Random Carlton Trivia...

[ferrisb]

I try to forget O'Reilly too. Happened about the same time as Mick Martyn which may be why he partially escapes scrutiny. IIRC, he hid behind the goal post once, probably trying to pretend he didn't play for us.

IIRC, you've got the wrong guy, Jab.

In fact, it's such a memorable event, I think The Beatles wrote a B-side about it...

Ah look at all the lonely players
Ah look at all the lonely players

A Morrell Digby, stands off the field
So defenders won't know that he's there,
But nobody cares.
Waits at the goalpost, all on his own
Thinking it's his best chance to score
It's starting to bore.
All the lonely players
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely players
Where do they all belong?

 

[Jabba73]

Ah, Diggers. How could I forget ...














... quite easily it seems.

Q. Pickett earned 15 Brownlow Votes in that first year. What was unusual about that (other than 15 votes in your first season being pretty special)?

Played every game?

In 1976 both field umps cast their own 3,2,1. So 15 is a little inflated....

It was the only year they had a 2, 4, 6 voting system??

 

[thylacine60]

Wonder why they haven't stuffed around with the voting for a while. They manage to ruin almost everything else.

Must I always have to explain the humour??

 

[thylacine60]

Not sure I underhand.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

I challenge you to get 15 votes in a 2, 4, 6 voting system....

 

[thylacine60]

2 + 4 + 6 + C. Judd = 15.

 

[ferrisb]

2 + 4 + 6 + C. Judd = 15.

Funniest bit of algebra I've seen in a long time.

T. 60 - 3 votes.

I think I remember Algebra......early 80's, small half forward.....his numbers just did not stack up and was delisted!

In 2000 the field umpires voted 3,2,1 as a group. Still, Woewoedin's 24 is a little inflated....

If had a dollar for every bad algebra joke I've heard, I'd have n dollars....

Such a disappointment, TL. When he was recruited, it was said he always maintained perfect balance.
