Breust kicked 40 goals in a team that averages less than 50 inside fifties per game. Surely he is a top fifty player.

Couple in there being rewarded for being in good teams definitely.

It's clear the AFL are working with Fox Sports desperate to lift North supporters' morale.
Just saw 2001 replay North vs Essendon. Bombers came back from 69 points down to win.

It was the apex of their short lived period of dominance.

That's the moment you can point to when it all went downhill from there.

I remember that. I was peeved it broke the record we held when we came back from 63 points down vs St Kilda just a few years before.

Also remember that Saints game like it was yesterday too. I was angry at half time at how poorly we were playing that I swore I wasn't going to the Port Adelaide game at Footy Park the following week (I've would of gone anyway just chucking a tanty). Almost switched off too but so glad I didn't, what a come back!

Probably should of stuck with the tanty as we lost the following week to Port!

I remember the day like it was yesterday. VFL Park was sooooooo cold. And the first quarter and a half was not fun.
But... all's well that ends well. Could not speak for a couple of days.... Shouted myself hoarse.

Remember being there with 2 stkilda supporting workmates of my step father.
They were really hanging crap to the point I was in tears.
They left at 3/4 tine

I remember that game like yesterday despite being about 16 years old. I went with a friend who had never seen a game before and proceeded to hang shit on me the most of the first half. It made it even sweeter when I got to return the favour.

Only complaint Ive got about GMHBA ( Kardinia Park) was getting sucked into the short boundaries every time I played there.......

Seriously if youve never been out on the ground its bizarre how its shaped . No wonder teams get suffocated out there .
Is it an advantage , absolutely . It is unfair , I dont think so .

The ground size and shape is the least of it. The real problem is the draw. We have one Victorian side that get 9 games at their own stadium while other Victorian teams were forced to move to the G or Marvel.

Slobbo had Sic at #16 in his top 50.

Still can't believe he didn't get an AA guernsey.

I would have thought that by now I would have calmed down about Sicily getting shafted like he did.

But nope whenever I get reminded about it I still feel the red mist descending

That’s nothing - the interstate teams get to play 11 games a year at their home stadiums. What a farce!!
