The best 13
Joe Murdoch 180 games - 1927-1933
Astute post as usual, Spook. Never thought of it like that, that he might have cost us Butler, but it all makes sense. We DID stand by him through a tumultuous time for he and family; re-contracted him although not Dan, when clearly Dan was a '17 Flag hero and much more our type of player with his speed.
Altogether regrettable. He seems a little ungrateful to me overall, but I accept it's his career. So good luck to him, but people should remember that the Aints are building again. Haven't they beaten us well in 2/3 last home games with Butler winning the BOG award this year.
But they didn't beat us in the final, albeit missing 3 of their best they did get closer than Geelol. People need to remember this if that fate is reversed in 2021.
[Also wondering if we either have, or we're cultivating a bit of a 'special' relationship with the Saints? I'm thinking past players we have traded with them and the Frawley link. Just seems to be rather in their favour lately].
Prob right zips.
Although Fabulous Phil Egan was pretty good.
Dead set Cavalcade of duds in the #13
Petterd and Powell were handy
Egan was the man apart from the rest class wonderful player.
He's skilled and hits targets and the goals and he's a Rioli of Royal Rioli Blood....son of the Late Great Maurice, and gunning it as a junior as he has matured.
I'm going early on those bits and pieces alone and calling upgrade.
Saints will fast become the new Brisbane for me.
The media will spend 2021 circle jerking over them again.
Now I was glad to see them up and about for their fans and for Ratten cos he's a great bloke but now they can GAGF.
If MRJ, (who will go 3rd round or above in this draft IMO), is an upgrade on Higgo maybe Saints should've just offered a 4th rounder to get the Higgo deal done
We've often joked about that happening over the years players wanting to go to the team they supported as a kid after a couple of years. Rarely happens though!
