Yeah I liked that system aswell

*ahem*

17....

[Aerie]

Would be interesting to see how many games AFL teams have played against each other over the last 10 years.

At least with the SANFL it is even over a certain period of time (2 years).

[mighty_tiger_79]

disgraceful, but thats the way the afl wants it

17....

Yes Boon, as of next year this will be the case

[Hondo]

It's not as though it's 2 meetings in 3 seasons. It's still once a season. I'm not sure why this is a big deal? Would any of us have remembered this if we didn't read the article?

[Media Park]

Here's a better stat:

Sydney and St Kilda play their first daytime premiership match against each other since Round 11, 2004.

[Hondo]

Even if you did the draw the traditional way it is still theoretically possible for 2 sides to meet in round 1 in one season and round 17 the next.

What's that ... a 477 day break? Not THAT much less than 512 days.

[Bag The Points]

Absolute storm in a teacup. Some people will complain about anything.

[Adelaide Hawk]

People whinge about uneven draws, travel, etc, etc, but come Grand Final day and we usually see the two most deserving teams playing off for the flag.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I'm happy about not playing St Kilda for so long.........we struggle against them in the minor round.

[fish]

Sydney would be spewing they didn't get to play the Saints at the start of the season when they were playing crap.

[stan]

I just want to know who was the boring shit bag was that went looking for this?

Seriously we have 3 coaches out of work, a team that gets belted each week and some seriously good games of football this weekend. But yet lets bring up some crap like this awesome.

[Mythical Creature]

So the last time these played is when that Saint Schoolgirl met Gilbert for the first time? You could say that a fair bit has happened since the last time these sides have played!

Bollocks. There should be a 512 day break between every Sydney v St Kilda match.

Agreed, they play terrible boring footy.
(Hopefully that's enough mozzing to turn it into a shootout).
