Won't be long before the infamous Bomber Clifford live to air joke on the Sunday Footy Show post GF gets another re-run here.

Gerard Whateley and Kane might make a special level above Legend to elevate Kenny to

Ken "the God Particle" Hinkley it is then.

 

[edgie]

Remember that players were different shapes and sizes back then. Almost all players these days are lean and athletic whereas back then not everyone was a run all day athlete. The switch to drafting athletes over footballers really enabled the sort of tactics we see in today's game.

That, and if any players tried zoning and guarding space in front of you, you could just knock them in to next week, or month.

This notion that it was the wild west and no one ever got through games without losing players is garbage though.

 

[davesnothere]

So why isn’t John Cahill a legend?

4x Premierships
4x BnFs
Port captian
All Australian
10x Premierships as coach

Inaugural Port AFL coach, Port BnF named after him….

(Jock McHale Medal only really means something in the AFL era, otherwise Cahill should have 10 of them)

Completely different question unrelated to Jeza.

 

[Buget]

Completely different question unrelated to Jeza.

I respectfully disagree.

If Jeza is deemed a “legend” then so should Cahill.

But Cahill is deemed not a “legend” then neither should Jeza. As their achievements are very similar.

This is why the “legend” status in the hall of fame is devalued. There are too many “legends” and inductees are held to different standards.

Stephen Rowe on 5AA a few minutes ago, "That was Adelaide's best win of the year." LOL they've won 1 game .

 

[simba_]

i was listening to 5AA 10 mins before they crossed to our game and Rowe seriously said something close to "we're now 1-4 that's a great jumping off point"

It seems to get in if you're from "interstate" you basically have to be the GOAT of that state. If you're a Vic the bar is a bit lower. Ebert and I think Barrie Robran is in so that's probably their SA quota done.

Jumping off a bridge?

Embarrassing he’s still on the radio, people like him old man Cornes and KG give the state a bad rap.

Oleksandr Vasiliovych Jesaulenko, try saying after a couple of Jacks.

As Foghorn Leghorn used to say, "That boy's about as sharp as a bowling ball."

No one under 65 is listening to AM radio anyway

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

JACOB van Rooyen has secured his future as a Demon, putting pen to paper on a four-year contract extension with the club.
The 21-year-old, who was already locked in for next season, agreed to terms on Tuesday, with the new deal set to take his tenure through until at least the end of 2029.

I believe it is called the Patrick Cripps defence.

“I play football well, therefore you can’t suspend me”

I take extreme offence to this. I am old but not near 65!

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Most of em in there seem like no brainers but there's a few I'm not sure about.. KB, Darrel Baldock, Jezza, Royce hart?

Would jezza be in there if it wasn't for JEZAULENKO YOU BEAUTY

About 30 years ago (when I was in my early 20s), I was talking to a guy at the pub who was perhaps 10 or 15 years older than me....subject came up about who was better CHF - Carey or Hart.

Much to my my surprise he was fairly adamant that Hart was better.

I find it hard to imagine anyone listening to it at any age.
Over 65 doesn’t automatically make you stupid, look at Ford

They have a DAB station now and online.

But point about relevancy still valid.

The AFL points out O'Brien was "unfortunately delisted" at the end of last year and the player tackled was Ollie Hollands.


Anderson has to trot along to another case now, before the outcome of this one is handed down.

 

[dirty2]

He won't even make the HoF.

HOS (hall of shame)

 

[VineValerian]

Yeah he would.

4 premierships.
Jock McHale Medal.
2 All Australian
Carlton Captain.
Coach of 3 clubs.

The Mark part of Australian football folklore.

Builds a solid case overall.

State skipper.
Magpies leading goalkicker on a few occasions.

Agree he should be a Legend, but the HoF has strange criteria that they apply when deciding who to elevate. It's based on either your playing record or your coaching record, not both.

People like Fos, Jack, Oatey, Kerley et al were great coaches as well as excellent players, and if you look at their combined contribution of excellence in the sphere of their sport, the reasons for ranking them at the highest level are absolutely compelling.
