We often hear about a player being the "oldest living premiership player" or other similar "last player alive". But I've often thought about the opposite: what is the oldest game (or team, or grand final winning team) that is still complete - all 20/21/22 players are still alive - or even...

Is anyone able to publish the full list of players? It's paywalled, which I think is poor form, given it's not journalism, but an AFL list.

Tom Hickey has just been traded to the Swans, his 4th state to play in: Qld (GC), Vic (St K), WA (WC) and now NSW (Syd). Swampy mentioned Jonathon Giles was listed in 4 states: SA (PORT) NSW (GWS) VIC (ESS) WA (WCE) but didn't play any AFL games while at PORT, but played SANFL for CD & Sturt...

Following on from the missing DOD thread, I thought that it might be useful to have a thread on all of the recent deaths of footballers listed. I have written a query that retrieves a list from WikiData, which is linked (sort of, semi manual, semi automated) from Wikipedia. So, obviously, it...

On Boxing Day Hawthorn announced the passing of 102 year old Ken Feltscheer on Christmas Day, leaving Carlton's Mac Wilson (103) and Keith Rae (100, Carlton & Richmond) as the only 2 confirmed living VFL player centurions. Wikipedia has Footscray's Jim Miller (no, not Frosty, 138 games...

I just checked the laws, and it's still there, rule 15.2.2b "the Player must bounce or touch the football on the ground at least once every 15 metres" I know that in reality, umps give you a bit more, and counting steps is easier than measuring distances. But watching Nic Nat's goal where he...

Baker had his 50% loading hanging over his head until Rd 20 this year (3 years since he decked Farmer)... if he had done this in Rd 21 instead of Rd 13, (and lets just assume he pleads the same way, 3 guilties and a not-guilty) he would have got just 6 weeks with 31 points left over. If it...

Journalism in WA hits a new low.:thumbsd::thumbsd: Lets Compare and contrast, shall we? Red bits to me seem to be plagiarised From the Sunday Times online site (perthnow) FREMANTLE veterans Shane Parker and Troy Cook today announced their retirements from AFL football. TROY COOK...

I know we're lucky to have it at all, after the huge server load it creates (or whatever excuse you used to dump it the other year), but please reorder the Forum Jump list. I don't want to have to scroll through 30 minor upper timbuktu leagues to get from the main board to the AFL team boards...

JL. Alfie. BNG. Bloody good cricketer. Made his debut at #3 in the famous 1 run loss to the Windies (McDermott's ending) in 92/93. Top scored in that run chase with 54. Steped up to open in the next test when Taylor was injured, but then lost his spot after a few more tests until...

With Symonds position safe, barring injury, it is likely that for the first time in a multi-test Ashes series since 1905... no Australian is going to make their Test debut. Considering all the talk about retirements, and "who's in next", this is pretty amazing. I thought it may have been a...

Ok, so Heritage Round = WAFL derby round. Just announced Round 9 will be Indigenous Round We play the Saints on Friday night that round. I reckon we can show the AFL what real impact indigenous players can have, rather than the Kev and Terry show on the following night. Michael Long...

Interesting article today about Cousins and the power of the Weagles in WA... But I love the following paragraph. I think that Duff needs to find a more ethical ethicists to use as a source! After Gardiner's car crash in July, Nisbett suggested Gardiner was suffering from depression...

Just so that Frank from Canning Vale can update the Flash Presentation... Solomon and Brock O'Brien for Bachar Houli and Kyle Reimers. Tarrant for Medhurst and Ben Reid. Polak, Jack Riewoldt and Tyson Goldsack for Ben Reid and Bachar Houli. Net result: Solomon, Tarrant, Collard, O'Brien...

Yes we played like crap. Yes, we are all hurting. But here is the records of the last few coaches to be sacked mid year. 2004: Ayres 4w 9l (2003: 14w 10l) 2004: Schwab 2w 9l, last game 74 point loss, last on ladder (2003: 12w 10l) 2002: Wallace 8w 12l 1d, last game 2 point loss, 13th...

Lets get out of the rule book and start talking footy again. Since the beginning of the 2005 season, 5 players have made their AFL debut for Freo. Duff, Peake, Crowley, Mundy and Johnson. All look like they could have long 100 game plus careers. Compared to the previous 2 years, we had...

We've had everything from vibrating wristwatches (used in Netball) to flashing lights to electrodes on the umps testicles (Connolly said this on Monday night on 9 News when talking to Confetti!) One possible solution would be to rig up the siren to AUTOMATICALLY sound when the clock reaches...

I think CC has regular interviews with Confetti and Hardie/Barra every Monday night. What I think we'll hear: Confetti/PR: "So do you think you deserve the 4 points" CC: "We've reviewed the game and focussed on how we got to our 5 goal lead, and then how we let them back into the game. It...

Must have been on Easter holidays. They are equal 3rd worst behind the cellar dwellers of Carlton and Rich for most 10 goal thrashings in the past 14 months. 10 goal losses (2005-2006) Adel 0 (GLM 31 points) Bris 4 Carl 5 Coll 4 Ess 1 Freo 0 (GLM 54) Gee 2 Haw 2 Roos 4 Melb 3...

I've heard that the Sydney Morning Herald will name the 3 players tomorrow. If they do, then the Age and West will follow suit. They are from Port, West Coast.... and Freo. Have to wait until tomorrow to see if it comes out. Shouldn't say any more until then. I don't have a batch of...

For those who are yet to wiki, the wikipedia is an online encylopedia that ANYONE can edit. That's right, even you. Find a topic, think it's wrong, needs more info, less confusion, then simply click edit and go for it. There is a Wikiproject AFL that is attempting to be the definitive...

Which of these events do you care less about?

Just having a look at the NRR section on the PC points table If you work out each team's average runs per wicket for vs against an interesting trend appears. State Points NRR R For W For R Agst W Agst Bat Avg Bowl Avg Vic 24 1.148 3277 104 3294 120 31.5 27.5 Qld 22 1.171 3601 102 3406...

Remove it from being a REQUIREMENT in the game. AFAIK cricket is the only game which an appeal needs to be made for a result to occur. Do football/soccer/rugby umps NEED the opposition to call for a foul? Do tennis players have to appeal for a ball to be called long? Do swimmers/runners...

Got the 2006 membership pack yesterday.. so who's groin is featured on the card? Over to you IP. You've got, ah, more experience looking in that direction. I'll concentrate on the glove and arm. Looking through the year book, I noticed that Pav, Elvis, Webster, Bomber's kid, JLo...

Times/dates out now. Germany is 6 hrs behind Perth, 8 behind the East coast. Games seem to start at 15:00, 18:00 or 21:00 in the group stage, 17:00 and 21:00 for the next rounds, 20:00 for the final. So in Aussie time that's 9pm, midnight and 3am Perth time or 11pm, 2am & 5am EST. Looking...

Hodge wore a baggy green when he was 12th man in England... will this kid with 2 FC games (and no catches!) get one too.. and do they get to keep it? Did Hodge present it to him before the game?

Ian Bell's is now 42.54 (you forgot he got a pair, not just a duck at the Oval) Secondly, using "dropping and dropping every innings" for Clarke is a bit misleading... it also applys to young Bell. You might want to reconsider using him in the comparison soon, as his is dropping quicker than a...

Just wondering what the post levels are for the titles under your name Bigfooty Newbie, Member, Veteran, Addict etc or are they done on other measures posts/day or length of membership, or $ donated etc. Did a search, but couldn't find it listed in the FAQ.
