    Business & Finance Making a career change

    Hey all, Haven't made a post on BigFooty for quite some time but thought I'd see what everyone else thinks about my dilemma. So I've worked in the IT industry for just over 10 years, working for a large telco for most of that time but in the last three years I've bounced around a fair bit and...

    Business & Finance Is the cost of living relative over time?

    I'm a late 20s, Gen Y, son of baby boomers who has been having an argument/discussion over the cost of living over time. My parents are both in their 60s, and forever talk about how hard they had it and how easy my generation has it, but I'm not so sure that is the case. The major topic of the...

    Food, Drink & Dining Out Work fridge etiquette

    The workplace i am currently working at has a lunch room with two fridges. I store some cheese and margarine/butter in the fridge to use for snacks. About a month ago, i noticed some of my cheese and butter had been used, but the culprit came forward and actually replaced the butter, so it...

    Opinion Nick Malceski

    What is everyone's thought on getting Malceski to the club as a FA? Our obvious weakness is our lack of foot skills coming out of defence. He would be the perfect player for that role in our defence. Could be the designated kicker from behinds and a good link man. Obviously, he's had problems...

    Coping with injuries

    Hey guys, Bit in the dumps at the moment due to the recurrence of a shoulder injury. Long story short, i dislocated my shoulder a couple weeks ago. The same shoulder that i had previous dislocations and subsequent reconstruction on. Had it reconstructed on in 2004, and hadn't had any issues with...

    Losing drivers license

    In a bit of a pickle at the moment. In the last 3-4 years I've managed to pick up a few speeding fines, which then got me to 12 demerit points, so i was issued with an option letter in December last year. The options were to either take the whack and lose my license for 3 months, or go on 12...

    Social Science Autopilot mode

    Do you ever find yourself operating in auto pilot? You do the things that you normally do, instead of what you were actually intending on doing. For example: The girlfriend and I car pool to work most mornings. Every now and then we go our separate ways, but I will still sometimes turn down the...

    Society & Culture Getting called the wrong name

    I am getting sick of people getting my name wrong. My name is common, not difficult to pronounce, and even when I do correct people, they still don't seem to click that my name isn't what they think it is! For the record, my name is Dean, however I have been misidentified by the following names...

    I injured my knee back in 2010, was told i had torn my ACL. Luckily, under the arthoscope, when i was having part of my meniscus removed, the doctor discovered that my ACL was onlky partially torn, and i didnt require a knee reco. Since then, I've gotten myself back into shape (lost 30kgs) and...

    Returning to footy after weight loss

    I have played footy for the majority of my youth, was only until about two years that I gave the game away. This was due to a number of factors, the major reason being a serious knee injury i suffered. Since 2010, I haven't played a game, but after losing a significant amount of weight through...

    If this weekend's games were poker hands

    In recent weeks i have rekindled my love for the game of poker, in its Texas holdem form, and have found myself trying to liken this weeks games to poker hands. Hawthorn vs Collingwood The hawks are strong favourites to win this game, id say their a 80-20 chance of beating us. In a poker hand...

    Reliving your gaming past

    Was a little bored yesterday, so for some reason, i thought I'd look through my collection of PC games. In my younger days i was mainly a PC gamer, and thankfully i have kept all these old games. The nostalgia that i felt was enormous. Most of the games in my collection are from the 90s and...

    Cars & Transportation Motorcyclists - What is your opinion of them?

    I regularly hear complaints from friends and family and in the media, about cyclists on the roads. However, being a motorcyclist, i rarely hear complaints for people about us being on the roads. I am the stereotypical motorcyclist. I ride fast, i split traffic, i weave in and out of traffic and...

    MPNFL league divisions

    Am i the only one who thinks that the MPNFL should revert back to a division system based on results rather than geographical location? The recent results in Casey Cardinia have shown the gulf between the big clubs such as Narre and Cranny, versus the smaller clubs such as HP, and Devon in...

    Travis Cloke & lack of free kicks

    Was going to post my gripe on the main board, but figured id be labelled a whinger and the like, so figured id raise it here. Travis Cloke is extremely stiff when he comes to drawing free kicks. Nearly everytime he gets in a wrestle with an opponent, he is held, scragged, arms chopped etc, but...

    Players diving into players

    With the recent injuries to Ablett and Rohan, even Macaffer in the preseason, were all caused by the recklessness of the opposition player diving in shoulder/head first into the players legs. In both instances, the player diving in has basically bowled into the opposition player standing there...

    Social Science Social media: What's next?

    For me, using the internet to socialise began when i was about 14-15 using MSN Messenger and hotmail. It was a daily thing for me to spend most of my nights chatting away to friends via MSN Messenger. At times you would have many people online chatting away. Then by the time i was in Yr 12, MSN...

    Backline designated kicker

    Our main issue so far this year has been our ability to break through the zone in the backline. Opposition teams seem to be having little problems with breaking through our defensive press, yet we are slow and sloppy coming out of the backline. My question is, who is our go to man for designated...

    Misc Footy how long is too long to be out of the game?

    I have played footy for most of my life. Played Auskick from a young age, then started playing competitively when i was 11-12. Injuries have slowed me down since i was 17 (now 24). In the last 6-7 years ive only managed 1 full season of footy without a missing a game. The reason for this was...

    Was about 15-16, my mate and I would have our parents take turns in taking us to footy training. My mum is driving us home one night after training. Mum says "I have got you something". Im thinking what the hell could this be, its not my b'day or anything special. She then proceeds to pull out a...

    AFL Live 2011 PS3 online cheaters

    I swear i just played a game where the other player was using some sort of cheat. It seemed like it was just laggy at first, weird stuff was happening. But as i kept playing i realised it was just him getting it. Seemed like his players were ultra fast, and the ball would suddenly go missing...
