So we are 4 weeks in and that gives us our first review point of the season. Here is my take: General Team 1. Team defence - our overall team defence is stronger than in recent years. It appears Clarko actually has a plan and it allows us to be opened up less while still allowing attacking...

Time for off-season fun. Feel free to add your own categories. Top 3 for B&F in 2023 1. LDU 2. McKay 3. Simpkin Top 3 most important players in 2023 1. McKay 2. LDU 3. Larkey Top 3 most important players to help us make finals in 2023 1. TT - we would need another elite breakaway mid to...

Really loved the engagement and thought Ben is a bloody funny guy. Biggest takeaway for me is the way we see Stephenson as a potential mid and that he was under-utilised there. Good to hear.

Still locked up, why not make a list :) This one is the 5 most important players for NMFC in 2021, not necessarily resulting in the greatest impact on success in 2021, but the players that are important for the club now and into the future but need to have a certain impact in 2021. 1. LDU Why...

Out: Campbell In: Maj Have to see the availability’s to make the next changes but Marley out likely to be one and probably Ahern. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

While many parts of our team have been an issue, we have always had our ability in clearances to fall back on. The ole meat grinder. However, when we say we are a good clearance team, we have alway used a poor definition. A good clearance team should be one that is good at creating and...

Didn't see a thread started, oddly enough. Out: Ziebell (injured), Xerri, Ahern In: Cunnington, Majak, Bonar

I have heard a bit of commentary over what lead to the decision by Brad to leave and it appears that one of the drivers was not wanting to be in a position to rebuild the club for an extended time, something that Brad suggested we do. Not enough draft picks or talent was his assessment. So...

Hi All. Contacted the club to discuss the match day experience and am putting together some ideas and thought it a good idea to mine the minds of the troubled and unhinged on BF. They are keen for feedback so if you anything worthwhile, pop it in. Have to admit I listened to the North Talk...

Somehow found this guy after the game, sounds like a BigFooty kinda group. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Just announced he is leaving!

So congratulations to Sydney for their new sponsor, Qatar Airways. One thing, if you play in the Pride Game, is Qatar the best nation to be associated with? It is a strange choice considering the basis for the game is respect for LGBTQ and you have just signed a 3 years deal with an airline...

2/3rds through the season, I think we are getting a clearer picture of where we are going and what we might have next year. Considering the outside world thinks we might lose half our squad to the pension, thought I would put out my early call 2017 team, see where the boards head is at for the...

On field, despite obvious issues, we have failed to match the top teams and as such we are rightly being ranked lower than the other 7 sides in the 8. Off field Brad has just made a royal stuff up and we look like idiots, adding to the distaste after the Sydney game. Can I make a plea that...

Simple question, after 11 rounds, do you think the triple towers are still our best bet moving forward with Daw/Wood making their case? Personally last 5 weeks their output has reduced by a solid amount.

watching last night, we desperately need another KP defender with flexibility. With Wood available I reckon Black should be immediately groomed to play in defence. I would even start this week.

just said on 7 that only the Roos and Suns come out well in the illicit drug testing. Only two teams to have a positive outcome. We r awesome

So we have had another solid year and added again to our list. As we head into the silly season and draft time the questions is how do we shape the side for next year. In his presser, Brad said he wasn't sure if we would go into 2016 with 3 talls forward or go with a different structure. Thought...

Having a look over our recent few years, it appears that it doesn't matter who plays in the first 6-8 rounds, we play like sissy, poorly skilled individuals. Perhaps next year we look at rotating heavily our best 22 and give most of the club a taste during these rounds so when the back end of...

There is no way we can play Cunners, Ziebell and Swallow in the middle together. We r at least three quick players behind the challengers. We cannot compete against hard running teams and maintain the pressure required without it. Let's hope Wells gets back quickly and Harper get motoring.

Out: Waite, Jacobs In: Brown, Wood Wouldn't be against dropping Wells who was simply embarrassing, except we have virtually no replacements on the list.

Thought before going too crazy on trading and draft threads, thought to review those that didn't play against the Swans. While we didn't play great, our best would not have been enough. So the question is what talent do we have before off season moves and what potential affect will they have in...

We have to get some talent in this club that can run, who are we willing to give up. Serious discussion by the way, the Sheedy article was spot on. Is it Black? Perhaps a Mullett?

I have just finished watching the game again and I don't know if anyone else picked up on it but the forward structure was the least of our worries during the quarter. Majak was only on half the quarter while Petrie and Black were there fully so the 3 talls wasn't operating all that much. In...

Looking at the team, the question is do we keep making small changes or do we think there is structural and personnel issues that are far too big for us to change without making some significant structural alterations. So do we decide to make a good half a dozen changes, risking an indifferent...

The best way to describe our list at the moment is Vanilla. We have spent most of our drafts picking mid sized players that aren't quick or slow, not midfielders but flankers and can kick ok but not great. Few line breakers, few genuine midfielders, few great kicks, few great marks and few...

Obviously up forward no one had an impact but as pure ruck man, what was the verdict on Daw and Currie last night? Have to admit last week, thought Currie was pure poo as a ruck man.

Been watching NAB challenge this week and I believe we are in a great position to challenge in the next couple of years. However. I have noticed how under paced our midfield will be in a couple of years. Look through our draftees and we have no genuine midfielder with pace under 25. Atley...

The back six had a tune up towards the end of the year with McMahon and Firitto being left out for a different mix. Looking at next year I have had a play with a back 6 with opposition forwards in mind. I believe most sides look at playing 3 taller players, including a medium sized marking...

Bloody Adelaide! Wingard is an exceptional talent, we need someone like that.
