I had this argument with an old Hawthorn supporting mate many moons ago (whilst both players were still running around)... who was the better number one draft pick with the better career.
Nick Riewoldt OR Luke Hodge
He'd always revert back to premierships... I'd always revert to the better...
My favourite series of football cards as a kid... time for Series 2:
All the mathematics... just to add some 'cred':
- 12 cards per packet
- 30 packets per box
- 1500 boxes in total
- 200 each of the 9 GOLD cards (1800 in total: 1 in 25 packets)
- 150 of the WILD card (1 in 300 packets)
- 100...
Made a new template... so thought I'd make a new portfolio of 2018 AFL guernseys. Nothing special, just getting some 'creativity' out. Once I am finished with the 2018 guernseys, I will probably remake some classic guernseys like I have done in past portfolios.
- P.S. I know some aren't 100%...
My brother and I were having some footy banter the other day, about whose team was worst at drafting. Anyway, I think I checkmated him with this and I thought I'd post it on here as a trivia/problem solving question.
In three seperate drafts, his club passed up on three superstars who ended up...
Hi there,
I know this is a random place to find a Melbourne supporter posting, but I am just wondering if anyone has a high resolution copy of The North Story logo used on a guernsey in 2005? It looks like this:
Thanks :-)
Okay... let's set the scene. We've stepped into a time machine back to 1987. The VFL is looking to really accelerate expansion into a national competition and decides to introduce Brisbane and West Coast as planned; however, they've also stepped things up and introduced Adelaide, Fremantle...
Hey all, been a while since I've uploaded anything. I have been working and stuff, so I haven't had much time to do stuff with the template. However; I have made my shorts longer after Mero suggestion, and I have have modernized the collar because I found that the 'sponsor' logo looked awkward...
Hi all,
This request may have been made before, but does anyone know if there is a copy of the 3AW commentary from Gary Ablett Snr's 1994 Mark of the Century featuring Rex Hunt and Sam Newman?
I know a sample of it was used in a Mike Brady song, however, I've never heard the full recording...
Not sure if a thread has been started on this bloke. Just curious about what other people think of him.
If you're not sure who I'm talking about, just search 'Woodford Sports Science Consulting' on Facebook.
I've got a massive bet going on with one of my mates about which of Luke Hodge or Nick Riewoldt is/was the better player. He is hell bent on his preferred, and I am hell bent on my preferred so I thought I'd throw it open to BigFooty (7-day poll) to decide the winner of the bet. Haha
It's...
Hey guys,
I am using this portfolio to showcase a new MS Paint and MS Word template that I have created. Basically the new 'innovation' is a .PNG transparent file that can be opened in MS Word and laid over the of images created in MS Paint to give them a 3D Shadow effect (similar to that...

Jack Trengove signed until end of 2015
Luke Tapscott signed until end of 2014
Max Gawn signed until end of 2013
Daniel Nicholson and Michael Evans retained at rookies.
That should put an end to some...
I posed this question in the Dustin Fletcher thread... but, what is the most recent case of a player being older than their coach? I know that it was probably fairly common in the days of playing-coach, but are their any recent cases of this? Just curious.
Without much research I've come up...
Tanking is a massive issue right now... being a Melbourne supporter it is a unfair being torn between winning and losing, and I can't wait for the league to abolish the current draft system. The only method that would eradicate any tanking would be a lottery system for the bottom-8 teams. This...
Who at Melbourne has trade currency, and is worthy of a first round draft pick???
I've heard Garland to Essendon, for pick 5 (Though, I'd NEVER consider that).
Any other ideas?
- Bruce and White to Sydney, for pick 11
- Bell and Sylvia to Adelaide, for pick 12
- Jones and pick...
Take a look at the following players GC17 would have picked up should they have been in any of the recent drafts (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007):
Pick 1: Brett Deledio, Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs, Matthew Kruezer
Pick 2: Jarryd Roughead, Dale Thomas, Scott Gumbleton, Trent Cotchin
Pick 3: Ryan...
What do you reckon???
My opinion... call it sour grapes, call it whatever:
What an absolute tosser!!! He has made himself out to be the biggest joke in football.
- Wants good facilities???
Chooses a club that has facilities that are are no better than Melbourne's, and nothing in...
The media have absolutely no idea what they are on about in regards to Judd, or any other 'trades' taking place. Unless a 'scoop' happens to fall directly into their hands via a credible source or *cough*stealing*cough*, they have as much idea what is going on behind boardroom doors as any one...
Have a look at this list of potential/confirmed retirees at the end of 2007:
- Michael Voss (still listed this season)
- James Hird
- Nathan Buckley
- Robert Harvey
- Luke Darcy
- Chris Grant
- Mark Ricciuto
- Anthony Koutafides
- Glenn Archer
Apologies if I have forgotten any... but that...
I may be blinded by my love for the club... but I am genuinely pumped about our future. Forget this year, results are pretty average... but look what we have in our stocks:
- Brock McLean: he is an awesome player, knows how to get it and use it, hard as a rock (we have already seen this)...
Just reported on Fox Sports 1
Edit: I will be banning this poster - but first I want to check his IP for multiple accounts.
I'm glad that almost all respondants took this for the troll that it was.
I light of the who's the best player ever thread, I was wondering if any changes would be made to the side that was selected a decade ago:
B: B. Smith, S. Silvagni, J. Nicholls
HB: B. Doull, T. Whitten (c) K. Murray
C: F. Bourke, I. Stewart, K. Greig
HF: A. Jesaulenko, R. Hart, D...
