I've had an idea. To me I think a lot of the issues around the quality of tv network commentary stem from the shallow analysis of players, teams and tactics that the commentators spew from their mouths each week. In short- all the commentators sound like dummies, and try and hide their...

The non irrelevant teams have a name for that time of year 'finals'.

Yes there is plenty of water left to pass under the bridge (coach, trades, retirements), but the same type thread kicked off this time last year, so why not. With word this week that jake appears to be re-signing, I believe he can now be locked away as our longterm chb whenever we play teams...

So I was thinking about how horrible the standard of journalism in the AFL and how it is ripe for disruption... The problem being of course, is the AFL tightly controls access to information and players/coaches by only allowing 'AFL Accredited' journos and outlets access. Which then of course...

So given the importance of picking 'breakout' players (and solid performing premos who earn their pricetag), I'm thinking it could be worth checking back throughout the year on how players have been doing relative to their preseason form. Of course there is lots of variables with preseason...

Also there is almost a criminal lack of josh bruce fawning in this thread. 12 months ago he was slugging it out with simpkin and delaney for a backman gig.... Now he's the most important player at the club. His attack on the ball, running, marking, kicking and contesting was boner-worthy for a...

So after ruckmangate 2015 caused confusion this time last year with hitouts not being worth what they once were... Are we seeing in preseason or have we heard from champion data any tweaks this year? Based on nothing more than a cursory look at nab scores I'm thinking goals look to be propping...

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2015-sc-predictions.1089491/ How did we do? I wasn't too far off the mark with Mitch Clark- from memory I wrote that the day (or so) before he went and scored a 200 or something ridiculous in an preseason game. almost instant backfire. I ended up getting...

Essendon Coach James Hird has today categorically declared "we can still play finals" after receiving confirmation his team is still a participant in the Australian Football League. Club spokesperson, Pippa Tyde, added to Hird's comments, "We've had it verified by multiple sources, including...

No this isn't some cheap troll thread, but a genuine question worth looking at now he's been dropped again after looking decidedly disinterested in playing football. I remember the 'go home' question hanging over his head before he was even drafted (I'm glad the Saints settled on Billings, we...

So now ASADA have revealed they will release their findings 2 days before the season starts... we can start to plan supercoach wise, one way or the other. Because naturally, at times like this we disregard minor aspects like professional careers in jeopardy, health risks and the integrity of...

Australia is borked. Tony and that fat cigar smoking guy said so. Nobody is entitled to the Age newspaper anymore. We have too many bills and not enough income because Kevin Rudd and Peter Garrett bought too many pink batts. Not to mention the manufacturing industry disappearing... from SPC...

not sure what the relationship with these forums and big footy news is exactly... but to me it has always stuck out like a sore thumb that you go to bigfooty.com and every week, loud and proud there is that bloke with his surefire, tried and tested, linebetting "system". Now im not some wowzer...

Now fashion/asthetics is a subjective area.... so lets looks at cold hard facts: How many teams' colours cause the players to kick the ball at fluro wearing runners? The answer is one. I wouldn't call this a positive sign personally. It seems par for the course that every "new" club, (say post...

Football is a game made great by its traditions. Which is why I'm so excited about today. My Saints will today go head to head with our archest of rivals, the Greater Western Sydney Giants© in a battle royale. The mighty "Red, White and Black" squaring off against the intimidating "Burnt Orange...

Now this isn't some reactionary, hysterical rant... just a genuine question. I for one have applauded the AFL for tightening the regulations with the concussion tests this season. (albeit taking there sweet time to get to this point.) Now of course, things like this are a rare occurance...

i love megawall. i was just thinking the other day about how cool my 85" plasma is except that it's a bit too big. What i really need is to have 39 little TV's i can barely see in my living room. Once again, channel 7 is listening to me, the football fan. thanks Bruce. sooo, let's see what is...

No, not a junkie- it's a dirty big TANK! So i've decided that in an attempt to lull my Supercoach PF opponent next week into a false sense of security, i'm doing something so magical this week, AFL HQ say it doesn't exist. Yes that's right I'm tanking. I've got bigger bollocks than Dean...

apart from the G of course, where else would people recommend watching the match in Melbourne? Open to all suggestions. cheers.

Now before you do discounting this as a rubbish gloat/troll after a good win...hear me out. Across the board I think the saints are the fittest bunch in the AFL this year. Seeing them run over the likes of the cats, freo, collingwood etc. has me convinced that our fitness base is our x...

He can plead guilty and escape suspension with 93 points hanging over his head. I and many others would be up in arms if it was Roo/Joey etc!!! That is a friggen joke that bump wasn't tossed in the bin. More rubbish from the MRP- I hope thats the last time we get effed over by them this year.

I'll start.

It seems every few years a new adjective is created to describe the very best footballers in the land. Jeza was a legend Plugger was a gun Voss was a champion Ablett is elite So anyone care to suggest what will become the new "buzzword" that will get the 12 year olds on BF and tabloid footy...
