    Are non-Victorian teams' fans killing their own clubs?

    I've been thinking this since last weekend when I was in Perth and seeing a large amount of non-Eagles non-Dockers fans out and about. And I developed a theory. The current TV deal. Where the non-victorian teams have a monopoly on fta TV in their own state. Leads to the TV networks ensuring...

    AFLW When should Tassie join?

    I was thinking about this topic yesterday. Should they wait till 2027 for when the mens come in, or should they come in sooner? I personally like the idea of them entering the league sooner to garner support for the national side. The fans might rock up in huge numbers and get behind the...

    Why dont umpires return to their traditional white uniform?

    I understand why the yellow, darker green and red uniforms were implemented all those years ago as alot of teams had white clash strips. Then I understand why it morphed into the lighter green to have a more standardised kit. But with clubs slowly ditching white away strips, why don't the...

    Did the ANZAC Day match cause more damage to the Bombers-Magpies rivalry than it helped

    I was just having a look at the crowd stats between these 2 teams. All crowds at the MCG (Only fair way to do it tbh) 8 meetings at the MCG prior to the ANZAC Day game - 87,507 8 meetings on ANZAC Day 1995-2002 - 84,687 8 meetings not on ANZAC Day 1995-2002 - 64,414 After a rich history...

    Are Collingwood afraid of the Mighty Adelaide Crows?

    True, stupid question. They obviously are. Otherwise they wouldn't be deliberating for so long about whether to attend our game in Adelaide on Saturday. Instead, they're trying to weasel their way out of it and get the game moved to Sydney. The AFL should put their foot down. Play where it's...

    Floating Fixture - Good or Bad?

    I was wondering what the thinktank of BigFooty things of the floating fixture that we've seen this year. In previous years I was really in favour of it. Seeing the benefits to the networks to draw in a greater profit and the game. However, seeing it in effect this year has made me flip. You...

    2021 Grand Final should be moved to the SCG

    All the heavy lifting done by NSW to get us through the covid scare in 2021 should be rewarded.

    The AFL should ban Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond and Port Adelaide from ANZAC Day.

    Why do I say these 4 clubs? It's due to their behavior during The Great War. Every other club currently in the AFL sat out at one point during the Great War and contributed to the war effort. But these 4 clubs? They're the only one of the current 18 who played throughout the war entirely...

    As a neutral - Who have you supported in each Grand Final.

    Just wondering what people think. I started to get into the game in the mid 90s, and with the exception of 99 and some of the Hawks 3peat I've watched most. But for me 1997 - Not neutral 1998 - Not neutral 1999 - Neutral - No strong feelings either way about Carlton and North. 2000 - Melbourne...

    Marvel Stadium - Does the roof have to stay open?

    With a limit on indoor range gatherings being 100, would the AFL have to turn Marvel Stadium into an outdoor venue this season? Once you take into account players, coaches, trainers, medicos, physics, tv crew, commentators etc. The total would be larger than 100 overall. Because of this. Will...

    I've decided to reset all conferences to what they were in the 2001 season (the first season with the conferences which existed in 2012) to the rules of the conference back then (MAC Championship is to be played at highest ranked team rather than in Detroit, Big XII Championship in Dallas etc.)...

    Unseen Finals - 2019 Edition

    In 2017 I had a look at this out of curiosity, but I thought Id share a few useless stats to the remainder of the public Out of the 153 potential matchups in between the current 18 iterations. We've seen 109 of them. Meaning we still have 44 matchups we're yet to see. This current finals...
