Hi all (for those that haven't seen the thread),

Some here will be aware of some "cross-pollination" with another team forum yesterday and while some rectification has been made we've been asked by the powers that be to again remind posters of their responsibilities when posting elsewhere. Each board has its own methods and tolerances on BigFooty however these all revolve around the rules of the forum (Terms and rules).

The fact is when incidences like these come up there is no onus on opposition posters to agree, some may taunt and troll but they have the safety of their own forum to do that. When we head that way to fight them there is no protection and no security for your own posting. You post there at your own risk, just like they do on the North board.

This is not to say that all posting on opposition forums by their posters is acceptable. If you see something that you think is against the rules of the website then please report it and don't respond on their forum. If you wish to escalate something then there are avenues to achieve this as well, in the link above.

The North Melbourne BigFooty board is as tribal as it gets. It's not been a pretty few years but as things start to look positive it's best we all enjoy this together and don't drop silly numbers by fighting the wrong way.

Cheers

Thought his frame would be challenged by the role, but genuinely flourishing. Elite.
I reckon he would be one of those guys that would be a lot stronger than he looks from afar. You see close ups of him in photo or video and he's pretty ******* stocked these days.

He's a hard little bastard and is light enough to bounce off contact and balanced enough to keep going when he does

I remember photos from just after he was drafted and he looked pretty solid. Have never thought he was that lightweight tbh.
 
Had his own footy today.
Shifter Sheehan would be wrapped with his development.
Paul Roos was right on him and will definitely give him a wrap tomorrow night on OTC.

This isn’t a crack at Brad as hes gone now so we move since it’s been done to death ad nauseam, however a poster said that Jy is/was an inside mid and that’s his best position. Not a half forward or small forward at all. At all.
Might have been nn or rf8 who said it.
Quite possibly Brads biggest failing was that he didn’t play Jy on the inside. I never saw this level of footy coming even when he was drafted.

Imagine him next week

Imagine all the people.......who’ll be made to look like fools as he crashes through them or dances around them in the future.

Another savvy selection off the back of a ruined year due to injury.

The kid’s a gun!
