Trading for pick 1 is always an interesting topic.
We all know everyone would trade it for Kelly, Dusty, Cripps etc; all the usual suspects. However which player, who may be a little obscure, would you trade for pick 1? It might be Coniglio, it might be J McGovern, perhaps Clayton Oliver?
I...
I hope we win, we should win, but we are soooooooo much younger than even the Lions. Massive danger game.
This weekend, our average games played is 56.4, which is the second lowest tally for any team this season (behind us again last week) and we still hold the eight lowest game tallies across...
I’ve stayed away recently and I’ve also left the game early. For shame. I posted in the preview thread how the difference in age and games was between the 2 teams. So we should have been beaten.
But not like that. That was garbage. Don’t pick the most inexperienced team and then blame that...
Lewis Young. That is all. :twohearts:
Welcome back Bont and JJ.
Well played Jack Macrae.
Caleb amazing.
Toby great.
Lewis Young - I pity teams trying to mark it in the forward line with Lever, Young, Wood and Adams down there.
So having seen Liam Jones show talent but not for very long, I turned on to watch the game today expecting normal programming.
What I saw beggared belief. He has turned into a backman. And not just any backman, a legitimate intercept marking, leaping, spoiling and distributing backman.
For...
I'm going early because I can't stand watching this any more. Boyd is cooked, Cloke was awful, our midfield has been smashed for effort, energy and cleanliness. Adams was excellent until he went off, the backline for the most part was good but with the lack of pressure in the midfield *cough*...

We laud our players, coaches, administrators and support staff. But who in their career has tugged on the coat tails of others? Who has forged a career out of a moment, or a season?
I vote Scott Clayton. Had one draft at the Dogs where (admittedly) he picked up 4 good players however it could...
First of all I want to put on the record that I'm a big fan of him. I think he has great hands, is strong in the marking contest and is, for the most part, a very good shot on goal.
There has been a lot of talk and speculation in the media recently about his future. Discussions like these...
With the chaotic nature of Collingwood's trading and the "apparent" pressure Bucks has put on himself for next year, where do you expect them to finish next year? Will they make the finals? What happens if they miss again?
Whilst I lived in the U.K. in the early 00's, Sky had a commentator option for the EPL which was 2 opposing fans commentating the game as supporters. Think "Press Red For Ed" but as loose as hell. It was brilliant and I don't know why this couldn't be implemented in our code.
What would you do...
I've (now) got 2 tickets extra to Saturday so I'm selling my 2 extras. They're on the Wing on 202 - perfect seats. I paid $179 each and I'll sell them at cost unlike the leeches who prey on the weak. If anyone wants them, PM me.
What's more important?
If you could have an AA midfield (listed as 6 rotating mids) playing with VFL players, or an AA spine with the rest VFL players, who would win? I'm always a "midfield is more important" person but I don't know if I'm in the minority or the majority.
So for example, if...
2 young, developing sides. Popular theory is that St Kilda are still reliant on their older players. Melbourne is chock full of top end talent. Do they both make finals next year? One? None?
Let's all concede if we play like we did last night, we'll get knocked out in the Elimination Final, irrespective of who we play.
I believe Morris, Macrae, Stringer and Suckling will be available either this week or the first final.
Wood is as not as bad as everyone thinks and is likely to...
The Bombers have over achieved this year and at the moment we are just going. Although we will win, I'm not confident of a smashing. Anything over 30 points I'll be happy with but I fully expect a closer game than others. Boyd gets an enormous chance to show his wares as essentially the sole...
Although this game is relatively inconsequential in regards to us playing finals, the winner will have a great opportunity to finish 5th or 6th and secure a home final.
The rivalry between the 2 clubs, both on, and off BigFooty, has been widely criticised, but neither team like each other very...
So much focus is put on the number 1 draft picks, and it's rare they become the actual best player from their draft. Nick Riewoldt seems to be the only unanimous selection. But what about the number 2 picks? What about the guys selected as the second best player in their year?
1995: Matthew...
It's impossible to be confident of a victory, having not beaten Geelong at all since 2009 and not at Skilled since 2003. Had we only had the 2 changes, it would be much closer, but we can't expect to be competitive against them at home with the team selected. I'd love to say we'll be right in...
Enormous game. Gold Coast's scoring power is primarily limited to Lynch and Wright, 2 star tall forwards. Midfield pressure will be crucial to shutting them out of the game. There will be a lot of pressure on our defensive structures however we have managed to negate better forward lines than...
I, like I'm sure many, have just finished a quick ladder predictor. I've simply put victories to the expected favourites - so it doesn't take into account upsets, which will inevitably happen - and I didn't do a margin, which was probably a mistake given the closeness of the positions.
I came...
the Dunsborough Hotel and I are going to have a loving, or tumultuous, relationship at 2.35 local time today. We have to be apprehensive given what happened against Geelong. Assuming the inclusions play to somewhere near their best, however, I expect a good game and an excellent showing of...
