Excellent post and all the best with getting it back on track. Have been having similar thoughts of giving bigfooty up of late, it's becoming a bit much of an addiction. Life and in particular work is extremely busy (work away from home for weeks at a time). While I wouldn't say it directly...

Cox was so good around the ground that his ruck work has become seemingly under-appreciated. I don't think Kerr, Judd and Cousins would forget the platter he helped serve up to them each week though.

2.40pm is standard, traditional afternoon footy, not twilight. But I do agree with the thread would hope to soon see Friday night footy being played at the new stadium. And whilst I have always liked the 5.30pm timeslot for WA Saturday night games (early-ish finish works nicely IMO), I know...

Embarrassing post above. Don't know what it is that compels miserable mouthbreathers like that to jump in on any positive news. Great to see him break through for a game so soon, only saw bits and pieces of the game but doesn't look out of place in the snippets he was involved.

He'll blossom with time and be fine.

English is going to be one hell of a player to watch into the future. Very promising start to his career, looks to have all the tools to be an absolute gun in the mould of Dean Cox.

One dickhead does not represent the whole of Port Adelaide. Good on Mirra for doing well, seems to have been on the cusp for so damn long.

Strongly disagree with this. Many are far better suited to a career in the trades or through TAFE rather than uni.

Was at this game and don't recall it being like that at all? Geelong were pretty convincing and the Bulldogs awful, not great quality game but Dangerfield stood out a mile.

It's a good point! I mean in WA when did we first get Friday night footy live? Maybe 2012?

Dunno about liar, like the best online trolls around there's usually enough truth in his opinion to cause ripples of discontent. Just making a name and differentiating himself in the media by putting up excessively hyperbolic and definitive opinions designed to rile. I don't particularly like...

Best? No. But not far down the list at all. How privileged it must be as a fan to be able to debate which is the lesser midfielder of Kelly, Shiel, Whitfield and Coniglio!

Ellis was pretty huge in that first flag though.

Black looked a blue chip bona fide gun key forward for the future in 2013. Seemingly possessed all the attributes you could wish and then... just stagnated.

I don't remember hating SOS' commentary either, could possibly be just Channel 10 nostalgia reviewing th 2005 finals series.

That was at peak Butcher! Don't care what anyone says, the ray of light he (and a few others provided) in those last few weeks of 2011 culminating in that soul freeing victory at a sun-drenched Adelaide Oval over Melbourne when we could have tanked was just bliss. Of course history will show...

Stardom a big (well, massive) stretch, but had the Dogs-Pies JLT game on in the background and noticed Sam Murray as extremely prominent seeing exactly why Collingwood were seemingly so keen on him.

I'm no Basil basher, but my goodness his call of the Ryder winning goal was heinous!

One of the highest octane games of footy I've seen, have said it before on here but I really enjoyed watching that Essendon side in 2009. Young, fast & exciting and seemed to find ways to come out on top in the close ones. I know I am remembering only the highs and there were weeks of...

On the Port board (and in much the same in this region of bigfooty as well), it's often like a competition to claim how little you care about the sport these days and don't pay any attention to anything other than the three hours of game time. But everyone still has definitive and absolute...

Brent Harvey would've got pretty close to that all up? I think each game is pretty comparable overall for player longevity (would be interested in seeing a broader range of stats though).

Agreed, Rioli's been a jet since day one but Palmer was outstanding and carried the Fremantle midifeld in his first year. It's funny how it's usually the same people who bleat on about media influence and nepotism in awards like the rising star and Brownlow who are the complain when a guy like...

Kelly will be a very good pickup for Geelong, a bit premature to say he's going to be a gun relative to the entire competition though...

Richardson was a bloody crafty footballer. Not particularly athletic, but compact and played a lot taller than he is - could have seen a Brett Ebert "tall forward trapped in a small forward's body" type impact on the AFL. Like Ebert showed though I suspect the limitations of that playing style...

I don't have an issue with players having the odd drink or two throughout the season or even up to the week off in September, but surely a player would be insane to be touching alcohol should they be fortunate enough to be part of grand final week. At that stage of the year, participating...

Reasonable point, it's good that the farcial situation of teams explicitly tanking on gameday is no longer a feature or talking point of the season.

He's a gun, already starting to push up into the top bracket of midfielders in the league.

Yeah that was just incredible those last few minutes. Essendon of 2009 seemed to play in a whole spate of these awesome close contests, I really enjoyed watching them play that year - had some great young talent coming into the side and played a very attractive style of footy. Dons fans won't...

Went to a Collingwood-Bulldogs Friday night game at Docklands when both were up and about in 2009 I think it was, Collingwood got the jump and looked in control most of the night before the Dogs ran riot in the last and almost pinched it but fell one point short. Crowd was packed to the roof and...

Will always have mine for the outstandingly selfless act of admitting he wasn't right to play in the 2010 grand final. For any footballer to do it, let alone a guy of his age and stage of his career to acknowledge that his team would be a better chance with another player more fit to run out...
