nah, i'd rather win games than have a moral victory

14 out of 18/19 games is a Bazball winning total. We got out of jail in Fourth Test and cheated another Lords  result 2 series in row. I was at both.

    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.

    It's the contested marks that is the difference - 2.3/match, more than 50% better than all comers.

    Cheers appreciate the abstract,  summary and key points fellas. So that finally puts to bed the supposed benefits of the Tapp brothers synergism. KISS and make up works a treat.

    Think 13 from 20 is the accurate figure.

    Pay decent money for a guy who obviously wants to be no.1 ruck? What could possibly go wrong!

    Real talk though he'd be a worthy successor, hard to know when that will be though.

    Maxy took unders on his last contract so we could re-sign our other stars on long deals and will play for another 3 years if he remains uninjured. I actually thought that Petts did really well playing as our tall marking outlet from defence when Max dropped back.

    So Max has 3 more years of his contract.?
    He took unders - can you explain this please?

    Thanks

    Hi Dingo. He's hinted himself that he took less than market value when he signed his last contract in order to ensure there was enough left in the kitty to re-sign the likes of Gus and Vines to long term deals when other clubs were sniffing around them both. He might only have one year left on that contract (I think?) but I think he could play for another three at a high level, making it less than likely that we target another No.1 ruckman for at least two of those years.

    Good news.  He’s soft. 

    Let's try for Ugle-Hagen and/or Bont instead.

    I remember years ago posters would say ... let's offer next year's first pick ... and Bate and Dunn!! Not sure who the current versions of Bate and Dunn are!!

    Bulldogs taking dangerously long contracts with players, like we do…

    or just locking up their best talent, like every other club does?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
