Worse then Adelaide one from reports
Just make it a goal if it goes in off the post ffs. Totally ridiculous that we persist with this bollocks of an idea that little snicks on wood, padding, goal flags etc turn it into a behind. The game has way too many grey areas as is - this one could be tidied up with one quick little amendment to a stupid rule in the first place. At least trial the thing in the preseason games.
 
All I know is the things that mean most, finals and Premierships, Richmond and Dusty have dominated in that period.

You just would never even suspect that from AA selections.

How about this one....

From 2008 onwards(16 seasons,) largely in an 18 team comp, 4 separate players who have played for Geelong have Captained the AA team on 6 separate occasions. And players who have played for Geelong have quietly snuck in there as Vice-Captain on no fewer than 5 occasions. So Geelong make up under 6% of the teams in the AFL but provide 38% of the Captains and 31 % of the vice-captains.

Players who have played for Geelong AA leadership roles(Captain, Vice-Captain) 2008-current = 11(6 Captains, 5 Vice-Captains)

Players who never played at Geelong make up well over 90% of the playing population in the AFL. Those players have been selected as AA Captain or Vice-Captain on 21 occasions between them. 10 Captains, 11 Vice-Captains. The roughly 94% of the AFL playing population has been awarded an AA leadership position only twice as often as the other 6%(players who have played for Geelong.)

So the "played at Geelong" population of players is < 1/15th the size of the "not played at Geelong" population. But from that < 1/15th of the player population has come > 1/3rd of the AA leaders.

They really are a superior race down there at Geelong, only you would never know it watching them play finals.


Anyone else smell a Cat here? :)

Edit: Fellow dynasty teams from this era, Richmond and Hawthorn with a combined 7 Premierships to Geelong's 2, provided 2 Captains, no Vice-Captains. 3 Captains when you add in Lance Franklin who had moved to Sydney. Players who had played for the 2 clubs who won 7 flags combined: 3 Captains no Vice-Captains. Players who played for Geelong, with 2 Premierships, : 6 Captains, 5 Vice-Captains. This is corrupt beyond belief.
Surely a dead cat?!?
Those figures you have putty up there are outrageous...where is the Media on this?!?

And just have a wooden figure dressed in a white coat! (love the white coat bring back the white coat!) placed between the goal posts for tradition!

Of course it should be but there's only about half a dozen decent umpires out of the whole lot of them. Then add the AFL's insane rule changes and interpretations and bias towards certain clubs and hey presto, a load of shyte.
