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.

Hird would be a brilliant oppo analyst. If he shows any sign of interest we will be competing with every other club in the AFL. Hope they asked the question.
Yeah it’s why RTB tried getting him for basically that exact role for us all those years ago.

Definitely worth a shot , especially as he wouldn’t even have to leave his life in Melbourne for it
 
Was looking for the stats on winning the GF after finishing 6th on the ladder and came across this.



Pretty interesting read.
Overall, the minor premiers have missed only 13 of the Grand Finals...

Great, so we're in pretty exclusive company then. :(
 
I’ve like Bartel in this role this year…he’d be an interesting coach, because Reid reminds me of him.

If he can get to Bartel levels we’ll have a very special player
Thats exactly who Reid reminds me of! Glad I'm not alone on that.

Bartel was one of my favourite non Freo players to watch. Reid is one of my favourites to watch now. So damn good.

The good thing for us is I think he has Bartel for pace.

The only thing Murphy lacks currently is some depth on his kicking.

Bartel had a huge leg. 50+metre specialist.

Murph is more your ridiculously deft touch in close kind of guy.

It's a long bow to draw but the way Murph puts the ball in space in front of his targets reminds me of this guy:



And if you haven't experienced White Chocolate, take some time to digest this:

I love Dogga, but he'd only be in as a second ruck if they went thay way. Gawn and Grundy have both been better than him.
Oh I agree as second ruck.

Yea idk reckon Gawn getting by with a bit of rep.
Not disputing he’s still been very good but Melbourne have been deplorable this year so Gawn a influence hasn’t been that great conversely doggas been huge for ys

Agee Grundy should get the no1 spot
 
Am expecting Jordy to make the final team and hopefully Sebba and Dogga on the interchange bench.

Unfortunately don't think Brae will make the final cut. Bit disappointed also that JT didn't make the squad especially with the presence he's had in the fwd line and how hard he works defensively around the ground.
