In Chronological order: Templeton: on the duffel coat, the school books, the bedroom walls, the badges. The reason for going to the football in the late 70s/early 80s Beasley; no Templeton but you had to admire someone who looked so unlike a footballer, worked as an accountant, turned up to...

As a staunch Catholic, you no longer believe in prayer!!

I know he hasn't reached the heights of his first year but would rather keep Everitt than get Walker. With Johnson and Eagleton gone, we can get him to play that role without getting replaced by them when they come back from injury. Of course he is probably sick of the club now and the club...

Love a good list. Pretty much based on 85, 92, 97-99 and present. Always open to debate - Mike Sheahan says hello! This is mine. ( seen most games with a memory of them since 1974) * = wish we had them last 3 years GRANT*(missed both ends this year - replaces EJ) JOHNSON ( ignore his last...

As a teenager, I could handle the verbal abuse at the Hill and Moorabbin. They tended to fight with the adults in my family. Having Coke Cans and spit hitting me on the head at VP was another matter!

Anyone who took a single trip to Victoria Park in the 80s can't barrack for Collingwood against anyone! Still can't support Saints after last year. I'm taking the kids to the Show on Saturday!:D

Don't have to be with bigpond to watch the games on afl site anymore. Can get to them from bulldogs website too. I've been watching all year. Not crystal clear quality but free legal and you can see the whole game Mac or PC

On the Couch Crossy said Morris trained today but not physical contact. Meets the surgeon tomorrow for the all clear.

Watching On the Couch , first five minutes was talking about Geelong or Collingwood playing for a chance to play ..... well St Kilda. Sheahan said it was unfair to Collingwood that they had to play Geelong and should have had the easy game as reward for finishing top. Everyone wants a Cats Pies...

I'm with you Jorge. Scared the shit out of me until I saw the X,X part. Didn't see a "Cross gets off, no case to answer" template floating around on the website. Cooney hammy, Morris back, Higgins thyroid, Lake hip, knowing our luck this month, the MRP will decide to revisit Round 8's tough...

A possibly a desire to play us rather than Saints next week:p?

Few Pies fans loitering around with opinions - wonder who they want to play in GF:D? If Morris is fit, Morris in, Hahn out. Loved Mitch for years but sadly he just seems physically unable to do what he was once famous for. As for Hooper, some are a bit tough calling him a career failure and...

12 months on I am over blaming the umps for that loss. And don't relive Hargrave,Lake, Aker and touched ball again to argue with me - we all know how bad we felt about them BUT..... 2.5 to 0.1 first quarter of wasteful domination cost us. Gilbee missing the first goal inside 50 on the run in...

- A repeat of last year's first quarter but 5.2 instead of 2.5 will be a good start! - Just once in the last 6 years, can we stop Hayes and Goddard. Riewoldt didn't beat us last year, these two did. If the ball doesn't get to Roo, he doesn't take the mark and goal. Whoever plays on Goddard this...

Bombers go into Saints games with no fear and just run. Listening to Eade's press conference, he has a negative attitude towards playing Saints. " they're very hard to score against". Don't be defeatist Rodney. Be attacking and get some confidence into our boys to run hard and go forward against...

I thought that for years about 85 until I watched in on Footy Flashbacks before Hawks game this year. Forgot that Hawks actually got 5 goals up in that last quarter before we kicked some junktime goals. Reality is 10 point margin was flattering even though we did lead at start of quarter.(Bit...

Sadly, every time Johnno has had a bad game, we forget about the good ones before that ( and I'm not talking about his superstar years - he's well past that) This must be the 40th Drop Johnno thread since it all started when he kicked that point against North last year. Before the...

Number 7 for me too:( Maybe we can learn from the other 6 and get it right! Jarrod Harbrow won't kick chase like Brad Hardie and allow Milne/Schneider/McQualter to do a Leigh Matthews in the last quarter 85! We'll watch the last quarter of 97 ( I know, that is too cruel) and make sure Goddard...

Serviceable game by Will. In the last couple of minutes when we were goal up, laid a tackle that was paid against him. Didn't give a 50 m penalty away - that was important:D. Physically stronger than Roughy - difference in a final. Roughead got pantsed in VFL yesterday. Shoulder suspect - save...

Convinced all of the TEN commentators bet on the games and barrack for their chosen side all night. Quartermain is a frustrated umpire - all he does is call free kicks that aren't there then whinges when not paid. All they did in the second quarter was hang shit on us and had the game over...

With the number of supporters on BigFooty who have thrown their memberships away in recent weeks, that crowd was expected wasn't it?:D

While both AFL and VFL teams are still playing you can play anyone to give them match practice for AFL finals. If/when we are out of finals, then Higgins can't play for Willy. Only want 100% Higgins in team. If he isn't fit enough to chase/compete/tackle I would rather have a Hooper/Rose in...

In both prelims (08,09) our defence played magnificently...they worked their bloody arses off and it wasn't their fault we lost either game. They've been a great one on one defence for a while now. Our game style causes goals to be scored against us. When we have whole ground intensity putting...

Jack Collins 7 goals in 1954 premiership.....only performance that won us a flag BUT on these choices.... Hawkins by a long way...... and I saw all of these games. In fact all three finals by Hawk that year were sensational As for Cook and West in 97 ( aargh... still hurts remembering) both...

If it's for the broadcasters to fit into their programming schedule, tell them to change their broadcast. During the WB/NM game yesterday, we had to sit through 10 minutes of "Home with Hamish McIntosh", the "Wii Top 7"! and Lindsay Gilbee and friends making lame jokes about Brad Johnson's...

Grant gets 9/10? What will he give Lake, Boyd, Cross, Hall?

We played with a precision, ferocity and instinctiveness that can beat anyone! If we took the game on and pushed ourselves to run and move the ball like that in the last quarters against the Saints and the Hawks, we'd have 8 extra points.If we played with the intensity that we showed in the...

Not even worthy of being acknowledged. No one listens to him anyway. Has to go on 7pm Project to justify his existence.
