Draft Winners and Losers

Nov 21, 2024 | bigfooty.com | Shane Heard |Archie Perkins

#4 Haha this thread would be twenty pages long by now. Guess Richmond smashed the draft doors open! Made possible because of the volume of quality player exodus with them smashing the door on their way out. So no surprise Richmond smashed the draft. They held a draft hand better than expansion teams first drafts....
Analysis - The Ablett Effect

Oct 28, 2024 | bigfooty.com | Shane Heard |Archie Perkins |West Indies

In 1995 the NBA awarded its 28th franchise to the Canadian city Toronto in the hopes of capitalising on its new found global popularity due mostly to the rise of Michael Jordan as a global superstar. Canada was not known at all for its basketball exports at the time and was very much a country obsessed with ice hockey. Toronto in particular was known for passionate supporters of the local Maple Leafs NHL team and virtually no other sport could get a look in at the time.

Anyone got more information on the integrity warning, bringing certain people to the clubrooms who were not wanted by the AFL?

Port Adelaide. The real deal or pretenders?

Aug 9, 2024 | bigfooty.com | Clint Eastwood |Cursed Cat |Shane Heard |Carolina Panther's

#18 Add Dixon, Marshall and Rioli to that fwd line and it looks a lot more dangerous. Lycett as the #1 ruckman is the weak spot. Finlayson offers a great point of difference in the ruck but you don't want to be conceding those centre clearances to the top ruckmen. I don't think they'll win the flag but that doesn't make them pretenders. Dixon is cooked. Should just go with Lord, Marshall and Finlayson as two of them are super agile....
Roast - Geelong can't develop young players

Jun 21, 2024 | bigfooty.com | Toump Ass |Shane Heard |Archie Perkins |Nic Martin

#16 Interesting about Scott. I never knew about this. Contrast to someone like Sheedy who used talent scouts to scour the local Essendon leagues for young talent and was very aggressive in his determination not to let them be pinched by other clubs. And it’s a very long list of players .. Probably because it's a particular viewpoint stemming from a wildly anti-scott bias position. Narkle and Constable were OOC in the last couple of years, free to explore DFA and trade opportunities. No other...
Toast - Grundy: One of the all time greatest career comebacks in League history?

May 23, 2024 | bigfooty.com | Shane Heard

From elite at Pies ..to spudsville MFC reserves and now back to elite at Swans. 46 hit outs tonight with 7 tackles and absolutely annihilating English in every way. Career best season and propelling Sydney to top spot with his ruck dominance. Can’t think of many other players who have resurrected their careers any better than this. Hats off to him.
Analysis - Hawthorn rebuild: are they tanking?

May 15, 2024 | bigfooty.com | Shane Heard |Archie Perkins

#11 I've never seen another club purposely and blatantly tank. It's unfair they are doing that to obtain a generational player in Harley Reid You weren't around when Melbourne were deliberately throwing games? As long as Hawthorn are actually trying to win every weekend they won't be stooping anywhere near the levels of Melbourne from that era....
What happened during the Blue Ribbon cup?

May 13, 2024 | bigfooty.com | Shane Heard |Archie Perkins

I just caught a mention that a player did something ‘inappropriate’ either during or after the game - can anyone fill me in?
