That would explain his modest output in the first 3 rounds.
Give him as much time as it takes to get the ankle right - love to see him back fighting fit in the 2nd half of the season when types like Clarrie might be getting a bit weary.
Modest?
"Gees that's a tad harsh Bill"
Kicked the winner against GWS and was a foot off sealing one of our greatest come backs..

As much as I loathe him immensely, David King brought up an interesting scatter plot graph that Champion Data use to determine how close to premiership standard teams are. It's based on scoring 100 points a game and conceding around 86.
This was from Round 21 last year I think, and as you can see by the legend 14 of last 15 premiers have met these criteria.
Last year we were not scoring enough, nor defending well enough.
Now the updated graph for this year after 4 rounds has us much closer to somewhere near we need to be:
Both our points for and points conceded totals have improved a lot, and we compare favourable to some good teams such as the Hawks (who have obviously underperformed by their standards so far this year).
For the first time in a number of years, like a lot on here, I can genuinely see progress onfield on a more consistent basis, and now statisically that's backing up our reason for cautious optimism.
Like this as a graph.. Great concept!

People are either forgetting this or have understandably blocked it out
Take your pick - our 0-9 start to 2012 or if you want a shortened version, revisit rounds 1 & 2 of 2013
We were shite. Utter, utter shite. To think that could have been turned around in a year is laughableIt's a credit to Roos and Jackson that they were prepared to take the time to do a proper sustainable rebuild
And this is still nowhere near the finished product. It's just the first glimmer of light at what's been a long and farking horrible tunnel
You can even take it all the way back to that Nightmare against the Cats in 2011.. That's when the club was bought to it knees..
But enough doom and gloom!
Richmond bringing Deledio back in after no Game time at all in 2016 makes me smirk.. Send Viney straight to him and Garry Ablett rd1 2015 the [censored] out of him!!

Beveridge implemented a game plan in 1 summer. We have taken 3 years. Their list was not vastly different to ours. Even Bolton at Carlton has them playing in a style which is recognisable after 1 summer.
I don't buy McCartney did all the hard work. They were a basket case.
The Bulldogs list was miles ahead of ours.. Granted it's early.. But maybe we'll see the same resurgence they did, this year? To do that though, we need to belt the bad teams! Like they did, aka us at Etihad last year..

I'm not sure it takes 3 years to implement.
It does when your list was so fragile and to be honest, pathetic..
Neeld hammers our club and the bulk of the players lost confidence , and for some even ruined their careers.. Only the best of our worst era are still on the list with probably more than half gone from 2013/12..
dawes was a lock back in 2014 for a start.. Now most on here would rather he isn't even an emergency..
Just remember how bad we were.. For 2 years!

Vince and Garlett have to come in. A small forward and a mid have to make way to keep the balance. Kent (doesn't rack up many possessions when averaged over games and a spell at casey could give him an opportunity to run around in the midfield and rectify that)for Garlett (better forward pressure and more goals). Vince for Oliver(various reasons as expressed by others here, even if it is only a week or 2).
You have rocks in your head and don't watch the games of think Kent will be dropped.. Sorry to be so blunt.. Kent is a lock in the 22 as long as he is fit!

And make it 3 in a row v the Tigers!

We should be ready for this frequent tactic of Martin. It gives him extra time to choose the best option for disposal, which he does excellently.
I work with a martial arts expert, and I asked him about this. He says that the mistake people make when confronted with a push away is that they push back. The better response is to pull back, using the momentum of his push, to pull him off balance.
Perhaps another approach would be to make a concerted effort to grab that outstretched hand and not let go. He'd then be in the difficult position of not being able to handball.
Whatever they decide to do , they should be ready for Martin to push them in the face when he's tackled.His effectiveness would be greatly nullified if they could somehow counteract it.
Hope he tries to fend off Gawn.. And is subsequently ends up dislocating his shoulder!

AFLCA votes, round four: Perfect 10 sees young Demon move up to fourth
Any chance that Viney could be a smokey for the Brownlow?
Paying $67 on Sportsbet.
Put 10 on him at 151-1 at the start of the year!! Wish I took the place bet as well!!

I tried watching the first quarter but the camera work is garbage.. The "cameraman" zooms in way to far and reacts to slow to when the ball is kicked.. Frames up the player on the wrong side.. Just yuk!

I sat through the entire 2014 tribunal season as a AV tech (I played the videos and made the phone calls)
I think he'll be given a week and be able to take an early plea down to a fine.. It was wreck less and intentional, but mcmillian wasn't hurt.. Could be defended as a brain fade.. And I would imagine Vince has a fairly clean record?

Out. Vince (likely suspension) Wagner

Just quietly.. Carey's percentage is 511.43 %

I'm getting in first. This is the worst defeat in ten years ! Worse even than the demolition job the Cats did on us At Skilled Stadium in the Bailey years.
We were and are PUTRID! Too many players far too easily pleased! Chuffed we were about last week! Yeah that was our equivalent of winning a Premiership!
Let this sink in! We lost to a team of Top ups! What a absolute disgrace we are, Can we possibly get some players that actually will Bleed for the jumper!??
Poor coaching and poor selections contribute. You reap what yiou sow! The embarrasment I feel is is palpable!
What he said ^^^
why Lamumba gets a game in front of the 200 CENTIMETRE FROST IS AS BAD AS NOT PICKING STUART MACGILL IN THE 05 ASHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're wearing our white away guernsey. It's horrible. We don't look tough in it and it sucks watching the highlights. Not good to use any great marks or goals for branding or marketing when wearing it. I wish they'd wear the red one.
Who else hates it?
I actually quite like it..

I'm tipping 8, Watts 5, Jeffy 4, Vanders 3 to win by 100 points, and go to second on the ladder...
This would be the only thing better than beating them by a point 2 years ago! I'd love us to return the 138 point favour from 2013!!

Thanks for that. Only caught the end. Apparently 11 of the 22 who ran out on Saturday have been picked by JT who has only been with us for 3 years.
What they didn't mention was Brayshaw and Petracca still to come...
And how good is that?!

DANGER GAME! DANGER GAME!
**SIRENS**
Maybe last year or the year before..
I think Dunn comes in for McDonald.. And the way Roo's works that will be the only change..
They'll give Brayshaw a run at Casey and won't risk him against Essenson who are a basket case!
