    Certified Legendary Thread Dont laugh, we're still in it come Rnd 23... [TOTY]

    For all the opposition supporters secretly (or partially) barracking for us, I exempt from this. But for all those who laughing at us during the season, or who made 9th jokes, or who stomped on this possibility five weeks ago, HOW DO YOU LIKE US NOW? Fantastic! Once in a lifetime comeback wipes...

    2013 AFL Power Rankings

    Mine currently has Fremantle second, but since I haven't posted since the end of the H&A season that wouldn't be known.

    2013 AFL Power Rankings

    I agree - I have no love for Hawthorn, but they were the #1 team who Sydney were good enough to outplay on that day in September.

    2013 AFL Power Rankings

    Thanks for putting these up - as you say, they help give a clearer picture of why teams are ranked where they are. (Actually, the last few pages of this thread seem to have a greater trend towards the analytics of ranking teams. It does make for a more informed discussion, but I can't help but...

    2013 AFL Power Rankings

    Once again, I think Roby's power rankings are pretty much right (the Hawks were probably the best team last year, but obviously every Hawks supporter takes no consolation from that suggestion, and every Sydney supporter is happy to just take the cup). But again what makes them essential reading...

    Toast Deledio's 150th

    It is quite astonishing when you think about it how quickly he's got to 150. He could end up with a large swag of B&Fs.

    Goddard's trade value

    One bit of advice in respect to trading Goddard: don't! But, hypothetically, barring a big drop off in form, he'd probably be worth 2 picks in the top 12.

    Opinion AA team from bottom 8 sides

    Top 8 team would be favourites I think, but bottom 8 team could win on their day.

    Scape Goat Daniel Jackson

    I'd personally prefer to keep Jackson than to lose him, though not at the expense of killing our cap space. Hopefully its more rumour than fact and a deal can be reached. Also he's the club's best Tweeter.

    Opinion AA team from bottom 8 sides

    That's pretty much on the mark I reckon - maybe I would replace Johncock with Morris, swap Swallow and Wells, and squeeze Harvey on to the forward line in place of Gia to make room for Moloney. I think Cotch has had a slightly better year than Martin, but given team balance Martin is probably...

    Opinion Best 22 you have seen.

    I started watching footy regularly in '85. B: Wanganeen, Scarlett, Ayres HB: McLeod, Roos, Buckley C: Judd, G Williams, Voss HF: Hird, Carey, Ablett Sr F: Richo!, Lockett, D Jarman R: Cox, Ricciuto, Ablett Jr I: R Harvey, C Grant, Cousins, S Black. (Yeah, there's probably been better...

    News Brett Deledio Says Solid Start Created False Hope

    During our best run for the season, we didn't really beat any team of note: North and Essendon were really our 'biggest' scalps. The midfield is not bad, but we struggle if Cotchin and Martin are shut down. Jack and Vickery look like our key forwards for a while, but we need some class around...

    Opinion A list of clubs that are immune to large attendance downturns in struggling times.

    I worked this out a few years back for the period since 82 - Hawthorn was the most immune, followed by Brisbane, Essendon and Adelaide. Sydney and Collingwood were the least immune, though as much as I'd like to bag the Pies it might have something to do with them regularly playing at big venues.

    Opinion Worst/least favourite 10 matches you have seen involving your club

    So many for the Tiges - here are a few that still grate: 2007 Cats - lost by 150- odd, even if I saw less than 3/4 of it. 1987 Pies - up by 40 at 3/4 time, lost 1989 Cats - lost by 130-odd, Ablett kicked 14 The McCartney game - awesome for him, but felt like universe was against us The...

    Opinion Favourite 5 Tigers of all time

    Richo, Flea, Disco, Campbell and Dusty are my favourites that I've watched regularly. But from the old footage I've seen I reckon Hart, F Bourke and Robbie McGhie would make the list if I'd been born 20 years earlier.
