Wasn't McEvoy a top ten pick?

McEvoy was picl 9 but Cox was a rookie (wow).  Toby is an interesting one, passed over in his draft year but went pick 35 the year after to the the Sydney Sods.....

 

I’ll stand corrected on McEvoy but certainly a bit of a wasted pick for the Saints, traded him off for a pick in the teens and Shane Savage.

However I think it backs up my point, and whilst drafting in hindsight is easy Saints could have taken Mumford who went as a rookie and any of the players left on the table in place of McEvoy, namely

Dangerfield, Cyril Rioli, Robbie Tarrant, Alex Rance, Easton Wood, Scott Thompson (would have been handy in the 09/10 backline), Callan Ward or Cale Hooker

    West Coast Eagles will get him

    Think you're right assuming they can show him a decent plan to improve the team across the board. He'll get $$ but what the West also offers is the outside dollars. Radio, newspaper and sponsorship opps adding another $200k plus a year.

    Bulldogs also have to deal with the JUH contract renewal saga

    We are in desperate need of a ruckman that can take over from Max but our first major operation needs to be a key forward. BBB and TMac are in their twilights. Petty looks certain to head back to Adelaide at season's end if the 2023 trade week whispers are true and the jury is out on Jefferson. JVR can't do it alone and if he gets a whiff of home sickness in the coming years we are toast.

    The window is slowly shutting if we can't replenish our forward and ruck stocks.

    Max ain’t going anywhere for 3-4yrs yet — we need to lure someone once he’s nearing end, can’t happen sooner for obv reasons

    Nothing to do with your argument,  but I have vague recollections of the Saints hoping McEvoy would become a forward.

    Very generous to say Pruess has done well. 10 games in 3 years - all in 2022. When he's not injured, he's suspended.  

    He did do his shoulder in 2021 and back in 2023.

    Interesting stat for 2022 is that his average hit outs was 32.6 compared to Gawn’s 27.0…

     don’t think English will be as big a target for them as he was in 2022

    Could be wrong but just MO

    Free agents ?  Only Sydney’s Ollie Florent is realistically any target in my view.  Others are too expensive, too old , not good enough , not a good fit or not required.  Florent has skills and pace.  Offer him a 4 year deal and press the Swans into serious coin to keep him.

    100% agree!

    Was just referencing Gawn as I think he is the best ruck, a known player to us, and also Preuss moved from Melbourne to GWS so a relevant comparison to my previous point about GWS’ ruck coaching and recruiting.

    Oooft this is fantastic - thank you.

    What’s your source? Would love to dig into this further and look at intercept marks and tackles as well

    What’s really interesting from this stats  is Grundy’s rankings too.

    They would have asked the question but I don't think they would have had the cap space in 2022, a few players on big money not playing much.

    Clearing out NicNat, Shuey, Hurn add on what you expect lower contracts for Yeo, McGovern and Kelly when they renegotiate, Gaff is cooked most likely last contract and all of the sudden they have some coin to spend going forward.

    To me he is either staying in the West or moving further West.

    Just going to drop in that JVR is tracking better than JUH so far.

    Personally I think it is amazing for Van Rooyen to have done so well while taking opposition first defenders most of the time, compared to JUH who had the marking target support of Naughton, Lobb and English.

    Jamarra's no slouch, but Van Rooyen is an effective primary marking target at 20yrs and that takes some doing!

    They would partner up very well, too. ;)

    So get out the abacuses, slide rules, Casio desk calculators, power up the IBM mainframe and call in the statistical analyst think tank.

    Q. To ‘objectively’ decide what?

    A. Max Gawn as a ruck man ‘qualitatively’ has the greatest influence on team success of any of the ruck men in the land.

    Max ain’t going anywhere for 3-4yrs yet — we need to lure someone once he’s nearing end, can’t happen sooner for obv reasons 

    Max is one serious injury away from leaving us with a massive gap. He won’t get 4 more years. People forget about the injuries he had in the early part of his career and the knee injury last year. Add the fact he gets clobbered every week with little protection from umpires…he is a warrior and one of the all time greats, but it’s unrealistic to think he will be a top line ruck for another 4 seasons

    I have most of the stats from that article. Here are the top 10 rucks across the various stats in 2023, and I have also included a table at the end comparing all rucks in 2023 with 10+ matches (note the text in the table may wrap on a mobile device).

    All these stats are well and good, but the one that counts most for me is the centre clearance rate from about the 27minute mark of the third quarter, till the 5 miniute mark of the last in the 2021 GF.

    When I saw the threat title, I though @Bigfoot was suggesting the great Jack Viney was working his way through the LinkedIn Learning Elocution and Vocabulary Course.

    That's a bit harsh ... but I know what you mean.

    I prefer it when Jack let's his footy and physical pressure around the footy do the talking.

    Thanks so much Wheelo, this is really interesting!!

    I’m a bit unsure how I feel about Gawn’s average tackles. On the one hand it’s pressure and potential turnover, but on the other it could be an injury or suspension risk! (Particularly with how big some of these guys are).

    We need a backup ruckman who can play 15 games a year and allow max to only play 7 or 8 after this year, letting him rest but be fresh when he does play. Like brisbane did with their ruckman in their treble.

     

    Is that person english? Na he'd want to be number 1 and fair enough too.

    The 2023 figures are helpful.

    What they tell us is that Maxie only had a so so year in 2023. He was not in the top 5 of most of the figures. He didn’t make the AA team and it caused some dysfunction with Brodie playing at the same time. 

    In 2024 he is set up with backing from JVR Schache and Fullarton when he is fit. Oh and any other trainee ruck that surprises in form.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
