I’m feeling more inspired then ever before so thought I would run a competition. BIG TIME prize money. I’ve decided it’s okay if I run it and also get to compete, so I will probably win all the prizes, but please don’t let this deter you. So, what you have to do is post your ideas for what...

ACL? There was all sorts of non-expert quasi-medical crap from the commentary team, but the look on his face said ACL to me. I’m feeling really low about this. So sorry for him, and I feel as though I owe him a bit.

I would like to extend congratulations from everyone to FootyGuy13 for his outstanding contribution to the Melbourne Board. FG13 has been overseeing our Nick "426" Smith Memorial Trophy for the past few years and has brought some fantastic graphics and quirky stats to this annual event. A...

Few, if any, students of the game called Australian Football (sometimes referred to as “Australian Rules Football”, or “Aussie Rules”) are not familiar with the legend of the Red Fox, Norm Smith, and the manner of his departure as coach of the Melbourne Football Club in 1965. The dramatic events...

Checking in

Hello there board. PG here. Thanks for taking the time to read my thread :) It’s been a difficult year for me as a nuffy. For whatever reason, my stress watching the game of Australian Football has gotten the better of me. On many occasions the trauma of watching has essentially outweighed the...

I mean, seriously, why?

Is anyone up for a cooking / food preparation contest? Much like the song contest only with food. Okay so this could be posted in the lifestyle thread, but I figure the song contest lives here so why not this? Anyway, I’m happy to organise. Rules are contestants have a week to create a...

Hi board. I hope you are enjoying your long weekend, and thanks for checking out this thread. Today I discovered a number of things that made my blood run cold. On some random page on the forum that I found by accident this morning, there are lists of so-called “prominent posters” of...

There might already be a thread for this. I had a quick look but I’m not great at that kind of thing. Occurs to me that given there are so many surprises on Bigfooty - for a forum that is essentially for people who love Australian Football - there might even be people like me who find music to...

Tonight’s the night! Our very own nuffy doco that everyone else in the universe will hate unreservedly. I’m super excited already. I thought it deserved its very own thread for discussion of every possible nuance...

So this thing is happening. I should really go but I won’t so I’ll stop thinking about it. This is also being broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. Our squad named is here Dees squad revealed for final pre-season clash We’re pretty light-on for defenders owing to the fact that everybody is...

A source within the Mt Buller Demons claims that the decision to re-introduce the much loved “Flathead of the Week” award has been endorsed by the Buller leadership group (consisting of something like half the playing list). The flathead award for the best non-Demon poster in each weekly match...

Hi there. We got past however many pages before Bigfooty like the thread rolled over to a new thread. Well done all for your commitment to randomness. Post away for random 2022 thoughts…

I just noticed that it is now 2022 so time for another thread. Put all your thoughts about the AFL generally, other teams etc. here. I can’t think of anything at the moment, other than perhaps the news that Jordan De Goey is likely to be convicted, albeit of the lesser variety of assault in US...

Welcome to the 2022 reigning premiers training thread. So far we know squat really except there are some houses in Cranbourne getting a bit of a shake-up to their no-doubt expertly built foundations. According to the website, training is closed to the public at the moment, but this seems no...

This is clearly not an appropriate thread for our general board but I’m going to do it anyway. I’ve had some champagne. My partner has gone off to watch the news - mostly New year 2021 retrospective stuff about the year that has passed. There’s only one part of 2021 that I choose to remember...

Post your Christmas messages here! I hope you all have the best ever Christmas on the greatest year since 1964. Eat, drink and watch those Grand Final DVD’s until you get thrown out of your homes. I’ve really enjoyed sharing the journey with all of you. It’s a fantastic board and has been...

This time you get more than one. I can tell you’re excited already. The best and most insightful post might get a prize! (Probably won’t, but it can be a strange world). Anyway, if you feel like rambling a bit, you can include reasons. I‘ll go first. Favourite current opposition player...

Off-season strange content warning… The thread for listing your favourite Melbourne players who you have always liked but for slightly odd reasons. So here goes: Dean Kent - appeared first in games that I don’t want to recall, but he showed a bit of grunt, pressure, and some speed. Good kick...

My stupid s**t that I have done or am doing in no real order: - going literally everywhere in full demons gear so I can feel really nice if someone yells Go Dees at me (low key) - spending stupid amounts of money on random merch that I can’t really afford but currently don’t care (lowish key in...

Hello board Welcome back to LeverPuller who has offered to step up and help the moderating team. Most of you, other than our newer posters, know LP from old (when he was Striker with a hulk avatar). He has been a moderator of the Melbourne Board previously from late 2015 or so, and we are...

Sorry. I nearly forgot it is Friday and there is a match on tonight Its someone playing someone. I’ll look up the details shortly and update the post. Suffice to say that whoever it is, I reckon it would be nice if they both lose somehow

GAMEDAYYYYY! Try and imagine a really nice graphic here that shows the team selections. Imagine no longer!! Also, happy 100th to Nealy!

So far we have had: “That’s why they call him Slick Fritch” (originally terrible - but improved as a kind of cult starter) “Buzzing around like a mozzie, Kosi (dreadful) “Enjoyed it to the Max” (not bad - would be better if it hadn’t sounded pre-prepared) There was another zinger today about...
