So yeah, it's been dire, demoralising, disgusting, disjointed, hard to watch, hard to comprehend, and hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
We are probably at the lowest point in our history and you can't escape the conclusion that there are deep internal problems. I've wanted to...
Apologies if it's been posted already (I couldn't find it), the 2020 leadership group was announced tonight, as follows:
Captain - JZ for the 4th year running
Joint Vice-Captains - Robbie Tarrant and Shaun Higgins
Leadership Group members - Jy Simpkin (yay), Jasper Pittard (yaaaaaayyy), Jamie...
The closing of the trade thread, whilst a merciful act, has left us with no point of discussion about the wider implications of what the f*** just happened. It's not just the disappointing trade period itself, but also the wider implications of what is going on internally, given the increasing...
(to the tune of Guantanamera)
Top of the ladder
We're on the top of the ladder
Top of the lad-der
We're on the top of the ladder
Enjoy the good times, boys and girls. :thumbsu:
OK, guys and gals. it's been a long pre-season. Obviously, we just can't wait for the real stuff to begin.
Unfortunately, the NAB Challenge is nothing like the real stuff. But it does give us a chance to have a meet-up for drinks. There have been plenty of posters, old and new, who have...
Dear Mr Sanderson,
On behalf of 28.13% of supercoaches, I hereby request that you play Brad Crouch for the next two rounds. He's a cash cow and we need the cash. I know he got injured, but he's better now.
Please don't give him the vest, either. Cash cows need maximum game time, I'm sure you...
I assume there is already a thread on this but I blame blackshadow for getting me too drunk to find it.
Anyway:
3. Swallow, by miles
2. Goldy, by metres
1. Cunners.
We were beaten easily by an extremely good team.
In ridding us all of the s**tstain on the competition.
Scumbag club, scumbag supporters.
Go suck on that, you stinking losers. You copped what you deserved.
Credit where due, Freo are playing great football and their first final win in Melbourne is much deserved.
I was hoping my mob could play as well as Freo did this weekend, but it wasn't to be.
Now on the purple haze bandwagon and hoping you guys can go all the way. :thumbsu:
From Al Paton of the Herald Sun, proving Caro and various other lazy incompetent fools masquerading as journalists have some stiff competition for lack-of-football-knowledge article of the year. See if you spot it:
THE Western Bulldogs have suspended young player Tom Liberatore for the rest of...
I'm sure that I'm not alone in getting keen on a handful of relatively under-the-radar players early on, and putting them into the team in the hope that I have chosen well enough to get an advantage. Here are the ones that I started with pre Round 1, and my assessment:
Jordan Lewis - done well...
In recent days, I have come across some particularly disturbing news relating to the unacceptable conduct of a senior AFL employee. I can only say that I'm "deeply offended" by this conduct and hope all like-minded people will join me in a call for the AFL to take decisive action.
The conduct...
I love a stoush with opposition supporters as much as the next loyal Kangas supporter, but I think we've drawn out all of the sookiness and lack of class of the Bombers supporters that we need to at this point. Simply put, they're furious at losing because they under-estimate our team, and...
Well, I'd like a dollar for every time someone posts that these two should be selected to play. Rookie list rules? What rookie list rules?
Here's a snippet from the AFL web site:
Rookie Players
* All clubs can maintain a rookie list of up to six players. Participation at the NAB AFL...
Now that Chad has provided results of the prestigious Big Footy NMFC Player of the Year 2010 (great work, Chad and Groggy :thumbsu:), and prompted by a comment by the ever reliable Mr R, I think it would be interesting to discuss how people see the B&F falling this year.
Here's my go at...
Shocking news. The pr0n industry has been lying to us.
Some of you might have noticed that in pr0n, "swingers" are always portrayed as hot, nubile, up-for-anything types. The type of people you'd like to get with. In fact, the type of people that wouldn't be one bit fazed if you turned up by...
The mind boggles at what a vindictive, bitter, self-centred little bitch this guy has proven himself to be.
The mind further boggles at the realisation there are still heaps of footy supporters who are prepared to see Aker's side of the story and say he was shafted by the Bulldogs.
Read the...
Jetlag's a bitch, but the upside is that you get to watch some late night TV.
Rage has been pretty awesome so far (except Oasis :thumbsd:). When the Sex Pistols came on, I hit the record. No reason to turn it off as yet, either.
Smooth Criminal now. OK!
From yet another very sucky article on BBB Hall's commendable behaviour in that he again avoided a violent brain snap. Funny really, in this vein, there should be an article on every other AFL player.

Being of more advanced years than the average BF poster, Collingwood's score yesterday, 9.22 (76), rang a vague bell for me. Then it hit me:
1977 Grand Final (drawn)
North Melbourne 9.22 (76)
Collingwood 10.16 (76)
Spooky.
I now have a new appreciation of what poor widdle Barry Hall goes through, after reading the following:
"Hall said immediately after the match that Thompson's continual niggle was ''disappointing'' and the umpires hadn't listened to his pleas for free kicks."
(from...
Many of us read the racing form guide from time to time, and whilst the serious punters prefer to analyse form themselves and ignore the comments by the racing editor, the majority will read the comments and be influenced by them when it comes time to bet.
In the same vein, here are my...
What a disgrace the reigning premiers were this year. How did their collective hearts shrink to pea-size in the space of 11 months?
Every time they had a chance to show some spirit and grab a chance to play finals football, they blew it. Didn't want it, obviously, which is just a disgrace from...
