Eddie Ford made his VFL debut for Richmond in 1942 - he played a game each against Melbourne and Collingwood in the season. He then played two games in 1943 - a game each against Melbourne and Collingwood. Those four games were his entire career.

 

[HTT]

Our 2nd half today ruined one
Mabior Chol's first 3 games were as follows
113pt loss
33pt loss
33pt win

For a long time today a 113pt win in his 4th wasn't impossible.

that david mackay has played 210 odd games and we have won zero premierships in that time. amazing!

 

[situationz]

The last two premiers had almost the exact same for and against tally, if you count finals matches:
Richmond 2017: 2294-1851
West Coast 2018: 2298-1856

that david mackay has played 210 odd games and we have won zero premierships in that time. amazing!

There wouldn't be too many that you could say have played anywhere near that without ever really anyone noticing them.

Im fairness though, I think your long time disciplined game plan is conjucive to such things, you can swap someone and no one will know.

Tyson Stengle is about to make his debut for Adelaide.
Former AFL player, Tyson Stenglein, also played for the Adelaide Crows from 1999-2004.

 

[Wallaby]

Maybe they should call him Stengle-out.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Maybe they should call him Stengle-out.

Not bad... was pronounced Steng-line though.

 

[Billy ray]

Inept commentators will call him stenglein

 

[radiojake]

Inept commentators will call him stenglein

Dwayne will bring up Port somehow

1992 Allover again



West Coast after playing in a Grand Final the year before to a Victorian powerhouse, loses by a point at home to Collingwood. Goalless in the last qtr

Weagles will hope history repeats as they went on to win the flag ( I don't ) because it was against........Geelong.



Goalless in the last qtt last night and loses by a point lol

 

[Macpotata]

More clearer


1991 Eagles Play Victorian Powerhouse in the Granny and lose
1992 - lose at home by a point to Collingwood after having a lead. Goalless last qtr ( also had 4 behinds tall at ht )
kick two goals in the 3rd quarter, their only two of the half


2018 - Eagles Play Victorian Powerhouse in the Granny and win
2019 - lose at home by a point to Collingwood after having a lead. Goalless last qtr ( ( also had 4 behinds tall at ht )
kick two goals in the 3rd quarter, their only two of the half


2019 win the granny against Geelong? or lose it?



edited - both times the pies went into the clash with the eagles coming off a loss by under a goal at the MCG.


*en hell.

Nathan Hrovat being on an AFL list in 2019

 

[juice t]

Collingwood have kicked 11 goals in their last 3 games against West Coast

 

[juice t]

Both games this afternoon finished 87-60

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Both games this afternoon finished 87-60

On the 27th date in July no less.

 

[Macpotata]

I knew there was something eery similar with the Eagles game against North yesterday.


2007 as reigning Premiers The Eagles played the Roos at home and kicked............


18.13 = 121 points


First quarter score was WCE 5.4 to 3.1 ( North kicked 3.1 in the opening term yesterday )

Half time Eagles had 8 goals kicked, as they did yesterday


And at 3 quarter time North had 7 goals kicked for the game, as they did yesterday.


Their spearhead in 2007 Q. Lynch had 7 scoring shots for 3.4

JK Had 7 scoring shots for 7 goals



Could be like 2007 where an interstate side unexpectedly made the GF ( Port ) and lost to Geelong. Maybe the Lions make it and lose to us this year.

 

[Harris Specter]

Lions won by 27 points yesterday on the 27th of July. Was also Gardiner's 100th game (who wears #27)

 

[Scotland]

Barring injury Shane Edwards should become the 250th player to play 250 games.

 

[HTT]

Richmond 2017 v 2019
After R18

Second Time this year Carlton has played in a game that finished at 99-75. Both were against "Coast" teams - Gold Coast and now West Coast.
