Re: Alphabet team
Our only Q was Frankie Quinn who played a game for us in 1920.
No Z's have played for us.

Re: Alphabet team
There’s no U or X either. And we’ve never had one. Maybe we could address these oversights in the draft.

Re: Alphabet team
It would be good if we could, Kosi. After all we are said to lack X factor.

"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."

Re: Alphabet team
Well there's no I in team but should there be a U?

Clearly we need and alphabetical affirmative action policy to break through the discriminatory glass ceiling that limits the careers of players whose names start with weird letters.kosifantutti wrote:There’s no U or X either.

We should make that our top recruitment policy - after of course we ensure we have a representation of LGBTQI players.
We basically need an LGBTQIQZUX affirmative action policy.

Well...drafting Mark Zanotti sounds like something we'd do.kosifantutti wrote:There’s no U or X either. And we’ve never had one. Maybe we could address these oversights in the draft.

Re: Alphabet team
Great stuff! Given there's no surname starting with X can you make an exception and include X Clarke? (I'd also have H7 for the D in the centre.)
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.
