    Very true Yvonne - a rounding error at the end of the day!

      Very happy to stand corrected: I’ve also worked it out, there are 2,136 days from 30 September 2012 (the day after the 2012 GF) and 4 August 2018

        Has anyone got a rough idea of what the guernseys would sell for? Understanding it could go up and down but no idea what sort of range to expect. Would it be $2k+ for Buddys for example?

          I'm trying to think back to the centenary in 2009. I think they went for $300-$1000 mark. I've got feeling BBBBHs guernseydid well.

              Sorry AJ. I was VERY wrong.
              It seems that the game hasn't gone past you at all.

              Wow. If you can manage it, stay healthy for the next 10 years.

                  RWO gofundme? I would chip in for that.

                    +1 he looked good.

                    Should have rested Tippett for 6 years and he might have come back just in time to take over from Buddy’s contract when it expires

                      Yeah, not on his salary.

                          Thanks mcs, I hadn't seen it. A good read, and I could almost hear the voice of Shaw!

                            Every time this thread comes back to life I am almost afraid to look in case it is bad news.
                            I agree with dimelb with it being a good read.

                              Yep, I was the same Yvonne.
                              Probably should retire this thread until he gets injured again.
                              Hopefully retired for good.

                                I was hoping not to have to post on this thread but after today I’ve been giving this some quick objective thought. This might be an unpopular suggestion but if it’s an ACL for AJ (which is looks like) in his “GOOD” knee, how about a LARS graft and another rookie contract.

                                Back in potentially 3 months - like David Rodan - so realistically in time for pre-season.
                                If it goes well, he shouldn’t loose too much match fitness.

                                If AJ wants a final crack, a LARS graft could give him minimal time off (essentially 2-5 games, depending on finals). If he did get back, who would rather on out list ... AJ or Pink, Foote, maybe Marsh, possibly Rohan, possibly Jack and even Hanners. If AJ’s knee fails one last time, just a rookie spot wasted.
