On the back of a triumphant finals series some things have come to my attention that are worthy of mention. Feel free to add any you think should be called out.
* 3rd year player Marcus Bontempelli has won as many premierships as StKilda
* 1st year player Josh Dunkley has won more finals since 1982 than Richmond
* 2nd year player Zaine Cordy has won more finals since 2002 than Essendon
* 2nd year player Caleb Daniel had won more finals since 2001 than Carlton
* Lin Jong has won more finals than Brent Stanton and he missed the last 3 finals through injury.
It must suck playing for a little club!

Re: The casual boast thread
I couldn't think of any because apparently we are irrelevant.

Re: The casual boast thread
Jordan Roughead had 13 disposals & 5 marks in 4 Grand Final quarters. In 8 Grand Finals quarters (2014 & 2016) Gary Rohan has had 12 disposals & 5 marks. Roughead already has him covered!

Re: The casual boast thread
Liam has kicked more goals and played in more winning GFs than his dad did if you really want to sink the boot in. But Billy is a bulldog these days so forget I ever mentioned it. Originally Posted by bulldogtragic

Not much of a boast - even Fitzroy have won more finals than Richmond since 1982 Originally Posted by Greystache

Re: The casual boast thread
We have more premiership players (23) than any other club, and 20 more than the Giants.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
