When I was a teen and even into my early twenties, I was only "into" music that came from that era (and in most cases was also popular and high in the charts). But as I aged I gradually lost more and more touch with whatever were the latest chartoppers as I increasingly followed particular...

I noticed in the Age article about the Tasmanian application for a provisional AFL license - https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/tasmania-set-to-apply-for-a-provisional-afl-licence-20190823-p52k4n.html "... There is strong support for the establishment of a new stadium and training facility at...

Following on from the NSW, Qld and Tasmanian AFL player threads, here's the one for the Northern Territory for those interested. Interestingly, this is a very large reduction from the 28 I listed 10 years ago back, which indicates that Matt Rendell was only telling the truth some years back for...

Following on from the NSW and Qld AFL player threads, here's the one for Tasmania for those interested. This is increase from the 24 I listed in 2008, so maybe things haven't been quite so disastrous for Tassie as some have indicated. See what sort of team you can make up with this (though it...

Following on from the NSW AFL player thread, here's the one for Queensland for those interested. Interestingly, this is actually a reduction from the 50 I listed some 10 years ago back when the Western Bulldogs strangely had 12 Queenslanders! The list is under SoO rules (thus place of birth is...

For those interested, I did a thread like his for a few years some 10 years back, listing players in expansion states, under SoO rules (thus place of birth is completely irrelevant but rather their place of residence and/or junior club when aged from 11-17). I have also included the...

I'm guessing many here saw this article or reports thereof - http://www.news.com.au/sport/football/a-league/team-11-aleague-expansion-bid-reveals-plans-for-15000seat-stadium-in-dandenong/news-story/16aa14e9df4eba28a68d3e954ad2d20a This proposal is asking for the Gov't and council to spend...

TO my surprise, AFAIK, a significant event passed unmentioned here - the unveiling of The 'Big Footy' at Ungarie. Given that great historic medieval pilgrimages have been revived in Europe, it's only right that our BigFooty family now has its own pilgrimage site to go to and pay homage - and...

Complete list of 20 Northern Territorians on AFL lists (using SoO rules - i.e. not where players were born, but where they lived from aged 10-17). Although there seems a lot from Darwin, some of these come from the bush e.g. the Tiwi Islands or Bathurst Island (prime recruiting grounds for St...

Complete list of 33 Tasmanian AFL listed footballers AFL (using SoO rules - i.e. not where players were born, but where they lived from aged 12-17). The Tasmanian numbers continue to increase, from 30 last year, 24 in 2010 and 22 in 2009. Things can't be all bad in Tasmania, as the numbers...

Complete list of Queenslander AFL listed players (using SoO rules - i.e. not where players were born, but where they lived from aged 12-17). The list can be used to pick SoO teams (perhaps to take on NSW). Queensland numbers have, surprsingly, given the introduction of the Suns, decreased from...

Last week they won the free kick count by a massive 50% (24 - 16) but this still wasn't enough. So I've thoughtfully provided this thread for the weekly Essndon barracker's whinge/sook fest against the umpires not giving them every single decision there way when their baying crowd cries out for...

I came on the Suns board to see what was happening on this historic day for both the club and the AFL - and I was expecting a thread reflecting the excitement of the day and occasion. So what have I found? Nothing. Zilch, zero. Not one post on this board so far on this historic day. The last...

Israel Falou has revealed the biggest problem for any NRL rugby players converting to AFL. It's not picking up the skills and game plan. No, the biggest problem is learning how to eat healthy, have a proper diet and actually be properly fit to compete at elite level at AFL - something they're...

I've been wanting to do this comparative analysis between the Legions of ancient Rome and the modern Collingwood game plan for ages - and Malthouse's comments after the GF about him drawing inspiration from his reading of the tactics of the Roman legions and Rommel -...

This post is specifically aimed at GC locals or recent visitors up there (schoolies NOT included though!). I know the Suns have gained a lot of publicity here in Melbourne over the last few months, what with the official launch of the team name, colours etc, speculation over Gazza, then Gaz...

Why barrack for Collingwood? Come across this on the main board and was so impressed, I thought it should be given a run here (I'm confident the author won't mind). Unlike Salem, I was raised on Aussie Rules, but not in a Collingwood family, so I fully relate to the reasons Salem gave for...

I normally do a thread around this time of year on the total number of Queensland raised players (using SoO rules - i.e. not where players were born, but where they lived from aged 12-17). But this year I need your help. I was absent overseas and didn't get my main source - The Age Footy Guide...
