There has been a bit of chatter about what to do with our forward/2nd ruck position. So I just thought it would be interesting to see where everyone thinks they are on the pecking order. Rank these in order of how likely you would be to pick them in that spot. Obviously some of the players...

We can't do it. Especially not against top 4 teams. Haven't been able to for a decade. 66-45 our way and we lose again. But no, it's the supporters who are idiots. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

There were a couple of signs of slight change last night. Albeit it wasn't a high standard being a first round in the heat. 1. Bullet passes There seemed to be a concerted effort to keep the ball lower on the switch to prevent intercepts and make the switch more effective. It caused them to...

A consensus team of reserves players for whom the BF hype never quite met reality (if only the coaches had given them a go). I'll get it started and update the OP as we go along. FF: Wade Thomson, John Butcher, Jarrod Redden HF: Damon White, Nick Salter, Aaron Young C: Marty afrederixj...

Our social media and in-house production team seem to be so poor at producing actual content that members might want to watch. The 2 most recent examples being the HOF acceptance speeches (esp Peter Burgoyne) and highlights from the intra club. These kinds of videos could be made by a...

Both Connor and Todd have mentioned Chad doing extra 30 minute goal kicking sessions with the forwards and mids who will rotate forwards. Hopefully he is passing on some of Choco's goal kicking tips. Both said a lot of it is mental and having consistent routines. God knows we can use it. On...

Another one to kill the time in the off season. I know a few on here love this topic and I expect Russell Ebert and Brendan Achee to feature prominently. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Continuing the off season memory lane. What bumps and tackles are the most memorable in PAFC history. 2 that stand out for me were both in Showdowns. Pickett on Biglands obviously. The 2nd is a little more obtuse but after weeks of build up about how Wines had better not try and take on...

The marks thread has been so enjoyable, especially the inputs from those with much longer memories than mine. So I thought this next trip down memory lane would be worthwhile. For me it's an easy choice as my hero sealed a massive game against the old enemy. On SM-G975F using...

Inspired by a thread on the main board I thought this might ne a fun (and lighter) off season discussion. For me it is the Harold Oliver mark in 1914. Despite limited pics it is clearly a screamer from such a great player and so iconic. Other challengers from my memory are Wingard against St...

There's been a bit of chat about us lacking midfield depth. I'm not sure that is true. I think we just have most of our midfield depth playing in the AFL rather than the SANFL. So who would you put in our depth chart and in what order. Here's mine based on 2024 expectations. Butters Rozee...

No doubt many of the trades will get complicated by pick and player swaps but it's still fun to try and predict the results (not what you think we SHOULD pay, rather what you think they WILL). Rat: Future 1st with a future 2nd coming back Zerk: 37 Sweet: 43 Surprise player gain: Shaun...

With our proposed recruits it seems like we are going to go all out on the high defensive press and intercept marking game. Unless they develop significantly there aren't any KPD that I would be confident defending a 1v1 at a crucial time in a big game. So the question is this. Can you get...

It's time. The club needs to be gutted. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

An interesting snippet from the Grundy to Sydney article. It doesn't seem to reflect our lived reality under Ken over the last 11 years. Nor his repeated public comments. Could this be the strongest sign yet that Carr is taking the reigns? It sounds a lit more like a Carr pitch than a Ken...

Lord SPP Drew That's it. These are the types we need more of. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Seems like it is on the table. Rumours of 9 and 17 on offer. Who gets it and what do they pay? On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

The last 2 times I went in to a finals series with such a feeling of trepidation was 2004 and 2021. Which one are we in for this year? I feel like it's 99.9% 2021. But there's still that 0.1% that thinks what about 2004 though. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

I feel like DBJ is the obvious choice to be elevated from the leadership group. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

The PAFC is making a massive mistake alienating the very people who allowed them to survive the rough times (and would do so in the future). Whilst all the credit gets heaped on Koch and Ken those of us with memories longer than a goldfish know that the clubs owes its survival to 2 groups...

How good was the crowds reaction when the cameras focused on Carr for a while. First time we have seen him on there all year. I wonder if the camera man and producer did it off their own bat or if the club requested it. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Retro round done right. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

GWS, Freo and Richmond. If we play like we did tonight and have a few players regain fitness we win these 3 and finish top 2 and in form. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

What do you think is the case? (I'd do a poll if I could on the app). 1. We just aren't that good 2. Injuries 3. Ken has been extended and the players have relaxed 4. Ken has been extended and the players are depressed. 5. Ken has been told his time is up and the players are sulking...

Sounds like he is getting sacked by GC today. Id love for him to replace Hinkley as our guy on the bench. He is by all reports a great relationships guy and he's a winner. On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

This is going to be a big topic this week now. Bryce Gibbs just gave a very honest answer on SEN when asked about it. Paraphrased said "its not a small difference" (AFL teams to non AFL teams) "Felt like a 10-15 free kicks a week difference" "The numbers don't lie". On SM-G975F using...

Have we finally found it? The first half of last week and this week felt different. If we have learnt to kick easy goals look out! Also who deserves credit? Ken? Chad for the forward line? Carr for the way the mids are kicking i50? On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app

We are really starting to add some depth at the moment. Bergman has gone to another level this year. Williams and Lord and even McEntee have been good. Jones was great today. Sinn and Jackson looking ready. We are really starting to develop some great depth. If we can just find a fast small...

We have spoken a lot about our weaknesses coming into this year. The key ones for mine are. 1. Ruck 2. Tall KPD 3. i50 conversions It is easy to forget when over analysing your team that all teams have weaknesses. Geelong had similar weaknesses in KPD and ruck last year and you could add...

Not talking about Port, as our changing of the guard has already happened. Rozee, Butters, Drew and JHF are the present, not the future. But AFL wide are we ready to take over Melbourne's mantle as the #1 midfield in the league? If not are we next? It will be a fascinating battle tonight and...
