Awkward photo post draft for Josh Battle who was flown up to Sydney as a first round draft prospect and then unceremoniously slid to pick 39 on the second night of drafting. Good chance there were no saints jumpers on hand given they didn’t have any draft picks in the first round.
Interesting also that this was in that brief window during late 2016 where St. Kilda were with BLK before they folded and were replaced by Xblades for the season proper.

2016 didn't have 2 nights worth of drafting.

That was introduced in 2018.

From fourth on the ladder Essendon won the 1965 premiership. This iconic photo is captain Ken Fraser on the dias with a dejected Darrel Baldock looking on.
Baldock quote post match; "Bombers had the better of us all season, but we had our chances today, we'll learn from this!".
NB. Saints won both their H&A matches v Bombers in 1966 and thumped them by 42pts in the preliminary final on their way to winning the flag - their one and only thus far...

New draftees always need to get in the gym.

Maybe 50 for the season? But still odd if they put career games but season goals

Everything is wrong.

Sav was 29.
It was his 201st game, Round 3 2003 vs Brisbane.
And he had kicked 613 goals.

photo with a puma logo photoshopped over a xblades logo on the guernsey. Every other jersey was from 2021 and all the giants cards have 2021 photos, but the cover still has a 2020 photo.

And that's why they don't serve well-done burgers at the footy anymore.

About a dozen?
Happened in 1982, from TWTSTW on YouTube.
