Fritta and Turner

but did he meddle?

In apropos to the contents of BTs head My local coffee shop has put up a notice 'To keep prices low there will be a surcharge of 1.6% on efts'.

To be honest what caught my original attention was use of the words 'incredibly rare' at winning the GF. IMO 30% chance is not incredibly rare. What the stats also show is finishing on top gives you a very good chance of making the GF

I am indifferent to any differences at Freo

Um er wiki says other wise... "As of 2021, 65 minor premiers have won the VFL/AFL premiership, 43 have finished as runners-up, and 17 have finished third, failing to qualify for the grand final. The success rate of minor premiers winning the major premiership has reduced greatly since 1994, when the finals series was expanded to eight clubs and the benefits enjoyed by the minor premier in bye weeks and double-chances during the finals were reduced and diluted; since 1994, only nine minor premiers have gone on to win the premiership." 65 out of 125 is over 50% so it isnt rare. In recent times it has got harder but you can probably blame Port Adelaide for that.

Does your primary sources include 'Assault on Victoria Park' or 'The Long Retreat from Kardinia Park' both apparently by Jontee? In terms of boo-ya posing I would direct you to the Holy Grail where those chaps of a French persuasion said some unkind words on family members.

Is Henry Bucks still going? (I assume the MCC would have that tied up)

No, probably too intense and perhaps focused on his own performance. Not sure he would say the right thing at the right time. In the past I sometimes thought that Jack was playing his own game, and the team another. (if it was decided soley on courage and giving 100% then yes)

Is bought ok if he buys in to the eg team culture?

Must put those dates in my calendar.

I always thought that St Kilda got absolutely dudded by zoning in that some of their big names in 66 came from what was now Hawthorn territory. I think the argument that it is up to the club to nurture players has some merit, but it cannot be denied that the club had much more success when the draft came in place of zones. Leon Baker I think came from our zone and played in the 84 premiership for Essendon but from memory the Dons picked him up playing in Darwin. So I dont think too many from our country zone got away.

Except for 23 goals - 3rd on our goal kicking list

I wouldnt actually say zero but what happened to the mantra of recruits having to be aggressive contested ball players. Barely. If you consider talls the only one is Harrison Petty. (For another time but are we any good at drafting talls?)

I totally agree with this statement but remember it is our expectations that he has not lived up to. Weid didnt ask to be picked in the top 10. Our expectations and the clubs initial assessment are clearly wrong. For someone who has been in the system for so long I cannot comprehend how easily he is pushed off the ball.

I suppose when Ron went to Carlton he wasnt actually a kid.

I think we might have this....

Weed - an important goal ANB - wasted many opportunities

At least you can spell Brown. Should I be satisfied with that?

6. Jack Viney 5. Brayshaw 4. Petracca 3. Bayley Fritsch 2. Harry Petty 1. Rivers

ring the bell

Ellison at CHB?

In just about every sports bar in Legian

OOOhhhh yes it was... I will repeat this : I went to a pre season game and purchased a pie just before that start. By the time I finished eating the pie I came to the correct conclusion that the season was already over.

Only living things have possession..? What about my late fathers estate? He aint living but has possessions. And if a table is made out of a tree why not possess legs. I have a feeling that this post may lead to weighing ducks and witches

You are obviously speaking for yourself.....
