    Conferences: In Case of Covid Emergency Break Glass

    Now I'll be the first to admit that I haven't gone through the fixturing implications, but if Victoria's Covid situation continues and the season is in threat due to players refusing to stay away from home for a long time, could a conference system save the day? Conferences would be Victorian...

    Things with more computing power than the Big Footy servers

    Given the propensity for the Big Footy to crash when the excitement level exceeds watch grass grow levels, chief is obviously in need of some serious hardware upgrades. I thought we could suggest some simple, cost effectives solution for our down-at-the-heel friend.

    Strategy If we beat the Lions, do you want to play at the Gabba or Metricon?

    As the title says, if we beat the Lions, and assuming we can pick our preferred ‘home ground’, would you prefer playing at the Gabba or Metricon? We’re 2 wins from 2 games at the Gabba, and 6 from 6 at Metricon (including wins against Geelong, Lions and West Coast). Likely opponents are Geelong...

    Light up the G

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/442729/magpies-and-tigers-fans-face-off-in-social-comp While I'm normally not one for this type of marketing fairy floss, the idea of lighting up the pies home game in yellow and black tickles my fancy in disturbing and unhealthy ways. Surely these ferals don't have...

    Post and Thread of the DECADE

    I can't believe that with 15 days to go our useless bag of campaigners (also known as posters) haven't come up with a post or thread of the decade! PLEASE ... nominate the best you've known of since you've been here, whether it be 1 year or 10. We'll sort out the rest of the s**t later, but be ready...

    Prediction How many GWS tickets will we get?

    Bit of a game. How many tickets will GWS hand over to Tiger supporters by not using their allocation? Each club gets 17,000. Closest to the pin wins interwebs points. 11,216 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gill the Dill or Rockin McLachlan?

    Personally I’m not overly impressed with the directions Gillon McLachlan has taken our great code in. I was wondering about the man and did a bit of research into his history (ok, I spent 5 minutes on Wikipedia). I must say I was very surprised at the breadth of his experience – or should I say...

    Cardinal Pell honorary role with Richmond - Is this the last straw?

    Sorry mods, I know this will be a lightening rod for all sorts of crapola, but hopefully we can have a moderately civil discussion. As per Mattt's closed thread, Gale has previously stated: "Cardinal George Pell will keep his honorary role at AFL club Richmond as he faces sex offence charges...

    Was 2017 a weak year, and is this a bad thing?

    The AFL has been pushing for equalisation for some time now. With an 18 team comp and the introduction of the two new teams finally settling down (i.e. the draft is no longer heavily compromised) the last two years may be the new norm. There have been a fair few comments around my team wining...

    The Redemption of the EFC - will it or how will it be achieved?

    Purely hypothetical. Lets assume (without any judgement) for the purposes of this thread the following: EFC players will be suspended next season. The EFC is in fact a very valuable asset to the AFL, one which they don't want to lose (little assumption needed here). How will the EFC and AFL...

    Some prick of a mod will probably move this to the music board (not doing myself any favours here am I? :) ), but anyway ... What is the best lyric set you know of? Not a phrase, not a whole song, so approximately between 2-8 lines. Don't tell us where they're from .. let it be guessed...

    2 years on, what do you think of the Giants branding?

    Thread was inspired by this nice bit of cross town pot shotting: http://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/2013-10-03/gman-resigns Thanks shepp for posting it. Reading it, I suddenly thought how natural the Giants name and colours felt to me now, and considering I thought it was all a bit "meh" to...

    In tears when interviewed by Dermie on fox just now. Looks gone to GWS for all money.

    Toast Best Opposition Poster

    I'd like to propose a toast to those opposition supporters who contribute to both this board, and discussions about the RFC across the site as a whole. I am of course not talking about sycophantic sucking up posters, but those opposition supporters who genuinely add to the discussion about our...

    Settle a Bet

    A supporter of Team A bet supporter of Team B a slab of beer on "who would finish higher". Note that there is no definition of whether this bet relates to the H&A season or finals. Team B finished the H&A season higher on the ladder (with 4 extra wins), but both teams are now playing in the...

    Can the EFC regain the trust of its supporters?

    One thing that doesn't seem to have been discussed yet is how the EFC spin has effected it's supporter base, whether trust has been lost, and if so can it be rebuilt or is the damage likely to be enduring? One problem is that the club has allowed a constant narrative early in the year of "we...

    Toast Can you believe we're 5th (revisit your start of year predictions)?

    To start with, I am absolutely gobsmacked we're currently 5th on the ladder. Better yet, with a potential % booster this week and a very winnable final game we have a damned good chance of maintaining that position come year's end. Yes, yes, some teams have been worse than expected, some...

    2 Tickets for Sydney Game Spare

    Hi Guys, I've got 2 free tickets to the Sydney game just waiting for a keen Tiger supporter to use them. You'll need to pick them up from Surry Hills. PM me if you're interested.

    For NSW Members: Sydney game substitute tickets closed

    If you are an Interstate / Country member and live in Sydney the substitute tickets for the Sydney game are now closed. Having said this, I just called up and got what they said were some of the last tickets available under the substitute scheme. So if you haven't done so call up now. You may...

    Universal Love The last time we were 8 and 4 ...

    ... was the 23rd of June to the 1st of July 2001. Of course, we went on to finish 4th at the end of the home and away season, and 2001 was the last time we played finals. Ultimately we were bundled out by a rampant Brisbane on their way to the first of their threepeat, but as pleased as I am...

    Six Team Finals Series - How would you achieve it?

    Lets face it, this is what we all want. Teams 7 and 8 have always been uncompetitive, and a bit of a waste of finals time. Teams 5 and 6 could generally be regarded as either "on the cusp" or "sneakies", and worth a punt. But, there is no way we would ever go back to less finals games. So the...

    Premiership Efficiency Ranking Updated for 2013

    Essendon guilty verdict hypothetical

    Hypothetically speaking, just say the investigation only wraps up in late August (which is what looks likely). The Bombers are top 4 but are found guilty of breaching WADA, with 6-12 players found to have "doped" and facing suspensions. What happens? The AFL is left in a situation where a top...
