Will27 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Here is a thread from Bigfooty.com started in 2010 It asks the question: Bottom 4 and Top 4 teams in 3 years time Interesting how many people picked Melbourne in their top 4 Also, how many people had SYdney and Port Adelaide in their bottom 4 http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/bottom-4-and-top-4-teams-in-3-years.713849/ Yep, an interesting thread. Speaking of Melbourne, what would guys consider to be a pass mark for next year? I reckon 6 wins would be the minimum for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Who do you guys like for tonight's Brownlow? I'm tipping Selwood, Robbie Gray and Fyfe 3rd. Speaking of the Brownlow, Joey Kennedy is already a winner. What a stunner. Edited September 22, 2014 by Will27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-22/jack-escapes-with-fine Didn't think too much to of this when it happened other than "yeah, they might take a look at that on Monday" good to see that was the worst of it and nobody's facing a stint this week. Thought Buddy might be given a tap on the shoulder for "engaging in rough conduct" when Scott Thompson was trying to bum him, glad to see it wasn't even looked at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Brownlow roughy: Spiderman. Almost identical stats to Selwood and Fyfe. Had Tom Rockliff played every game this year, I'd put a tenner on him as the ultra-outside chance. Going to be close I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Mr Smith and BookMan What was hannerberry's middle and end of the year like? Just polled 10 votes in the last 3 rounds He went missing I thought.. Injured as well if I'm not mistaken. Buddy might have this if he polls well in the last 5 games... Don't discount Spiderman either.. Joey Kennedy's doing well but did miss the last 2 games.. Ablett finished on 22.. Scary to think what he would've polled if he wasn't injured..

Radar501 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Matty Priddis, is a very worthy and humble BROWNLOW winner......a running midfielder with a mop of blonde curly hair would attract the ump's attention. Nadia Coppolino-Bartel, this year's BREAST AND FAIREST winner, certainly attracted my attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar501 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Josh Hunt has hung up his boots after 212 gritty games of AFL footy (198 with Geelong and 14 with GWS). At 185cm and 102kg, that gave him a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 29.8, classified as overweight and marginally short of obese. Under 18.5 - underweight and possibly malnourished 18.5 to 24.9 - healthy weight range for young and middle-aged adults 25.0 to 29.9 - overweight Over 30 - obese BMI does not differentiate between body fat and muscle mass, which means there are some exceptions to the BMI guidelines. Clearly, Hunt is one of those exceptions. Hunt's challenge, now that he has retired as an elite athlete, is to maintain training and keep the fat off. Many have failed before him, and legitimately found themselves in the obese classification. Edited September 23, 2014 by Radar501 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How different it was then! http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-23/gsbfootyflashback2209/5761164?WT.mc_id=newsmail Nice one. Some differences i noticed: Crowd drinking in the outer using actual beer glasses Crowd smoking a pipe Streamers on ground Running through a very very very small remain of a banner. Not like these mammoth ones now No Advertising hoardings on the fence. Which is an actual metal pole fence. Only the AFL Record could publish the players numbers. (I never knew they changed from week to week) Most players have their socks pulled up Jumpers are tucked into the shorts Goal umpires moved a lot more. Looked like human not mechanical robots. The behind poles are much shorter than they are today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 John Longmire wins AFL Coaches' Association coach of the year award Sydney coach John Longmire had a small win over his long-time friend and Hawthorn counterpart Alastair Clarkson before the AFL grand final. Longmire beat Clarkson by one vote to take out the Allan Jeans Coach of the Year award. The honour was announced on Tuesday night at the AFL Coaches Association Awards evening. Swans chief executive Andrew Ireland praised Longmire after a brilliant season that culminates in an appearance in Saturday's grand final. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-23/john-longmire-wins-afl-coaches-award/5764432?section=sport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you expecting/hoping for Alex? I hope for a spot in the 8....realistically with the amount of money there thrown at the coaching and admin staff the expected shake up of the playing list and expecting to land several catch of the day fish ( dont laugh we have even at our worse been able to land Daws and Clarke) anything less than 9 wins i would see as a failure. Roos history on recruiting is a good one, there is no 5 year plan at Deeland, were not after youth were not rebuilding the members are bleeding and we cant go another 21 years in the cellar before making the finals again.
