I know this is off topic but there’s at least 10 bona fide stars in that 2007 RFC spoon team. Some off them not yet discovered, ie JR8 and Sheds.

North Melbourne has finished 9th on the ladder 15 times in the history of the game.
These years are 1907, 1908, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1946, 1951, 1965, 1971, 1989, 2010, 2011, 2018

Off topic:

This sig is embarrassing you mate. Ninth is only relevant in the modern day - because 9th is one spot outside of finals because we have a top 8.

The now-deceased Richmondth joke was born as we missed the finals by one spot relatively frequently. Who has missed the finals by one ladder position is the stat you're after here. If that happens to be North - great. But if not, well.... ugh.

we would have won the flag in 95 or 96 if lockett came

fu*k off ian collins and afl w***ers. seriously this league has shafted us so many times

All-Australian 2020: Selectors snub gun Richmond defensive pair Dylan Grimes and Nick Vlastuin as 12 debutants named

The 2020 All-Australian team has been announced and it is jam-packed with the stars of the game, with 12 new faces, but the reigning premiers Richmond have been slighted, the Tigers’ gun defensive duo dipping out.

Reigning premiers and current flag favourites Richmond could manage only one representative in this year’s All-Australian side – its lowest tally since 2014 – as Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield added to his already bulging CV when named captain of the team for the first time.

Dual premiership defenders Dylan Grimes and Nick Vlastuin were overlooked in favour of others, with Dustin Martin the only Tiger selected in the 2020 side.

It was the first time Richmond hasn’t had a defender in the AFL’s team of the year in six years with the selectors choosing five All-Australian debutants for the six starting backline roles, with another first-time player named on the bench.

In many ways, this changing of the guard was in keeping with the new look, jam-packed awards ceremony on Thursday night, with 12 of the 22 players named being new faces to the side.

Only seven players – Harris Andrews, Marcus Bontempelli, Dangerfield, Max Gawn, Tom Hawkins, Jack Macrae, Lachie Neale – retained their spots from last year, while Martin was back in the team again after being a controversial omission in 2019.

Geelong, Port Adelaide, West Coast and Western Bulldogs all had three representatives, with 11 clubs represented.
Dangerfield, 30, ticked off another first when he was named skipper of the team as he prepares to chase that elusive premiership medallion next month.

It’s yet another huge honour for the star Cat, who has never been full-time captain of an AFL side, but is acknowledged as one of the game’s most inspiring leaders.

Port Adelaide’s ex-captain Travis Boak was named Dangerfield’s vice-captain.
It was the eighth time Dangerfield has won an All-Australian blazer, including six successive selections, bringing him level with his teammate Gary Ablett Jr.

It also draws him closer to record holders Craig Bradley (Carlton), Stephen Kernahan (Carlton) and John Platten (Hawthorn), who were selected in 10 All-Australian teams during their illustrious careers.

Most of the pre-awards conjecture centred on the battle in defence with a host of players competing for available spots.

Andrews retained his 2019 fullback role, while Brad Sheppard (West Coast), Luke Ryan (Fremantle), Nick Haynes (Greater Western Sydney), Darcy Moore (Collingwood) and Darcy Byrne-Jones (Port Adelaide) were chosen for the first time.

Bulldog Caleb Daniel was also rewarded for his fine season with a spot on the bench.

Moore’s teammate Brayden Maynard was very stiff to miss out after an outstanding season for the Magpies, while Carlton’s Jacob Weitering and Essendon’s best and fairest Jordan Ridley were also in contention.

Last year‘s All-Australian captain Nat Fyfe was overlooked, while a four-game injury stint on the sidelines cost Scott Pendlebury another berth.

Melbourne’s ’Bluey’ Truscott Medallist Christian Petracca was acknowledged for his breakout season by winning a starting midfield position alongside Brownlow Medal favourite Lachie Neale, Boak and ruckman Nic Naitanui.

Demon Max Gawn was named on the bench as a backup to Naitanui

Power forwards Charlie Dixon and Tom Hawkins were chosen as the main spearheads, with mid-forwards Dangerfield, Martin and Marcus Bontempelli providing a mouth-watering attack.

The forward line was rounded out with Liam Ryan in the forward pocket, who beat St Kilda’s Dan Butler and Sydney’s Tom Papley for the small forward spot, despite marginally kicking fewer goals than the pair.

Cam Guthrie starts on the wing in his first All-Australian side, while fellow debutants Jack Steele (St Kilda) and Taylor Adams (Collingwood) won slots on the bench.

Butler looked like a lock midway through the season but could manage only three of his 27 goals in the last four matches.

West Coast’s Andrew Gaff, Geelong’s Sam Menegola and Mark Blicavs, and Brisbane’s Hugh McCluggage were among those unlucky to miss out, despite having strong seasons.

It is the tie that is the problem, it should have been leather or a piano tie

There was a couple of roars during the 2017 QF that run it pretty close.

No way, that prelim was something else, had a big night out before, when the first goal was kicked I swear the noise alone was about to make me pass out.

Butler's sidestep and goal in the last was one of the loudest too.

 

[hanshotfirst]

we had a good list at times when plough was coach but terry was a poor coach

I still think he's a decent game day coach, just a terrible developer of youth. Out of all the draft picks picked under Wallace , only deledio made it.

*not counting rance, cotchin, Edwards and Jack as they had most of their development under hardwick

 

[SavDog23]

Still can't believe Dusty didn't get AA in 2019

 

[Tigers Time]

So I’ve been so bored and I’ve resorted to reading other teams draft threads I have to say the Adelaide trade thread is takes the They are seriously debating how best to leverage both the Dogs and Swans first round draft picks. So their idea is to use their pick 1 to threaten them “We will bid on _________(insert academy kid) if you don’t trade us your first round selection”. But not only that they have to trade their first for shitty points picks in return.

I was speechless like was the Tippet punishment not bad enough?

One of the posters even said he’d/she’d sent every higher up from the club an email detailing everything one of the club higher ups even replied it’s like they don’t even realise it’s draft tampering. I mean the guy that replied from the crows was probably just placating a deranged fan but holy s**t this is nuts.

Geelong have the record for missing the finals by 1 spot.

[HTT]

The AA forward line is really just the bench for midfielders with a few token stay at home forwards, so the actual bench can be filled with outside runners

 

[JackNah_8]

Martin didn't even look excited about being named in the aa team lol
