My goodness. It’s been a while since anyone posted here. Don’t worry, we haven’t given up football. If anything football has taken over us so much that this blog became an afterthought. A lot has happened from my point of view. From the lows of the cats losing to the Bombers and Eagles in successive [...]

What Grinds My Gears – AFL Round 2, 2011
This is an idea for a post generated from Geelong’s Shannon Byrnes (@ShannonBoourns on twitter) who often posts on twitter a series of tweets called ‘What Grinds My Gears‘ or WGMG for short. I think it’ll be pretty cool to start a hashtag (#) of #WGMG of things that ‘Grind Our Gears’ in the AFL [...]
AFL Power 17 – Round 1, 2011
This is an idea I had based on the power 25 that the WWE do and I thought I’d apply it to the 17 teams in the AFL. It’s not based on the official AFL ladder, it’s more based on teams in form. Basically the top 2 listed teams would be match of the round [...]
Round 1 – A Rough Start
2011 sure has been a rough year for Queenslanders. First we had floods covering half the state, then we had cyclones Anthony and Yasi, and now the latest natural disaster to hit my home state – Luke Mcpharlin’s knee. Perhaps I’m being a little melodramatic, but the events that took place the evening of March [...]
AFL Prediction 2011 by Beno
This is Beno’s version of FootyHigh’s Annual Prediction post for the season ahead. Check out Sarge’s Ultimate Prediction Post for 2011 and Matty P’s 2011 Crystal Ball for their predictions.

The pre-season is finally coming to an end, so we can stop talking about schoolgirls, player managers and Fev’s darkest days and we can turn our attention [...]
NAB Cup and NAB Challenge 2011 Form Guide
In preparation for some upcoming prediction posts for the 2011 season ahead, I thought I’d get together a bit of a form ladder based on the NAB Cup and NAB Challenge games. So here’s the preseason form ladder (note final ladder positions based on percentage may not be 100% accurate but it’s pretty damn close): [...]
Where Should the NAB Cup head?
This is a response to Colin Wright’s (@Coldogs) article 20/20 Hindsight on the Wayne Schwass Facebook page As a cats fan in Brisbane I rarely see any cats game live. I’d much rather see my team playing every week on TV, even if it is a practice match than this preseason knock out competition. Apart [...]
Footy is back for 2011!!!!
Finally footy season is upon and as its a new year of footy its also a new year for footyhigh. I have a few bones to pick as i didn’t really post that much in the back half of last season, first of all dreamteam i admit i made some mistakes and it cost me in the [...]
This is the End
It’s been a massive footy season – so jam-packed with action they had to add an extra week, and bar the huge circle jerk that is trade week (please Vossy, just remain calm), it’s all over. From a team perspective, 2010 has been a bit of a fizzer. My Lions were ravaged by injury and [...]
