Why is it that no FF or any goal scorer kick pass the 100+ goal threshhold nowadays?

When you go into a board (eg. the Brisbane board) there is a list of threads to open. Immediately above and below that list there is a button on the left hand side saying 'New Thread'. Click on that. From then on it's just like submitting a normal post except you have to also have to fill in the thread title.

Have had to unstick this one. A commandment from admin to have no more than 3 stickied threads...
Rightito! Good old Numpty Q here then please.
For those of us on the outside, can someone pls explain this entire Manangatang 3rds stuff?
Is this a satirical whoopseedoo fiction? A prologned insiders joke? A version of 'you know your a bigfooty lions supporter if you support the Manangatang 3rds initiation?
Please?

This saying or similar has been around for quite some time.
It is a reference to a demeaning nature of the quality or lack thereof of one person's or one team's ability......hence the thirds reference.
It does not go with any set club or anything like that......other obscure small clubs/towns names have also been used as well as Manangatang at different times.......Nar Nar Goon thirds, Tallygaroopna thirds etc.
I stand to be corrected, but I think Manangatang is the original one though!
in response to all the bloody dream team questions much like we did with the round 12 or 13 last year and Jesse Smith - remember them?

If watching Sydney play football - Yes
If watching Jon Brown play football - Your normal!
Ta. Kinda vaguely remember. I was a regular reader but not registered back then I think. It does ring a bell, but not a major lightbulb.

The software that the forum is run on was recently updated to a newer version. I think it's quite new and has some problems. But I tick the box for it to log me in automatically every time and I've saved the link to the Lions Board as a favourite.

Is there any difference between a 'disposal' and a 'possession'?
Technically they mean different things, but it seems to me they are used interchangeably, and that when someone talks about a possession they are actually referring to a disposal.

Who counts the 1 per centers and how many people would it take to count them all?
Surely there would be a margin of error involved unless a number of people do the counting and the count is averaged.

Hey daniel, sorry I missed this one. I think that there are commercial organisations that provide those sort of detailed stats. I have done stats on behalf of local clubs before and it is best when you have at least 2 of you doing it - one calling and one noting. It is bloody hard and, to be frank, a pretty shitty job because you don't actually get to enjoy the footy. You do sit next to the coach though and so get to hear the sprays!

In the threads re our problems with the kick-ins, people are talking about 'the huddle' - what exactly does this mean in this context? I'm assuming it's a group of players in close proximity to each other but where? Near the goal square? 50 m line? Centre square? or does it change each time?
or have I completely misunderstood?

No, you got it. Rather than the players moving to different areas of the ground, they group in the centre corridor, normally at the defensive end of the centre square. They then "break" for different areas of the ground, hopefully catching the other side out and enabling quick movement of the ball out of defence.In the threads re our problems with the kick-ins, people are talking about 'the huddle' - what exactly does this mean in this context?
