Second last survivor of 51/52 premiership. Power forward kicking 278 goals over 78 matches for the cats and was pivotal in our premiership sides. Holds the VFL/AFL record for the most number of goals kicked in a final (11). But also controversial. Was dropped in the 53 finals series for marriage...
Interesting report came out this week on sports salaries. Whilst its no surprise that there is a massive gulf between the likes of EPL, La Liga, NFL, NBA etc and the AFL, to see them represented on a graph is startling. Report can be downloaded at http://www.globalsportssalaries.com/

Anyone been watching this? Season 2 has just finished and IMO best UK comedy of the past few years. Great characters from Clem Fandango to Ray 'bloody' Purchase
Hi All - BigFooty has been upgraded, if you spot any issues where something that was working is now not working, post it here.

It works in the same way that the tweet button works, but posts to your timeline. When you post, you can choose whether to share only with friends or with the wider world.

Have been toying with an idea inspired by listening to a show about the Estonian Goverment Portal. What they have is a single portal entrance to all government services, secured with your id card. With this you can request and submit forms, check your over due library books, view your medical...
It seems that our rivalry against the magpies is of the mundane sort, as its good footy gospel that people hate Collingwood and therefore its nice to beat them. It's no more than say the Bulldog's relationship with them and certainly not to the level of antithesis with Essendon or Carlton.
To...
I''m not sure if others are experiencing this, but when the app tries to update, I'm getting an error saying that the app hasn't been signed correctly. Going by comments on play, I'm not the only one.
Complete debacle on the part of AFL and Telstra - For the technically minded, signature...
We have now implemented a change into the way this works. Temporary 'bans' are now no longer banned, people who receive such infractions will now be 'suspended'. This allows the user to read the site but cannot change content and cannot receive pm's, except from staff. They will be able to view...

Is fast becoming the best thing in comedy.
Of course that is my own opinion, I guess he is best known for The IT Crowd but he was brilliant in 'Toast of London' - Good news is that a second series has been promised. Be warned it takes an episode or two to get into it.
Was also great in...
With Andrew's resignation seemingly imminent, what has been the legacy of his ten years at the helm.
The positive aspects is that under his tenure, the AFL has firmly gripped the mantle of Australia's premier sport. At worst, grass roots footy is suffering and the game compromised by fixturing...
This account on the formation of footy is my own take on how footy came about. I've felt that the generally accepted view of how footy came about didn't really take into account the realities of life at the time.
The events of 150 years ago, and the logic behind those events resonate through...
I was disappointed to read about the latest regulations concerning who can enter 'restricted areas' and the use of mobile phones. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-makes-big-call-with-clubs-restricted-to-10-phones-on-match-day-20140206-324ol.html
It's all just window dressing to make it...

I really hope they remove them completely. They are a relic from bygone eras of amateurism. This isn't the under 9's. I firmly believe that...
What is the go here? I was at the match yesterday so didn't have any info to hand and I can't bare to face the papers this morning.
