Let the coach and players be modest in front of the media. We are allowed to entertain the idea comforted in the knowledge that our team has already made every single one of us proud this year and this season is already a success without making finals. Can we make the finals this year?

I am constantly blown away by some of the posts on this forum keeping me constantly entertained; whether its a clever joke, a meme, a well thought out and structured post or a witty retort. What is the best post you have ever read on this forum, by who, and what was the context?

I am big fan of the old stats so thought we could start a thread with any stats that you may have discovered yourself or came across (current or past) that you think are interesting or perhaps quite revealing. Not exactly wowing anyone with this one and it's a poor start, however looking down...

I am interested to start this thread for one big reason - its a huge key position draft. Having a quick look at Knightmares Phantom draft hes got 6 KPP's going at the start of the draft. The only blemish being Waterman as a F/S selection. I know its early times but I dont think we have ever seen...

As this topic seems to have garnered a descent conversation on the rumour thread, I thought it best to open up its own thread as this will no doubt run all year. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-12-11/the-big-free-agency-targets-in-2014 Carlton - Bryce Gibbs, Michael Jamison, Marc Murphy, Heath...

I just went back and watched the Blues v Melbourne game again, specifically the last quarter. While you can dwell on the fact the team copped two bad losses and then didnt put the kind of margin we were expecting against the Dees up until the 3rd quarter, its rare thing to see two players...

Hey guys just pouring myself over a few vitals as the footy season kicks off and noted that Lachie was drafted 2 year later than Josh Kennedy, born 2 years and 4 month later and as he embarks on his 50th game this weekm Josh Kennedy will be playing his 91st. Ive always been impressed with the...

Apologies for making a new thread. Done a bit of a search around but not having any luck locating. Has anyone posted up links to download the 1st game between Australia v Ireland? If so could you post in here or point me in the right direction. Im not aware of the score either (im...

Yes, we have one of the most versatile, athletic sides in the league. I just wanted to give a shout out to the fact that over the past few seasons Ratts and co have stuck with a decision to build our side to be able to play in various roles. Who could have foretold that the eggheads at the...

Guys im very upbeat about him staying with us. After seeing his recent interview/article about how he confronted the coaching staff to say hey boys i want to play as a midfielder/forward im pretty stoked hes going to be around. The reason being is when this guy came on the scene thats the kind...

Plenty of players here up for grabs. What do you reckon was the issue? Salary cap pressure? http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/104274/default.aspx Simon Taylor Wayde Skipper Beau Muston Beau Dowler Travis Tuck Jarrod Kayler-Thomson Garry Moss Carl Peterson...

Lifted this off the AFL website. Are their potential draft selections correct? Anyone have any inside word on who we are likely to take that will still be around at #18? Ericpascoe, you always seem to be on the money. If you pick this up, can you let me know what the go is. Cheers ---...

Just saw his tweet "Happy for my big mate Sam Jacobs to get back to Adelaide. Good luck big fella". Am I being sensitive, or does that feel a bit like "glad you got out too big buddy". I am open to the suggestion that im being sensitive so tell me if you say so I can handle it, I just...

Hey guys, hows it going? Ok, thats enough of the small talk... With this new interchange I think it REALLY changes the dynamic of the game and associated tactics. What I would like to say regarding Jacobs (and believe me I loved the guys attitude), I wonder how terrible a loss he would be...

Whats the go here guys. I think he was injured most of this year. However he was super impressive when played in 2009 (little bit of aggression he needs to lose but I like a bit of mongrel), so much so that the commentators (McAvaney and Commetti) noted him on several occasions. It was a "im...

Its evident to me watching the players attitude that we need to grow up. this is not a scathing critisism of the boys, so much as the realisation that they are a young side. The ability to beat St Kilda and Geelong means that the side is talented enough, they just lack the mental discipline...

We are going to play finals this year and if we are good enough we will take 4th spot. Only a massive brain fart by Fremantle and/or Collingwood IMO will make 3rd spot open to us. You would think because of Freos home ground advantage they should take enough wins in conjunction with their...

Probably the funnies thing ive heard all year :-)

Players who can play either end of the ground in key positions. As injuries take their toll on any side, or if the match ups arent working correctly, this will be our strength. Kreuzer Waite Thornton Hampson Henderson

It was the title of a book by Richard Branson and I just feel regarding the Blues its pertinent, especially after the weekend (the disclaimer being yes i know it was just a NAB Cup game to avoid the unnecessary posts). After watching the North v Cats game, both teams just took it on. Its...

Hi all, Lachlan Hill David Ellard Rhys O'Keeffe Luke Stanton Caleb Tiller Anyone whos in the know, whether you are involved in the club, have some contacts at the club or have watched these guys play for the Bullants. - How are they progressing? What do they need to do to break into...

Ok theres been enough conjecture in every other thread. Who will we take IYO? One name answers - who you think we will take, who you would like us to take (should they last to pick 9 or not have signed up if currently unsigned).

Without knowing too much about this years draft, which I understand is good for about the first 5 picks before it drops off, who are we likely to take with this pick? I could also assume that as we had pick 11 and now its pick 12 our preference probably hasnt changed from our previous...

Murphy kicked 3, Thornton had that one that Fev snapped to him, Betts fed Stevens one. Thats at least 5 of our 14 goals. Thats a peculiar statistic. Am I missing any others?

Ive been seeing Thornton getting bagged out on this thing for a while, never agreed with it. Ive always felt as though he is brilliance without assistance even when we were haemoraging scores over the past 5 or 6 years. Hes getting some assistance now with players like Bower and Jamison...

Lets not over-analyse things to much - we all know we won against an undermanned Collingwood side. We were ok, but werent convincing. 4 points however is 4 points. We've lost 3 matches by a single digit and we find ourselves at 4-4. Its really simple. Go over and beat Adelaide. And then do...

Ok ive been out of Bigfooty a while in terms of posting but ive been reading and i got my login sorted so im back. Cloke for Hampson. Cloke needs to find a dimension, and he hasnt. Hes shake and bake (and not even very good shake and bake) - he'll either take a grab in the forward line or...

I live in Perth... I dont support West Coast. But finally, he has been done for drugs. I am sick of the PR spins and the lack of admission. I am sick of the supporters who defended it and glad heads will roll. Best of all, there is NO WAY the Perth media can put their spin on this. Finally...

I have read the threads, I have discussed it with friends, I have emailed colleages until my fingers hurt. I am aware that it is all speculation about where Judd will go, who is going to be traded, what picks will be used (or won't be used) and the only one fact that remains true in my mind and...
