I reckon the best individual award you can win is B&F in a premiership year. Your club has deemed you its best player in its best year. There are 2 players who have won 3 B&Fs in a premiership year. Kevin Bartlett Leigh Matthews It's a short list, but a good list.

As a Richmond fan - I'm going to say KB. Bruce Doull was very good, too.

That's because it was in the 2000s - Rd 6, 2006 to be exact. On 'Richmond invented basketball crap' - as noted above, it was a trend in the game at the time. On the EXACT same day - Rd 8, 20th May, 2006 - that Richmond took 181 marks against Adelaide, Collingwood took 177 marks in their game...

Adelaide kicked 15 straight against Hawthorn only 3 years ago, which everyone has forgotten. /vicbias/ https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2021/011020210425.html

That St Kilda Sydney game at Docklands is legendary - it always gets a run in 'Worst games you've watched' etc. I watched on TV and do remember how numbingly bad it was.

I'm still undecided. He obviously has some skills, but he sometimes looks like he doesn't know how to play the game. Ok, he kicked 3 goals - the first one was from such a soft free, if it had been paid against us, the umpiring conspiracy thread would have blown right up. The second was from a...

Still don't see it. He's so ........ unathletic. Unbelievably slow, can barely take a mark, can't even compete strongly, ruckwork is non-existent (at least he can sometimes nullify the opposition because he's so tall). He takes an age to change direction which means his leading is very slow...

Dow has now played 29 games . In exactly one of those games, he has had more kicks than handballs. His career stats are: 161 kicks 285 handballs On average, a team has 1.5 times as many kicks as handballs. Now, some players are expert handballers and are great setup players, but Dow seem to...

Gee whiz Tedesco - don't try that 'tap crap' on the 2nd tackle when 5 metres out.

It doesn't matter. Choose who you want. It was interesting that, although Silvagni made the TOTC, in the same season, the Herald Sun produced a list of the 'Greatest 200 players of the last 100 years. Silvagni wasn't even rated the best Carlton Full Back.

If you don't like the Brownlow - you can ignore it. No one is making you watch it or bow down to the winner. I think 'Fairest' is a perfectly good attribute to include in one (of the many) awards given out to players. Every other award gets howled down because of perceived biases of coaches...

It's the shorts. Game was played in Geelong so the umps were looking for the away team wearing the white shorts. Got explained to them at half time.

Petroleum jelly is a serendipitous byproduct of the oil industry.

Well, to be fair - that's the 2nd time in 11 games this season they've lost the free kick count. So, understandable.

That was ...................... appalling. He's been pretty bad all year, but that was a new low. We seriously would have been better playing with 17 on the field. Put him on the HFF and let him have shots for goal from 50+, but other than that - I don't know. This is a guy who came off the...

Ryan did something positive - kept out of Bolton's way.

Vlastuin's having one of thosew games where every decision goes against him and he starts making mistake. He's going to snot someone soon.

So a soft free kicdk - then a 50 - and 'The bombers are 2 goals up and looking comfortable'.

There's quite a few names that people miss because of recency bias. Ron Branton played in the early 60s and won 3 straight B&Fs. Great player, shit team - not his fault. The centreline of Geddes, Zschech, Judkins played in 4 straight GFs from 1931-1934 - they were every bit as famous as Bourke...

Totally disagree. In my opinion the game should go back to 2 subs only. Interchange has changed the game from a contested ball game to a running, possession game. Yes, I'm an old man, but I'm right. :)

Aaargh - thought I might have a surprise entry. Mark Lee kicked 9 goals in one game - but his best possession game was (you guessed it) - a 29. He had a 55-hit out game, though. I wonder how many Ruckman have got a 55 and a 9.

Ninja'd! I knew I shouldn't have grabbed that extra glass of wine while typing......................................

Not sure - but unlikely to be big enough. An olympics aths track requires about 175 m from end to end. From what I can see, I don't think there is enough space at either end or even in width. (In Europe many soccer fields are completele surrounded by aths tracks, and they are usually wider...

Because they are not interested in the sport - they are interested in the product. They want more eyes on the product - so they need to produce more 'meaningful' games - championships, whatever. They want journos to spout rubbish that is pure click-bait, they want idiotic stats like Champion...

Young kid - first national team. Not sure he's even been to a World Juniors yet. He won the Aus (open) title this year.

Talou is one of my favourite athletes - she always shows up, she always produces. Just hasn't won a Worlds or Olympics gold.

I think you copied my post from the World Indoors.

Did a quick check - I think the Aussie girls in the 4x1 may have broken their National record (the same 4 set it a month ago).

I was actually surprised we entered a womens 4x4, because apart from Beer we had no depth. (Beer won the national champs by nearly 2 secs).
