Expectations for the new decade

I love it when the flat earthers had a conference last year and declared it was the biggest flat earth conference on the globe

I just wondered if the world's shape is dependent on the shape of the universe, like relative to it, so I wiki -ed, shape if the universe and my brain literally vaporised after trying to read the first paragraph.

I think the AFL ladder is spherically shaped, and luckily perhaps for us, we never fall out the bottom like EPL .

[diddley]

Unless

King, Bytel, Coffield, Gresham, Billings and Howard become A Graders

We will go nowhere

Please add Ross, Steele and Clark to that list. They have the potential.

No one is mentioning Marshall or Battle?

If it is a merry go round we would come back to the top periodically, clearly it's not a mouse wheel.

Very true.
I sometimes wonder if it is three wheels now, with the bottom six rotating.although probably not true either.

Wouldn’t 20-29 be the next decade

The ‘20s

... when someone says “the 20s” it sort of refers to 2020 - 2029 ... sort of

Certainly does.

If you had a trivia question that asked; Who won the first premiership in the decade of the '80's the answer is...ask Kevin Bartlett

Same if you ask in which decade did Collingwood win a flag before 2010. The answer isn't the 50's.

I think our fortunes over the next few yearswill depend on how this guy goes . But geez he looks like he could be a ripper



Just stay healthy young man!

It has been said by the sages that there exist as many parallel universes as there are AFL football teams.

Consequently, many ladder/premiership outcomes are possible, and in fact, do happen, and all at the same time too.

Unfortunately for St Kilda and us, we have almost always inhabited, in the subatomic flatulence of particles, waves and strings, relative to our collective consciousness, the wrong parallel footy universe.

Now somebody mathematically talented could work out how many combos of ladders that actually exist at each moment.

I got a D for maths in HSC, so I'll skip on that and just stick to the deep thinking.

[ausfatcat]

If we don't win at least 12 premierships over the next decade it is a disaster and the coach, board and receptionist should be sacked.

[minneapolis]

When Pol Pot came to power he declared it was Year 0.

I think we should do the same with Lethlean.

We are starting Year 3 and, like John F Kennedy, I propose we land a flag on the pole before the decade is over.

Wouldn’t 20-29 be the next decade

The ‘20s

Technically 5B is correct. 1-10 is a decade, not 0-9, and officially the millennium began in 2001.

But people like referring to the '80s, ''90s, etc., so here we are.

[bigred]

multiple premierships.

[Enrico_Misso]

2020 is not actually the new decade. We went from 1BC to 1AD skipping the year 0. This meant that the first decade was year 1 to 10 hence 2011 to 2020. That means the new decade will be 2021.

Concur.

Another amusing example of this lack of numeracy is former AFL CEO Ross Oakley who suffered an embarrassing case of premature celebrations.

Ross was due to retire at the end of 1996.
So he decided to declare 1996 as the AFL centenary and organised a series of events and celebrations across the year which he presided over and basked in the glow.

The only problem was the VFL/AFL started in 1897 so whilst 1996 was the 100th season, the competition didn't actually reach it's centenary until the end of 1996 i.e. 1997, or the year AFTER his retirement!

(Presumably Ross will celebrate his 99th birthday with 100 candles!)

The Google definition of decade is 's period of ten years'. That should mean a decade can start at any time. The next ten years starts from now.

What's a "google definition"? Is that, like, whatever information you happen to find from anywhere on the Internet? Cos, like, that might not be a 100% reliable way of finding out stuff

The OP is referring to the new Decade though, not just any decade.

[outside66]

My expectation is for us is to be debt-free and having a membership tally that is more reflective of actual Saints supporters - upwards of 80,000 signed up would be a minimum come 2029/30.

We are desperate for King to become a star and a lot is riding on him unfortunately. Rooey alone would've captured a whole generation of Sainters.

Surely not! If that's the case 90% of my info might not be correct.
