Is It Just Me ???
So when I'm driving, my car radio starts out at about Toby McLean; but if the air-con is on then it will sit anywhere from Tom Liberatore to Shane Biggs. Unless a good song comes on ... I tend to turn it up to Tory Dickson or even up to Caleb Daniel. Of course, if you get AC/DC, Midnight Oil or Cold Chisel then it will go all the way up to Liam Picken.
My beard trimmer sits at Lachie Hunter in winter and Marcus Bontempelli in summer.
All countdowns start at Easton Wood and finish at Matty Suckling ... but when the kids are doing the wrong thing, I give them until Mitch Wallis to get their butts into gear.
So ... Is it just me ??

Re: Is It Just Me ???
*!*!*!*! this is scary. Second it.
I was going to post this last week, but couldn't work out how to articulate it. For memory short cuts, I use players or former players. But for which is interesting. Recently I found myself trying to remember my car park on level Chris Grant, park Doug Hawkins. All my little things I use for memorising something are former and current players, parking time, references, settings, everything. I'm not sure I didn't go with EJ Whitten and Scott West though.

All the time.
It's how I taught my kids to count.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Strictly current players, or combo of both?

IIRC for twopups it went "Andrew Wills is number 1, Steve Kolyniuk is number 2, Chris Gramt is number 3, Simon Garlick is number 4, Bubba Smith is number 5, Brad Johnson is number 6, Scott West is number 7, Mitch Hahn is number 8, Paul Hudson is number 9 and Nathan Eagleton is number 10." so must have been around 99-00 and for herself it started with Farren Ray and Bob Murphy and had Daniel Cross in there but the rest were the same. Must have been 2005 or 06 I guess.
I'd recommend it as a system. It was a lot of fun.

What about Tatts numbers? Horse numbers? Hell if a guy is wearing number 3 in the Stawell Gift I'm on him.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Funny my dad used to do the bingo at sunshine RSL , I rolled up with a couple of mates (I am talking 1980s) we had a few beers and went into bingo , everytime my dad called out a number we called out the first VFL player to come to mind, didn't matter what team. We ended up getting booted out, but it was hilarious.

I went and saw Stephen Kings "IT" the other day and 27 came up a lot, even worked out when the first one was made (1990) I was 27 . The clown comes back every 27 years and the actor who plays Pennywise turned 27 during the movie, since then any thing I do that relates to picking numbers 27 is first off the cuff.
Nothing to do with footy I know but just found it a sign.

I had my 21st at DJ Evans in 1985.

Re: Is It Just Me ???
The last 4 numbers of my rarely used land line number at home (unless your from the Mumbai Admin Centre of the Australian Taxation Office warning me that I'm about to be arrested) are Premiership Year, Mr Football. 5403. A combination of probably our greatest player in our greatest ever year (pre 2016).
One of my previous work mobile numbers ended in 8507. Again, one of our greatest players in a great(ish) year.
