Did You Know...?

[Baird]

That Essendon staff voted 4-2 to delist James Hird in 1991, but Sheedy wanted to keep him.

91 was his first year...did he have off field problems or something?

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

Did you know that Jon Dorotich was busted sitting in a car in a car park after training?

Don't think so, they just didn't think he was going to make it.

Why? $333k per year for a guy like Maxwell isn't that exorbitant.

In 2004? Yeah, nah.

 

[St 07]

Did you know, that since 1983, Fitzroy have made the finals more often than Richmond?

Hah, yeah I know. But has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

 

[Engimal]

(I remember reading this one somewhere so take it with a grain of salt...)

Brent Harvey has played 294 games since the 1999 Grand Final.
This is an all-time record for games played since a player's last premiership.

Did I read somewhere recently that Dustin Fletcher will go down in histroy as the only player to play against Fitzroy and at least one of the two expansion teams in GC and/or GWS. Might have played against all 3?

Mind you, he's that old he probably played against University as well....

I say that as a compliment. His longeivity is remarkable. Not to mention a great player.

Fletcher has a long list of unique achievements.

Played against Fitztroy, Brisbane Bears, Gold Coast and GWS.
Played in a 15, 16, 17 and 18 team competition.
Played with Tim and Jobe Watson plus Anthony, Darcy and Joe Daniher.
Played against F/S Abletts, Vineys, Brennans, Wallis', Liberatores...
Introduced a whole generation to Inspector Gadget.

Brent Guerra, after playing for 3 different clubs and 250 games, has never lost to Carlton. He's 15-0 against them.

 

[Gough]

Des Headland has joined luminaries such as Glenn Lazarus and Dougie Hawkins in running for a seat in WA on behalf Clive Palmer and his merry band of whack jobs.

Wowza

Arguable who was in the right given the current situation.

 

[Senatorguesty]

Geelong have never ever finished lower than 12th.

 

[cammo78]

Bees and dogs can smell fear.

 

[Bacon Warrior]

Had Dream Team been around in 1992, in Rd 7 Jason Dunstall would have registered a score of 243.

Off topic slightly, but apparently Andy Krakouer's effort in the 2010 WAFL grand final would've netted him 290 SC* points.

 

[Pie eyed]

What did he start doing wrong? Do you know?

He kept eating all the wraps.

 

[BC9_]

Thread is turning close to useless with irrelevant and crap posting.

 

[Scotland]

Off topic slightly, but apparently Andy Krakouer's effort in the 2010 WAFL grand final would've netted him 295 points.

290 SC points. 42 touches and 4 goals I think it was, wouldn't have cracked 200 in DT.

I stand corrected.

I may be wrong but the 2008 Geelong side holds the record for the highest average losing Margin in history in the regular season (Finals not included)

 

[Scotland]

I stand corrected.

I don't play SC, but from memory his score was so high because pretty much everything he did on the day was statistically good. Clearances, effective kicks, contested possessions etc. However they work it out, everything he touched turned to gold.

Incredible game to watch, Krakouer totally dominant and a 16 year old Stephen Coniglio booting 4 goals to get the mighty Swans over the line.

Brent Guerra, after playing for 3 different clubs and 250 games, has never lost to Carlton. He's 15-0 against them.

Not as amazing, but reminds me of Josh Carr, 10-0 wins against the Crows.

 

[Balance]

Last year in 2012, all the birds finished top of the ladder:

1 Hawks
2 Crows
3 Swans
4 Magpies
5 Eagles

Rest were non-birds.

Such an absurd record to hold for a team that made the GF!

 

[Forward Press]

Jack Darling has the record for most Champion Data ranking points in a recorded game - 308 for WA v SA at the 2008 U-16s.

 

[Maddo11]

Must have dominated.

Do you know what his stats were?
