Great game
It pains me to say it (and goes against every fibre of my being) but I really like this Essendon team.
I think they're finally on the right track
I love the pressure they bring and (apart from the Port debacle) they don't give up.
They won 15 games (their last 6 in a row) to snatch 4th place on the ladder
They won late season thrillers vs Geelong, Essendon and Sydney (at the SCG), not only ending the Bomber's finals dreams, but also snuffing out Geelong and Sydney's hopes of finishing in the top 4.
They played two MCG...
All you people that are laying the boot into North right now need to realise they were dismantled today by a tremendous young team on the rise. There are few teams in the AFL who can go toe-to-toe with the Hawthorn juggernaut when they play like they did today.
Grey Plover

Description: The Grey Plover is a medium-sized, long-legged plover, with a large head and large dark eyes, and a heavy black bill. It is pale grey above with...
Not sure why people on here keep harping on about this. Sure, Hawthorn has some deluded, blindly-optimistic fans. No different to every other club. I guess people on Big Footy like to zero in on the batshit crazy posts from opposition nuffies. They take this small sample and brand the entire...
Sam Mitchell has literally had every AFL panel show on his case since the Saturday night debacle. All the pundits have questioned his methods... questioned the game plan... remarked that he looks rattled.... and said the Hawks have gone backwards this year... Many Hawks fans have also started to...
It’s pretty funny how Carlton fans have become the most obnoxious supporters posting here on Big Footy.
All because they finished 5th in 2023 and scraped through a couple of finals against 2 out-of-form teams before coughing up a 5 goal lead in Brisbane.
They’ve literally done nothing to crow...
Cats fan complains about having 3 fewer days to prepare than their opponent.
As though this isn’t a common occurrence for every team that isn’t Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon or Richmond.
Give us a spell
Steve Hocking and Brad Scott are no longer working for the AFL. Get used to it.
You asked me why I disagreed with your post and I actually gave you a decent reply. But instead of responding to the relevant parts you chose to have a big sook. In two separate posts.
Never mind, PhatBoy
Next time, I’ll write a novel about how great Tom Stewart, Jez and Tomahawk are. I’m sure...
Well, you're a Geelong fan. Of course you're not going to notice the infringments from Geelong players. Only the opposition's.
You can be sarcastic smart-arse, all you like. But my opinion is my opinion. It's not something I invented 2 weeks ago. Like I said already, it's something I've noticed...
No mate. Maybe it takes you hours to write 200 words, but I have no trouble knocking out a few paragraphs.
As for me "putting a lot of thought into it", I wouldn't go that far. It's really more of an long-term observation from watching Geelong 100-150 times over the last past 12 years and...
The Pies were a rabble in Buckley's last season as coach. They clearly went off the rails as a club, from the top down. The racism business which flared up again just as the new season got underway. Eddie McGuire finally resigning. Buckley resigning just before the mid-year bye.
The Pies had a...
Nope, just replying to PhatBoy because he wanted to know why I disagreed with him about Geelong's free kick counts.
I used the Easter Monday game to illustrate why the 20-21 tally was misleading in terms of the umpires' influence.
I also gave my opinion as to why the Cats always do pretty well...
He's a 19yo kid with 27 games under his belt. Perfect way for him to develop. What's the rush?
He'll put on some more muscle mass with a couple more pre-seasons and then be eased into a midfield role.
It's just laughable the way folks on Big Footy always put so much shite on the teenagers who...
1. You have a knack for making everything about Geelong. Doesn't matter how tenuous the link is, you'll find a way to change the topic towards the Cats. You never miss an opportunity. I've noted this before and it drew your ire. Whatever. It's just funny to me.
2a. Geelong lost the free kick...
I'm confused.
You say that Sheezel has X factor and talent.
You say the best players can change the course of games and you think that Sheezel can be at that level.
How the hell can he be overrated if you think these things?
Bearing in mind, we are talking about a 19 year old kid with 27...
I think people wildly overrate the most successful coaches, calling them "geniuses", "wizards" and "master coaches". I also think people are hugely unfair towards coaches of struggling teams, including the ones who get sacked. I'm not saying there is no difference between the best and worst...
False.
The 2018 H&A season was one of Clarkson's finest coaching achievements. I thought it was incredible the way he coaxed a 15 win season from an average list and snatched 4th place on the ladder. Nobody in the media thought we'd even get near the top 8. Many on here tipped us to finish in...
