    I have PMd Jenny asking for some relief before we come to blows.

    Good idea though, I am going to print a copy and straight to the pool room, right above my computer.

      Someone should come up with the definitive answer before this thread gets longer than the Tippett saga. So all you maths geeks out there how many possible combinations is there?

        Assuming recovery session involves 9 of the 22 who played firsts. Then its 22 choose 9, and then 9 factorial ways to arrange them left to right.

        Wolfram Alpha suggests that's 180,503,769,600 permutations. Should beat the Tippet thread easily.

          It isn't just the firsts so you would have to include all 45.

            You can automatically eliminate some players:
            Jesse
            LRT
            ROK
            Jude
            Shaw
            Macca
            Goodes
            Jetta
            Armstrong
            Rohan
            Sammy (shoulders)
            Tippett
            Rampe (hair)
            Membrey (Tattoos)
            Dick (I'm going on the hair)
            Brown (as above)

            So that is 29 players
            Morton & NikMal are a give away so 27 players
            Consensus seems the middle red to be Marty so 26
            Can we agree that Benny is too short to be in the photo? 25
            Mummy is very broad across the chest so 24 left to pick from...

              If we include the 22 in the firsts and the 16 in the reserves, then we have 38 players to choose from. The formula for this is:

              n P r = n! / (n-r)! with n = 38 and r = 9

              which comes to 5.91536639e+13 or 59,153,663,900,000. So if everyone in the world logged on to RWO and each had about 8,500 cracks at who the players are, without duplication, we should just about be there, which should get us pretty close the the length of the Tippett thread.

                I, for one, am very glad we are focusing on the pertinent and important issues leading up to the big grand final rematch.

                      So that noone comes to blows, I asked Jenny to get onto it for us, she says they haven't worked it out themselves, (relief) so will get onto it and will get some definitive answers for us.

                      Oh the relief.

                      ok, so where was I,

                      Mitch,
