Does anybody know the record for the most hit the posts,  both team and individual.  Surely Cotrell x 3 must be close

Graeme Atkinson published a book in 1982 called Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Australian Rules Football But Couldn't Be Bothered Asking. It's certainly well out of date, but has the following records. I can't vouch for its accuracy :

Most posters by a team :
11 Footscray 6, Carlton 5 (1936)
10 Richmond 7, Fitzroy 3 (1924)
10 Collingwood 4, Melbourne 6 (1937)
9 Sth Melb 8, Geelong 1 (1920)

Most posters by Individuals :
7 V.Banbury (Footscray) vs Pt.Melb VFA 1912
4 A.Pannam (Coll) vs Geelong 1936
4 R.Rahilly (Fitz) vs St.Kilda 1911
4 K.Farmer (Nth. Adel) vs West Torrens SANFL 1930

Anyone else find 'Happy Weitering' a bit scary. :D  :D

Seriously, over multiple interviews he seemed absolutely thrilled with the result and the performance of some of the youngsters, especially Dean.
Even saw him having a deep and meaningful with Young.
Didn't look like someone the least bit interested in moving to another club.

Talk of Weitering wanting a trade, the club wanting to trade him and/or his alleged demoralising presence in our backline is just baseless "supporter" speculation.

Weitering hates losing games and one-on-one contests but he has never been one to hide his emotions when we win or when one of his teammates does well.

It was quite moving seeing Weiters and Crippa leading the team into the rooms last night  :'(

The long term forecast is for rain, which doesn't suit us. We've lost our last two at the MVG in inclement weather, but we also didn't have our ruckman. Hopefully, we can turn that around this time.

Rain is a disaster. Then again the hawthorn conditions were next level so as long as it not terrestrial rain should be ok

I reckon he along with Cripps and Walsh are loving the fact that they no longer are carrying the burden of the teams fortunes alone. The youngsters that have stepped up along with the new recruits have reinvigorated the rest.

Here's our recent form:
WWWWWWWLLWWWDW
Like it or not, we keep winning so it's a different narrative for us. No longer are we easy beats, we have to be at our best but so do they. This is our new reality.


And all the talk of us failuring when we are the hunted and favourite is another narrative the bew look blues are shutting down.

If we play to out best we win next week. simple as that. Cats only beat us if we have an off week imo. Play the way we have in the last month and we get the job done.
Our best beats anyone.
