It's total revisionism to say that Hombsch was playing terrible football last year. The second Showdown aside, he performed very solidly last year, albeit not quite at the level he had been pre injury.

Really? Go have a look at the Essendon game a again, to name just one! Worst defensive game I have ever seen!

Hombsch was a corpse last year. Total shadow of his former self. This was said at the time as well.

From October last year:

We have no players in the top 300 in the AFL if you evaluate them by how we’ve played Essendon the last couple of years.

Watch Trent McKenzie in his one game for the club against Essendon last year. He got another year?

Yeah McKenzie's game was Essendon was terrible. I still think he's on the right track in the SANFL and hope he gets another chance as a swingman.
 
McKenzie was the wrong match up for Stringer to begin with. That was only ever going to go one way.

The AFL’s everywhere man, Gold Coast’s Jack Hombsch, will enter new territory on Saturday when he extends his record as the footballer to play at the most number of venues in history.

Riverway Stadium in Townsville will become the latest official AFL venue when the Suns host St Kilda in a Saturday afternoon clash.

For Hombsch, a former Port Adelaide and GWS Giants utility, it will be ground No.21 - two more venues than any other player in VFL/AFL history.

Hombsch went out in front as the solitary record holder last year - going past 300-gamers Paul Salmon and Robert Harvey - when playing for the Power at MARS Stadium in Ballarat in a clash against Western Bulldogs.

If you include SANFL grounds too then he's way ahead.
 
There are 16 venues that hosted AFL games in 2018 and also will host games in 2019 and Jack has played on all of them. The other 5 are;
Townsville
Blacktown
Stadium Australia at Sydney Olympic Park
Subiaco
Footy Park

He would have had the record even when he was at Port?

Yes he had 19 when he played in Ballart in 2017 which was equal record with Salmon and Robert Harvey. His 20th ground was Perth Stadium last year with the Suns.

If he debuted Rd 1 for the Suns last year he would have played in Cairns in the cyclone. GC have replaced Cairns with Townsville this year.

I wrote something about it in the AFL general thread about 90 minutes ago, but Jack''s 111th game is at his 21st venue whereas Alan Didak played at 6 venues over 13 years, 216 games, 135 at the MCG, 44 at Docklands and 37 in the 4 other major capital cities but ZERO at the SCG..

Botique stadiums Jack has played at with less than 15k capacity or less than 15k rock up.

Darwin, Alice Springs, Launceston, Hobart, Ballarat Canberra, Blacktown, Townsville and Shanghai. And in playing home games at Sydney Showgrounds and Carrara and he will probably finish his career as having played in front of the smallest crowd average, for a player who has played at least 100 V/AFL games since crowd stats were kept.

Based on those statistics, I guess it's safe to say that Didak played at more nightclub venues than AFL ones.

Reasonable premise for a joke, but to be a killjoy I'd be a surprised if there was any on bigfooty let alone in the AFL players who'd been to less than six nightclubs :)
 
Jack has retired.

No more questions from cRowie about opal mining at Woomera.
