Port Adelaide 3/3 Melbourne 1/2 Gold Coast 0/1 Greater Western Sydney 0/2 Why do you move up in 2 years time if you are losin...

Games won/games played against each other.

Its a different way of analyzing the ladder data.

Re: Maister ahead of Wilkes

I haven't heard much about Wilkes this season, He must be injured, but this Maister looks a lock for ff, Wilkes' old position. Thoughts? Good question. Same height and skills but Maister is a little quicker and a lot fitter. Feel that Wilkes has lost his spot to the new feller. Good upgrade though ...

Re: 20 Years Ago today .... anyone? anyone?

I was there too. I took along a friends' kid and tried to make him understand the significance of the day. Not sure if I succeeded. But he still barracks for The Saints though. Pinched a bit of turf and planted it in the front lawn.
Am a long way from there now, physically not spiritually.
