Let's see how this goes: This is a Wordle game using the names of Crows players. - All players who have played at least one game for the Crows, with 5-character surnames (there are 45 in total - names, that is, not players, there are some duplicates). If you want to learn how to play Wordle...

Well, it's time to follow and dissect the off season / pre season. I'll start with this update from the Club: https://www.afc.com.au/news/1207926?fbclid=IwAR3pTxkNTm0xBJmGeXguZuwMx8Vog48Ip_FWFFJGvJiER-7K077KqE0lK34

From the "Crom" thread - let's profile the Adelaide Board! Enter your Gen in the poll. Your vote is private. Don't use that as an excuse to lie :)

I thought it might be an idea to start an ongoing discussion of how the "Stand" rule is working out. I'll start with a cross-thread quote: I'm working off a sample size of one game :) but I thought the rule worked well - not a negative, and in some ways a positive for the flow of the game...

So, apparently the bidding war for the Grand Final has begun, and I believe that figures of $30+ million are being bandied around (for a State to pay the AFL / Victorian Government) for the rights...

This is a common point of discussion, so I thought it might be worthy of a thread. I'll begin - long post alert :) 1. I don't believe the AFC (or any club) should be expected to respond to every story / rumour in the media. It's not a good use of time and energy, it can just give oxygen to...

Simple mini-comp. All R15 games have a strong favourite. Surely they won't all get up. Pick your upset. Give reasons if you like. (Sean Connery voice) one ping (tip) only. No prizes :) Edit: Poll added.

(Post edited to allow for better info to hand re position of wings) As we all know, the AFL is introducing the "6-6-6" rule for 2019. The official AFL statement / text about the rule is here: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-11/new-rules-revealed-nine-changes-for-2019 (I have edited this...

The 2018 Match-Worn Guernsey auction is now on. https://shop.afc.com.au/auctions/ Hugh Greenwood has got off to a bolter - $421 at time of writing, ahead of Eddie Betts on $320. Is this a donkey vote? Can Hugh hold his lead, or will someone make a late charge? Will anyone be left stranded on...

Board needs less SPP, less MCG, and a day off from #lolport. There's a game tonight, team, and a Fog is coming in! Fire it up!

AFL Resources: Laws of the Game, Draft, Father-Son, Free Agency etc etc etc From time to time we have discussions that rely on knowing / interpreting the official AFL rules on a given subject. Often people will discover and post links to information sources, but these aren’t gathered into a...

Scientists have discovered an amazing phenomenon! The Juno probe is picking up fragments of Australian TV shows from the future – spinning out of the Red Spot. The first fragment has just been decoded – here is the transcript: Talking Footy, Monday 11 September (finals week 1) Luke Darcy...

Now that we've completed the first full minor round under this new rule, it's time to have a look at how it has worked and how it could be improved. Remember the AFL Rules Committee closely watches BigFooty and the Adelaide Board in particular, as having the highest concentration of footy...

In looking for something to use in a post, I googled "Talia". One of the less sexist images :) to come up was this: So I thought to myself - "Self? What happens if you Google player surnames? And would Bigfooty posters be able to guess the name from the image?" Clearly "Talia" was never...

Here's his latest effort (hope i get this right - it's on the 5AA website) http://www.fiveaa.com.au/embed/audio.aspx?id=105639 This guy is just outstanding - what a pleasure to have a coach who is so enthusiastic, upbeat and straight talking. It's enthusiasm and positivity that must be...

I can't make Saturday's game :( - so would anyone like to use my season ticket? Bay 129, Row K (outer side, just north of centre) PM me your email address - first one can have it (via the "forward your ticket" option) - First time I've used this, hope I can make it work :D - Will check back...

There's been a bit of discussion lately about the HTB rule, in particular the situation where a player (e.g. Dogga last night) is pinned under several other players, can't get rid of the ball, and is pinged for "not making a genuine effort". I'd like to make a suggestion for fixing this. Three...

The whole Bernie Vince thing got me thinking about how the AFL and the clubs are giving ground every time there's a minor player "incident" and how this is in fact not acting in the interests of the AFL or the players. I'd like to share some thoughts with the Big Footy crew: (Mods - I'm not...

Hello Suns people: I wonder if anyone here can tell us on the Adelaide Board: (We are discussing the Nathan Bock betting issue from last weekend) - Where was Bock named when the teams were published before the game? Was he named up forward? Does anyone have a Footy Record or somesuch...

Who were the TV commentators for the Crows-Suns game on 20 August? My notes say "JD" and "MW" but my brain has frozen. Who were they??? :( Edit: OK, Jason Dunstall. Duh. MW?

I'd like to hear some ideas from the many great footy brains* on this forum, on this subject: Which players can improve significantly in 2012-2013 under a new coach/coaching panel, and why / what does that coach have to do to achieve this? (Structures, game plan, role or position for the...

Just to take our minds off weightier matters.... a la the Coodabeen Champions segment... Police and Security staff trolling up and down the aisles at Footy Park, looking sternly around like teachers in a class room of naughty children. Get rid of it! :mad: Any others?

I'd like to see what the best and brightest minds on BigFooty (i.e. the Adelaide Board) have to think/say about what we might see in new / winning game plans in 2011 - especially for Adelaide. It seems to me there are going to be be quite a few changes around the AFL, given the state of the top...

jo172 said this in another thread: I think this is a good point, and worthy of some discussion. It might make a change from "Burton out / Walker in" threads :) To the extent that anyone can make rules about their own threads (i.e. not at all, but I'll try anyway), I'd like to suggest that...

He's too old. He doesn't have enough experience. He's been coaching for too long. He's lost the players. The players love him too much. The players don't like him. He's too much of a hard taskmaster and schoolteacher. The players are having too much fun. He places too much emphasis on...

This occurred to me while reading about "staging / diving" and discussion of players who (allegedly) move in a way designed to attract illegal contact (eg ducking head). As a contrast, I admire the player who always makes it his priority to (a) get the ball and (b) move it on without worrying...

I know that this subject has been done to death many times in different threads, but I wonder if we could occupy some of the off season with a discussion of game plan (and inevitably coaching) from which we all might learn from each other’s thoughts and insights? I know I would (learn, that...

So, while we're waiting for Kurt to sign his contract :) I'd like to suggest something for discussion... We all know the debate that has gone on for some time - is the AFL sanitising the game too much, is the bump dead, etc - and the controversy surrounding some of this year's big hits such...

There’s been a lot of talk on the main board about our R19 loss to Collingwood and what it means for this week. I’m sure we all agree that Adelaide is doing a lot better in the attacking department since then, so I thought I’d play with the stats to see if I can quantify it. - Noting of...
