Amazing statistic

[blues4flag]

Of the 43 players we had on our list (senior + rookies) during the 2002 season, only five of those remain (Thornton - 1st year rookie, Waite - 1st year, Fev, Houlihan and Wiggins).

Goes to show just how much our list has changed in the last six years, to have completely turned it over to that extent.

wow!

 

[Smell The Glove]

Doesnt mean its a good thing, which in this case, its not.

It is when we came dead firetrucking last in 2002.

It is when we came dead firetrucking last in 2002.

We came dead firetrucking last in 2006 as well, if you remember.

 

[SA Blue]

We came dead firetrucking last in 2006 as well, if you remember.

Which list would you prefer?

 

[blues4flag]

We came dead firetrucking last in 2006 as well, if you remember.

Due to the clearing out of the deadwood, and the deadwood being replaced by youngsters not ready for senior footy.

 

[walshy93]

no need to count wiggo, hasnt played many games....but WOW, i never knew that!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blue Dimension]

Wiggo will be the next. And i'd say it'll be sooner rather than later.

 

[Smell The Glove]

Which list would you prefer?

For me, its more of a case of which coach I'd prefer.

06 we were starting to come good, 02 we were on our way down. You cannot compare the two.

And Houlihan and Wiggins might find it hard to retain there position on the senior list past the 2008 season.

You clearly weren't coming good if you finished dead firetrucking last

it would be interesting to see how these figures compare to the other sides in the same period.

I guess your hating your name right now...

Anyhow the turn over of the list was essential. Players like McGrath, Sporn, Mott, Kenna, Bowyer, Teague & Deluca were embarrasing to see in a Carlton top. Now the culling of decent player will begin and our rise will come faster then you think

 

[blue_kings]

yeh that is a pretty amazing stat.

i have a mousepad that we got as a part of our blues memorabilia in 2002.
none of the players on it are around anymore...
whitnall, kouta, ratts, mckay, beaumont, campo...the survivors of the glory days...only to see the darkest follow

02 list is full of old and recycled players 06 is full of young kids i much prefer 06 but

 

[damage_inc07]

And Houlihan and Wiggins might find it hard to retain there position on the senior list past the 2008 season.

Wiggins - Absolutely
Houlihan - Come on, I'd almost put money on Houlihan playing in a GF for us before he's gone

When are we going to play in our Next Grand final?

Things might not gel together for us, we wont make finals in 08

Enjoy your drink from the half empty glass...

Mine is half full and we will make finals in '08...as long as we have a limited amount of injuries...and yes we will gel together...

 

[Beloved]

Mott, Kenna, Bowyer, Deluca - YES

McGrath & Teague - NO sepecially not Teague in his B&F year. Had balls.

Sporn - Just another kid who didn't make it, not an embarrassment
