    Meet Up QF BigFooty meetup

    It seems like many here have scored tickets to Thursday’s game. Who’d be up for a BigFooty meetup at the game? Half time maybe?

    Pregnant women - hot or not?

    Alright this will be a challenge to not get the thread closed, so let’s leave out the pictures and stories. I’ve found in random discussions over the years more guys then not think pregnant ladies fall under hot, but there’s some argument here in another GD thread that more don’t. So just a yah...

    Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 6

    It looks more dire for the score, but we the 'expected' result for the 2007 GF was 6 - 8 goal loss for us. Take it as 7 goals, we were worse than the line by 12 goals. Adelaide were 3 - 5 goal favourite and went down by 8. So missed the line by 12 goals. It's because most nuff nuff's can't see...

    Analysis The ghosts of 2007's past

    Now the thoughts I'm about to put out there aren't anything new, but after our first 'close' loss of the year against a comparable side, it's time to raise again the underlying issues that have plagued this team on-field for so long. The big issue? The one that will stop this group getting a...

    Autopsy Port vs Crows review

    Lools like it's the review no one wants to start - and who can blame them? I said during the week I hate Showdowns and tonight lived up to everything I hate about them. We knew pre-game who the danger men were for them and how they wanted to exploit their strengths. Yet after the first quarter...

    Changes for GWS

    Ins - Pittard - had his run for fitness, no brainer to settle defense. Atley or Drew to debut. Outs - Sam Gray. In big games his lack of size and composure shows. Good depth, but not a player for a top 4 sides best 22. He's no Caleb Daniel exception to the 'no small mids' rule. Jonas - he's...

    List Mgmt. Ten Delistings

    Because the 12 months is likely showing its not just another pre-season he needs. You can't always know how players are going to respond to injury as soon as it happens. If was just fitness then rookie listing him and having him work on his fitness over the pre-season and during 2016 makes...

    Review Rd 19 : Port vs. Western Bulldogs

    Venimus, videbamus nos deditionem We came, we saw, we capitulated. And so the farce that has been our 2015 season has come to a close in all but name. I could do an in-depth run down of the game, but unfortunately the only difference between this and earlier efforts was even our usually...

    Society and Culture BF style

    Gulf nations?! Now if it was 'true' Asian nations that would be one thing, but the Gulf nations are fringe Asian geographically even more than Australia.

    2015 - What needs to be done?

    Ok, 2014 is cooked. I was going to post this in the Collingwood review originally, but I wanted to step back from that a bit and try (admittedly when the emotions are running high) and see where the list is seriously at. List Balance The last few weeks have shown up the clear holes in our...

    3 Things you learnt vs. Richmond

    1. Structure is king. No make that Structure is Emperor, King, Queen, God, Allah and Jesus in one. It is the sound of one hand clapping and a tree falling in a forest when no one is around. Well enough mixed metaphors and cliches. Stuff whose ready and whose not. The pig headed stubbornness of...

    Lapsed Membership survey

    So was I the only currently paid up member to receive an email telling me I'm a lapsed member and asked to fill in a survey? After the year we've had I must admit I went a bit over the top in my response, but I think I avoided the personal abuse and restrained myself to sarcasm. My reply to...

    Sacrilege! ABBA is timeless and still all class. I'd say AAMI is more like a P70 or a safari suit. :p

    Youngest MP and first Indigenous lower house MP - which party?

    For all the talk about how the Coalition is out of touch with the youth vote and are a bunch of red neck racists (plenty of that here), the two Wyatt's - Roy and Ken (Hasluck WA) - as the youngest MP and the first Indigenous MP in the lower house both being Coalition MP's could be wild cards if...

    The most important out required ....

    is Adam Kingsley. Sure we had the inanimate carbon rod coming in today for Brogan and putting in a performance resulting in me never wanting to see him/it play for us again. And our players couldn't hit the side of the barn, under pressure or not. Those are a (very) bad game propositions...

    2009 Positives

    So Ford doesn't get the starring role in a new Grumpy Old Men movie, here's a thread just for him on the positives of 2009. Few or far between as they were, there were some. At least for me there were two positives in 2009 - Jacob Surjan and Alipate Carlile. The former moved from a fringe...

    All-Australian Squad - another nail in 2009

    Well the AFL has released the All-Australian Squad of 40, from which the 22 will come and we have no players. Given Fremantle, North, Sydney and West Coast all finished below us and have players in there it's another nail in Choco's bullshit spin that we've improved on last year. The only...

    How many players is a coach worth?

    A discussion that's been done before on BF, but an interesting one (IMO) with our up and down season. Just how many players would a coach be worth? I suppose Choco in particular, but also in general. Take a hypothetical. If Choco fell under the proverbial bus at the end of round 22 and...

    Melbourne, Watts and Pick #1

    If Melbourne are keen on Watts as their first round choice am I the only one who thinks they could be willing to trade it for a pick before another Victorian club (ie. ours, the Eagles or Dockers) given Watts well known issues with staying in Melbourne? For the chance to get themselves the...

    How often should a coach win a flag?

    Before I put down the rest of this thread, it is somewhat disjointed, as it's a putting down 'on paper' various thoughts on coaching and premiership coaches. I've really tried to not have it read as a Choco bashing thread and hope it doesn't become another battleground of abuse despite the...

    Club tagline

    Obviously following on from the focus groups, the latest email from the club has given a choice of taglines to use in future marketing. Whilst none are perfect, the 'Live the creed - est 1870' is definitely a step in the right direction, over the other generic 'join the power', 'join the family'...

    Screw or save a career - which clubs would a player choose

    With the 7853th posting of Fremantle's trading blunders, it got me thinking which clubs are consistently improving or wrecking players coming their way? I don't mean which are trading good or bad players, but whether traded players in or out are doing better or worse. Eg. Fremantle obviously...

    Books or Footy - if you had to decide

    A hypothetical for the booklovers on bigfooty. You're forced to give up either ever reading another book for the rest of your life or watching/istening to footy (live or on any A/V medium). What's your choice? I'd reluctantly have to choose to say goodbye to footy (hopefully I don't get...

    What I hate about Adelaide

    Having finally escaped Melbourne to be back in the fine state of SA, I'm stoked. I'd take living in SA over living in Vic. every day of the week. That said there's 3 things especially that I'll have to get used to again that I hate. 1. A shitbox stadium in the middle of nowhere. Footy Park...

    Book to movie (not done) you most want to see

    A fairly straight forward question. Of books that haven't yet had a movie made of them, which would top your list of one's you'd like to see done? Myself, being a long time fantasy fan, with Magician as my favourite book, I'd be stoked to see it made into a movie. LoTR, Harry Potters, etc...

    A question for those living away from their club

    Flipping the relocation question around, this is a question for all those living in another state then their club. I'm a Port man, living in Melbourne now for 7 years. Obviously I don't get to as many games as when my club was local. In effect a reverse relocation ;) However I don't feel I'm...
