[Wosh]

See...There is worse than me

Unpossible!

 

[Chris_6678]

Any poster trying to “prove” they in the know is clearly a 13 year trying to be “cool”

 

[Wosh]

Anyway I’ll let the mods decide the fate of GoWestcoast88Go
I’m going back to my movie.

 

[Westcoast88]

But you didn't come in peace, a long-fabled error.

Not true majority of my conflicts with posters the other poster has engaged me in a combative manner so I return serve. I'm not saying this is b always the case but I think most of the time I'm simply defending my position. I defend a lot more than I attack.

 

[Into The Black]

Ok, from reading the last few pages ( kill me please ) If Westcoast88 has an inside contact at the club, then we are worse than I thought possible.Just stop.

 

[bzparkes]

I've never been afraid to take on those in power. Always been a renegade a rebel. I speak truth to power what can I say.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Oh cool, this thread has jumped 12 pages since I was on this morning, I wonder how many Swinging Dick jok.......

 

[Ishmael_]

Pages and pages of just absolute complete garbage, and all is right in the world.

We're back baby.

Just yanking ya chain, old bean.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Can’t believe we haven’t seen the fixture yet.

Westcoast88 what's the inside word, mate?

We're back baby.

Makes a change from "Sack Simmo" and "Waterman is garbo".

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Westcoast88 what's the inside word, mate?

“My sources tell me we’ll play Fremantle twice, and have at least one game in South Australia”.

The day after the fixture comes out: “See I told you all, haters gonna hate, suck a lemon.”

 

[Godfather32]

And you campaigners wanted a dump thread, this is champagne Bigfooty

 

[bzparkes]

And you campaigners wanted a dump thread, this is champagne Bigfooty

Every thread has the potential to be a dump thread.

You just gotta believe.

 

[TerryFilk]

Westcoast88 what's the inside word, mate?

Sources tell West Coast88 that West Coast will play their home games at Optus Stadium next season.

Stay tuned for more exclusive news.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Just yanking ya chain, old bean.

That would be flicking the bean then wouldn't it mate?

 

[Doashuey]

So, 10 pages of one way conversation with an ignored feckwit.
The only problem with the ignore function is that we still see responses to said ignored imbecile.

Dump thread suddenly looks like a masterstroke.

 

[Schofields_Lanyard]

Oh hai gaiz!

Am I too late to get the afore mentioned Dutch rudders for picking 4 Redden replacements?

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

That would be flicking the bean then wouldn't it mate?

Hey mate I don't actually do back-and-forth organic repartee, just bombshell drive-bys. Hope that clears things up.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Broadbent’s mum is your aunt?

I think phil ment had to chat to 'his' (Broadbents) aunt

Not my aunt

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Ok.

No one knew he worked for Carlton until after the draft.

Secondly, discussing such stuff after the draft means sfa.

I attended the Lions, Brisbane draft night function last year. We were asked not to post anything online during the draft, or that night, but were told it was ok to discuss it the day after.

There were at least half-a-dozen BigFooty members there, along with the local AFL reporter (who was busy texting Twomey all night), and quite a few sponsor connected people.

The recruiter running the night told us before the draft started who we were drafting in the first round.

He also told us who each team was going to select, when it was their turn, up until GWS’s pick 15, who he had no idea who they were selecting. The only team he had a question on, before GWS, was Richmond at 9, who said their last intel was that Richmond was choosing between Gibcus and Hobbs.

Most recruiting teams have a fair handle on what other teams are planning. Especially for the first half of the first round.


I know of scouts for two other clubs who post on BigFooty. Everyone on those club boards know who they are, because they’re public about their role, but they don’t post confidential stuff, just their opinion of kids, who they like, etc.

Which is nothing more than WCE_phil did all season here.


There are many people employed by AFL clubs who are on BigFooty, there are even more ex-employees, and members who have family employed ar clubs.

There are parents of players. WA’s Nick Robertson was drafted to the Lions in 2013. His dad was a regular poster on our board.

Jack Scrimshaw’s dad is a regular poster on Hawthorn’s board, and was a regular poster on Gold Coast’s board before that.


We have a Lions insider post on our board regularly. No one on our board questions his intel, or his legitimacy, because he’s given us the heads up about stuff to many times for him not to be legit.

We have an ex recruiter on our board, an ex club analytics guy, there is a current employee of another club on our board.

There are quite a few members who have connections to the club.

There are even more who are involved at QAFL clubs, who hear stuff through the footy grape vine.

Then there are nuffies like me, who go and watch training, give updates on what I see, and sometimes occasionally hear.


Sometimes fans can’t help but be fans, regardless of who employs them.

Its almost like these guys who have dedicated their lives to football like taking shit about football in their spare time

 

[Chris_6678]

Broadbent a result of some island?

 

[ronpingwins]

James Rowe.

Uh huh

Ngl Toddy, I was skeptical at first.

But goodness gracious, that swinging dick. You nailed it.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Checking in on how the draft thread is going only to find an A-Grade meltdown.

Best draft ever, a big salute to everyone for playing their part.
