    Opinion When did you feel we hit rock bottom?

    We haven’t achieved anything yet but who would have thought we’d even be in this position from where we were 5, 10, 15 years ago? There have been some dark, dark years and win or lose this weekend, you have to enjoy weeks like these. Who knows when it they will come round again?? There have...

    SuperCoach league 2023

    Any interest in one here this year? I haven't had a team for about 15 years but need something to help during study / work procrastination breaks so was thinking on having another go. Always better if you can play against those you can sledge.

    2006 U 18s Queensland team - Where are they now?

    Touted as the best junior squad Queensland has ever produced, the team went through the Div 2 champs undefeated and had a whopping 11 players selected in the AFL ND (including 8 of the first 32). And all of this in what was regarded as one of the strongest drafts in history. They eventually...

    Farewell!!

    Although I haven't had much time to post here lately I've still dropped by from time to time to read up on what's happening with the Board and you Lions' tragics. I'm off to the UK for a few years tomorrow. I'll still purchase my membership and be at the games in spirit and I'll try and...

    Security for a MacBook Pro?

    I've recently bought a 13" MBP and was wondering what security I should look at getting. I'm aware that being a Mac it doesn't get the usual PC viruses but do you need to buy any additional security systems/programs? Any advice appreciated. Cheers.

    Queensland Holiday

    I'm looking at having a week's holiday towards the end of November somewhere in North Qld and were wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to good hotels / resorts etc. At this stage I am thinking possibly Airlie Beach but pretty much happy to go anywhere on the coast.

    The umps getting booed off the field

    Laughable. Got what they deserved but laughable to think it was coming from the Eagles' supporters. What game were they watching? The maggots in green helped keep them in the game all night and they were filthy with a correct decision that finally went our way??? :rolleyes: Thanks for...

    The rise and rise of Jared Brennan. Next stop: EliteTown

    There is almost no other player in our entire squad I would prefer with ball in hand. This guy is an absolute gun and fast approaching sub-elite status in the league. What he does in traffic is amazing - no one should be able to do what he does. His disposal has improved out of sight as the...

    EOI: A Brisbane Lions BigFooty Board Punter's Club

    I was wondering if there was any interest out there in starting a punter's club on this board this season? I was thinking we could start a Sportsbet account or the like where everyone contributes an amount at the start of the year (say $10), which allows you to have 2 $5 bets throughout the AFL...

    Movie Daybreakers

    Couldn't find a thread on this one. I for one really enjoyed this. Didn't know whether that was because I walked in with low expectations but it was quite well done. Didn't go overboard with the effects and actually had something of a story attached. 3.5/5

    Don't look back in anger - it just got even stronger

    Stuff the two big men up forward. And forget about Rich and Redden. How excited are you about our defence this year!! One monster tall with speed who will always get his big rusty fist on the footy and trouble the number one forward all day = Merrett. A tall mobile player who can use the...

    Off-season musings: Does the bitterness of certain Blues fans make the trade taste that much sweeter

    Good to see the quality of BigFooty remains high after a long suspension-induced hiatus. Didn't realise we traded the greatest CHF to have played (who's career goal tally is equivalent to Simon Prestigiacomo's haul), and arguably the best pick 12 in the history of the draft since Lewis...

    Another "what laptop should I buy?" thread (sorry)

    I'm looking at getting a new laptop and need a bit of advice on the best ones out there. Basically I will be using it primarily to surf the web and use Microsoft applications, and possibly download movies/tv shows etc. I don't play computer games or anything like that. I'm looking at something...

    Old team lists

    Does anyone know where I can get the full team lists (including rookies) from 2005-2008 online? I've had a look around here but I can't find any records.

    Voss and Allan have 3 years - fair or unfair?

    IMO these two men have 3 years to win a flag or they will have to go. You do not trade your youth away like that without getting immediate results. With the introduction of the new teams, quality young talls are like gold. WTF did we just move ours on? A grand final(s) will not be enough...

    Proud of you boys

    Sure, not the greatest way to end the year but we should be proud of the way we played for the majority this season. I was sceptical of the Voss appointment at first but he has not shown himself to be overawed and has demonstrated to have a very tactical footy mind with the way he has...

    Absolute ****ing ticketing fiasco

    Just about to go off my ****ing head here. I've been trying for 2 days straight to get through to ticketek to get a ticket for Saturday and they have been engaged all day. I am unable to get to an office as i'm out of town and they are not selling tickets to members over the net. What an...

    How thick do you think the Gold Coast FC will be?

    Having a read around these forums a lot of folk on here seriously believe the GC will throw quality picks at any old trash purely because they are either: (1) a Queenslander, or once went to Qld on holiday, or (2) a "mature body". How stupid do you think they are? Now they already have 8...

    My position as pessimistic sod on this board entitles me to inform you all...

    We were in a better position at this stage last year. 8-5 heading into the game against a woeful Melbourne side. We all know weevil doomed our season that day and we collapsed in a heap during the second half of the year. Again. So let's leave our name off the cup for now. We are one win...

    The stupidity of some of today's threads - an interesting trip down memory lane

    Who did the best in the 2006 National Draft: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284612 General consensus Essendon cleaned up. Fremantle also apparently did very well (now have 33% of those players left on their list). Port Adelaide (who picked up Boak, Stewart, Krakouer, Gray...

    FTA-TV TV shows "jumping the shark"

    The debate in the New Simpsons thread got me thinking about moments when other popular shows "jumped the shark". There are not many long-running shows that haven't experienced this. For me, there are some obvious examples: Dad's Army - Walker's death: Still one of the greatest comedies...

    Now that Hudson's gone, it's time for a forwardline overhaul

    Our forwardline structure was horrendous this year - only playing 2 genuine forwards with no crumbing small meant the ball bounced out like a pinball. Not to mention our only avenue to goal was pumping it long and hoping Brown or Bradshaw would outmark 3 defenders. Hudson was one of the best...
