Back by popular demand. However...

There has been some aggro from publishers of articles in recent months about sites that copypasta their content onto other sites, particularly the paywalled ones, which could lead to fines and whanot for those that do it. Apparently there are copywrite laws for these things. As a result we can no longer have full articles reposted here, so if you come across something then please refrain from nabbing the whole thing and just post the link. Quoting a paragraph or two and linking the source is fine however, just don't get greedy.

Here's the updated site-wide rule: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/please-read-re-copyright-posting-newspaper-articles.1389553/

Here's an example of what you can do:

"If West Coast was the gold standard for how to operate, then Fremantle's arrival into the AFL in 1995 could be viewed as a series of cautionary tales.

Despite eight wins in that debut season, a series of poor recruiting choices meant they didn't play their first final until 2003."

If they believe that us not making finals until 2003 was solely due to "a series of poor recruiting choices" then I have a bridge to sell them.


Thanks for your understanding.
 
This game was Champion Data’s worst nightmare. They absolutely love the Dogs, reckon they have half of the top 10 best players in the AFL while they HATE Freo. Daniel Hoyne might call in sick for his SEN bit on Tuesday night.

David King suddenly has man flu…
This was probably the fastest we moved the ball all season tbh. They could both they say they told us so for that.

Having that think moving it faster was a deliberate plan due to how poorly the Bulldogs handle that type of play. That won't be mentioned though.

I was disgusted when King openly cheered on the bulldogs last week

The difference listening to Bartel and hird compared to gamblor and Jay Clark is mind blowing. Hird and Bartel are so much better to listen to least they are insightful and have valid reasons
Don't compliment Hird too much or he might try go for a coaching job again.
 
Was looking for the stats on winning the GF after finishing 6th on the ladder and came across this.



Pretty interesting read.

Just knew he was ready to bash Freo today.

Expect he'll bash us when our season ends whether thats in two weeks time or if we win the flag (he just point out how long it took).

Thank god Crumpet Face isn’t in the media anymore.
I know it comes across as tin hat stuff but I genuinely reckon a couple of guys in the media (Gossage, Hardie, King) have been snubbed by Freo in the past.
As much as I dislike Gossage, at least he's honest enough to mention that his judgement is clouded when he's had a bad experience with some organisations.
I actually reckon Cornes is fairly neutral towards Freo (apart from getting the Jackson/Darcy stuff wrong)
 
Kane Cornes had a fair bit of fun with King while discussing us this morning.
King just will not deviate from his narrative about fast football being good football.
Kane asks (to paraphrase): 'Now they've got 16 wins, qualified for a home final, and beaten Adelaide, Collingwood, GWS, Gold Coast, Hawthorn and the Dogs. You can't dispute they've put a good body of work together and their best footy stacks up can you?'
Kingy: 'That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it' 🤣

Also, he was trying to be funny by wearing a Bintang bucket hat and Hawaiin shirt in reference to JL's Bahama's comments. In actuality he looked more like he was dressed for the annual golf day at the local retirement village.

At this point, King is just committing to the bit to be fair. That discussion with Cornes would have been borderline scripted.

He's in a clicks based business, he's getting a lot more interaction being a stubborn jackass than admitting any kind of fault unfortunately. Just the business

King cannot fathom that teams can’t play exactly the way they want to play for a full 120 minutes of footy.

He’s obsessed with “speed of ball movement” which is true to an extent but different periods of a game calls for different methods of play. He’d be absolutely useless in any coaching position (which is probably why he’s a media personality)

I missed this one yesterday and just read it now.

Very insightful. It validates JLo’s decision to hide the new “chaos mode” in the Indigenous All Stars match and his subsequent comments of just rolling out the vanilla brand so as not to give anything away 🤣
