The other surely flojo

Who'd've thunk it? There is something for you and Mav to bond over!

It's an easy argument to make.

My response was to the idea that we shouldn't use indigenous words in football because we don't "need" to. We also don't "need" to name stadia after corporate entities, or play on cricket grounds, or use a rugby-shaped ball, or have a finals system, or play on weekends. Saying it is unnecessary...

The same is true for every single other facet of organised sport.

How on earth does that prove my guess is incorrect? It's been reported by a paywalled site with no details. No other AFL news source has thought to tell the story. The VFL club hasn't come out and said "We welcome former St Kilda champion Sam Fisher to our club for 2024". You don't seriously...

Yet not reported anywhere else. Most likely a completely different Sam Fisher

That's all a bit overegged though. This is worth watching for perspective.

Mobile phone innit?

But I'm 100% with you on this one

Lol, the self-awareness!

Oh it'll come alright. The roots of all this go back to Bard. Give it a decade and you'll have your snouts at the trough after you bite the bullet.

No fan of the Blues, so I'd like to agree but I can't. They have a lot more top end talent than those North teams did - Cripps, Walsh, Weitering, Curnow, Cerra. And this was there first finals campaign, whereas those years were the peak for North after finishing 8th or 9th 2010-2013. St Kilda is...

You forgot: 1909 - Geelong and St Kilda were second last and last respectively 1908 - I'm sure Hawthorn won whatever tinpot league they played in 1907 - port Adelaide lost the SAFL grandfinal 1906 - A WA team won the WAFL grandfinal 1905 - A WA team lost the WAFL grandfinal

Did you read the fact checking link?

May not be any "Irishmen" out there today either.

Carn N Daicos for the Charlie!

Correct, they won't be heading to no prelim. Not sure why you thought they would be cursing about Wardlaw?

I think that's a very generous assessment of Essendon. I'd have Collingwood slightly ahead of Carlton at the moment, much more so if they win on Saturday. I reckon Bombers quite a way behind those two. In an ideal world of course, Essendon go another 7000 days without winning a final, Brisbane...

You've added in a lot more context than Mav ever did. And let's not forget he was shitcanning Sheezel in the Stephenson thread, another of his whipping boys. Mpreover, using Sheezel's turnover numbers, just as a total in isolation, was a very blunt instrument, to say the least, to argue that...

Yeah, he and BScott (203 at North) are in rare air. A quick look at AFL tables tells me the next longest unbroken stints at one club without a GF appearance are Bill Stephen - 168 Neil Craig - 157 Wallace (Dogs) - 141 Laidley- 141 Despite the JHF thing, I feel sorry for you mob. Hope he stinks...

Yeah. Seemed big news to have heard nothing about so I googled him. Equivalent of I dunno, Bob Katter?

He's a nut job. Also believes Kazakhstan will lose its independence.

Ha ha, close it off, you don't make part II threads on the past players board

That one's on the Suns. I wonder if the result might have been different if the Freo game had been played first.

That's not up to me. The club would be negligent not to ask, given there is an established process in place. Imagine the uproar if the AFL had in place a system for applying for draft assistance for poorly performing teams and the club just decided not to bother! Did you work out who is the...

The plan was to stop being mediocre. Every team has role-players and journeymen, even premiers. But you cannot have 15 or 16 of them in your starting 22 every bloody week.

16th the year he got axed.

What? Which year did he come second? I have no memory of that, but I could well be wrong. Thought that would have stuck in my head though.

Yes, last year's was announced on Monday of GF week.
