Parish set a record with the number of possessions.  Will probably get high votes from both coaches (10 will go to the Akermanis clone).  But gee Parish is a frustrating player; runs hard to get a possession but lopes around when it is time to chase.

At the end of the first qtr yesterday he had 15 possessions with distance gained:  90 mtrs!!!  Its circuit handball work for him. 

Talk about chasing Brownlow votes.

He is the epitome of an outside receiver and very very vanilla. Just a Meh acumulator thats all he is Pass

I see Grundy could out for 8-10 weeks for the pies. If so he will be paid approx $100k a game. 

Collingwood were always good at splashing cash around for good, ordinary players!

When will they outlaw knees up at a ruck contest? 

Agreed.

Too often Max ends up with knees in his chest but gets pinned for 'blocking' if he puts his arm out to protect himself and keep the ruckman at bay.

Draper deliberately targeted Grundy's knees.  There was a ball up after Grundy's right knee was injured where Draper stayed down, took his eyes off the ball and waited for Grundy to go up and then jumped just high enough to reach Grundy's (good) knee.  Should have been cited for rough conduct.

My immediate thought:  thank God we have already played Ess and aren't up against Draper again this year.

Draper is lining himself up for a suspension soon the way he plays.

only a matter of time til the bounce is dead

tip-off at the centre seems an inevitability

Saw footage of how Darcy plays.  He also took his eyes off the ball and waited till Pittonet leapt before jumping in with his knee.  Pittonet out with a PCL.  Like Draper's action it looked deliberate.

As soon as a ruckman takes his eyes off the ball at a CB the umpire should call a free.  Or do it often enough cited by MRO for rough conduct, fined and if need be suspended.  

We don't need the better/best ruckman to be taken out.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
