Yes I agree with you on that though, especially in tight situations it may be useful to clear a pack and quickly get it to a teammate. It looks more like a quick "foot-ball" (handball on foot) but not always effective. I think she has been doing it more less though and being more smarter with...

Yeah if that were to be his nickname come the future, how awesome would he be.

As mentioned in the previous posts, the watchafl service is now provided by fox footy. You need to create a new account even though you have used the old watchafl service. The pricing is more expensive but I can confirm that quality is better (probably 60fps, definitely more than 30) and you get...

Very German name (lit : sky mountain) but I think I've heard his old man spoke with an American accent in one of the afc videos.

What do people think about Holmes? Didn't rate her highly but she has been involved in a lot of the scores lately (gave the direct assist to Riley even though Perkins started it). Probably a better handball (got quick hands) than kick, but we got Perkins and Killian for that. She does have that...

North?

On paper they are level. Both made 4 Grand Finals in a row. Hawthorn lost the front end, Brisbane lost the back end. Which also means that this year will be the first year Jack Gunston does not play in a Grand Final after leaving Adelaide.

This might have been mentioned previously but if we lose next week, and all other top 5 teams win (including geelong this round), we will finish 5th. GWS has boosted its percentage to be higher than us at the end of this round

Adelaide had a double chance in 1998 from 5th spot when the 8 McIntyre system was adopted (which lead to a flag). Although it benefited us, what I dont like about the system then is that other results determine whether you have a double chance or not. For example if you finish 6th and lose week...

Didn't follow footy at that time. It was a n even season. But wasn't the double chance because of the old McIntyre finals system of top 6? The winner of the qualifying final and highest placed elimination final winner face each other in the Semi where you get a double chance (if you lose)

15-7 could give you minor premiers in 1997. One of the most even seasons. You can also say it for this season, except only for the top 7-8 teams.

Been listening to Hungry For Sports for a while now and agree with what you wrote. But as bias as KB is towards Richmond, at least he doesn't talk gibberish (else he might get the 'gibberish of the week' award by Pat Smith). I enjoy listening to the callers, and everybody always listens when...

Somehow this ANZAC round didn't turn out to be as exciting as I expected. Apart from last night, we didn't get any tight and good games today. All games won by > 6 goals. Heres hoping for Melb-Rich and Ess-Coll to provide some entertainment.

Good : Don Pyke. I am very confident from his "always boring" presser, he will teach the team a lesson, regroup, and move on. I was very angry and speechless on how we let that slip through. But on the positive side sometimes (and hopefully) we gain more from a loss like this.

Back to half back, Smith providing speed and drive. He should just stay there with Henderson pushing to the wing and occasionally taking kick ins.

Good : Charlie Cameron. Not often we get small forwards comfortable with both feet. Good left foot snap (rememer his goal against Carlton?). Tex and Betts are also pretty good on the left.

Stats on afl site not updated. I think lever had more than 20 disposals. Great game, you can feel the relief when him and laird are mopping down back. Should get RS nomination.

Not enjoying when Roo is commentating. Dunstall does a better job in providing more insight and analysis to the game.

You put Port right up there, same with me. I'm neither an SA nor an Australian (only lived in Adelaide for a few years when I was a kid), so I probably don't share that hate towards Port as most of the posters here do. The only time I hate Port is in the Showdowns. Ollie Wines is my favourite...

Someone pointed out on a footy program in the Hawks vs Cats game how Burgoyne knew how to stop Cockatoo because Burgoyne "was Cockatoo" before

If you look at it from the goalface angle you see the first vertical stripe (which is horizontal from this viewpoint) is more less the same as the next further stripe, when it should appear wider if it has the same width because of perspective. My guess is that the first 4 stripes fall 5 metres...

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out but in our 97-98 flag years when we won it from 4th and 5th under the McIntyre system, those years the AFL was a very even competition when 15-16 wins gives you minor premiers. Even though we finished 4th/5th, we were #1 on points percentage and points...

Thanks. I've actually been following bigfooty for a while now and thought maybe it's time to create a new account. Probably won't be very active in posting. Jaensch is actually German. I remember in an interview there was a question what is Jaensch and he said it's German so couldn't resist to...

I know most people are talking about his kicking. He needs to be more "centimetre perfect" rather than bombing or tumbling the ball forward to really be up there with the elites of the game. Great player with character, tries his best.
