Football Ground
Football Stadium is currently located in Leeds. Formerly known as Headingly, now known as Badger Vill.
Holds up to 30,000 people, but usually more. With the current 1 million members, not everyone can attend each game. Each year, each member are assigned one game every year, because the stadium is too small for the amount of supporters and members we have. Also any team that visits Badger Vill, will not be allowed any supporters cause our members get preference over the oppisition team and we really don't care about the other team.

If anyone in the crowd isn't wearing Blue and Gray will be kicked out immediately as we have 50,000 people waiting outside.

Now I take it whatlez the fans have two songs they would like as the theme song for the club. They are...
Song 1 (http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/)
or
Song 2 (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/footy/)
So which one you going to pick?
hahah! no 1 gave us a good laugh ;D
Some of the lyrics are on the front page ;D

LOL thats gold!! Its looking good ;)
You actually have the lyrics wrong whatlez. The first 3 times it says badger x11 mushroom mushroom, but every 4th time it says badger x11 then argh there goes a snake. oh it's a snake. or something like that. can't quite pick out the words haha
haha is it an infinite loop or does it stop i just gave up after a while ???
Infinite loop. The second one actually counts how many goals they score so you can find out how long you've been watching for!
What does the DVC stand for next to Barlow? Is it deputy vice captain?

That's pretty neat actually.
haha not your boy Hanley!
Sources of mine have told me that Pearce Hanley has been smoking a lot.
This has put the coach and the player in tough situation. A trade is looking most likely.

Badgers young gun and brightest player of the future, has a good article on the AFL website which shows off his recent fortnight and solid season to date. Badgers are keen for this to continue and only improve and there is no doubt at all that he will be at another club. Badger for life, for one of the coaches favourites.
Hamstring Hartlett makes a stellar return with 120 Vs points in 3 quarters.
More to come for the 21 year old.

Domenic Cassisi will be at the Badgers for another two years. This is great news for our supporters.
Whatlez is willing to trade Cotchin for another teams whole squad.
I might be losing in the trade, but I'm open to anyone who wants to accept ;D

I will trade Dom Tyson for Nails/PB sqaud than give you that for Cotchin. I might have to add something extra to get the deal done.
Sounds good Holz.

Oh dear, looks like the Badgers management needs to learn to control their players..?
Yeah we will need to discipline our players better... :-\
Not to worry, that'll come with time ;)
Front page is all updated. :D
But other than hanley your forwards and defs aren't worth a decent mid :P
Griffen is still on the table if anyone is interested.
16 touches in a quarter is alright :P

Scooter Selwood 165 and Toby Greene 196. We're not concerned ;)
Still looking to offload Griffen, Hartlett, Hanley, Mackie and others.
Also Barlow if you want.
What do you want for them?
Great team thread Lez! ;)
The Badgers as just signed legendary coach, Jayman to a multi million dollar deal.
We welcome and are sure he will help guide the Badgers to a bright future in the upcoming years.
Glad to be here - couldn't resist the multi-million dollar offer :o
After a fairly successful draft the Badgers have used their 4 draft picks wisely. We had 4 selection one in each round and we believe we took the best players to what we needed.
Our first pick was highly rated youngster in Sam Mayes. A forward who can Midfield. This will strengthen our forward stocks
Second pick was spectacular, Josh Simpson. Another Midfield/Forward who again will strengthen our depth
Third pick was Harrison Marsh. Harrison will strengthen our backline stocks.
And our Fourth Pick was Liam McBean. A ruckman who is good back-up in the future years.
All were taken fairly high in the draft and got some at steals and bargains in the draft.
Is this a super backline?
Pearce Hanley Andrew Mackie Brodie Smith Hamish Harlett?
Dream backline or what? :o
Shame the rest of the side has to suffer for it :-\
Quote from: elephants on December 11, 2012, 04:59:37 PM

Hey Hey Hey, the Big O is at Richmond!! :P
We would like to Welcome Holzman as some sort of coach. We will later realise details on what sort of role he will be par taking at the club.
Haha welcome Holz
The Badgers have welcomed a first round pick into the club.
We welcome a legend of Vitual Scoring in Andrew Swallow.
Also gain Tensai Mzungu to add strength to the now best midfield in the comp 8)
With some good trading...
We have welcome two young forwards that are desperately needed in Shaun Higgins and Alex Fasolo and youngster Tanner Smith.
These trades have put us the Badgers into high premiership contention :)
This Starting Line-Up, can anyone match it?
DEF: Trent Mckenzie - Brodie Smith - Pearce Hanley - Jared Brennan
MID: Trent Cotchin (C) - Ryan Griffen - Michael Barlow - Andrew Swallow
RUC - William Minson

Premiership team right here 8)
Very solid there Lez - Awaiting final list lodgements to do an assessment on teams. Ther have been some 62 players have changed clubs so far in trade period 2.

Pfft your backline is alright. If you did that Mackie trade, it would look horrible. Your forwards outside top 2 suck. I have depth as well with Tom Lynch, Petrenko, Nahas etc on bench. You have no one.
Your Ultilties suck.

Cheats :o
we have Tarrant and Hansen as forward cover plus could play Cox there if one of Clarke/Brogan are playing which is highly possible
and our utilities are shower loads better then yours so if ours are crap? what does that make your utilities?
all we need is a couple of our young mids to improve and we'll have a very strong team
Prestia is a jet. Cassisi is alright.
You have like Bernie Vince lol and Daniel Kerr lol

Says you, and we got guys on our mid bench who could step up and average more. Kerr, Vince, Mackie, Cox are the only 4 guys in my team that probably wont improve this year
Yeah well I don't see any of my starters going backwards 8)

JB what do you want for Mitchell?
I am saddened to say this but as co-coach of the Bradford Badgers I will have to step down. I feel as if I have done all I can to get this club in a premiership winning position and wish Lez all the best in doing so.
Happy to go on as an assistant, helping wherever I can but 3 XV teams will just prove to much.
Cheers boys
Ok :'(
It's ok.. You can be an assistant now :)

A total of 1720 I believe.
Unfortunately was not enough to win this week :(
We are the depleted Badgers...
Season Injuries to Fasolo and Higgins. Also key injuries to other best 15 in Brennan and Cassisi has the Badgers in trouble.
Also out for the week is the Badgers youth in Sam Mayes who cannot warm the bench and Callum Sinclair was chucked back onto the rookie list. The depleted Badgers are although depleted, they got the highest score of the year in 1899 and serging for the top 8.
On other announcement, Specky92 has joined the team, but has not been given his main spefific role until coach, whatlez can figure out how to use FF again. The sad news is PowerBug has left the team, but that was months ago. Sorry Badger fans out there who have been attending the home games at Badger Vill. Whatlez is sorry and is hoping Specky92 can help the team out with the naming of the squads for the next couple of weeks.
Thanks Badger fans and welcome Specky.
BADGER BULLETIN
On behalf on the coaching team and the playing list we would like to thank the fans for putting in a huge showing on the weekend at Kassam Stadium, We're convinced the crowd was split 50/50.
For those that couldn't get down to Oxford for the game we had a very solid win against the Owls, getting off to a quick start and extending our lead the entire match with our midfielders getting plenty of the ball.
Bradford Best: Griffin, Barlow, Prestia, Swallow
Oxford Best: Steven, Kelly, Thompson, Goodes
We ask that everyone get down to Badger Vill this week for our game against Grope Lane Giants and we remind you of the special deal at the game. A $20 food voucher free with any Bradford guernsey purchased. We're hoping to to see 30,000 Badger fans in the blue and grey this week.
That's all for this week folks,
Sincerely
Whatlez & Specky
Make that 50,000 Badger Fans! haha

Hey Lez I'm kinda interested in Pea Shooter (opposite of Cannon lol) I reckon his a spud (obviously not) but think he has potential what are you looking for?

Dion is too good for the midfield. Like spuds like Cotchin, Griffen and Barlow. Watch out the meatball is coming!!!

Holy flowering shower. One more forward, come on mate! :P
White should increase his average and overtake Matera/Darling.
Would confirm #Badgers2014 ;)
I'm very confident one or two of Higgins/Fasolo/Matera/Lynch/White can step it up and average around 80 making us a force, 8)

Butler will struggle for Eagles best 22, Mackie could well drop off and Judd will drop off.
Not too bad but there are many holes, including the shonky fwd line!
