What's in a name?

I am reliably advised thatĀ St Kilda's Brad Hill and Brad Crouch have broken the AFL record for most disposals by players calledĀ Brad for a team in an individual game - they both had 26 disposals last weekend combining for 52 in total. This breaks the previous record of 50 held by our Brad Green (32) and Brad Miller (18) in round 13 2004.

As additional useless information,Ā the record by two players with the same name is held by Collingwood's Tony Shaw (50) and Tony Francis (30) who combined for 80 disposals in roundĀ 5 1991. And,Ā St KildaĀ holds the record for most disposals by one first name for a team in the same game with 151 held by six Jacks in Rd 16 2017 being Billings (19), Lonie (18), Newnes (25), Sinclair (28), Steele (28) and Steven (33).Ā 

I don't know about you, but this is the essential content I come toĀ Demonland for.

    You'd think we might have a few shots at most disposals by two players named ChristianĀ

    Christian Petracca 36 + Christian Salem 23 = 59 last weekend.

    Ā We would surely own that record already.Ā  Even in the most recent game they had 59 combined.

    Michael Christian picked up a stat too when he fined Jetts.

    On the contrary, he'll be the leader of every stat possible for people called Gryan. Probably forever.

    For a club like ours, that seems incongruent who we are.?
    I'd be more content if we had set the record for most possessions by two players called Damien.?

    In the 1980s vs Collingwood we had Lyon opposed to Christian withĀ the result the same as in Roman times.

    With a combined 77 possessions, our two Christian's got very close to the record of 80Ā held by two players with the same first name.

    Dunno. No Pagans have won it. Plenty of heathens have.

    This could be the year for the Christians to set a new personal best.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
