Unique Crows Record

[D_One]

Coming to this thread every day gives me a fair bit of joy D_One. They have nothing in response, and it proves what we say in every other thread. The Crows play to make the finals. They are excellent at it, as it's their number 1 goal year in year out.

I’m happy this thread makes you feel glad. Speaking of glad men, Ken Gladman played 49 games for Geelong from 1966 to 1970. Making him a contributor to the following.

Geelong (1961 to 1968) 7 Finals Series, 2 Grand Finals and 1 Flag
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

24 to go.

 

[Hawk Vision]

Speaking of old (and successful), Michael Tuck was the oldest player to play in a premiership when Hawthorn won the 1991 premiership. At the time he was 38 years and 96 days old.

In the years 1976,1978,1983,1986,1988,1989 and 1991 Tuck played in seven finals series resulting in seven premierships. In the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 another old fart called Simon Goodwin played in seven finals series resulting in zero premierships. This also includes zero Grand Final appearances.

Hawthorn (1987 to 1994) 8 Finals Series, 4 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

27 to go.

Dam we were good. This is a great thread D-one, there is nothing to like about the crows or their ****** supporters. Easily the most overrated club by their supporters in the league, year in year out.

Here's another one for you

Hawthorn (2008 to 2014) 7 Final Series, 7 Grand Finals and 7 Flags
Crows (2008 to 2014) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

The Hawks bit might not happen but the crows bit is a certainty

 

[D_One]

Im wondering D One whether you

a) have actually counted the time you have spent on this thread
b) Once you do, realise that you have wasted so much time on a topic that everyone else has given up on

Then you should realise you are coming over as a obsessed tool with nothing better to do.

I actually have plenty of time between correlation calculations, so if I wasn’t wasting my time on this thread I would simply be wasting it elsewhere. Probably on a thread bagging Port started by one of your fellow obsessed tool Camry Crows supporters friends.

Speaking of tools, Harry Toole played 59 games for Carlton between 1921 and 1925. He played in Carlton’s winning 1921 semi-final that knocked Collingwood out of the finals. This however did not affect Collingwood’s success in that era.

Collingwood (1915 to 1922) 8 Finals Series, 6 Grand Finals and 2 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

23 to go.

 

[D_One]

lol the old "haven't you got anything better to do with your time" retort

next you will be reeling out the Chewbacca defense. It does not make sense!

Speaking of Chewbacca, Bruce Doull was a very hairy guy and he also played 356 games for Carlton between 1969 and 1986. Affectionately known as the “Flying Doormat” he played in consecutive finals series in 1975 and 1976 without winning a final. This is similar to the marvellous achievement of the Camry Crows in 2007 and 2008. Bruce however won four flags while playing for Carlton including the 1979, 1981 and 1982 premierships, making him a valuable contributor to the following.

Carlton (1975 to 1982) 7 Finals Series, 3 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

22 to go.

 

[D_One]

Its not a retort its an observation. Im actually curious to read D Ones response. He seems to be wasting a huge amount of time on something most people have responded to and moved on.

Below is my retort from a few days ago:

Unlike Disturbed One I dont have the time to waste my time researching, so I will ask 3 questions that count:

1) Who has won more premierships, the Crows or Power
2) Who holds the record for the greatest GF defeat in VFL/AFL history?
3) Who has the winning record in finals between the two teams?

If the answer is Crows, Port, Crows. Then Deluded One anything else you write is your attempt to deflect your teams poor record compared to ours.

Funny thing is D One couldnt answer it.

The current number crunching process is only 12% complete so that gives me a bit of time to reduce the count by one.

1) The PAFC (est 1870) has won 33 more senior premierships than the AFC (est 1991)
2) It wasn’t any of the Camry Crows teams from 2001 to 2008 as I have checked the history books and the Camry Crows didn’t make the Grand Final in that period. Which is lucky as I would have had to have gone back and corrected a lot of my entries in this thread.
3) The PAFC (est 1870) has a winning SANFL/AFL finals record of over 60% and the Camry Crows finals record is nowhere near that high.

But I get where you are coming from as Port’s finals record faltered a bit between 1946 and 1953 when they only appeared in 3 Grand Finals for 1 Premiership. Meanwhile across the border Essendon had much more success during that period.

Essendon (1946 to 1953) 7 Finals Series, 6 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

21 to go.

 

[El_Scorcho]

The best part about this thread is definitely the segues into each of the 115.

With that said D_One, i'm going to throw up the name Johnson. I hope i've left you an easy segue, but if I haven't it will be even more fun.

 

[D_One]

D_One is a God. GREATEST THREAD EVER!!!

No I am not God; I am just a very naughty boy. The man most people refer to as God was the 1989 Norm Smith Medallist, Gary Ablett Snr. Ablett was selected in the “AFL Team of the Century" in 1996 with Norm Smith selected as coach. Norm Smith had many accolades mostly due to his fine coaching of Melbourne from 1952 to 1967.

Melbourne (1956 to 1963) 8 Finals Series, 5 Grand Finals and 4 Flags

[D_One]

I reckon it's improving with age. There's some absolute gold in this thread

Speaking of gold. Norm 'Hackenschmidt' Clark was a renowned junior sprinter winning many state gold medals before taking out the Stawell Gift in 1899. Also as a young man he played football for North Adelaide and was part of two premierships with them before moving to Carlton. He played for the Carlton between 1905 and 1912 participating in 8 finals series, five Grand Finals and winning three Premierships.

Carlton (1905 to 1912) 8 Finals Series, 5 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sympathy post

I had a bit of sympathy for Paul Medhurst when he hit the post in the 2008 Elimination Final. That was just before half time and instead of being 13 pts down Collingwood were 18 pts down. Fortunately Nick Maxwell scored a goal and both teams went off to the change rooms with Collingwood only 12 pts down

While the Collingwood boys revved themselves up during the half time break the Camry Crows decided to lube each other up with some KY-Jelly. Both teams ran out and Collingwood ravaged the Camry Crows like a bunch of Scout Masters at an under 12s Boy Scout jamboree. Resulting in the biggest finals loss by a SA team while hosting an interstate club.

Collingwood  4-3   7-6   14-9   19-11 (125)
Camry Crows  2-2   9-6   11-7   14-10 (94)

Speaking of scouts, Ron Barassi played football for the Preston Scouts before starting his VFL career with Melbourne. Joining in 1953 he played in 6 premierships with the Demons including the 1959, 1960 and 1964 flags making him a valuable contributor to the following.

Melbourne (1958 to 1965) 7 Finals Series, 4 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

18 to go.

 

[PowerKat]

only 18? I'm going to be a little sad when this comes to an end

 

[D_One]

lol at a sympathy post in a thread with 176 replies. Sure, D_One has a little under half of them, but that's still 90 odd replies.

176, hey. 176 is lucky for some and unlucky for others. For example, Port Adelaide played their 176th AFL game round 13 of 2004. This was against Fremantle at Subiaco where Port triumphed by 12 pts. The Camry Crows also played their 176th game against Fremantle at Subiaco. However the Camry Crows weren’t as lucky as they lost by a point. This was the first of three times that the Camry Crows have lost to Fremantle by a point.

Collingwood’s 176th VFL game was in round 13 of 1906, where they had a 32 pt victory over Essendon. However this is not surprising as this was at the beginning of a successful period for the Magpies.

Collingwood (1904 to 1911) 8 Finals Series, 3 Grand Finals and 1 Flag

[PortAdelaide]

17....stewiiieeeee deeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww

luv this thread, all gold young man

 

[D_One]

It's nonsensical

There are many nonsensical things happening out there. Like swapping draft picks #2 and #18 for an aging, injury-riddled, drug taking, philandering, binge drinking CHF as the Camry Crows did in the 2002 draft. Another would be to draft a CHF who is as coordinated as a drunken moose with your first round draft pick as the Camry Crows did at the end of 2006. Another nonsensical thing to do would be to play on as CHF after you have ruptured your kidney, especially after you have already played in two premierships. That is exactly what Essendon player Ted Leehane did in the 1950. Ted played for Essendon from 1942-43 and from 1946-50. After playing in the 1942 premiership his career was interrupted with his WWII service. In 1947he topped Essendon's goal kicking with 50 goals for the year. In 1948 he spent most of his time at centre half forward and played some of the best football of his career to finish second in the club's best and fairest award. His good form continued in 1949 when he was one of the Bombers' best grand final annihilation of Carlton. During the 1950 season Leehane ruptured a kidney but recovered sufficiently to be named as 19th man for the grand final against North Melbourne, which Essendon won. It proved to be the last of Ted Leehane's 83 VFL games, during the course of which he booted 140 goals.

[D_One]

And of those 90, 50 are having a crack at him! So that leaves 40, bored ,sad, lonely stats loving fans!
I can't be stuffed, bu I would reckon none of the responses he craves are up to his statistical standards

Number 40, hey. It’s not really a successful number. There have been some absolute bums who have worn the number 40 guernsey, especially for the Camry Crows. There was this guy called Stephen Schwerdt who once wore it. He played 25 games for 10 wins and never played in a final. Stephen Schwerdt has since moved on to become the Head Fitness Coach at the Camry Crows. This, no doubt, explains why the Camry Crows have fallen over again and again in September. Sudjai Cook also wore #40 for the Camry Crows. He played 7 games and handed the guernsey in pretty pristine condition to Chris Robertson. Without ever having to wash the guernsey Robertson handed it on Chris Ladhams. Ladhams played in 54 games for the Camry Crows including 3 finals where he lost most of them.

Ladhams then passed the guernsey on to Jason Porplyzia and when his shoulders have allowed him to he has played 44 games for the Camry Crows. When not claiming dubious goals Porper has managed to play in 3 finals and just like Ladhams has lost most of them.

But not all players wearing number 40 are complete and utter abject failure like those who have worn the #40 Camry Crows guernsey. Carlton has had several stand-out players who have worn the number 40 guernsey but only one has played in a premiership while wearing the jumper. That honour goes to Scott Howell who was part of Carlton’s victorious 1981 premiership team. A third generation Carlton player he is a valuable contributor to the following.

Carlton (1979 to 1986) 8 Finals Series, 4 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

I didn't realise you were gay with D-One. Why don't you kiss him if you love him so much?

There is NOTHING funny about this thread

So is you homosexual manlove for D_one!

EDIT: haha, I just saw that your signature says '1870'. Is that the last time you had a BATH? I know what you Port Adelaide supporters are like! You've been exposed, you goose.

It’s good to see that homophobia is alive and well amongst Camry Crow supporters. And this coming from a state that was first to legalise homosexuality under Premier Don Dunstan whilst he was wearing pink hot pants to parliament.

Now on a completely unrelated subject, Don Scott played 302 games for Hawthorn between 1967 and 1981, including the 1971, 1976 and 1978 premierships. The last two as captain.

After a very successful Hawthorn period which came to and end in 1996, Hawthorn looked like merging with Melbourne. Scott founded the Operation Payback campaign, which was ultimately successful in its efforts to prevent Hawthorn from merging. Scott rallied many supporters and former Hawthorn players in opposition to the proposed Melbourne Hawks club's formation.

to the above and this thread.

 

[D_One]

have to agree. Very amusing thread, even if it is a the Crows expense.

But to be bad at Finals you do have to make them.

A downside is the wasted opportunites. We should be the best AFL era side in the comp. Two flags for some clubs would be great. D_one has shown for the AFC it is barely a pass mark.

Pass mark??? If the Camry Crows had a mid fielder who could pass and a forward who could mark in the last eight years, then you may have been classified as a bare pass mark. Sorry Geoffa but winning just 4 out of 13 finals is a fail. Even Carlton have won 50% of their finals in this period. This consists of one win and one loss.
But what a win it was.

Elim Final 2001    
Carlton		5-4	10-8	12-12	17-16	118	
Adelaide	1-6	3-6	5-10	6-14	50

It’s rare for Carlton to win less than 50% of their finals in an eight year period. For example they won 56% of their finals between 1981 and 1988.

Carlton (1981 to 1988) 8 Finals Series, 4 Grand Finals and 3 Flags
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

Actually D_one our overall finals record is 12-12, 50% being a bare pass. Compared to Ports being 8-9, FAIL.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Under Malcolm Blight i'd say there probably hasn't been a better finals team in recent memory. He was a brilliant finals coach and knew exactly the right way to prepare players to win finals.

Neil Craig is a different kettle of fish.

 

[D_One]

I believe Powerkat is a female.

It’s a common mistake. I mistakenly thought Luke Jericho was a female when I first saw him play. But alas poor ol’ Luke was told go for a hard ball or get cut. As a consequence LJ was cut. Not all LJ’s have been soft. Les Jones was a hard player who played 59 games for Richmond including the 1944 Grand Final. Making him a valued contributor to the following:

Richmond (1937 to 1944) 7 Finals Series, 4 Grand Finals and 1 Flag
Camry Crows (2001 to 2008) 7 Finals Series, 0 Grand Finals and 0 Flags

12 to go.

Hi VD

not sure why you're here mate - I mean you are so sensitive about your beloved crows (or anything you really like) being criticised, that you should avoid upsetting yourself by staying away from threads such as this (if not Bay13 altogether)

how's things btw?

PS - thanks for the laugh. you have lifted this thread another rating for me. HUNDREDS!!

xxx

Believe me - he knows that

VD??? Isn’t that something you get from being too promiscuous? Speaking of promiscuity, Sam Kekovich, played a vital part in the Kangaroo's 1975 Premiership win. He does, to this day, hold the prestigious title of being the only premiership player in the club's history that was not present in the Premiership team photo.

You know it makes sense.

Edited ...coz I wantd to.
Please don't tell me you hit on him?

 

[D_One]

Yeah I know , I'm only hear because I am waiting (hoping) that Merv and Fred will let me back on to the main board sometime soon, and I don't want to leave my bedroom. Sorry for snapping at you, and accusing you of not bathing for HUNDREDS of years

I'm well thanks, hop you are too

Which Fred would that be? Obviously not Fred O'Shea or Fred Baring. These two Fred’s played together for Essendon between 1910 and 1912. Both played in the 1911 premiership team.
