May as well repost this article that came out after 10 or so rounds this year. https://www.zerohanger.com/best-and-worst-kicks-inside-50-unveiled-29660/ Best Kicks Inside 50 1. Dayne Zorko (Brisbane Lions): 43 kicks — 55.8 per cent retention rate 2. Jack Gunston (Hawthorn): 27 kicks — 55.6 per cent retention rate 3. Jack Newnes (St Kilda): 29 kicks — 48.3 per cent retention rate 4. Bradley Hill (Fremantle): 27 kicks — 48.1 per cent retention rate 5. Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood): 46 kicks — 47.8 per cent retention rate Worst Kicks Inside 50 1. Clayton Oliver (Melbourne): 45 kicks — 8.9 per cent retention rate 2. Rory Sloane (Adelaide): 31 kicks — 12.9 per cent retention rate 3. Ed Langdon (Fremantle): 30 kicks — 16.7 per cent retention rate 4. Hugh McCluggage (Brisbane Lions): 34 kicks — 17.6 per cent retention rate 5. Travis Boak (Port Adelaide): 38 kicks — 18.4 per cent retention rate -- Of course the catch is he's averaged 16 and 15 pos the past 2 years, but 22-23 back in 2014-2017. So you'd hope that he's seeking to refresh his career, rather than just do a deal for 3 years and fade into retirement.

We should feed JKH more pies and turn him into a Dean Rioli.

Didn't make it to us? We chose Spargo, Fritsch & Petty before him. He made it to us, we chose not to pick him. Furthermore, we took Baker at 48, so it gives some clue into the mindset of our club 2 years ago, that we valued outside speed as a 4th priority with only a late pick. Edit: It might work out great though if the opportune pick of Petty at 38 becomes a mainstay and we address speed deficiencies elsewhere.

Jones must've been sunburnt

I don't think we would've got any junktime goals either. WCE would not have left anything in reserve for the following week and would've wanted to kick a half of celebratory goals.

You clearly are not a part of the planned DEMONLAND.COM BOARD SPILL at the MFC next year if we're down the bottom.

Real interest at what pick?

I'd have GWS above us for a decent first quarter and keeping the Tigers goalless if it werent for a dodgy free kick to Riewoldt and a very late Rioli goal. Our prelim would've been x10 as horrendous if it was a GF

Got the poor ending it deserved i suppose. The year's high was Jordan Lewis kicking a soccer goal on the goal-line after bodying his opponent and Preuss kicking 2 out of the ruck against Sydney. And the GWS win over Brisbane & Collingwood.

The player i'd most liken him to is a calf-injury stricken hobbling Phil Davis but with a blonde crew cut in place of a manbun

Only saw the heat but Frost looked stuffed, Ben King looked like he hadn't broken out of stride. Was a lock for the gf sprint victory after seeing that.

Watching Ben King easily burn off Frost...

Dunno about interesting anymore. Bit of a time-sink these 100 page Kelly, Gaff, Whitfield and wait for it.. Prestia pipedreams of the past few years that never went anywhere.

One thing unmentioned is his debut in 2012 at the age of 23. So It's not as if he's been in the system for that long. Perhaps that could help longevity re risk of slow down. We just lost a 28 year old KPF just above peak age, that had only been in the system for 2 years. So it's fickle as to who can impact at what age, who can have a prolonged career and who can't. A proven track record of games played per season, goals kicked and a lack of injury history could work in his favor, even for a 31 year old next season.

Splitting the pick and getting nobody we wanted. The darkest timeline

An interesting quote in terms of being the philosophical ethos of the great Melbourne odd/even year Curse. I mean thank god the pies beat us in round 23 2017 and blessed us with a month off and the subsequent bangin' 2018 finals. In all seriousness though, absolutely zero to be read into puff pieces like these. Just glad he's sticking around, as he's one of our best players to watch and despite what some have said, is one of our elite-trending players that has continued to improve year on year.

You have to laugh... I really hope this sort of stuff burns in the guts of the players and next year we come out breathing fire.

Because flakey players like Sidebottom go missing I might add!

We would've won 5 of them to be precise. And North Melbourne and Brisbane would've merged in 2004 after a lack of premiership success.

Crying from the weight of carrying the Pies when both games were on the line.

Well we can lose, if our forward line is trash next year.

@Demonland Easiest photoshop job ever today with the swap of Elliott's head onto Jones body? ?

Ross Lyon and Fyfe to the Dees for every pick we have ?

Nah, it's Mr Freeze
