    List Mgmt. The next generation of talent (2023-2030 onwards)

    Hey guys, Thought while the little one was sleeping and I had some spare time, I'd start a thread based on our next wave of talent as I couldn't really see a dedicated thread that would be pertinent - and it definitely seems to be something that we're all discussing a lot more this pre-season...

    Adam Simpson on the ropes, with yet another weird take

    So last time it was the commentary around private/public schools and Indigenous kids...now this time it's 'I'm tight with Nisbett and he's the "alpha male" at the club'...seriously this guy does not project well at all, IMO. At this point he's basically presenting himself with his comments as a...

    Lachie Neale limp in tackle - epidemic amongst the league?

    I usually don't care about this stuff, but this is twice now that Neale has gone completely limp in the contest, and smacked his head into the ground. The whole idea was to stop player's hitting their heads, but of course, inevitably, players are now drawing dangerous tackle free kicks, by...

    Mock draft 2022

    Hey guys, As we did last year, looking at doing a mock draft for 2022. Expressions of interest for teams here and then will start in about a week or so. Will do a rookie draft too afterwards :) Cheers, Shadow

    5 players from either side you'd be happy see with a Premiership Medal around their neck

    Hey guys, So in contrast to a lot of negative posts that can arise on BF, I thought I'd do something a bit different and open up the floor to the entire BF community, to give their thoughts on who'd they like to see with a flag and a Premiership Medal around their neck come 5pm next Saturday...

    Trades Round 4 Trades - A.K.A. Hold ya premos ya scurvy dogs!

    Taking your job WaynesWorld19 as the locals are baying for blood and want their thread opened! Well that was a strange round. I did well - only because every high end premo bombed out completely. That ain't gonna happen every week, and Touk and Trac in particular will probably respond in a big...

    Patrick Dangerfield helps save 11 year old and her family, from dangerous rip at Moggs Creek

    Say what you want about Dangerfield as a footballer, and even that he can be slightly on the nose or egotistical - but today, he is a true blue, bonefied hero...

    Competitions AFL Mock Draft 2021

    Hey guys, Every other board seems to be getting in on this, so I thought it might be a bit of fun if we did it too :) Simple rules, we'll see if 18 people want to do it. If not, some will manage more than one club. foodles05 - Adelaide Shai - Brisbane Pure_Ownage - Carlton Vdubs - Essendon...

    Scandal Dion Prestia investigated for Covid rules breach

    'we're all in this together', I guess doesn't apply to Dion, hey?

    Injury Has the AFL's recent rule changes - reduced interchange cap combined with return to full 20 minute quarters - resulted in more injuries? Discuss

    So, what do we wake up to this morning, but news that the most high profile recruit of the off-season - Jeremy Cameron - has pulled a hammy for the second time this pre-season. Now when it comes to Cameron, this is not unusual, as he has had his own history of soft-tissue injuries in the past...

    Are large monetary contracts disincentivizing players to play their best footy?

    As the title states, are large, long term-contracts actually making players too 'comfortable' and thus, not actually earning their worth? I've thought this for a while, but it seems to be getting worse and worse, as time goes on. Players like Buddy and Ablett were offered massive contracts on...

    News Mitch Cleary stood down indefinitely - AFL have really stepped in it this time

    Hey guys, As I'm sure alot of you are aware, journalist Mitch Cleary has been stood down indefinitely over a retweet of Brooke Cotchin's publicly shared Instagram post. This is on the same weekend as Nathan Buckley attending a tennis match, and four clubs breaching protocols in different ways...

    Analysis Strange fixturing, favouring some teams

    Hey guys, Genuine question here, but how has the fixturing been decided over this 'festival of footy.' West Coast deserved winners tonight, so no sour grapes, but looking at their fixture ahead compared to ours - it's a complete polar opposite in terms of difficulty. We played Freo on Monday...

    Opinion Say what you want about Chris Scott as a coach, but as a person, no-one can fault his morality

    Hey guys, So I've been an increasingly critical person when it come to Scott and his coaching, but it has given me fresh clarity to see the massive sacrifice he has made amidst this crisis. As much as I can't wait for when the coaching reigns are given over to someone with a bit more dare and...

    2020 Planning thread - a.k.a pre-season misplaced confidence and collective insanity

    Welcome to 2020 guys! Let the games begin!!

    Have we ever seen an exodus like what is taking place at Adelaide right now?

    Discounting GWS and Gold Coast, which have become 'feeder clubs' in a sense, has there ever been this much fallout in the space of such a short time frame for a club? I want to preface this by saying, this is in no way a slight against the fans or the Adelaide players, but against the...

    Scotty doesn't know (a parody for those who are #donewithScotty)

    Now that it's off season (and silly season), I decided to post this on the Geelong board to rid myself of all the bad feelings I have towards Scott. Reckon there'll be a few on the main board who approve of this sentiment, so thought I'd post it here too! Enjoy! (or not) 🤪 Scotty doesn't know...

    Jon Ralph, Tim Kelly and the Curious Case of the 'no source' AFL Reporter

    Hi guys, A little question for all of you here, and something that has bothered me for quite a while with reporters like Ralph - why can they write entire articles without sources? The Herald Sun is one of the largest newspapers in Australia, and has a very large subscribed following. They...

    Coach Fyfe isn't the first player to be 'bumped and bruised' off the ball, and he won't be the last...So why the outrage from Lyon?

    Is it just me, or is this whole thing all a bit odd? As the title suggests, it seems a little strange how Lyon has come out and 'defended' his star player in Fyfe, when he used to be the king of employing tagging tactics? If anyone remembers Steven Baker at the Saints, he's the only player that...

    Round 17 Discussion and Venting: A.K.A. - Rookie Devastation

    Thought I'd open things up a bit earlier this week, as I'm sure we'll have a lot to discuss this weekend. As the title states, the below rookies have all been omitted this week: Logue Hately LDU Parker O. Baker Rose ...... ...... ...... Duursma o_O Barely any bench cover for most, and injury...

    Round 16 - Schrodinger's Gawn...The man who is both playing and not playing

    Gonna be a lot of venting this round me thinks! Only Grundy and Trel for me tonight, boorring. Sooner this round is over, the better Good luck everyone!

    Round 12 Venting & Discussion: Week 1 of the Byes - A.K.A the 7th Circle of Hell

    Carnage is upon us my friends, with more possible carnage in Yeo on the way and Sloane and Grundy also in doubt. Combine that with a lack of viable rook options and the already daunting task of fielding a full side, and I just know we're in for a fun few weeks Danger (C) - because I feel like...

    Is Flyin' Ryan's mark tonight, the best you've seen since Moorcroft and Walker?

    As the above states, this mark legitimately got me up out of my seat...and I was on the couch at home. I've watched it over 20 times, and it just gets better every time. No mark will ever beat Moorcroft's IMO, but Walker's comes close. Absolutely incredible display of jumping power and...

    Round 8 Venting & Discussion

    Still on Danger watch and not many rookie options available, should be an interesting round. With that said, very very boring tonight, with just Lloyd (who everyone has) and no-one else Good luck everyone!

    Was the recruitment of Lance 'Buddy' Franklin, the undoing of the Swans?

    A question that has been asked many times before, but is now gaining some serious traction. With Buddy's reduced input this year, due to injury, and the subsequent tumble down the ladder of the Swans, did Sydney trade away their future for the 'now'? While undoubtedly Buddy will go down as one...

    Luke Hodge vs the Balding Flog - Is There a Bigger Knob than Damien Barrett?

    In light of the media spat between Hodge and Barrett, thought I'd ask people's thoughts on who the biggest 'knob' (as Hodge so eloquently put it) in the AFL media is? Kane Cornes comes to mind, as does Tom Browne and Mark 'Robbo' Robinson, but after yesterdays comments, Barrett has elevated...

    Round 5 Venting and Discussion

    Round 5 is upon us! I'm sure by the end of tonight, there'll be several of us already looking to Round 6 Trades (Crisp and Treloar I'm looking at you) Good luck everyone!

    Trades Round 5 Trades, A.K.A - 'This round is already over for me, so let's focus on rage trades now...thread'

    Title says it all. If your weekend is pretty much already over like mine is, post your rage trades here now and get that sweet sweet feeling of knowing that it's only two more days 'til satisfaction is yours. My trades this week will come with a whimsical theme. I call them the '**** you Nathan...

    Despite the outside noise, our drafting has been quite good in the past few years

    Hey guys, As per the thread title, thought I'd post something to highlight our drafting, and how it actually flies in the face of popular opinion about our direction. Although yes, we have given away a lot of our draft picks for established stars, we also haven't neglected the draft entirely in...
