Mods please merge if there's an existing thread on this, I haven't really searched and just saw a specific one on Jimmy's induction and thought that this could serve as a general discussion thread on the topic.
I've just finished watching all of the speeches and videos posted by the club. Looks...
Hello team.
Not sure if this has been done before, but thought it would be a good little exercise given that we seem to have a reasonably geographically diverse bunch on this board.
It would be cool (are the kids still using this term?) if you clicked on the below link and add the city that...
...I'd just like to loop back to my favourite post I've ever read here on Bigfooty, from our esteemed brother astrovic.
Not only does astro sum up what it means to be a Shinboner so beautifully but he reminds us all why we love this great club.
During this finals series, like last, I've had an...
Just listening to SEN's All Night Appetite. They had an interview with Tasmanian top-20 draft prospect Mitch Hibberd (who has modelled his game on Marcus Bontempelli.
All this to say: BFNAAK!
Never seen the bloke play, but we need him. We neeeeeeeed him!
PS. Hello Mitch if you're reading this...
Hey guys,
Sorry to interject. I have a small question that hopefully one of you can answer. A friend of mine runs a club in a non traditional area and needs some help. I know the Giants are recruiting teams to change their last names to Giants and wear the Giants gear.
Do you have any...
3. Peter Bell (started slow like our team but absolutely ripped it up after that)
2. Shannon Grant (was amazing all 4 quarters, brilliant finishing)
1. Adam Simpson (ball magnet!)
HM: Winnie Abraham, Byron, Wayne Carey, Micky, Arch, McKernan, Kingy
Ok so we're basically half way through the year, so we should know by now most of what our best 22 looks like, i.e. what we'll be taking into September should we make it, providing there is no injuries (big if).
This is what I've got:
B: McMillan - Thompson - Hansen
HB: Atley - Grima - Mullett...
So much character by the boys to get two wins this year there. Couldn't be prouder of the lads.
Mods feel free to merge/delete this thread when the dust settles.
Yessssss!!
And I quote:
Now. Currie isn't the reason why we're 40 points behind at three quarter time, definitely not, but this was such a no-brainer decision.
His presence in the team not only reduces us to effectively 23 men, but actually helps the opposition by not allowing Drew, our captain, to have...
I'm a Sydney(ish) based member and to say I look forward to these days is an understatement, however the day has the shine slightly taken off it because I'm forced to be surrounded by ignorant bandwagoners who know absolutely nothing about the game and yell 'BALLLLLLLLLLL' every time Sydney kick...
Brent Harvey's last nine matches against the Red Sash's (I'm not trying to draw you to liken Essendon with communism, but here we are) have yielded the following disposal tallies:
21, 21, 27, 30, 33, 22, 30, 32, 26.
His average disposals during this time is nearly 27 (career average is just...
We need to take a lesson from Hawthorn.
The one area we are not of standard in is clearly our kicking efficiency, in particular across half back and going inside 50.
It's a given that left footers are generally classier (LT aside) and finish more consistently, so this draft/trade period we...
The prelim final in 2007. I don't know why. It's consumed my every thought this week (not ideal during exam week).
Anyone else have a different feeling to this one??
Now, let me preface this by saying you'll be hard pressed to find a bigger HMac fan than me, however we're going to find ourselves with a bit of a dilemma.
I think we're going to struggle to play two ruckmen given the structure of our forward line, because we already have a bevy of marking...
Let me prefix this with saying that the search function is too frustrating to use, so apologies that this will no doubt be a duplicate.
Now, as we all know, having a week off to freshen up is a huge advantage, and it becomes even bigger if you're awarded a bonus four points for it.
So on...
Surely a modified rip off of the motivational video North Melbourne produced in the 90's?

Did a quick search in this forum for an explanation as to why you have to wait 30 seconds between searches, found one explanation (not from a mod) which was pretty vague, so just seeking clarification from Chief or whoever can help.
It's the most annoying part of BF in my opinion. From the...
Scott Thompson - Really promising debut, foot skills are very impressive. Kept a cool head.
Nathan Thompson's return - Moved well, could've had five.
Good crowd - Will help keep up our off field momentum.
Two big personalities (Dennis Cometti and Rex Hunt) not working for me. Grybas and Hunt were good because Clinton could take the back seat and compliment Rex's over the top behaviour.
Rex seems to be in competition with Dennis and it sounds like he's trying a bit too hard.
Anyone know a website which neatly lists every player who has played footy? Interested in North Melbourne in particular but other lists would also be advantageous.
Ta :thumbsu:
Not referring to Bruce McAvaney, but name some moments which were truly special in AFL/VFL. Can be anything, on or off the field.
