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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
