Carlton took Boekhorst, a mature age recruit who nobody else was interested in and had publicly lambasted their own coach on twitter, with pick 19 lmao

The highest pick Adelaide have ever used was Laurence Angwin at pick 7 who didn't play a game and got booted out after one season. He was then given a lifeline by...

Carlton. Who sacked him after he burglarised his teammates house and turned up to training on pingers.

Only issue being Frawley was like 26 where as Murphy is 31 and will be on like a two year contract so will be even harder for the AFL to stretch it to something meaningful

Of course, but if the AFL wants it to happen then it'll happen. Logic and reason be damned!

Did Angwin steal stuff at Carlton too? I remember his stealing from a teammate at the Crows.

My memory was that he just got drunk as poo poo and crashed a bunch of cars. Managed to take down one of his teammates with him too, I forget the name, Karl something or something like that?

Yeah he broke into Karl Norman's house and stole some DVDs. He also apparently shoplifted from an AFL shop. The guy just loved to steal low-value goods

The Saints are intent on becoming the worst at everything.

quote:

ALAN Richardson is on the verge of the most unwanted of coaching records.

Should St Kilda lose – as expected – to a barnstorming West Coast on Saturday in Perth, the Saints coach will hold the equal-worst record of any coach to 100 games since 1967.

From 99 games coached to date, including one at Port Adelaide in 2013 as Ken Hinkley fell ill, Richardson has 34 wins to his name.

It is a tally he will share with Robert Shaw, who led Fitzroy and Adelaide from 1991-1995.

In VFL/AFL history, only Bill Stephens (25 wins at Fitzroy) and Jake Hale (33 at South Melbourne and Hawthorn) had lesser records from their first 100 matches, both men doing the bulk of their work in the 1950s and 1960s.

Michael Voss (38 wins) and Mark Harvey (41) both showed promise in their tenure but were cut short on, or just after notching the ton.

I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
Its kind of an unfair measure. Took over a list just as it was bottoming out hard then within two seasons had it winning more games then it lost, then even both ways the following year. Its been a really lovely year but that reason is only partially on the coach and acting like those first 2 years are his fault is misrepresentation really.

Bolton is going at 19 wins from 59 games (32.2%).

On the shorts for this strip and their away strip you can see a patch of colour where back pockets would be for some weird fuckin reason

Garlett likes painting his boots, has done so for all the games this year and even gave away his boots last week to a kid who should have gotten a free footy at the end of the game but someone else snatched it.
