I would love too hear from anyone the story behind Joffa getting droped on 99

[Persuader]

No small achievement in this injury riddled team.
Congratulations Dal. Long may you run.

Interesting to note that Dal was about our only young mid who did not balloon up with too much weight training......

[Bono]

The story behind Joffa getting dropped after 99 matches was that the person who's record he would have broken four matches later was on the StKFC Board, and didnt want his record overtaken by Joffa. Selfish. Simple as that. He played in the 2's at the G and was back in the team the next week.

I have no idea if that's actually true. But if it is, it provides a nice little snapshot to the club mindset that has only brought us one flag in 130-odd years of existence.

That is absolute rubbish.

Remember when they wouldn't play NDS in 2003?

...and when they eventually put him in, he was just awesome.

Apparently he did his hamstring two or three times, but was still left out even when fit. Amazing.

??So you expect us to believe that the Coach and selection committee of the time would go along with such a shallow reason.....for a record that is not even that big a deal in the first place?????

It wasnt even the record anyway it was the second most games.

Well I heard that Jim Watts has left his job at the AFL to join the StKilda Board and eventually become President so that he can force the Coach to select his son.

In fact I think I started that rumour earlier today so it must be true.

Congrats to Dal on that awesome achievement



Oh brother, any achievement/milestone games, WE SUCK AT THEM
don't count harves 350th, they owed him that.

Great rumour, I'd run with that one

Go for it!

Maybe it will be in the mainstream media soon?

Don't worry - Caroline Wilson will quote it as something she has received from her very reliable sources!!

No-one calls me reliable, not even my wife!

[Mooksy]

Does anyone get the feeling now this has been posted, Dal will get injured? Sanme thing happened earlier in the year with Kosi. Don't tempt fate people.

I rember goign to Sydney about 2003, we had just been beaten four games in a row, and Baker was challenging a suspension when that big log stood on his foot. I spoke to Craig Callaghan at training during the week, and he said they'd had sorted things out and were ready for Sydney. Told him I'd see him there. Not sure he made the trip.

I remember that night, Jason Blake was first thrown into the ruck, Nick Riewoldt kicked a great goal from the boundary at 50m.

Anyway, yes, Dal did play well that night.

We didn't win, but were right in it until about 10 mins to go.... a similiar story to this year. They blew us apart after that.

and Jack Thompson was the coach,
and wasnt Graham Kennedy the club president ?

it all sounds a bit like a movie plot ..

sheesh

Congrats on 100 , but honestly how many of those games have been below par for Dal's talent. I believe he could be as good as Judd , if he took on more people and had more shots at goal ! ( Iknow he gets tagged each week ,all good mid fielders do )
