Chris you must be counting in imperial. in metric if you count the booths it is half that. Now that i think of it imperial makes sense.

There is 50 lanes that I could see, plus the additional lanes on the RHS. It escapes me why motorists aren't travelling on the empty three lane road on the LHS however?
 

The only thing agile about Levi Casboult is the goal umpires have to be very agile to move 20m to their left or right to put their arm at perpendicular to their body...

We may be focussing too much on the stigma attached to Casboult's poor kicking.

Looking a bit deeper, the facts show he has improved quite a bit since taking on Sav Rocca as a coach in mid April.

Kicked 2:4 in the first 3 weeks of the season. In the other 13 games, he kicked 22:8 in a team that had major deficiencies with forward structure and quality of forward 50 entries. Supposedly 2014 had a lot more OOTF than 2015.

Field kicking has also improved. Disposal efficiency since 2012:

2012 - 57.4%

2013 - 61%

2014 - 70%

2015 - 76.7%

How he fits into the forward structure needs to be considered, but if his goalkicking truly is getting sorted then he is potentially a major upgrade on Dawes as a foil for Hogan. He's clearly a far better contested mark.

I'm not quite as closed off to the idea as I was. He's an improved player.

because you end up in mongolia

 

Wont be able to listen to when they talk about Chris Dawes and Jeremy Howe at 1:00pm. Can someone who is listening tell us what they said?

being pedantic i know but how does 24:12 equal 76.7%. i make it 66.7%

Stone cutters

Typo?

I think it's just a visual metaphor to describe teams placed 7-12 at about round 18 each attempting to squeeze into the final eight.

Ldvc Can we just leave expressions like " Visual metaphor " to the teachers please. ??

Sorry I was referring there to field kicking - disposal efficiency. Fixed.

here

Not to mention "than", not "then"... another of my pet hates (grammatically speaking).


Typo?

yeah maybe, but that then ruins his argument of improvement over 2014 (70%)

edit: forget that. he has explained it wasn't goal kicking efficiency figures but overall disposal figures

Thread to be renamed "Trade Radio and Chinese Traffic Jam Discussion"

I heard they put a massive offer to Charlie Dixon that's just my mail.

If true and we land him, I'll drop my case for recruting Casboult.

I heard they put a massive offer to Charlie Dixon that's just my mail.

I'm sure we could satisfy GC and Dixon financially, but Dixon chose Port due to his previous relationship with Hinkley.


Adam Tomlinson also potentially in the mix for a tall. Contracted, but adamant he's walking. Carlton favourites, but Dees interested.

Freo offering two first rounders for Cam McCarthy

Vintage Ross Lyon, mortgaging his teams future for his own gain. He will leave Freos list in the same state he left the Saints

How is he mortgaging his team's future by trading first round picks for a 20 year old CHF who has runs on the board? McCarthy has another 10 years left! Very simplistic assessment you've made. Bennell is only 22 as well, it's not like they're bringing in Hodge and Lewis for a one year tilt.

AHh love this time of year...it's like Disneyland for Football !! :roos:

I heard they put a massive offer to Charlie Dixon that's just my mail.

And GC Footy Manager believes Howe will be with them next season.

Wait we did?? Any figures mentioned?

Love you Chook! Can you confirm our interest in Dixon also?

How long does he want to wait before having a chance to play finals?

If he wants to wait an extra two years, he should go to Carlton.

Casboult is more a MARKING tall than Dawes :rolleyes:

LoL... Paul Callery was more a marking tall than Dawes. come to mention it, he was more a half foward than whats his face?

 

Love you Chook! Can you confirm our interest in Dixon also?

First I've heard of that. Seems adamant its Port and Port alone

I tossed up - knew I'd get it wrong.

;) careful chook, Jaded's 'prowling' these pages in anticipation, as we post... by the way, are you a lefty?

:roos:

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
