    The Devil and Wayne Carey

    Yep. Good title for a book. Anyway, I don't if anybody has noticed something about this whole Wayne Carey scenario, but have you noticed that Channel 7 in particular has been really vicious in the reporting of this story. I mean, I've seen vicious before, but not to the extent of this. It's...

    What is with Essendon recruiting everyone from interstate?

    Hate to say it, amigo, but WA has the best juniors at this point in time and as an Essendon supporter, I couldn't give a rats if ALL their players were from the west!!! Plus continuing the tradition of Tony Buhagiar, Leon Baker and Billy Duckworth, Essendon is Little Perth!!

    What if the VFL didn't go National?

    Scary thought! I don't know how some of the clubs would have survived if it kept going. I think teams like Footscray and Richmond would have been as dead as Kurt Cobain. I think there might have been a breakaway league involving Glenelg or Subiaco or something, but it is hard to comprehend how...

    The Death of Innocence & The Death of an AFL Legend

    Hey Saintsational Man, that was the best post I have ever seen on Big Footy. A lot of thought went into that. Good stuff. Cousins was in the top 10 players of all time for me and I will miss the shit out of him, but I hope things turn out well for him in the course of his life.

    Didak to be star witness in shooting case

    Alan Didak will be traded to the 17th AFL club, namely the 'Witness Protection Program' along with Ben Cousins who testified against guys in Perth 'who liked bikes'.

    West Coast to face official investigation by AFL

    Hey Lazy...I've got to ask you, who is the woman on your photo? She is just sensational

    Melbourne Cup BBQ Footy Conversations!

    Ok everyone, fess up, at your barbeque on Cup day, did your run-of-the-mill obligatory, alcohol induced footy talk happen? What were some of the topics? Did it get ugly? Was it the usual bullshit? Mine was hysterical as two Collingwood supporters went on for an hour about the merits of Anthony...

    Postitive test for Cocaine ends career....

    Hey come on...how many Swiss kids do you know are struggling right now?? She's a party girl for God's sake. Rich kids don't really give a shit!!!

    Camporeale appointed as an assistsant coach at Essendon

    Some pretty good appointments I reckon. I reckon Campo is a bit of a thinker, so he'll be a great asset. Great hand and foot skills which will help the younger guys. Matthew Knights, you are winning me over!!! Conspiracy theorists will tell you that Lance Whitnall will be seriously looked at by...

    Essendon's Treatment of Kepler

    See, this is why trade week is about as useless as an ejector seat in a helicopter. Regardless of what happened to Kepler Bradley, clubs should not be allowed to shop around players and then delist them when the trade doesn't go through. Just freaking delist them after the season's over and get...

    Knights was appointed because he overrates our list

    I am really impressed in the way Matthew Knights has handled himself so far. I am so looking forward to 2008, no matter what happens. Let's not beat around the bush here, but some of the people involved previously did not have the nuts to make some hard decisions. Great appointment of Ashley...

    Name your frontrunner to take Whitnall (serious thread)

    I hope the Bombers have a serious think about him. I'd just leave him in the square and help out Lloyd and Lucas. But I reckon Adelaide and the Bulldogs might look at him as well.

    Trade Week Over - Who won, Who Lost??

    West Coast by a mile!! To get 4 picks in the top 22 is a great effort. They always do well in the draft.

    Question For Essendon Supporters

    Big call, but.....ummmmmmm.............no.

    What has happened in trade week so far?

    I keep telling people...wait for 1.59pm on Friday!!! It should be called Trade Day.

    A Refreshed Essendon Supporter!

    You know what? This is going to sound like blasphemy, but for the first time in many years, I'm actually looking forward to seeing Essendon play in 2008. It doesn't really phase me how they go, but I was really over Kevin Sheedy a long time ago, as much as I love the guy. Nothing lasts forever...

    Will Collingwood keep Malthouse after next year if they do not win a premiership?

    Guy McKenna's been coaching Collingwood the last two years anyway, so Mick's been slowly doing the handover as he is preparing for a big new life outside footy. Interesting man, Mick. In saying that, Choco is a shoe-in for the gig as Port will probably part ways with him at the end of 08, no...

    Is Firrito really crap?

    The best thing about Michael Firrito is that he has one of the best names in the AFL. It reminds me of a New York City cop....Detective Mike Firrito...say it with an American accent!!

    Trade Week Will Be Challenged One Day!!

    Good luck to Chris Judd in his endeavour to get a deal across the line with Carlton. The system is completely flawed as Chris has nominated a club he wants to go to. So why can't Kruezer and Morton do that? Doesn't make any sense. If I was Richmond, and if Carlton and West Coast can't get a deal...

    Was Buckley's 'greatness' at the Pies over-inflated because they couldn't produce anyone even close?

    Re: Was Buckley's 'greatness' at the Pies over-inflated because they couldn't produce anyone even cl Interesting call. Buckley always reminded me of Ivan Lendl and Mats Wilander. Wonderful players, but they just never did anything for me. Not saying that Buckley was as boring as those two, but...

    Can anybody confirm that Daniel Chick and Aaron Hamill have retired?

    Steven King!!

    Great game by the big fella yesterday. Does that mean he's still in the mix at the Cattery next year or will this make him very good trade bait in a couple of weeks. I still think Mark Blake will be Otten's back up guy next year. I just think King's stocks have gone up considerably since...

    When's Trade week?

    It's actually gonna be called Trade Day this year as nothing happens from Monday to Thursday and everything is done on Friday afternoon. Plus, with everyone scampering for Chris Judd, it's gonna be painful.

    Is It Just Me????

    Firstly, a huge congrats to the Cats. Awesome team. I actually saw them for the first time this year against Essendon at Telstra Dome and was totally blown away by their brand of footy. They were always gonna be hard to stop. Ok, now for Port. I reckon the Power boys and Choco got off too easily...

    Knights to coach Essendon

    Wow...Essendon are finally getting imaginative!! Good choice. Good luck Knightsy, I'll think you'll do well. Play the young guys and really develop them. By the way, Damien Hardwick is a very intelligent man and will get a gig soon regardless of how 'tough' he was as a player. That will be...

    Fair call, Austin! Cloke still might get a gig, but the other three were about as useless as an ejector seat in a helicopter.

    Tanking Is Here..Bring In The Lottery!!

    Seriously, our draft system is flawed. It just does not work and it encourages mediocrity. Why on Earth would Richmond want to win another game this year if it means getting some rewards. Don't give me that 'we always play to win' line, I will throw up like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. I really...
