stress. My coping mechanisms in my life are compromised and I need to work incredibly hard to recreate them for the good of my...
Yes we do.
It’s getting to the state whereby the AFL is about to revert to the VFL in theory, and that theory will only ever benefit Victorian clubs. The recent thread on the draft zoning ideas has rung serious alarm bells for the future of the expansion clubs and also Sydney and Brisbane...
Its a pretty simple question really. I guess we dissect quite a lot during game day threads and in post match discussions, but I want to actually put the question out there.
Personally, I am a bit confused based on what I’ve seen for 5 weeks. We are obviously contested ball winning team, we...
Has embarrassed himself this series. This just ices a very ugly cake for David in my opinion. Contributed very little against England, out of form coming into South Africa with an opportunity to redeem himself and assist our Country in winning but has instead sunk lower than the titanic...
Ok guys and girls, what is the consensus on him? 24 touches today but as a guy who has played almost 300 games, he gave away a really poor 50 metre penalty and it was something I felt changed the momentum of the game. What was disappointing from him was the inability to hold it together at a...
Hi Everyone,
Not sure if you’ve heard of these but apparently they are the go to to develop wrist and forearm strength. Their touted to be very challenging even for serious lifters. Essentially they are graded hand grips that work to develop you strength exponentially (or so I’ve been told)...
Hi Guys,
Firstly i'd like to say i might not be overly popular with some of you on the main board, but i don't overly care too much. The point of me coming in here today is to generate meaningful and genuine discussion in a serious format with regards to Richmond going back to back in 2018. I...
Honest question. Straight up answers required. We know the facts, we know the list position, we know the competition, we know the history, we know the expectation and we know the realities of footy.
Do you think (in your honest opinion) with the group we have as a foundation, we will win a...
How would you describe your relationship with alcohol? Personally I’ve been alcohol free for 2 months. It’s amazing. I felt that my relationship with alcohol wasn’t healthy. I’d drink when I felt stressed, drink too much on occasions (footy a good example), and constantly hate the impact on my...
Good Morning,
Yes that's my thread title and where I think the Eagles could be headed this year. There won't be many people on the MB agreeing with me, but I feel that you have a list almost ready to explode if things can click. I'll give you my reasons.
KPP - Elite. JK, Darling, McGovern, NN...
Once again I am sitting in my living room watching a car roar down my quiet suburban street at about 70km per hour. Within my street are 4 houses with kids, young kids, should a child unexpectedly come out on to the road, at 70km per hour there is no hope for a happy ending.
I routinely find...
Just because it's the off season and to lighten the mood a bit, I was chatting to a Carlton fan earlier about Carlton going out in straight sets in 1994 and thought, 'what could have been?' So what could have been in different results occurred in the preliminary finals? I.e the losers won and...
Brent Harvey. A name that just doesn't get discussed when talking about 'champions'. Sure we hear Hird, Voss, Buckley and to a lesser extent Harvey, Crawford, Cousins etc, but why does this guy never seem to come into the conversations of champions? Let's look at his stats.
432 games for 518...
Yes it's the off-season, and this is the time for the 'best of' threads. I thought this one could be the best 22 made up of those drafted between 2000-2015. You can only pick one player from each draft from 00-15 (16 players) then go back to 00 - 05 onwards for the next 6.
You also need to...
