    Best Small Forward in the League?

    Who's the best small/medium at the moment? Usually there's an obvious one like Eddie Betts, but it's not like that at the moment. Players that come to my mind are Toby Greene, Jordan DeGoey and Orazio Fantasia. Thoughts?

    AFL to "Crack Down" on Deliberate Time Wasters

    Yay, just what the game needs, more ambiguity. I wonder what Margetts can craft up with this rule? Discuss. Source: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-06/afl-to-crack-down-on-deliberate-time-wasters-

    Expansion Non-Expansion Teams with Academies?

    So, in the next draft, North Melbourne get access to a player in Tarryn Thomas that I am sure a lot of recruiters would love to have access to. But for some reason North Melbourne get access to him as though he were a father/son or academy pick purely because he's from Hobart. Why does a...

    On Paper - 2018: Best and Worst Defense, Midfield and Forward Lines?

    G'day BFFs from BF. Just wondering who everyone thinks has the best and worst defense, midfield and forward line 2018 on paper? I think West Coast have the best defense. Geelong have the best midfield. Adelaide have the best forward line. North Melbourne have the worst defense. Gold Coast...

    How good was that? Remove the draw in H&A

    My god, what a finish. A famous moment, all because the draw was not a thing. I reckon they should remove the draw in home and away and bring in extended time like that. Incredible game, great for footy.

    Poll: Who's Making the 8? - Round 21 Edition

    The race for finals in 2017 has become a tight one, perhaps the tightest since 1993. Figured I'd make a thread with a poll so that we could look at what every one things visually, and discuss who we think will be in the final 8 at the end of the season and in what order. Here are the details...

    Moving to Melbourne from Hobart - Need Local Knowledge

    Hi guys, My partner and I have to move to Melbourne for 2 years in February. I'll be working at the immigration building in town (corner of Lonsdale and Spring) as I've got a graduate position there.

    Biggest draft steal in the last 5 drafts?

    Hey all, I was thinking about how much of an absolute gun Luke Parker has been for Sydney. He was taken at pick 40 in 2010, I remember Essendon fans being pissed as we picked Ariel Steinberg before him, who's now been delisted, when midfield was a real concern. Who is the biggest draft steal...

    T20 AFL Cricket League - Who would win?

    Hey guys, interested in who the handy cricket players are at your team, including recently retired players. I know Bartel was a gun cricketer, and Lynch from Adelaide was a handy bowler. Which AFL list would win a T20 comp? Who are your best cricketers?

    Tasmanian A-League Bid - Close to Being Fully Backed by FFA

    I have not watched a single game of A-League, however, if Tassie get a team, consider me all in. "Key facilitator in Tasmania’s surprise bid for the A-League, former NSL star and local product David Clarkson thinks that the consortium attempting to bring an A-League team to the Apple Isle for...

    2nd Test - Australia vs. South Africa @ Bellerive Oval (Nov 12-16)

    Top 3 Players in the 2016 AFL draft - Call it now!

    So, the number 1 draft pick has never(?) been the best player in a draft pool, however there's usually 2-3 players better, if not more. Usually two inside first round, and one absolute ripper much later. Note: The below table is just an example, no need to take it off topic and turn it into a...

    Autopsy Only the 22 that Played, Getting a Medal - Time For a Change

    Hey guys, I have been saying for years that every player that played a game throughout the year for the club should get a metal, as they've all contributed. The moment between Beveridge and Murphy was special, but shouldn't need to have happened. Imagine going all the way through your career...

    The Hat Thread - Ode to Walker

    This thread is purely for reporting hats within the game of the AFL. Embrace this thread, calling it shit means you are not passionate about hats, but we know it's an important topic as the AFL media constantly tell us it is. Hats are not to be discussed on bigfooty outside this thread. History...

    Brisbane or Hawthorn, the Better Three-peat?

    Now that the four-peat is dead, who do you think was the better three-peat and why? Brisbane 2001, '02 and '03 or Hawthorn 2013, '14 and '15. I think Brisbane, they defeated an Essendon side in 2001 that looked unbeatable. "If it bleeds you can kill it". Hawthorn's 3peat was during a time that...

    Fantasia vs. Sicily vs. Hunt

    Orazio Fantasia, James Sicily and Jayden Hunt. These three were taken 55, 56 and 57 respectively in the 2013 draft. Some fantastic late drafting by the recruiting staff of their clubs. All three look like players, which will be the best player at the end of their career?

    Magic: The Gathering

    Hey guys, never really thought about it until tonight, that some people on Bigfooty might play MTG. Footy and MTG are my two passions and have been since I was a teenager. Is there anyone who plays on here? When did you start? Do you play competitively or casually? Cheers, BPB.

    Clayton Oliver vs Darcy Parish - Who will finish their career better?

    Quite simple, who will finish their career as the better player, looks like a close race. Clayton Oliver taken at pick 4 for the Demons, looks a Patrick Dangerfield types, explosive clearance player, who's as hard as diamond. Was my favourite player in the draft last year. Got the round 1...

    Preview 2015 AFL Draft: A Superdraft like 2001?

    So, as we know, the 2001 draft was a god draft. I feel like have seen some glimpses in the NAB Challenge, of some serious talent from the 2015 draftees. This is mainly here for a bookmark, just in case I am right, but feel free to tell me I am correct from now if you like. We saw Weitering get...

    The Future - Your Bold Predictions for 2015 Draft Players.

    Pretty simple, make a bumpable thread, so you can show how smart you are. I am going to say: - Hipwood, Schache and Keays will be Brisbane's Buddy, Roughead and Lewis. - Matthew Kennedy will be the best player in the draft. - Charlie Curnow won't be a succesful player.

    Stuff you just realised, that made you feel stupid.

    Thought I'd make a thread, because we do this all the time. Figured we could laugh at each others stupidity. I'll start. I just realized that the Commonwealth Bank logo is the southern cross with the dots connected. You go!

    Ben Brown

    How the hell did this kid fall through the cracks? He could be a genuine superstar. Great pick up by North Melbourne. He was a talented youngster. Love watching him play! I reckon he's up there with Cameron, Boyd, Hogan, McCarthy and Daniher as far as Young forwards go.

    Is Parko past it?

    Parko on "League teams" just said that Mundy and Neale are B graders and are only on the same level as Clancee Pearce, and called Barlow a legit A-grader (he's been playing a more defensive role). Everyone else on the panel, sort of went quiet, followed by all of them correcting him. Is he 2...
