Underrated IMO. Did his job and the AfL Essendon would have got away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids from ASADA: During the Essendon probe, it was revealed Alavi received raw materials in 2012 to compound a form of hexarelin – a banned peptide that stimulates the production of...

This is a thread created for our resident right wing posters, you know, the ones who insist they're Centralists. In a similarly titled thread some of you whinged bitterly (as you do, all the time) that you weren't permitted to derail it by debating a different topic. You passionately wanted to...

Fascinating question. Last time both clubs missed the finals in the same season was 2006. Their membership numbers back then were about 30,000 each. In todays numbers this would make both of them a little bigger than the Gold Coast Suns and smaller than the GWS Giants. Since then both clubs have...

Being soundly beaten by the lols in the race for Clarko, the opportunity opens up for James Hird to return to Tulla. But will Essendon be able to fit him under the soft cap? Being the future greatest coach ever, he's going to come at a premium. He could easily demand at least 4 or 5 mil a season...

Obviously there's overwhelming research linking stupid people with socially conservative and right wing beliefs. I'm not going to argue this very well established fact here. My question is why? For example: Do stupid people find simplistic views of the world more reassuring? My feeling is that...

Eagles won the moral victory :thumbsu:

Now that all of Steve's rule changes appear to have achieved the AFL's goal of "bringing Richmond back to the field", he's quickly abandoned the job before being proven a failure yet again. But will he be able to help Geelong win their first drug free flag in almost 60 years? I think not. You?

Essendon's drafting and trading to again be elite this year. Is there no stopping Adrian Dodoro? The guy's pure genius. https://www.afl.com.au/news/508372/dons-need-joe-s-decision-reasonably-quickly-big-bomber-cut

In 3 out of the last 4 seasons Richmond has missed out on a top 2 spot to finish 3rd. In the one year they made top 2, they lost to the 3rd finishing team in a prelim. What a joke of a club. Let's all point and laugh at them. Let's speculate about how finishing 3rd yet again this year will work...

When you compare home game advantage, Port, for example, get to play all 11 home games at their home ground, and an 'away' game in China. So that's 12 home games with 11 very clear home ground advantages. MCG tenants like Richmond and Collingwood only get 10 home games on their home ground, all...

After a hard day banging down the door of every thread on big footy, proselytising and spreading the good word, consonantly being frustrated by ignorant folk who refuse to make the leap in faith that Twavel!!!, no matter how often and loudly it is repeated, results in inequality and Vic-bias...

I don't think so. Good luck guys :thumbsu:

I notice airlines are offering credits rather than refunds. QANTAS is offering a credit that must be used by th end of 2021. Jetstar is offering a credit where flights need to be booked within 6 months for flights within 12 months of original flights. I have a flight with Jetstar, I recently had...

With pubs and clubs and other venues closing, clubs like Hawthorn and Carlton will be hit extra hard. Should they get additional compensation from the AFL because of the loss of their major income stream?

The Blews are spending more on footballers than your club https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/carlton-paying-105-per-cent-of-salary-cap-20200303-p546km.html And I thought SOS was taking the piss before they sacked him. Who's the new guy?

After their absolutely magnificent premiership at Wangaratta in 2017, can the pies make it 2 in 3 years? With at over 1/2 a dozen senior players not playing for the Tigers because of charity match obligations and injury, I think Collingwood is in for a real chance tomorrow. This could well turn...

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/one-sixth-of-quite-a-bit-alex-rance-leaves-1-4-million-on-the-table-20200205-p53y3y.html With 1.4 million room in the cap Richmond can afford 2 free agents. They'd have to be really good players though, probably the best at their current club, and they'd need...

I'm not sure. But I reckon they've overtaken West Coast and are mounting serious challenges to Geelong, Carlton and Essendon. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/shot-in-the-groin-hawks-in-court-over-armed-pokies-stick-up-20200130-p53w3t.html

Now that Big Footy has turned 20, it might be an appropriate time to dig up some classic old threads on the Richmond Forum. Theres been some great ones in the past, some very funny ones as well. My favourite of all time, must have been around the mid 00s, was where you made a post then trolled...

Nervously waiting for the grand final today and trying to distract myself, my thoughts turned to trade week. Richmond being the clear winner last year securing free agent Tom Lynch, who ignored much bigger offers from Hawthorn and little Collingwood, and who may help earn Richmond it's second...

When did you abandon your club this year? Know as the Handbaggers for being the most pea hearted and spineless club in Australian sporting history, many of the clubs 'supporters' have not let them down. Before the finals, Geelong's president, coach and captain publicly announced that no way...

When purchasing tickets to the preliminary final, can Richmond supporters please show consideration to their fellow members and fill Geelong's allocation first.

So did Geelong.

Mini-Tigerland? Richmond frustrated at Dons' coach poaching https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/mini-tigerland-richmond-frustrated-at-dons-coach-poaching-20190809-p52fhp.html I understand that Richmond had the most dominant finals series this century in 2017, and were raging favourites in 2018...

Mark Fine was vocal at the time of Scott Watters sacking as evidenced by this thread https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/st-kilda-needs-to-sack-scott-watters-immediately-mark-fine-sen.1032513/ locked years ago. In his most recent Fooytyology podcast (round 20 preview)...

Known as the Handbaggers for being the softest club in Australian sport. Infamously protected, and having successfully lobbied for the introduction of 'behavioural awareness officers' to cut down on scary crowd noise, Geelong is now pushing to remove tackling from the game...

Disgraceful display of disrespect of our noble umpires. Should be permabant from big footy. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/bald-headed-flog-footy-supporter-evicted-for-umpire-abuse-20190608-p51vud.html

Not even in the top 8. Rule changes specifically designed to bring Richmond back to the pack. Injuries to 3 All Australians and a plethora of others. Next club, little Collingwood, last year grand finalist and a favourite for this year, is 20k behind. It's good to be king. No wonder you all...
