    EOI Supercoach Draft League

    Was wondering if there was any interest in forming a draft supercoach league. For those who haven't played before, the scoring remains the same, but instead of everyone winding up with the similar teams towards the end, every team is unique. There is a draft day (you can preset your preferred...

    Surprised I couldn't find a thread for this already, but I've been enjoying the second season of this comedy on Stan. Anyone else caught it?

    2014 Grand Final thread

    Thought having a dedicated GF thread might be a good thing. I know a few people have said they're not particularly looking forward to it, but they're two greats teams and you can easily see it being a gripping contest. Whack your predictions in here too... Winner & Margin: Sydney 17 points...

    Which game was it where <...>?

    I've been racking my brain trying to think of which game this was (which I was at) but I also thought this might be a good thread for reviving some history. So... Which game was it where Voss appeared to hurt his knee, went down the race, only to reappear later to rapturous applause? Was...

    Having trouble seeing some threads

    Been having this problem for a while. Still having trouble with some threads not appearing on their pages. This is on the Lions board (as it's basically the only place on BigFooty I go anymore). I usually learn of their existence via another thread mentioning them. (Blissfully) I couldn't see...

    Lions players origin - Google Map

    Link to bright shiny new map Was just mucking around a bit today and came up with this. Mods, I think this is probably the best place for it. Feel free to move if you think it belong elsewhere, or is just plain s**t. Link to Old Google Map - not maintained

    Would you be happy if we took Waylen Manson at....

    There's been an unmistakeble buzz about him for the past months or so. And while the names Chalwell and Sibasado ring still in the ears, I think it's safe to say that there's some substance to this wunderkind. I've been beginning to wonder if we'd look at him - we lack a bit of flair and...

    Toast Barry Lowe

    A little snippet in the CM today about staff leaving mentions team manager Barry Lowe as hanging up the boots. Very sad IMO. Barry has been around the club longer than anyone - has been involved at least since the early 90s - and you'd never meet a more selfless individual in footy. He was...

    Nicely played...

    Full credit to your boys, they played exciting footy tonight. Our guys look like they had a heavy dinner of something. Embarrassing.

    Google Earth view of the Gabba

    Probably been posted before, but the latest imagery Google Earth uses over the Gabba has the boys during a training session. Looks impressive when you turn on the 3D Building Layer. http://www.gearthhacks.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&act=down&id=6389 If you squint you might be able to...

    Great Video Clips

    It's a bit of an art-form and a lot of good directors have come out of the genre. I just watched a fantastic new video from one of my favourite bands currently and though we should complile a list of great clips. The main rule would be not to post a video just because you purely like the...

    Say No to Fev here.

    I realise it's just BS newspaper scuttlebutt, but the mere thought of that fart of a human donning the maroon, blue and gold next year does me head in. So if you're like me and have this nauseous sensation even contemplating the idea, post "no" here and make sure the club doesn't even...

    "<insert player name>, he's all right!!!!"

    Anyone here partake in this little ritual at the Gabba? I caught it for the first time after sitting with a friend in section 18 for a bit during the Port game. For the uninitiated, there a few guys in around section 20-21 (not sure which) that sit on the fence who conduct the crowd behind...

    Vale Rob Dickson

    Rob only played one season for the Bears, but was a member of the Rodney Eade-coached 1991 Reserves permiership team. He's probably most remembered for his football documentaries and winning Australian Survivor.

    TC Hamish

    Forecast to reach Category 5 sometime tomorrow morning just off the Whitsundays. He's a monster and looks to be winding his way down the coast. Can only hope he crosses somewhere realtively unpopulated. Grim and the rest of our far northern counterparts, stay safe.

    January: categorically the worst month on the footy calendar.

    Pre-season training reports/pics help, but I'm really struggling this year. What do you do to alleviate it?

    Dilemna of a Melb Cup sweep organiser

    I organise a reasonably large (in terms of no. of participants rather than amounts). Prizes are usually 1st, 2nd, 3rd, with money back for last place and scratchings. My question is does anyone know the ettiquette with Failed To Finish's. It's technically not last place. There's a little...

    Nominations for a new mod for the Brisbane Boards

    Yes, I've decided to hang up the modding boots and drift into the background once again. I've enjoyed doing it for the past year-and-a-bit, but I no longer have the time to devote to the site. And for those who may be thinking it, no the past month has had nothing to do with it :D - it's been in...

    Reminder about the Private Board

    For those new to the board (well for this year anyway) this is just a reminder about our private board which is where we prefer to keep any "special" info. Cut and pasted from another thread:

    Clash Guernsey Design Comp - VOTE HERE!!

    OK, took a while, but we got there in the end. So, here's your chance to vote for your favourite clash guernsey design as submitted by the clever dicks/dickettes of BigFooty. As started earlier. the club are taking a keen interest in how this pans out, so the voting process is important too...

    Rules to live by...

    With our younger audience in mind, I thought perhaps we could compile a list that will benefit others in their daily life. This was in part inspired by a young fellow I saw on the train today. Just because you can grow facial hair doesn't mean you should.

    Design a Clash Guernsey Competition

    There's been a lot of debate about our current clash strip. Well, it appears the AFL still want a light-coloured guernsey to provide contrast. So, time to put your money where your mouth is and design one for yourself. Here's the deal: It must be predominantly light in colour, gold or...

    THE STAT GAME - Victoria vs Dream Team

    OK kids, it's a double-banger this week. Two stats to guess: Total points scored (i.e. both teams score added together); and Total possessions(both teams's possession count). Prize this week for both is a nutbag. Yep, you heard right... a nutbag. LIONS POSTERS ONLY please and the usual...

    For your consideration...

    This was posted by myself on the Troy Selwood Roster Watch thread, but applies across the board. There's been a bit too much barrow pushing around here too for my liking. There's no need to make the same point over and over and over again. Thanks.

    THE STAT GAME - Round 7 vs Geelong @ Kardinia Park

    This week's stat is the possession differential, i.e. the difference between Geelong possession count and our. So, if they have 380 and we have 310 that would be a difference of 70. If they have 350 and we have 360 (yeah right!) it'd be -10. Prize this week is luthor's treasured mower poo...

    Lidge - one minute's silence

    If you haven't seen it, there's a notice as you enter BigFooty: Out of respect to Lidge and the North supporters on this board, it would be much appreciated if everyone here could pay their respects by not posting at 7.30 tonight, and just to take a moment to reflect on the fact that the...
