Looks like the leaks are starting with us facing Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on the Friday Night of Gather Round. Kings Birthday Eve against Carlton also looks to be happening again.

Coming in to the season, Thomas was predicted by many to make the jump into superstardom. Fast forward to round 15 and he has been incredibly disappointing, culminating in being dropped for his poor training standards and losing the trust of his team mates. After getting back into the team...

With the announcing of a new five-year plan at the end of last year, accompanied by the extension of CEO Xavier Campbell's contract by a further two years, I thought it would be a good time to review how the club performed against the previous five year plan that accompanied the 2017 - 2021...

A thread to nominate players you feel have continued their career for one too many years. I'll start with Josh Kennedy (WC). 35 this year and hasn't looked like it in the slightest last week or this week and could be in for a step decline this year.

Herald Sun has posted the first round of fixtures and we have the pleasure of a first round victory against an old rival. Can't come soon enough.

I don't see this being anything other than a disaster. How much time will be wasted reseting all the time? https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-to-trial-new-zone-rule-in-second-tier-competition-next-season-20201118-p56ft3.html Full rule changes

Back again from 7am tomorrow 7am AEDT: The Early Trade with Kane Cornes and Matthew Lloyd* 9am AEDT: Trade Mornings with Julian de Stoop and Brendon Goddard 12pm AEDT: Trade News with AFL Exchange. With Mitch Cleary, Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge 1pm AEDT: Trade Afternoons with Sam Edmund and...

Can't be far away from a full-scale national reserves competition. I could imagine this being great for talent development for NSW and Queensland teams too...

Potentially a lot to look forward to in the 2019 season and a lot of deserving players will be fighting to make it into our hypothetical best 22 (especially in defence). Assuming Goddard is longer on our list and ignoring any rumoured trade targets... Gleeson Hurley Francis Mckenna Ambrose...

For a player who is a regular in a team that is as strong as Sydney has been for the past 7 years, I don't understand how he continues getting regular games nor why he seems to be somewhat rated. UPDATE: After 2020 and 144 games, he averages per game 9.5 disposals 2.4 tackles 1.0 goals Can...

I guess Richmond is Adelaide's Grand Final next week, hey smasha Go Tiges!

Fresh off providing Bachar Houli a glowing character reference last week, the AFL's Diversity Manager has gone ahead and done this disgusting act on a football field this weekend. Should he lose his job? How long should he be suspended for? In my opinion, he should be charged for assault...

I just had a pulse of anger reminiscing about this. As a professional team and a proud club, how is this anger not more widespread and prevalent - especially factoring in the ASADA scandal? We talk about our premiership window opening next year onwards, how realistic is this? How realistic is...

Tremendous effort by your boys to win today. :) How are you going to celebrate?

http://m.sydneyswans.com.au/finals/events-and-hospitality Pretty disgusting attitude, the supporters are there for them throughout the whole year and all of a sudden, not worthy of the time. Did they only plan these events assuming they were just going to roll it in. Horrible way to approach...

With how much the football community seemingly loves to create three-way debates between players, are Patrick Cripps, Marcus Bontempelli and Zach Merrett the next generation's trio that will trigger debates for decades to come? All drafted from the 2013 draft, all three players will likely romp...

Two bracelets and a runner up in consecutive events for Mercier. With Jason shipping bracelet bets everywhere, a $1.8m payout awaits should he ship a third thanks to Vanessa Selbst. Currently 30ish with 119 remaining in 6-max PLO (520ish entries), it truly is one of the great runs.

Fantastic initiative!

As per the HUN, the AFL referred this to police. http://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/afl-premiership-player-david-king-probed-over-rising-star-bets/story-fnii5sms-1227226025268 The obvious suggestion is that he was leaked the information or was provided the results through his position...

Today, I did what I had thought of doing for some months and finally cancelled my membership. No downgrade, no wait-and-see. Cancelled. I hated doing it and I wish it wasn't the case, but having read the email sent recently to Rohan Connolly after merely reporting the stance of one of our...

UPDATE: This will be occurring on November 15 It may be a bit early however, this thought simply can not wait. Here I was being one with nature on this blissful afternoon at Windy Hill - practicing the ancient art of dropping a leather bound bladder of air to meet my swinging right foot at the...

Carlton having their hearts broken. :thumbsu:

Alright, the end of the season is fast approaching and this is staring to become an issue once again. So, for 2015 and beyond, who do you want to be senior coach of Essendon? Beyond, that, what scenarios involving one, both or maybe either neither of them? I think my decision is obvious, I'll...

For all of you who feel the need to post inebriated, do so in here. Hirdismyhero - I think that's us buddy.

It's been well documented that the Saints have undertaken a radical list management operation to replenish their youth. The likes of Goddard, Dal Santo and McEvoy have gone on to find new homes leaving a towering gap between the remaining stars of their GF era and the new breed of players...

Following the stint of Ross Lyon where they came oh-so close to a premiership, the warning bells were there for the Saints that dire times were on the horizon as Ross neglected to plan ahead of that premiership tilt. A divide was created on the list between the proven senior players who took...

Now, I'm fully aware that this is a very, very emotive topic for us Essendon supporters. However, I think the question is one that absolutely should be asked. I am now of the belief that James Hird is currently not the man to coach the Essendon Football Club. I say that with no joy...

Once again, it's time to look forward to another tanked gathering of the BigFooty board, once again, it will be before a Carlton game. When: Saturday 24 August 15:00 Game: Carlton v Essendon (7:40pm @ MCG) What better way to rid one's self of the horrors of yet another slide than to numb...
