Nah, 9/10 this year at best, we actually did better than them. They naturally do well because of culture, falcons factory links and location factors, two of which are unique in the competition. But their fall is not far away, we are far better placed than them going forward in the medium term...

It stretches credibility that Cats get a 10/10 rating. They brought in fringe players for crying out loud lol. Sure, they also brought in pick 7, in a deal that shouldn’t have been approved by the AFL because IMO it damages the integrity of the competition, but even then, there’s no guarantee...

Still a bit hard to comprehend the enormity of being able to bring in two top midfielders entering their prime, it’s clearly the outstanding result of the whole trade period full stop. Not only does it turn our middle from a weakness into a strength, but it will reinvigorate the club and bring...

Wonder if it’s a coincidence Hopper comes to Tigerland only after Edwards retires, holds a grudge maybe haha. Will miss Shedda, did amazing things, but I agree Bolton will be something else. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Think it was more to do with the hip and shoulder Shedda put on Hopper in the GF, it was brutal for such a skinny fella, I keep thinking of that particular incident as well. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Congratulations to Cats supporters, it’s a well deserved victory and reward for your club maintaining such a high standard of performance over a long period of time. Enjoy! On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

I have plenty, but troll is just the descriptor. It’s you that has nothing but denial and the arrogance to think you can both define racism and speak on behalf of mob. [emoji1418] On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Oh, what a troll. I don’t need a lens, I have 20/20 vision, unlike you obviously. Australia is built on racism and continues to struggle with it, and what is happening in the AFL is a microcosm compared to the rest of society. Stop living in denial, and stop speaking on behalf of Indigenous mob...

So the club conducts a racism review, finds evidence of racism, but you say it isn’t racist because (maybe, maybe, just maybe) something similar may or may not have happened to a non-Indigenous player? Nothing to see here, folks! Sad ditch to die in. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yes, you did. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

That’s wrong. How do you learn from the past if you don’t raise it? The wrongdoings of the past continues to affect us today, how does ignoring them lead to fixing any of that? On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

I’m a Blakfulla, I know racism is alive and well in Australia, I’m not afraid to call it out, and I’m sick of people living in denial about it. Claiming it’s worse elsewhere doesn’t minimise it’s impacts here, and it shouldn’t be tolerated. Be better. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

‘Race card’. The typical refrain of the denialists. So easy to minimise racism, so predictable, I mean white people are far better judges of what constitutes racism than the victims themselves, am I right? And you expect me to believe the ABC wouldn’t report on multiple instances of the same...

IF it did, and there is no indication of that, would it have had the same particular sociocultural impacts as for the Indigenous recruits? IF the investigation showed that Clarko had done the alleged Abortion demand on a non-Indigenous player and his partner, wouldn’t that have been reported as...

Just that it seems Clarko was particularly comfortable about pushing his control too far with Indigenous recruits, just a coincidence? On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Racism doesn’t always work like that. It doesn’t have to be complete hate and exclusion, particularly nowadays. If a Blakfulla with exceptional talent is available, the modern AFL Coach isn’t stupid, he will draft him in the hope he will help him win a Premiership. His recruitment doesn’t mean...

Not exactly. While the abuse of power and control is apparent, It is specifically relating to Indigenous players, which can’t be a random coincidence. It is also the efforts to break down the familial / cultural relationships which are particularly important to Indigenous people and of course...

It probably goes without saying, but not all Indigenous people are the same, and not all indigenous players may have been treated or seen in the same way (allegedly) by Clarko & Fagan, but at least three say they were treated badly, and possibly more. No doubt some others in the club might have...

I get what you mean, on one level it’s hard to associate that sort of thinking with a successful public figure we think we know, but if there is one thing I’ve learnt from history and experience, it’s that there is no shortage of campaigners who think they know what’s best for Blakfullas. On...

As a Blakfulla I’m just totally devastated by this news. Words cannot really express fully what this does to mob, it’s not just those directly involved but also affects all of us who carry the hurt of racism, it strikes us at our very core. Imagine living in a reality where your people are seen...

Well done to the Dees, what a performance, especially in the third qtr. And especially to long-suffering fans of the Melbourne Football Club, after so many years of pain and frustration and being the subject of jokes for so long, this is your time to bask in the glory. And what’s scary for the...

What a Captain! Right up there with our best. Thankfully we haven’t lost his leadership just yet.

Lol yes, I remember that melt fondly every time Jack kicks a bag.

To the Tatyoon Titan…we salute you, sir!!

So-called armchair experts glorifying in our demise, it’s shameful. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

And talking standards, for me the umpiring inconsistency (bias) has been at a whole new level this season. It’s like some teams are playing under very different rules at times. It’s really hurt us in nearly every game this year especially when we have been in a weakened state. On iPhone using...

I don’t buy the theory that the stand rule was the singular factor that did us in this year. It wasn’t helpful, but there were so many other factors involved in our decline, such as ageing and worn out players, injury, ineffective execution of basic skills, oppo teams catching up with our level...

Of all the controllable issues or problems in terms of team performance, the one that seems to go under the radar is tackling. Pressure as a vital component has obviously fluctuated this season, but even when we are on, our tackling is largely ineffective. Oppo players have learned not to panic...
