Wow, that went to [censored] quickly. I was trying to line up future potential and rough chances of meeting potential. I think O'meara's a massive risk, while Trenners ceiling isn't quite so high but neither is the risk. ANB as GCS have plenty of outside run, I'd imagine he'd provide some extra grunt to get the ball to them. He has a big upside, he just isn't what we need at this moment. Point taken though, and upper cut self-administered. Moot point now anyway with JT signing on again. Good news. Just as a matter of interest, are there other players that have been traded with similar injury histories? I'd say Mitch Clark, but can't recall others. I can't see GCS getting anywhere near what they're asking for, but you never know I guess.

Would Trengove and ANB for O'Meara work?

Ah ok, makes sense, wasn't aware of that. Cheers

Newton in devel league. wow

I'm fully expecting us to end up with a greater percentage than Norf.

Attached is a representation of Carlton's season, in terms of Disposals (D), Contested Possessions (CP), Clearances (CLR), Tackles (T) and Frees Against (FA). Frees Against is displayed on a different scale (right hand side) as the volumes are so low it wouldn't demonstrate the point. I'd suggest from a season perspective they were about their mark on each of those stats, except one..... I realise stats don't tell the whole story, but this is poking me in the eye (with no free kick paid). Sure we may not have been first to the ball all day, but I haven't seen a rule stating if you're first to the ball you can't be penalised. The rules still state you must either dispose of the ball legally if first to the ball, or tackle legally if second to the ball. Disclaimer: Not saying we would have won, simply stating this game was very unusual in regards to the free kick count of one team.

If it is going to be a 2nd rounder it should be next years. Considering we paid up front for Milkshake but were unable to open the box for 12 months, the favour should be returned and we get Hibbo now, they get paid their 2nd round pick next year.

You see this is the problem with the MFC at present. Too much is left up to the younger players, the experienced leaders need to be stepping up. So, Viney to injure Selwood, and Vince to injure Dangerfield.

I reckon they were very lenient on the Blues 'disposal' of the ball. Most of the time we laid a tackle they'd simply drop the ball, and I don't recall them ever getting pinged for it.

Thanks Chris.

How can the umps ensure Norf make the eight without impacting on GWS? You're watching it.

You'd think a Melbourne based Dees member needs a pretty good reason to miss this one.

This is a rough guide of percentage outcomes of tomorrows match. Top line is our score, down the left is Carltons score. Find the intersecting cell in the table for a rough idea of what our percentage would look like. I've bolded the outcomes which get us to the 107% mark, i.e. 80-30. Obviously from those numbers we'd need a roughly 50 point win to get close to the current mark. This does not take into account what happens next week.

Exactly. Essentially if you win a game with a lower percentage than your current overall season percentage - it will decrease. If you win a game with a higher percentage than your current overall season percentage - it will increase.

We need goals, not points

Some quick maths tells me if we were to score our season average of 87 points, to get near the Roos %age of 107.6, we'd need to restrict Carlton to roughly 35 points.

Does this help? Current Situation Club F A % NMFC North Melbourne 1893 1759 107.6 MELB Melbourne 1842 1758 104.8 Potential 5 goal margin scorelines Melbourne 31 61 91 121 151 181 211 Carlton 1 31 61 91 121 151 181 New percentage 106.48 106.37 106.27 106.17 106.07 105.97 105.88 Quite clearly, the higher the score - the lower the percentage gain.

I don't reckon you will. Umps threw everything at Sydney in the last qrtr, but thank [censored] they weren't even good enough at cheating to get their boys over the line.

Flicked over to the Toiges / Saints game. Is the scoreboard broken?

Free kicks 21 - 9

Why do North get every single 50-50 call, every week?

I reckon Ben Brown would glow in the dark

Oh no

I thought you said Bontempelli for a second there.

We'll smash them Pates. That new sign has finally been placed outside of The G. 'UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT'
