So Melbourne have lead the way once again with integrity by being the first team to SAY NO TO DIRTY POKIE PROFITS. When will the other teams grow a social conscience and catch up with this admirable innovation? It's a very proud day to be a Melbourne supporter. Post your admiration below.

Please forgive my little indulgence with "RooBet" - remember that? That was Norf's online betting agency that they got into big trouble for aggressively marketing to problem gamblers. This was about the same time that their pokie venue was actually losing money, the mind boggles, so they decided...

Rather than doing the tasteful thing and developing their own talent - actually, they had a go at it and failed abysmally - cashed-up bogans, Norf, are shamelessly preparing to throw buckets of cash at everybody's star players in the hopes that eventually someone will take it... like they did...

In posting a very amusing reply to a thread recently, I had cause to do a Google image search for "Wooden Spoon". As you scroll down the page... an omen? Whether this is mere happenstance or whether it was spirited there by foretelling aliens, I don't know. You be the judge.

1. Baby Spice (Emma) - Sweetly pretty. Everything a proper little girlie should be. 2. Scary Spice (Mel B) - I do like a bit o' rough. She often had a couple of raisins stashed in her brassiere, which I found very appealing. 3. Posh Spice (Victoria) - "Posh"? I don't think the girl from Essex...

Sitting on the train bored and just thinking about who our most talented players are. Not necessarily our "best" at this stage, but talented, potential best in a couple of years, etc. I found my top 5 interesting: 1. Petracca 2. Oliver 3. Lever 4. Hogan =5 Hunt, Brayshaw Maybe I'm not giving...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-09-01/archer-convicted-of-assault-cops-fine NORTH Melbourne board member and club great Glenn Archer has been convicted of assaulting a runner at his son's junior football match in Melbourne and ordered to pay compensation to replace the victim's broken glasses...

His new appearance irritated him as he shuffled to keep the cold at bay beneath the brick and concrete facade. His hair itched his scalp where it had been dyed black and harshly slicked back with ‘wet look’ product. His face also itched due to the close-cropped micro-beard he now sported, also...

A true wonder of the modern world, someone has created a cap large enough to contain BJ's scone. As stated on the AFL website (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-05-31/milestone-man-goddard-plans-for-another-season), BJ ensured that the cap was embroidered with his career milestones: :huh:

Good day to you Bay, There are very few of you who will remember me, any many less who will care, but I used to be kind of a big deal around here. The truth is that The Bay was merely a stepping stone for me to a much better class of board, such as aussiefootyforums.com. I do, however...

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Good day, gentle reader, and welcome to a tale I have lovingly called Game of Domes. Any resemblance to similarly named tomes is purely accidental, I can assure you. Either that or my proof readers on the sub-continent have been leaking again. I was very cross that a previous...

EXCLUSIVE The only other time in living memory that a team has started a season so well and then taken a head-first plunge down the ladder to eventually miss the finals, was Essendon in 2012. We all thought it unnatural at the time, especially the part where they actually seemed good for the...

Hogan, Brayshaw and Stretch have all struggled to make the same impact this season as they did in their first seasons last year. Hogan is working up the ground more in an effort to get himself involved, Brayshaw is just not involved, maybe playing out of position, and Stretch is even struggling...

You know, as I watched the bright shiny young things destabilising nearby residential foundations around Gosch's Paddock during the long, hot summer and fapped over postings on the Melbourne board about our exciting youf, Jack Watts's impending breakout year, Jesse Hogan's invincibility, and how...

After much prodding to get somebody else to do it, the solemn duty of organising the BF Dees board Supercoach leagues has fallen to me this year. Some of you have already registered your interest in the general Supercoach thread: Poster / Team Name / 2015 Total Score CM Sean Weekend at Bernies...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-11-26/former-pie-nick-maxwell-joins-giants-to-help-leadership-group Very amusing. I love the troll photo that AFL.com used for the story too - screams leadership. Would have been far easier to have found one of him pointing at a patch of grass to sell the tale...

FOR the second successive year the Melbourne Football Club has reported an operating profit of $562k for the financial year ended 31 October 2015. I expect this means all our poor cousins will be looking for handouts again - So very tiresome.

Going to be a short thread, but anyway... #winningyouth

It has come to my attention that The Dees have been a trifle unlucky in recent times. Our recruitment prior to 2013 was particularly unfortunate, as was our selection of coaches, administration, and so on. Just misfortune after misfortune compounded by plain bad luck. This has rendered us not...

With news that Jesse Hogan has been withdrawn from the Melbourne to take on Geelong at Skilled on Sunday (**** my life, and the chances of my Supercoach team this week), hopes turn to the true spiritual leader of the Melbourne Football Club, Magnificent Max Gawn, aka Gawnius Maximus, aka...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-06-14/veteran-roo-brent-harvey-eyeing-21st-season Rather than allowing Norf to get some much needed games into some kids, I'm sure there must be some somewhere, this selfish old prick wants to hog them all for himself. And get a load of this bullshit - who does...

Just curious, good people of Big Footy. When the day comes that AFL decide to put them down like a puppy born without legs, where will all the Norfies transfer their support? Will they abandon the game altogether? I reckon they'll all jump on the bandwagon of the day or a traditional powerhouse...

Monday’s Queen’s Birthday clash with Collingwood looms as a danger game for a Melbourne side that has yet to get out of second gear in season 2014. “We’ve just been tinkering with a few things, getting some games into some young blokes and trying to find the right team balance so far.” Coach...

So my efforts to cut grass have been rained out and I come inside to check the footy scores, to find that Shoenmakers is dominating up forward! How about that - Scorrenmakers?

I know, right?! Though my team has been truly terrible for what seems like forever, allow me draw your attention to Friday 8 September 2006: Melbourne 13.12.90 d St Kilda 10.12.72. Compare this with Essendank's last finals win way, way back on Saturday 4 September 2004. :oops: No wonder that...

HOLLYWOOD – Director Ron Howard and several cast members, Meryl Streep (Brad Scott), Daniel Day-Lewis (Drew Petrie), Ken Jeong (James Brayshaw), Ronnie Corbett (Brent Harvey), Rebel Wislon (Shayne Harvey) and Amy Adams (Shaun Atley) today held a press conference to announce the imminent release...

What is consensus on here of Choco Royal as a midfield coach? Not trying to pot anyone from the cheap seats, but it seems to me that we’ve turned over most our FD except for him, and my feeling was that our midfield performance was a standout area where we were particularly poor this year. I...

Collingwood, already hailed as the worst choking team in Grand Final history having lost 26 of them including a stellar 9 in a row between 1960 and 1981, have decided that there isn't enough CHOKE in the current lineup which probably accounts for the anomaly that as 2010. In an obvious attempt...
