It's simple mathematics, a two year deal beats a one year deal every time. and speaking of mathamatics this from Champion Data's AFL Prospectus 2006 "Bryan's ruckwork in 2005 was BEST in the competition with 38% of his hitouts going to advantage" Plus he gets to ball around the ground, hits the...

Call me a a masochist but I forced myself to watch that Coll v Freo abomination of a football match again. If you take out O'Bree's and Lonie's feeble efforts that cost the side goals, we conceeded 5 or 6 goals from missed tackles. It seems to me that at the moment we would have to be one of the...

Well despite Sezzaq telling us all he has the current NAB teams for the championships he has yet to produce any, says it all really. Unlike the Draft and trading board blowhard I can produce the goods. Here is the WA team. 1 Garry MOSS 2 Chris MASTEN 3 Shawn COLBUNG 4 Leroy JETTA 5...

Well, I gave Sezzaq1 and chance and clearly he hasn't come up with the goods. The Vic Metro team and numbers brought to you by Pieman. 1 Dean KELLY 2 Patrick VESZPREMI 3 Matthew KREUZER 4 Jarryd ALLEN 5 Sam MONAGHAN 6 Matthew LONG 7 David McKAY 8 Nick SMITH 9 Tom HAWKINS 10 Rhyce...

Apparently his head was filled with an overdose of Collingwood and this sensory overload has lead to a breakdown. Doctors have told us the labotomy hasn't taken and the bolts have worked their way free so expect more garbled jibberish from the closet Coolingwood fan. In other news Richmond...

...Mohammed el Zawahri blown to smithereens! In others news, Essendon continue to be crap. AAP:)

Unfortunately one of Queensland's better prospects is out of the championships. After a sickening head clash his ear was almost torn off and he went straight to hospital to have immediate surgery. The injury will rule him out of the NAB championships. It shouldn't hurt his draft stock to much...

This 'shell' of man could be descibed as a comedy OR a tragedy. How were the Hawks able to extort two first round picks for this bloke? This would be close to this biggest crime since the rape of Nanking.

For those of you wanting the Chad dropped ask yourself who he was playing on and how did his opponent go and how many goals did he kick? Played almost a full game at half back and was rock solid I thought. And like some, I had visions of Stretch getting monstered by Charman and McDonald but what...

I have to admit I've been a fan of Sheeds ever since he left his marquee function at the Camberwell sports ground, grabbed his gear and started bowling his leggies at the youngster that was me in the mid nineties at cricket training. I showed the great man plenty of respect too, even though he...

There was a vigorous debate on this board about 'tanking' last year. The way I saw it we were going to struggle to win a game because literally half the team was out, but the one hurdle would be losing to a woeful Carlton team. I said at the time, as painful as it was, that I would rather lose...

I'm staggered that Terry is copping so much heat for the game style the Tigers employed against the Crows. He should be congratulated for exposing the 'uglyball' style that they themselves play. When the opposition gain posession the Crows players stream back into defense (flood) and wait...

... matchup in the history of the AFL? That was a Luke Godden/Simon Beaumont type of crucifiction. It looks like the eccentric one has finally lost his mind.:eek:

And no, Mr Connolly wasn't talking about Polly but Fremantle's Jeff! That Chris Connolly, what a comedian!

I'm not happy about mick's 'opinion' that our supporters are unique in that we are either very very good or very very bad. I wouldn't put our fanaticism above any other group of supporters, it's just that there's more of us. I will say that the majority of us stick thick in the tough times...

as an AFL footballer. I've stood up for plenty of our players over the years but with Davies I don't see it. I thought I'd post this after a win that way it looks less like a whinge, but in a tight game he cost us 2 goals in the first half, one to Nathan Lonie and the other to that brain fart of...

No newspaper article seems complete without a reference to the young Hawks and all the associated cliches. If you have a look at the ten youngest from each side on the weekend I don't see much difference. Birchill 18 - Thomas 18 Lewis 19 - O'Brien 19 Roughead 19 - T Cloke 19...

I'm confused:confused: On the footy show last night I hear that our new training oval will be on the sight of the old Olympic park. In today's Age it says our new training oval will be on the sight of Gosch's paddock, which having played cricket there many years ago is a good 10 minute walk...

This will be my final post regarding Richie. I have to admit I'm a bit biased, I saw the kid play often for the Ranges, the Box Hill City Oval being ten minutes walk from my place. He was a slashing wingman with electrifying speed and skill and ALL the recruiters gave each other knowing nods in...

Who from your club could give him a run for his money? I would have said Richie Cole last year, but I reckon Hungry Lance and Dean Rioli are two that have the necessary 'skills' to knock the boy from the land of the rising sun off his pirch.

I was disappointed to read this morning that Colin Wisbey is seriously thinking of withdrawing a majority of his FREE profiles because of a large collection of knobs who don't like what he has to say about their new players. Well given that the majority of these people when it comes to junior...

More chins than a Chinese phone book, wasn't the Essendon fitness staff going to get him back on track? Damn turtle meat, it goes straight onto your hips, just ask Dean Rollie Pioli.

I can recall a philosophical discussion I had with another Bigfooty poster after the championships regarding Tim Looby. He though he should have been All Australian where as most good judges didn't think he was even close. Like I said at the time, take away his kicking and there's nothing else...

Every year the media covering the draft get criticized for doing a poor job. So how can the coverage be improved and what information do people want to hear?

For the majority of people the draft is a boring exercise featuring the reading out of names most people have never heard of preceeded by serial numbers as long as your arm, ie "Player number 12459344 Joe Blow Calder Cannon's" followed by analysis using generic terms like "inside midfielder with...

... so why go to Arizona? Maybe for a quick visit to the Canyon, it is spectacular. :thumbsu:

If the Blues can get Trent Sporn for pick 17 then Richie Cole is worth an earlier pick. I would accept a pick in the 15-20 range on this deal there can be "No retreat, no Surrender!" Jean Claude Van Damme, Bloodsport.

From Mark Bolton AND Ted Richards to Ty Zantuck AND Willy ********! It is reported that Ty is happy to return to Tigerland but ******** has been hard to contact. Sheeds told him that whenever he got homesick he should take a walk around the Treasurey gardens, so he did and he hasn't been seen...

.... Of two Nando's vouchers and a packet of chicken twisties. Now I rate Nando's, but not for a former first round pick. Expect this saga to be played out right to the deadline on Friday. Essendon THINK they have leverage and will try to bend us over. I would just put up the shutters as far as...

I think it's now safe to say Dempsey with go anywhere from mid first round to early second, Footydraft has him at 40 which is way too high.
