Nah, 2017 is 1928.

I thought 1959 was 1928?

Nope....2017 is 2004.

That doesnt sound right.

And what would that make 2016?

With only 12 hours of it remaining, I can say with certainty that 2016 has been 2016. And I'm almost as certain that 2017 will be 2017.

Disappointed so far. Hopefully we can get a Jack with our last pick.

Faf fell for it hook line and sinker - Thought he was out thinking our boys and yet he it was he that got played That last wicket partnership was going along nicely as well Yeah an extended rest for his shoulder is really going to hurt Warner's chances today. :roll: I wonder how many first innings ...

If 'midfielder' is a position, how do you rank players in it? Centre clearances?

But if 'wing' is a position, I'd love to see anyone assert that Riewoldt wasn't the best player in that position in 2016.

So Champion Data thinks Jake Stringer is elite but at least one of Jack Steven and Nick Riewoldt is not.

Good point. Some clubs have to be above average.

I can't find a picture of the Gilbey's Gin training jumper but I found one of the Gilbey's Gin scoreboard at Moorabbin. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/0e/99/9b/0e999bac287bdf14ed798ae481a86d09.jpg For those who are not familiar with this old scoreboard the numbers next to A&B etc dow...

Were we the only club not to lose a player? I think Richo and his honesty has all players knowing where they stand and believing in their future making everyone happy and content. Another reason is the bottom 6 on our list have absolutely no trade value Isn't it awesome that we have to look at the ...

Clearly they're recruiting players to provide protection for Jack Steven.

So he's not Superman ... he's Liam Neeson?

Superman is Liam Neeson in disguise. So yes.

Here you go.

I'm in!

Excactamondo!

I wish they'd told Banger too.

It's one thing to correctly point out that there is no bar on any player being traded but another to suggest, solely on the basis that his brother is playing for us, that Lachie Weller will be traded by Fremantle. He's been pretty good for them without being outstanding, has shown flair and gets a ...

Do Martians have $$$$- can they sponsor us? or would they be regarded as ' off shore" resources... Well, if they have the capabilities for intergalactic travel, it would suggest they are pretty well resourced. I'm guessing what they could offer would be far more valuable than just plain old ca...

That it took until August to lose all hope of making the finals.

Hopefully they can climb back up to fifth.

This has nothing to do with look at me kosifantutti. It is an appropriate bump considering how well GWS and to a lesser extent GCS are going. Your behaviour for an ex mod is very surprising.

Would you mind clarifying just how well they're going?

My heart says I want St Kilda to win today but my head says otherwise. As a friendly reminder, the above is from the OP, which is pretty clear about wanting to win and wanting to not win at the same time. For a while this thread was an argument between people saying 'I agree with the OP!' and other...

Thirty tackles that quarter. Love it.

we wont get near pick 1 IMHO that doesnt mean we should not, where we can, maximise our opportunities at getting the highest selection we can That doesnt mean losing every week - its a balance and trade off. I've waded through all the defeated straw men in this thread and so far this is about as cl...

Still not that concerned about winning. I'd rather win five and lose the rest and be extremely competitive for three quarters in the other matches. Last year we pinched some wins but put in a few stinkers. We played so many matches of a good half but no more. There were quite a few of no better tha...
