Couldn't find a dedicated thread in which to share, discuss and analyse footy stats related to our 2024 season so I figured I'd start one. The first resource I wanted to share was MatchSlice which is a novel way of depicting AFL matches (such as the one that we just played) based on different...

As a way to pass the time in the off-season between trade and draft I'm interested in the collective view of the BF crowd on what are the major determinants of success for a club in the modern AFL competition. I've listed ten possible factors in the poll (with brief, fairly self-explanatory...

This thread is a bit esoteric and won't be for everyone so apologies in advance (and there's plenty of threads discussing is player X worth pick Y or better than player Z). The thought I wanted to share out with the BF trade and draft community is the clear parallels (and therefore learnings)...

I'm sure I'm just one of many on this site who are involved in some capacity with junior footy - either as parent, coach, manager or helper. I'd love to have a single thread where folks could share their suggestions, experiences and know-how about coaching - and in particular that old chestnut...

Everyone keeps saying that the critical thing (assuming the licence and stadium are done) is to get the key roles in the new club filled by the right people. I'd be interested to hear what others think (i) are the key roles (some self-evident) and (ii) who the best people for those roles are...

I'm making a rare trip to Adelaide which coincides with our round five clash against Carlton on Thursday 13 April. Not sure what the rules are around transferability of member tickets but I'd love to get two tickets to that match if anyone happens to not be able to attend 🙏. PMs open for any...

I’d love to hear from those with more basketball knowledge than me as to what they think is Australia’s best lineup at any given point in time. Coming off a bronze at the Olympics presumably there are a world championships and then Paris 2024 on the horizon, so with the emergence of new Aussie...

Hi All - bit of an obscure request but I'd love to hear any suggestions, experiences, resources, tips or tricks that others may have when it comes to taking decent video footage of amateur/junior footy matches. Any topics welcome but in particular: Types of camera - video camera, DSLR camera...

Not surprisingly as we approach the silly season (draft day) there's lots of chatter about our previous drafting success (or otherwise). Thought I'd share some actual data to help inform the debate - hopefully posters find it useful (and apologies in advance for any readability issues - was a...

Hi BigFooty Draft Afficionados! There's obviously plenty of great threads by BF draft experts showing their rankings, preferences and assessments on many of the prospective players who are eligible for the 2022 National Draft which are an awesome resource for the rest of us to dive into and...

We talk a lot as supporters about the need - at this stage of our rebuild - to be developing a high quality midfield for the future (something we don't have now) which will allow us to contend for and win premierships in our next 'window'. Part of this development is necessarily making the...

Pardon the request but does anyone know where I could find an old-school footy tipping chart for this season that is printable and free to download? I've searched thoroughly and it's either online comps or behind subscription paywalls...for the life of me can't find something to print and put...

I think it's encouraging that at the end of 2020 and now the first two rounds of 2021 we're (finally!) seeing some positive signs of a rebuild under Nicks that - whilst still underway - is starting to deliver some improvement. However, sadly, I think this current rebuild will ultimately fail...

We all very painfully aware by now that we're crap (!) - in large part due to the fact that our scoring completely dried up over the past two seasons. We've all got arseholes opinions as to why this has happened but I thought it might be useful to analyse some stats to help us assess whether the...

Does anyone know where one can find historical records of the AFL ladder at the completion of the entire season (i.e. including finals) as opposed to just the end of the minor round? I've looked at AFL.com.au and AFLTables and done a quick Google search and can't find this piece of information...

A simple hypothetical for you...would the AFL accept the private ownership of an AFL club? And if so on what terms? For example if a wealthy mining magnate offered to buy the Gold Coast Suns for (say) $50 million would the AFL accept that? What would be the pros and cons for the game?

To Gold Coast plus picks - we get second rounder

Must be a bittersweet time for Scott Thompson. Absolute champion of the club and did the hard yards for us for a long time. He helped us a long way up the mountain but eventually time caught up with him...now we're a step away from the summit and he won't be there. Sport is a tough mistress...

Just heard on SEN - serious doubt to play in Qually Final vs. GWS...

Went down to Adelaide Oval Where Blighty stands in Bronze The Crows have jumped the shark Just like the bloody Fonz Are we ever gonna win the flag again? Are we ever gonna win the flag again? Brave Andy Otten Like a waxwork that can’t move Defenders pass him Cos' Gov’s fitness not yet proved...

Obviously they play a large and growing role in how the sport works for both coaches and fans and I understand they're owned (at least partly) by the AFL but I'd be interested to know how much is Champion Data worth? Anyone got any market intel? Revenue/earnings numbers, peer companies, other...

So the big man if off contract at the end of the season...he's a proven goal-kicker now and plays the key forward role that is traditionally valued highly in the trade market...and if the talk is correct he's being head-hunted by other clubs. So the big question is what would you pay JJ for...

The AFL show all players delisted (or traded, retired or moving under FA) here - have a crack at making the best team from only the players delisted. FF: Aaron Edwards -- Lewis Johnston -- Jared Petrenko HF: Leroy Jetta -- Jordan Lisle -- James Polkinghorne C: Taylor Hunt -- Mitch Robinson...

My master plan is almost complete! Dangerfield to wear the #130 jumper next year is the final step... http://mobile.news.com.au/sport/afl/adelaide-crows-look-to-adelaide-university-amateurs-to-fill-gap-in-sanfl/story-fndv862c-1227014550342

As the title says your best team made up entirely of players who look the most like spanners made up entirely of the players who were delisted this year. FF: Didak - Cornelius - McGuane HF: Addison - O'Hailpin - Nahas C: Wilkinson - Magner - Ledger HB: Tambling - McCarthy - McKeever FB: Laidler...

Oct. 15, 2061: "Carlton president Stephen Kernahan to remain in the post for one more year" CARLTON will this week confirm Stephen Kernahan is to stay as interim acting president for a further year. Kernahan was originally expected to resign this year, with Oscar Judd or Richard Pratt III Jr...

When you lose a game by a kick after giving up a two goal lead in time on it brings the inevitable question of whether this is a trend or just a one off. The graphic below (and apologies for poor image quality) is the scoring worm from every one of our games this year. Each worm has been...

The rapid turnaround this year at Port has among other things put the spotlight on how critical it is to get the right people in the right roles at a footy club. The Four C's - Chairman, CEO, Coach and Captain are the 'spine' of the club whose appointments will make or break its success...
