But we weren't talking about my team pumping anybody were we

How on earth can you possibly know this? Your beloved Blue boys have been one of the most under performing teams since I've been alive. Carlton are every chance to do a 2012 repeat next season. Get over yourself.

Starting to doubt this

So we're all in agreement? No truth in the rumour?

Does anybody know anything about Shiel's situation though? I waded three pages into the GWS board and couldn't find a thread about him/ this situation. Moreover does anybody know why AFL.com.au's "expert analysts" would link him to us, and only us as well as us to him and only him (other than...

There is a persistent murmur (the latest of which appears in the link beneath) that the Cats are interested in this GWS prodigy. I thought now that there was a 0.01% chance we'll land Taylor Adams (S Lucas 2013), it might be an appropriate time to start a modest discussion on this myth. I think...

Which ruckmen do you think have been the best since 2000? Was thinking about my top 5 the other day, and other than having Dean Cox at #1, Sandi at #2 and maybe Naitanui as an honourable mention, I didn't get very far. What does Big Footy think? I think this could make for a very entertaining...

List makes a lot of sense Although for what it's worth, I think Hannebery should have been in the twenties, maybe even under 25. I also think Beams belong in the top 50 without question, but an injury for 3/4s of the season makes it hard to justify his inclusion

After near completion of week 1, do most on hear feel that Adams is our trade month focal point, perhaps even the only player we'll be going after via trade or FA. I realise these things can be unpredictable and sometimes sudden, but after a week of inaction and no-official comments regarding...

Does anyone actually know much about this? (apologies, haven't read the whole thread) I think about this often, as it seems like such a waste of a network. Is it a funding issue? Could Fox Footy not scrape together enough moulleh to not go into a six month hibernation (minus draft night)...

Anybody know from memory what time of day they tend to announce trades?

It's one or the other, won't be both. If Heath is coming here, likely means Adams is going there, maybe even in the same trade.

What does him nominating a team actually do? Obviously it shows what his preferred team is, but how much will GWS (have to) factor that in to account? Hypothetically, if it's between us and Collingwood, he nominates us over the Pies, but GWS prefer what Collingwood can offer them and aren't...

Would GWS be interested in Trent West as a sweetner of sorts in addition to Trav Varcoe? They might not need him now that they landed Mumford, but he's a good back up ruckman who perhaps won't be getting too many more games at the Cats. Would we be ok to part with Twest? TW + TV for TA?

What happened with him tho? Why'd he play so few games? I remember when he finally debuted he play 2/3 in a row and then vanished for weeks

I forget who it was that said it, but around this time last year someone (from the draft combine/ camp?) said that Daniher would have been top 2 in any of the last 12 drafts, and was Judd and Scully level in terms of a junior (which is strange because Judd went at #3). Moreover The Age ranked...

A couple of posters on big footy have already started to note how Caddy might be a big improver next year. Will be interesting to see how you rank him up against his fellow draftees in the coming years, given that you're keeping an eye on him. For what it's worth, I thought he showed a mountain...

Not true

Now I wonder why that might be

Was always hoping he'd come waltzing in to the Cattery at the end of next season when he becomes a FA. Oh well.

2011: "WHO IS THIS MAN?!"

One of my personal favourites from the 2009 grand final: "It's a snap! PAUL CHAPMAN!"

From memory he went at pick 44 (or thereabouts) in 2010, and debuted this year? Given his relative absence of game time -for whatever reasons- I'd predict that Freo can't really expect much more than what they got him for.

Lets just relocate every team to Perth and the surrounding suburbs. Infallible argument

Where does WC 06 stand against any of those six years?

Not trying to draw attention to my own team or nuffen, but could easily say the same thing about 08 Cats- or 09 Saints (even tho they dropped a few)

Ironically Geelong 08 only lost to Collingwood (outside of the GF)

If there were a hypothetical nine game season that saw the previous 10 minor premiers facing each other (assuming Hawthorn are this years), who would win the minor premiership? For any particularly bold BF poster out there, I dare you to come up with an end of season ladder. I'm not going to...

Apologies if this thread already exists. Given the calibre of performance Motlop now exemplifies week in week out, I thought it was a good idea to create a thread to monitor his current hamstring issue. From what I saw in the coverage of the game, it wasn't serious at all. Described as slight...

Seems a forgone conclusion that the brownlow is going home with Gary this year, rightly or wrongly. I wonder tho, if by some unlikely occurrence he was rendered ineligible before the end of the H/A season, who gets it? My tip would be J Selwood, D Swan or maybe M Barlow.
