Yep, it was Everitt. He was at St Kilda in those days and later played with Crawford at Hawthorn.

Today's additions are Jarrod Harbrow (GC) retiring plus new contracts not offered (and probably the end of their career) to Jake Carlisle (St Kilda) and Reece Conca (Fremantle). edit: David Zaharakis (Essendon) looks goneski at well.

No, but he did play with Crawf!

You won't believe how close you are!

Quick trivia question (no Googling!!): Nathan Buckley (Brisbane) won the first Rising Star Award in 1993, but who was the first player nominated in that season - ie. the Round 1 nominee?

Collingwood Not Necessary.

Same goes for Max, jnrmac. I get so frustrated with his veer to the right, hook to the left habit.

Just had a look at the clip on Youtube and you're correct that it was in play. Nevertheless, it was still a dirty and violent round-arm swipe to the neck/head region.

#13 winning the Brownlow in the year of our 13th Premiership has a nice symmetry.

So far, my Demon mate and the first responder to this thread.

What Grinter did was indefensible. It was a dirty, unprovoked coat-hanger behind the play that caused serious damage to Wallace.

I was having this discussion with another Demon fan today and would like to pose these two questions to Demonlanders. 1. Would you rather watch Melbourne a) lose the Grand Final in person at the MCG or b) win it on TV? 2. What is worse - a) losing a Preliminary Final or b) losing a Grand Final? My answers were b) in both cases, whereas his were the opposite for both. This could be a poll if I had any idea how to do that.

This is how the world will end, dd. Not with a bang nor a whimper but because of selfishness and stupidity. With apologies to T. S.

Other retirees to add to the list are Cale Hooker (Essendon), Zac Smith, Jordan Murdoch & Jack Hombsch (all GC) and Shaun Burgoyne (Hawthorn).

I haven't had a drink for years but, if we win the flag, I'll probably have two beers and be so drunk I'll stand outside @jnrmac's house with a megaphone and serenade him all night with "A Grand Old Flag" interspersed with bursts of "Kumbaya".

Levi Casboult (Carlton) has retired as has David Astbury (Richmond).

Pfffft. They can't even spell Bradshaw properly.

That would pee everybody off.

It was actually against Carlton at Princes Park in Round 20, 1981. The 1990 game was Neale's last when all four Daniher brothers played together. edit: Responding to Jumbo Returns. How dare somebody else post while I'm composing mine!

I think t_u is saying that Freo's only loss was to Hawthorn.

Smith good enough. May better. May in for Smith.

Here's a couple for your consideration:

Comments by supporters on a website have absolutely no bearing on how the team performs.

It's common human decency and respect for others. Has not Australia always prided itself on the maxim of a fair go for everybody?
