Pat Garner, Matt Moody, Troy Selwood, Anthony Corrie, Cam Wood or Mitch Clark?, Jason Roe, ??? - no good with coaches.

Edit: FWIW I'm confident about three, two are gut feelings.

Thought it might have looked like Charmo in behind Corrie, can’t see his face.
 
Joel Tippett behind Corrie?
 
Random photo taken on 14/12/05. Seems like yesterday. Only significance of the date is that this was the day Zane Zakostelsky was born. 🤯

PS Elephant stamp to anyone who can name 7/7.

I think the 7th person is only slightly easier to name compared to that 8th person.

I wish
Fagans height but just 65 kg playing weight in the 70's.

Presently still Fagans height but carrying an extra 2 kg

Wow you’ve done well.

When I gave up swimming at the age of 19, 30 years ago now, I was (wait for it) 5’2” and weighed 70kg.
Within 6 months of giving it away, I grew 5-6 inches and then weighed in at 80kg and still kept myself very fit at the time.
I never grew anymore than that and I now weigh in at around the 84kg mark.

So you are obviously a pretty similar height to me but with my body type I could not imagine myself ever being able to get to 67kg.
 
That Victoria bias is certainly not a bygone thing... The fact the AFL and AFLW biggest awards night is the week of the GF, meaning any interstate GF team can't attend the awards night, is pretty clear evidence that we are a ways to go. It should be so obvious that it's not an okay outcome for a national competition.

At least for the men (not sure about the women fixture), surely it's time to move brownlow night to be the dead week before the finals. Just makes so much sense. Can be awards weekend where the whole competition comes together to appreciate the H&A season and its best players.

On one hand we have the AFL that wants to put the spotlight on northers states.
Solution only 4 games in the opening round featuring northern clubs.
We need to make them more relevant to traditional AFL states and boost the profile locally.
In my opinion they wrongly make a big deal about giving the opening round to the 4 northern teams. It won't make any difference.

Then on the other hand the AFL will most likely bow to the other 14 clubs in regard to academics.
No mention about the compensation picks adding to this year's big first round number.

Now we have the AFL online hookup of football heads yesterday.
It was good to see the author comparing the Suns to any Melbourne club, but he uses the Pies as an example.


Without doubt, the Northern Academies are an advantage. That’s exactly why they were set up. To give an advantage to those clubs who don’t have any other advantages.

Unlike power clubs down here. Collingwood for example get Nick Daicos at 4, Isaac Quaynor as an academy pick, post $6 million profit and they travel six times. I’m not picking on Collingwood; I could have picked most clubs down in Victoria. It’s just an example – and the reality.

And the moment the Suns, who have never played finals, have been a basket case, just sacked yet another coach, and had an Academy that has far from set the world on fire, land four kids in one draft…the world closes in. The Suns sell two games to Darwin for heaven’s sake.

They play a home game against Collingwood and 18,000 of the 22,000 there are Pies fans.

Clubs like GWS and Gold Coast don’t have father-sons and don’t have big crowds and have to travel 13 times.

Would it not be okay for them to have one advantage?

“I think the AFL could have spent their $1 million better,” he said on SEN.

“I think they wasted it this year by coming up with a new concocted McClelland Trophy competition that didn’t really work I don’t think, no one got into it and really didn’t care about it.

“The only winner was Melbourne who won the $1 million despite not reaching the Grand Final in either the men’s or women’s comp.”

looks worse now that we came 2nd and 1st in the two comps and didn't win the prize

Personally, i think it should go back to just a trophy if they want to keep some sort of tradition.

The AFLW comp is so compromised it just is not relevant or fair to be included in an overall Club Championship
Then you have the VFL that can't be counted for a similar reason plus they have non-AFL sides.

The men get $1 million for winning the premiership.
So just give the AFLW Premiers $500k and the same amount to the VFL Premiers.
That way it is fair all-round money wise.

The main reason the VFL can't be counted is because you've just banned WA and SA clubs from winning it.
