I get why it doesn't sit comfortably with Cornes or Wilson.
Because it was respectful and classy...
In 2020 with the undulation, inconsistencies and our current form we have an opportunity to take a big dose of medicine. A reality we've avoided like the plauge for too long.
We have two firsts this year so if we can have two top 10 picks it'd somewhat soften the blow.
For the remainder of...
For a long time I believed these wea thing that existed for us to take the piss out of other boards for having.
They have been popping up on our board a bit so I want to have a poll on where the BF community stand on these things.
I clearly have my thoughts but over to the masses.
The unsociable Hawks.
The long kicking contested footy of Geelong.
St Kilda press.
The St Kilda press as taken by Luke Ball and adjusted by Malt house, combined with boundary line ball movement.
The precision Hawks game.
The Bulldogs oppressive swamp.
The Richmond wave.
What's next? And how...
Clearly we are in a form of transition, reset, rebuild, whatever you want to call it we are in it.
On field
I see the departure of club stalwarts as being a massive changing of the guard. We lose two bloke who have been out there more than any other, this is a huge thing to hand over to those...
In the article it says we are earmarked for an inner city academy and a Tassie Development Zone.
Question is how inner city is inner city?

The AFL will radically restructure the...
I called for us to put a head on a pike to send a signal to the league and to the playing group that we were serious this year and that under performance would not be tolerated.
Well we are on the cusp on another bad loss where effort is an issue.
We have senior players coasting and far to...
What does success in 2015 look like?
Can we rally and make top 4?
Can we win the ones we should and make top 8?
Should wins no longer be the sole focus with a recalibration of standards?
People's thoughts?
Donkey Chop Is this the sort of thing you were after?
Lachlan Hansen $1.01
Luke McDonald $1.90
Jarrad Waite $3.00
Mason Wood $5
No change $8
Robin Nahas $12
Sam Wright $15
Michael Firrito $20
Drew Petrie $20
Shaun Atley $25
Sam Gibson $30
Scott D. Thompson $40
Shaun Higgins $50
Jamie Macmillan...
8 years.
8 years we f***ing toiled and worked.
The AFL took it off us without telling us, and gave it as charity to those usurping mutts down the road.
State Government is now pouring $31m into the sporting precinct.
AFL are gonna give them matches there.
It's just wrong.
So this post got me thinking, its the off season we most assuredly require a thread on this topic.
I'll start...
Donial
The act of being a *scum supporter who actively disbelieves in anything to do with the drugs saga.
'Rines displayed such large levels of donial she ended up banned.'
With news breaking this morning that Benny Jacobs has signed on for the 2015 season, I have won the right to Jack Reacher 's signature.
The bet was for a month. I propose a game where by the posters of the Bigfooty North board put forward their ideas in this thread for what they think his...
In all the bullshit that gets posted on here after a loss I want to catalogue some of it.
I'll start
That we are going to trade Jack Ziebell.
In a team that struggles for onfield leadership there are people saying we trade this guy.
He's carrying injury but in his career this far has shown...
If you could ask 1 question of the players and football department what would it be.
Mine is:
At what point does enough become too much when it comes to losing to inferior sides?
I am a massive believer in that consistent poor onfield performances are an indication of bigger issues within the club.
Gold Coast - Unacceptable loss 7-1 in the first quarter absolute rubbish.
Richmond - The perfect example of why I do not understand what is going on. 7-1 in the second...
In asking the question I have no idea how much it would cost to get something like it organised.
We get some absolutely stellar content from our media guys, but I'm sure that we can all agree if more was produced we would watch it.
I propose a weekly segment that get put up on the website...
Languishing last year in the twos.
Has had to fight hard to get played week in week out.
I want to hear that he has re-signed for 3 years.
The bloke is a shinboner.
Integral to the meat grinder.
For much of last year we were a team that could start but not finish.
Now we appear to be a team that can finish but not start.
People can talk about individual players efforts. People can talk about coaching deficiencies. Its on all of them, bickering about where to point blame is...
Luke plays with heart that I want them all to play with.
Nahas worked his ass off.
Negatives
F***ing heaps.
Can't show up after the horse has bolted and expect to win.

Problem is that there appears to be a bit of a trend. how does it damage your reputation if it is your reputation?
Take here for example
"I am extremely ashamed and embarrassed at my actions on the weekend. I...
It seems to me that many on here began to drink the bathwater being dished out by the media about us being a clear top 4 shot.
We finished 10th last year.
10th.
We melted just about everytime genuine heat was applied, and it really didn't matter the quality of the sid applying the heat...
Jozeph, Reacher go get yourselves a beer you have something to celebrate.
My time as a Mod is at an end.Working out how to word the reason is difficult all I will say is, due to some artistic differences between myself and Admin the band has to break up.
The board is in great hands with the...
