David Miller's new article - 9/4/03

177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

We match up pretty well to the 96 side. Although the 96 side had more champions, it fell away badly after the top 10.
I think the current side would loose against them though. Lockett was in 10 goal per game form in the mid nineties, and our backline is just the sort he would demolish. -
What a great article by David Miller. Good and interesting read and really enjoyed all the comparisons. Lot of effort and trouble David has gone to. I don't wish to dissect the article or the team but just express my appreciation of giving us a very good read and perhaps give us some hope and inspiration in the current team.
Thank you DavidLove those SwansComment

top article, i was wondering about the matchups of 96 vs now, and u have done it! the 96 spine is quite a lot stronger as compared to now... ie dunkley could outbody schauble as with roos to saddington as with stafford to ball as with mooney to stevens (normally at chf, goodes would be an even match imo) and plugger to hall... but as david has said the current team could run that team raggedC'mon Chels!Comment

A frightening thing about comparing this year to 96 is that (IIRC) we started the season with a thrashing by the Crows. I hope that isn't an omen!C'mon Chels!Comment

A more prominent omen perhaps is that Freo beat us by 29 points in Round 2 1996.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

i would be over the moon with a sydney vs north granny, most 'experts' have picked both of us for the bottom two, ie preseason...

Rating a team against the lions on their home turf ?
You are brave to say that on here.
Might get messy for the roos imo, even with a few players out for brissy.No.1 ticket holder of Nick Davis Fan Club...Comment
