With Port Adelaide making the move to exit the SANFL, the prospects for a full second tier comp with each AFL side fielding a reserves team seems even more likely...

Today's announcement of Ampol sponsoring the club, has made me angry in a fairly profound way. Ampol, as you might know is a brand of Petrol Station, formerly operating as CalTex in large parts of Australia. They are obviously a massive provider of fossil fuels in this country and a key part...

What a joke How long before this arrangement is quietly dropped? On SM-A515F using BigFooty.com mobile app

So here's a game: Guess the following for Carlton 2022 Head Coach - Captain - Ladder Finish - Best and Fairest - Star Recruit - Lead Goalkicker - Most Improved - On SM-A515F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Alright all, time to give this a crack. Who is our best 22 for the 2018 season. Only one outright exclusion: Docherty (ACL) B: Williamson, Jones, Plowman HB: Simpson, Marchbank MacReadie C: Fisher, Cripps, Petrevski-Seton HF: Wright, C. Curnow, J. Silvagni F: Pickett, Casboult, Lamb R...

So here's a game. Guess what the first off-season controversy post draft will be. Clue Style! I'm going with Mitch Robinson in the Gold Coast with a drunken fight.

Here we go! This bit is the messy part, the draft order: 1. B&S - Cameron Rayner 2. Neadsy83 - Luke Davies-Uniacke 3. Blue Tongue - Adam Cerra 4. Terry Wallet - Paddy Dow 5. Coona Blues - Jaidyn Stephenson 6. Blugazi - Darcy Fogarty 7. Gandaal - Andrew Brayshaw 8. ShanDog - Noah Balta...

Ok all! I would like to run a phantom draft. I propose two different models: 1. A draft based off real club positions, occurring after the conclusion of trade week 2. A snake draft (order reverses each round) where each drafter selects their strongest draft class to about 5 rounds. The...

Hey all, I have been an MMA fan forever, and been involved in martial arts since I was a teenager. I have done years of Taekwondo, BJJ, Boxing and MMA training, but I moved cities, and have since found it pretty hard to find a groove where I can get back into it. Part of this has been time...

They are everywhere. Brian Taylor, Matthew Richardson, Barry Hall, Cameron Mooney, Wayne Carey, Dermott Brereton, Jonathon Brown, Jason Dunstall, Alistair Lynch, Matthew Pavlich. If you want a touchstone for why football commentary is so "blokey" and spends way too much time with the...

So I was watching a replay of Carlton vs Western Bulldogs Round 4 and Richo advances the theory that a player who was not a goalkicker as a junior can't pick it up once they are at AFL level. Intuitively the idea appeals, but are there many examples which disprove it? Have many AFL players...

Thought it would be nice to time capsule what people thought would happen before the horse trading begins. My preferred format is as follows: Free Agency : Player x (type of free agent), Trade: Carlton player and/or Carlton pick > (x) team player and/or x pick My contribution: Free...

Without getting too into the whole nature of the universe deal, there is clearly an extended overreaching debate going on this board about how we best approach list management. It consumes and colours each thread from the Blumour to the List Management to news threads about Caleb Marchbank. I...

With the news we will be fielding a women's team in 2017 I think it is time to start discussing who will be in that team. So, I am starting at ground zero here but I will quote a post by ODN with some good info

In the wake of Collingwood's Indigeneous Round guernsey some posters suggested Bird Round. Given that it received some support I am starting a formal petition to make Bird Round an official AFL endeavour. Each team can bring an avian representative to the ground. Eagles bring an eagle, Carlton...

Eligible for Best New Blue: C. Curnow, Graham, Sumner, Byrne, Lamb, Plowman and Weitering (I believe) 5 - Docherty 4 - Cripps 3 - Lamb 2 - Sumner 1 - Wright BNB - Lamb

As I am sure we all remember the AFL re-introduced zoning for the drafting of players from indigeneous and non-traditional footballing backgrounds. We've been allocated the Northern Knights zone as our feeder region. So I thought we could use a thread to keep track of developments with the...

As the title suggests lodge your predictions for 2016. A few categories you might guess at: Ladder Position: Best and Fairest: Rising Star Nominees: First Win: Best Win: Breakout Year: 2016's Hero: 2016's Villain: Membership Total:

Warning: Long Post As I sweltered in my shoebox apartment trying to sleep last night a method of ranking players came to me. First of all, it is subjective, based on my opinion, but also attempts to utilise some quantification. We will begin with the basic premise. All players in this system...

Seriously disgusting. * that guy

It's the offseason! Player nicknames. If there are none feel free to offer suggestions: 1. Andrew Walker - 1AW, Skywalker, Tex 2. Troy Menzel - Menz 3. Marc Murphy - Smurph 4. Bryce Gibbs - 5. Chris Judd - C.J 6. Kade Simpson - Simmo 7. Dylan Buckley - S.O.J. , DylBucks (doesn't really roll...

So I move to Canberra imminently to study and I'm after some info on the footy scene. I'll be on campus at ANU in Acton so bars nearby etc. I'll probably join the hall's footy side and stink it up :p

Just wanted to say thanks. Wasn't a fan favorite and got some rough treatment, never really pieced together here his talent, and got stuck behind two other blokes. Good luck at Richmond mate

Are we looking at all the higher ranking teams going down? Pre-Round rankings had Melbourne over GWS, Geelong over North, Hawthorn over Richmond

So I'd like to give ultimate footy a crack. It's a draft based system, with customizable scoring etc. I'll make a thread in the Blue Room and link here were more in depth discussion can take place Who's interested? Oh and Thy since you'll inevitably post here a pre-emptive "it'll be gone...

Assange to contest Senate election Important Parts: What are the thoughts on Assange's chances, his party's platform and how it would affect the landscape?

Preparing for an exam atm (and on Big Footy :P) and one of the essays I intend to write is on this topic. George Orwell had something of a different interpretation of the term as it is commonly percieved. In his words: He further goes onto extend his defintion: To put it simply, Orwell...

Because why the hell not: BTW I, like you, am biased. I see the best in my team and optimistically think they can win any game. 1. Carlton 19-3 2. Collingwood 18-4 3. Hawthorn 18-4 4. Fremantle 16-6 5. Sydney 16-6 6. Geelong 13-9 7. North Melbourne 13-9 8. West Coast 13-9 9. Adelaide 12-10...

We're back and hopefully better for 2012-13 My first attempt at this (45 mins of hard work) got lost in an accidental page refresh. NOTE: PLAYERS indicates posters who are participating. players indicates footballers Here are the rules: Lists: 1.1 - Lists of 30 players who were drafted...

Doesn't work. Just read an article about Robert Walls slamming Carlton's recruiting, in particular Lucas (3rd year) and Watson (2nd Year). Now I'm obviously bias but players within their first three years shouldn't be judged too harshly, as there are plentiful cases were they turn out good in...
