I've heard of it, I vaguely recall a computer science lecture something about elephants and s**t everywhere.
i was too busy downloading images of WWF divas to pay much attention.

Redo the 1987 Draft

Player Recruited By Recruited From Games

1. Richard Lounder Richmond Central Districts 4

26. Stephen Oliver Carlton Castlemaine (VCFL) 13
27. Brendon Gale Richmond Burnie Hawks 144+

This must have been one of the worst drafts ever. McDermott and Jarman were decent for the Crows from 1991 but refused to go to Brisbane, and there were just 2 good players otherwise. Just the 2nd AFL draft but obviously it was a crap shoot rather than a science.

Lol astounding.

Jamie Cox got drafted? I remember he played a few games alongside his brother at Glenorchy in the 1990s before Cricket Tasmania (probably the TCA, maybe still the TCC, at the time) put an end to it.

I can't believe it costs $2.30 for a pie these days, what a bloody ripoff! A day at the footy with the family sets me back $40....who do they think I am, MC Hammer?

Speak for yourself. Anderson is s**t! One day I hope this league is powerful enough to get A grade international half time entertainment like Meatloaf.

Lots of Ted Bullpitt style racism in the 80s and early to mid 90s

Lots of dick swinging related to State of Origin.
