Depth might be tested????? You must be kidding - missing from above team are premiership players Smith, Dunkley, McLean, Roberts and Cordy. Others such as Jong, Collins, Williams, Campbell, Redpath and Webb have shown they are comfortable at the top level and if history is anything of a guide...
Apart from it easily being the best footy show on Telly this individual program has to be my favourite individual TV show of the year and maybe of all time. Gerard's and Robbo's unashamed love of the doggies is obvious. Clearly stems from Bob's time on the show. The package with the commentary...
Looking for some sort of omen bet in the cup tomorrow. What about #4? Name : BONdi Beach (at least the first 3 letters are the same!!).
And who did we beat to win our first flag in 62 years? Answer: The Bondi Beach Billionaires.
Clutching at straws but cannot find anything else. Perhaps a box...
For pure footy skills, clearly the 3rd quarter v the hawks. We dominated - more than double the possessions. For elation and joy - the last quarter in the GF as we reached the top of the mountain. However, for pure emotion and a quarter that reflected the values of our team it has to be the last...
Yeh the weekend was so boring!! Must be like how a drug addict feels when they go "cold turkey". Four weekends in a row where the adrenalin rush was extreme and the feeling of ecstacy (not the drug) was out of this world. Sorry but Bathhurst just does not do it for me!! But I guess nothing will...
Wind was blowing straight down the ground and when kicking to Barkly St, the players were kicking straight into it. The ball was being blown at right angles, jus like it used to in the old days when we won so many games due to home ground advantage. No wind like that at the G but our set shots...
I would like to thank everyone on BF for adding to the excitement of this week. I often get frustrated with posters who want to pot our team or have a go at individuals after a loss or bad game. This week the posts have been positive, have included wonderful stories of life as a long suffering...
The best 2 minute football video I have ever seen and there is not one view of the match itself. I can relate to every reaction and lived every emotion as each of those doggy fans shown. I did not turn away or hide my eyes even though I wanted to when Jack was lining up for that last goal. was...
A big march from Fed Square wont work this weekend as the Square will be occupied by a lot of Grand Final events (outside radio broadcasts etc) and I am sure the stage is already booked by a media organisation of some sort. Other gathering places near the G that might be possible and could...
Yes gates open at 8am but people start queuing at least 24 hours before that. If you want the best seats (level 1, 2 or 3) you probably need to get there Friday night with a sleeping bag and banana lounge and sleep out. It is actually quite a good night and the atmosphere is great. With the...
I think Schultz as he clearly has had a close link with these players. I am sure however, that at the moment when Woody and Bevo are called up to the stage to hold the cup aloft, a certain bloke who wears number 2 will be asked by those two guys to come to the stage to join in on the moment as...
5 category 3 tickets (priority 2) deducted from Credit Card - very pleased. According to map, category 3 tickets are ground level behind the goals (which I would hate), 2nd level on the HF flank (fantastic) or high up on level 3 on the wing (which would be OK). Cannot see how all of these...
55 years of following the dogs. Cold and wet days at the western oval, 7 PF losses - I thought I would cry when we finally won one. I didn't - I was overwhelmed with excitement and just wanted to share it with every supporter at the ground. What a day - great start at the Brewery. Thanks to all...
Nobody wants an all Sydney final. The Melbourne journos will have nothing to do in the most important week of the season, the Grand Final parade will be a non-event and the atmosphere at the GF will be the worst of all time. It seemed like Geelong did not exist last week as we had all of the...
The atmosphere at the GF (and I have been to quite a few) will probably not match that of last week because of all the corporates who attend. Instead of 85000 real fans there might only be 50000 real fans and 50000 who are theatre goers. The atmosphere at PFs is usually better (far more noise...
I saw on the net that 5000 standing room tickets are allocated for the GF. At worst, that means 2500 for each competing club but surely some of those tickets that are given away via radio and other competitions are standing room. Assuming the worst, if 12000 tickets are required for category 1...
Looks like those on BF who wanted to go have managed to get tickets. Apart from the ticketmaster site and the lack of information about how to get the right amount of tickets it seems like our concerns about not getting tickets might have been premature. Would love to hear from members (I don't...

Eagles will only win one more game. They should beat Freo but them have Adelaide and GWS away and Hawthorn at home. I cannot see them winning any of those (and who knows what happens in the derby). If we win two more games we finish above Weagles. If we beat North (unlikely) as one of those two...
Would love us to finish top 4 but as long as we do not finish 7th or 8th we will be guaranteed at least one final in Melbourne. I think the best we can finish is 4th (too much percentage to make up on some of the others) and ideally a game against the cats at the mcg. It is about time we burst...
Pies supporters will not turn up unless they start winning (see last weekend). Likewise the number of tigers and saints that come will depend on their form at the time! What would be an interesting data set would be to look at the average home attendance as a percentage of members. Norf hardly...
If Roughy gets an injury free run, I think he can take the next step. His leap and mobility in the centre square will be invaluable. He gets the taps and then becomes an additional midfielder. If we can win the centre clearances and then impose the forward pressure we did on the weekend we will...
Merry Christmas to all on Big Footy. Like Dogwatch, what I hope for is that this time next year I am opening up my present from my children which includes a DVD of the Grand Final and one of "The Season that Was". As a supporter since birth and a member for over 30 years, surely that is not too...
How am I going to get through today and tomorrow? My works colleagues asked me whether I was nervous - I wasn't until they asked me (Damn them!). Might need a glass or two of something to get me to sleep tonight. Cannot wait until tomorrow-bring it on! Isn't it great to be able to feel like this...
I know that most of us do not want to recall 1997 but apart from the devastation of the loss, my next most vivid memory was the noise the crows supporters made in comparison to our supporters. In 1998 we were drowned out again but lets face it, we did not have anything to cheer about that day...
