    Australia A vs India A (2 "Unofficial Tests")

    Surprised to see there's no thread for this given the interest in the bat-off for the Test team's opening spot. Here's the squads: Australia A: Nathan McSweeney (c), Cameron Bancroft, Scott Boland, Jordan Buckingham, Cooper Connolly, Ollie Davies, Brendan Doggett, Marcus Harris, Sam Konstas...

    Shield Tasmania Tigers vs South Australia Redbacks - Bellerive Oval - 11-14 March (Round 10)

    An outright win sures up Tassie hosting the final. Anything else opens the door for WA if they can win outright against NSW, who are also trying to make the final. Tassie rested Meredith, and half way through the final session SA are on 9/257 - which looks a pretty good day 1 total on a green top.

    Tas Tasmanian Election 2024 edit: the 2025 redux edition?

    The AFL team/stadium/training centre is set to come to a head with an early election in Tassie. The Libs will be confident in winning back the 2 seats that went independent during this term imo.

    Society & Culture What did you buy yourself for Christmas?

    As a 40 year old who spends most Christmases alone, I find it a pretty good excuse to lash out on a good Christmas present for myself. This year my vape store gave me a free $750 vape; I've just gone and picked myself up a real nice set of Wusthof knives (I might've preferred Shun, but stock...

    Entertainment & Music So who DID make the gravy?

    It's the 21st of December, and now they're ringing the last bell... I know many people are fascinated by the unspoken reason that Joe is inside. Me? I want to know who ended up making the gravy. Was it Dan, who Joe seems to think wants to step into his shoes in all aspects of his life? Did...

    Employment Applying to jobs outside your quals/experience

    I don't think I'll ever understand how I fell into this weird mish-mash of writing, stakeholder relations, media advising, graphic designing and para-legaling... but man I hate it. I fell into a job that is 80% dealing with people (either the public or colleagues) despite the fact that I really...

    Big Footy Match of the Week club

    I want to start the BF Wrestling Board’s version of book club. This is an idea that I’ve been thinking about to try and foster a bit of a community & discussion, and maybe a bit of increased communal wrestling nerddom/sense of history. (I started thinking about it after I watched Rey vs Eddie...

    RIP Andrew Symonds

    Devastating news so soon after Warnie :( Taken from The Age: Former Australian cricket star Andrew Symonds has died in a car accident. Police released a statement saying they were investigating a single-vehicle crash in Hervey Range, around 50 kilometres from Townsville, that taken the life...

    Society & Culture Great places to live in Australia

    I was surprised a thread didn't already exist for this, especially after the last year. I doubt I'm the only thinking "do I need to live in a major city? I like Melbourne, but I'm not sure I love it at the moment." No doubt people would have different definition of what's a great place to live...

    Travel Best places in Victoria to visit?

    It's that time of year I think... the weather is crap, we don't have any long weekends for a while, and it's time to escape the grind, and to escape Melbourne for 4 or 5 days. I'm not a great flyer - certainly not good enough that I'm getting on a plane to SE Asia for 5 days - but I do love...

    Family & Relationships Sperm donation - anyone done it?

    I looked for a thread, but it was 7 years old and had gone off the rails. A friend of mine is married to her (female) partner, and they want to have a kid. They're in the process of figuring out the best way to do it - ie. someone they know, that they have a relationship with, and who may have...

    A-League Week 8 Discussion & Tips

    None of the usual suspects have posted a thread this week, so I guess I will. Thursday: Central Coast Mariners have beaten Perth Glory 2-0. Friday: Western Sydney Wanderers vs Brisbane Roar @ Spotless Stadium 7.50pm Saturday: Melbourne Victory vs Newcastle Jets @ AAMI Park 5.35pm...

    Play Nice Eddie McGuire comments on holding Caro Wilson underwater

    I'm surprised no one has posted this. Perhaps it's a symptom of a wider problem - but I don't know that for sure. Friday's Outer Sanctum podcast highlighted that on Monday's Triple M Rub during the Big Freeze, 2 days before the Women's League announcement and 5 days before last night's White...

    AFL Record Season Guide

    Sorry for creating a new thread - dunno why, it's just something I don't like doing, especially to ask a pretty simple question. I got an AFL member email a few weeks ago with some discount offers if you pre-bought AFL Record Vouchers, or if you pre-ordered the "AFL Record Guide". What is this...

    Hyundai A-League 2015/16: Round 8 Discussion

    Sydney FC should be fined for bringing the league into disrepute. They are ****ing putrid to watch. At least the post-game was amusing. Joel Griffiths was rubbish to listen to until the post match when he slapped the bullshit right out Corica's mouth :D:D:D

    Impact of the TV deal on stadiums - buy Etihad or build a boutique?

    I thought this post was probably best placed here, rather than in the larger discussion about the tv deal - it's really more focused on stadia. The title really says it all. For over a decade we've had the smaller clubs getting reamed by terrible deals at Etihad Stadium. As we know, the AFL...

    Pets Pet friendly accommodation in Melbourne

    BF is hopefully going to be a great place to ask about pet friendly accommodation! Many people here from Melbourne who may know about surrounding hotels, and many interstaters who travel for footy. Anyway, hopefully I'm asking in the right spot. Does anyone know of good pet-friendly...

    Fantasy booking - the WCW invasion

    This thread might fail worse than WWE's actual invasion angle... but my back is buggered, and one of the things I've done to pass the time is watch a few shoot interviews. By far and away the best shoot series are the "Guest Booker" series by Kayfabe Commentaries (so much so that I'm actually...

    nobby's sports bet tracker

    hmmm turns out I am enough of a narcissistic to have my own bet tracker thread! About me: I need to quit betting on horses. Typically I win on AFL and NRL, lose it during the spring carnival, win on NFL (and recently on NCAA football), and then lose it during the Autumn carnival. But luckily...

    BF - where long term planning goes to die

    I love BF. I stay away during the off-season, because I find that 6 months of discussion about nothing becomes nauseating. Not even a full round into the new season, and I'm already nauseated... To read just the first page tonight, and last Sunday night... North are going in the wrong...

    Embracing the fans

    as an eagles fan, it hurts me to pay credit to freo for anything. but they have set a new standard in AFL footy in how the embrace their fans. while my teams fans have a reputation (unfairly, in my view) of being chardonay sippers, Freo are directing their fans towards being the crazy, rabid...

    NAB Cup Fixtures - Round 4

    from afl.com.au i know the Giants are trying to encaptulate Canberra as well, but how does playing the Swans game in Blacktown help the Giants establish their territory? typical short-sightedness from the AFL - I think there was still cricket at Manuka yesterday, yesterday's game in Albury...

    singo reckons it should happen as a matchrace in sydney over 1300m. what do u reckon? id love to see it, but i think black caviar would win easily (despite being a huge fan of more joyous. even better would be a rich ($5m), 5 horse, invitation only race, whose distance would be flexible...

    Education & Reference What do you want for Christmas?
