Great stories to hear.... I've loved reading this thread! Fantastic stuff from everyone. I was a big user of Big Footy back in the day, but have spent less time in here over the last decade or so. Great to see familiar names around here still (like Mr Ripper who has posted some phemonemally...

Its a bit scary when your heroes from when you were a kid start to go. You realise you're getting older quicker than you'd like to. Bundy was a ripping player. Gave heart and soul. He played as a gangly full forward in 1981 while Fitzroy's first ruckman in Ron Alexander was still at the club...

Full marks to Fages as always. The man just gets us and our unique footy club.

Ah jeez. Bundy was an absolute gun. That game at the Junction versus North in 1983. He literally shredded a Brownlow Medallist while kicking 8 goals. Just way to bloody young. Thanks Matthew for your service and stellar career for the Roys.

I can now answer my own question on the LEfty Putter from GCO for $35. Dynacast Lynx. Not much chop....

I'm a big fan of picking up a different club, if you feel like you've lost "touch" on what you have in the bag. So lose rhythm on your irons, hit a few irons of a different brand and weight, to help you find your feel back for your existing ones. Putting badly, so wanted to do the same with a...

I've found much of the talk in relation to the game on the weekend and the Lions position ongoing, to be utter utter utter nonsense. It reeks of non-Lions fans not actually paying any attention to us or watching us for the entire season other than when we play them or during finals. It reeks of...

I hate just blaming the Umpires. Reality is, sides even, with the result clearly steered towards one side likely to win more than the other, purely because of umpiring. 28-19. 10-2 in the last quarter. In professional sport, one poor decision can make a difference, and sometimes you just have...

I love CJ’s passion and story behind the jumper on the video. The story of the Pastor, Sir Doug, is an important component of our clubs history. Look up his story if you can, and be proud that he played in maroon and blue.

And now from reading the Hun report, at least they didn’t lie. No mention from them as to the Spargo did he or didn’t he touch the ball issue. Purely about whether Doedee was in the vicinity. They are saying he wasn’t, there was insufficient intent, free kick Melbourne.

Some people are saying that based on the slo mo replay, Spargo touched it. Some are saying that even after seeing the slo mo there are doubts he touched it. (I am in that category if that helps). I haven’t heard anyone say that based on their first look at full tilt, he definitely touched it...

This. I agree. As a neutral with no interest. In fact if anything, a Crows win is better for my team. From where the Field Ump is positioned, I can’t see how he can see that Spargo deflects it, especially at full speed. I have my doubts that he did in slow mo, from a great camera angle, let...

Last nights game Lions Vs Tigers, on two occasions players were in the process of being tackled, yet kicked it forward by 40 meters to their teams advantage. On both occasions the tackle effected the players ability to kick the ball straight. Yet when the ball went out of bounds, it was...

Last night was sweet. And still is.

As a neutral. The Ump decided he wanted to get out of the ground alive, so he lost the pea out of his whistle twice in the last sixty seconds. The AFL hierarchy have utterly butchered the interpretation on the Holding the ball decision. I really don’t think it’s that hard to adjudicate. Yet we...

Had enough? Didn't enjoy 3 out of the last 4 premierships did you?

For those saying McCarthy was kept quiet. There were a couple of very hard knocks to the head early, followed by a third. One earned him a free, the second was after that free was already paid, and for the third Umpire Nicoll’s guide dog got in the way so he didn’t get paid where it was deserved.

It was played at a Chook Lotto Stadium in Hicksville, with a 2 goal diagonal wind stopping the snow from falling, in conditions not suited to any ball game, with Umpires who had a blinder, against a pretty decent running side, 3 weeks after players left home with an overnight bag and one pair of...

Bruce rode Adams like a cowboy. Put away the whistle....

Dwayne Russell. Commentates like he is barracking for anyone who is playing the Lions. Honestly.

Dwayne Russell. Commentates like he’s barracking for whoever is playing the Lions.

And a couple of easyshots missed by the cats too. So that effected the umpires ability to pay HTB correctly?

You just want consistency. Guthrie was spun in the tackle 540 degrees and physically handed it to Selwood for a goal. No HTB. Bailey gets tackled immediately after taking possession and gets taken to the ground. HTB paid. Arguable free kick, and a shot for goal. Blicavs takes on the tackler...

During the call on 7, Luke Darcy said that Mitch Robinson has a habit of drawing free kicks... Before tonite he has had 1 in four games.

Can someone please check as to if hell has frozen over... cos Mitch Robinson just got paid a free kick.

Fages also lost it at the deliberate in the opening minutes. Camera panned to him and he leaned into an almighty “that’s BS”. Even everyone’s favorite uncle swears. if someone could do a gif of that,I‘d like to be able to send it in emails at my work place...

Fair point. I personally thought he went for a bit of a run before he got tackled and didn’t dispose of it.

Regardless, if you take the ball, run 5 meters, get tackled, don’t dispose of it, it’s HTB .

“Sorry, I thought the tackler was Mitch Robinson, so I didn’t pay it.”

Umpire Rosebury finished off the game by missing the worst HTB for the night. Witts takes the ball out of a throw in, runs 5 meters, gets tackles and doesn’t dispose of it. It is holding the bloody ball as soon as he is tackled you utter utter utter moron. I just don’t get how an Ump at the...
