Imagine 85-90% gametime from Clearance Clarry!

I wonder if he would have just as much impact or if the fact that he can come in for short bursts means he has a greater impact in the game.

    I think his output would only drop if he is struggling with his endurance ie cannot get to enough contests, too fatigued to jump when tackled to free his arms, that sort of thing.

    Valid points CB and  AKA - unless he were to find that undetectable "something" that allowed Cousins to run all day +++ in the GF 2006 or 2007. 

    Of course all things are undetectable if unsought, and if indeed such were detectable then swept under some magic carpet somewhere.

    Can someone please make a GIF of that handpass to Jones who then kicked the goal from his left foot?

    Had to slow down and enlarge to see properly.

    They were talking about this stoppage on "Access all arears" - Saints outnumbered us 7 to 4 at this contest. Doesn't matter how many opponents are at the contest if you draw 4 players to you and still get away a "sublime" handball that Jones could run onto at full tilt.

    His hands are absolutely sublime.

    "Melbourne have utilised both the new points-based draft system and the introduction of future pick trading to take a huge plunge into this year's national draft."

     

    And now we can see why.

    If I was the Saints coach I would also be giving Hickey a bake - even though Watts didn't really get much of a hand on the ball, to allow a second string ruckman ( shorter and lighter) to out body him, get front position and thereby allowing the ball to spill out the back was poor. Hickey had one job and that was to get the ball defensively to the front of the pack.

    Watch the lead up to ANB's goal in the last and tell me how Max lost that ruck contest to Ross. Happens to the best of them

    haha it's not as bad as that "3rd man up" with Vickery and Hartung. Such a stupid way to implement the rule.

    sorry..you need to drive to "Stupid" and then go about 50 kilometres past for that decision. 

    That decision was only second behind the decision  for gross stupidity in the JLT where the ball was thrown in short from the boundary and hit one of the onballers on the back of the hea who was waiting in front of the ruckman  and he was free kicked against for third man up .....

    I do wish Bernie would effing stop sniping people in play (can think of 3 occasions in the 2 qrt that I watched) He does it game in game out - is the worst 'overt' sniper since David King finished up...

    Brent Harvey played well after David King finished

    He did a similar one at a critical moment in the memorable victory vs Hawks last year.  He has fantastic vision and execution.

    If you watch the umpire segment on afl website they explain what happened and it was the correct decision, omeara took the ball up before that with vickery there so the umpires ask someone to nominate who is taking the ruck and if no one puts there hand up then no one is allowed to go up, so it's upto the players to sort it out I like the rule I think it's good for us as when gawn is well on top like Saturday st kilda couldn't even change things up by sending 3rd man up

    Watching the reply I was looking for a moment when we turned the game around. To me, it was with about 12 minutes to go in the second, with what resulted in Weideman's beautiful running goal. The catalyst was Oliver, scooping the ball up and shooting off the first in what was a seamless chain of handbills, moving us into the 50m arc and setting up the Weed. Champagne football and a sign of the glory to come.

    The slow-mo vision of that handball shown on Access All Areas really shows how brilliant it was. 

     

    This kid is something else.

    Still my favourite piece of play. One handed against a 3 time premiership player. Impressive

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
