Interesting comparison, this season Fritsch V Watts. Table from footywire. I wonder with what Port now know, if given their time again would they keep pick 31 and go for Fritsch instead of trading for Watts?

Typical we will beat the Crows next week and will still not have beaten anyone above us. GO DEES

Commentators saying Carlton are a young side that is their excuse. Unfortunately for them we were younger. No research lip flappers. Go Deeeees!

The best of Jakovich was the best football I have seen. The best of Oliver probably yet to be seen. Yze 3rd in exceptional company. If you have not seen Jakovich do a google search and be enlightened.

Yarraville Valley?

Hutchins is returning from injury. Playing for Mansfield in the GVFL.

On the available body of work Allen Jakovic. At Olivers age Allen had not played. I think Oliver will become Melbourne's best ever player.

This is a better comparison, at the same age, Oliver's current age. - Footywire table Player Statistics Comparison Clayton Oliver Name Patrick Cripps Melbourne Demons Team Carlton Blues Midfield Position Midfield 43 Career Games 67 Murray Bushrangers Origin East Fremantle July 22, 1997 Date of Birth March 18, 1995 20yr 9mth Age Turned 21 in 2016 187cm Height 195cm 83kg Weight 93kg 2015 National Draft Last Drafted In 2013 National Draft Round 1, Pick #4 Last Draft Position Round 1, Pick #13 Melbourne Demons Last Drafted By Carlton Blues 2018 Stats for Season 2016 8 Games 21 9.4 Kicks Per Game 8.4 18.9 Handballs Per Game 18.6 28.2 Disposals Per Game 26.9 2.9 Marks Per Game 3.2 0.5 Goals Per Game 0.5 0.5 Behinds Per Game 0.7 7.9 Tackles Per Game 6.6 0 Hitouts Per Game 1.7 4.4 Inside 50s Per Game 2.9 1.0 Goal Assists Per Game 0.4 1.6 Frees For Per Game 1.6 1.5 Frees Against Per Game 1.9 16.5 Contested Possessions Per Game 16.9 11.9 Uncontested Possessions Per Game 10.2 20.6 Effective Disposals Per Game 19.4 73% Disposal Efficiency % Per Game 72.1% 4.1 Clangers Per Game 3.9 0.4 Contested Marks Per Game 0.3 0.4 Marks Inside 50 Per Game 0.4 7.5 Clearances Per Game 8.8 1.2 Rebound 50s Per Game 1.1 1.8 One Percenters Per Game 0.8 0.4 Bounces Per Game 0.6 82.4 Time On Ground % Per Game 83.8 2.9 Centre Clearances Per Game 3.5 4.6 Stoppage Clearances Per Game 5.3 7.4 Score Involvements Per Game 5.3 343.8 Metres Gained Per Game 177.4 3.8 Turnovers Per Game 3.5 4.2 Intercepts Per Game 2.6 1.5 Tackles Inside 50 Per Game 1.3 106.6 AFL Fantasy Score Per Game 99.5 116.5 Supercoach Score Per Game 107.6

Game time this season is interesting, as is metres gained. I think they are both great players but given the choice I would take Oliver every time. He is the best young player I have seen. ---Table from footywire.

Daisy one has to draw the line somewhere, and since the operation I can be of no further assistance.

Surely you jest.

Whilst slumming it in the Royal entourage can you take some snaps of Lady Penelope, I think she is the hottest of the royals.

I don't understand, football is being discussed here. I must be lost.

Ethan what have you done to yourself? Did you lose a bet? I will always remember you like this, Vomit

Generally sides in the 8 make the 8 is a bit of a motherhood statement, but I accept what you are saying. Generally 25% of sides in the 8 at round 9 don't make the final 8. Personally I hope that that is Adelaide & Hawthorn out for North & the Doggies but who knows.

So when you say, "Across the last 20 seasons the 8 does not alter after round 9" that means I can expect you to make statements with no basis in facts again. Thanks for the clarification. Some of us fess up when proven wrong. I thought Gysberts & Watts would be superstars.

That's what's wrong with his kicking, he needs it as a counter balance.

?

Frankston, great idea, then they steal the car and torch it.

Pedantic! You said "Across the last 20 seasons the 8 does not alter after round 9" 2017 You are wrong 2016 Correct 2015 You are wrong 2014 You are wrong 2013 You are wrong Statistically you have ignored the facts. I have not bothered to go any further, I am not that pedantic. Edit:- OK I am pedantic. 2012 You are also wrong . Sorry about the bold, it won't go away. Edit 2 :- The 2012 to 2017 period there have been 48 final spots, of those over 25% of those in the 8 after round 9 do not reach the final 8. So as a rough guide it is an indicator. And it is obviously better to be in the 8. But as industry funds tell us, past results do not guarantee future results.

Last year round 9 Sydney were 12th - Western Bulldogs 8th - Sydney finished 6th Dogs 10th Or round 10 - Sydney 15th Dogs 4th Edit: Diamond Jim had pointed out anomalies before me. I hadn't read his fine effort.

Maybe we should start another thread in the footy forum.

Sorry Wise but it was, "an plonker".

Barney, I understand that you don't like Whateley, which AFL commentators/journalists do you like?

Bayshaw! Please fix the thread title. My head hurts.
