    Me too! He's kicked 6.9 for the year and has burnt some team mates
  2. Having read this thread and various other threads re VandenBerg over the years I think I have the un-popular opinion of that I don't think he's that good. I understand there needs to be some forgiveness given he's lack of continuity in his football, but he just can't kick. I think he can be the beneficiary of shortened quarters where he can be used as an impact player - but he needs to be more than a bloke that can just tackle. He has no problem finding the ball: vs Geelong – 1 kick, 6 handballs, 3 tackles 62% game time –71% efficiency vs Richmond – 14 touches, 3 tackles, 70% game time –85% efficiency vs Gold Coast – 11 touches, 3 tackles, 47% game time –72% efficiency vs Hawthorn – 13 touches, 4 tackles, 81% game time – 53% disposal efficiency If he polishes up his kicking - especially at goal, he could be a lot more damaging playing that half-forward pushing deeper role. Bizarrely, I can acknowledge that we are a better side with him in - so maybe I'm just Covid rambling
  3. Probably comes down to the form of Hibberd to some degree - even then I'd love to have both of them running around for us in form at the same time
  4. Rory Laird? Out of contract end of 2021 and althought an Adelaide boy - could be keen to get out of the joint. Turns 27 in December so potentially good for another 4-5 yrs.

    100%. He had players everywhere or he could have chewed up time. Instead he did his Angus Brayshaw impersonation and shanked one into the corridor and hit the GC on the [censored]
  6. We're not good enough to be too cute with resting players
  7. Don't know if we beat much today but a 7 goal win is a 7 goal win. Midfield group was huge. Pressure - especially forward 50 was huge. Only negatives - Brayshaw and VandenBerg should be designated non-kickers
  8. On to my 2nd bottle of whisky and haven't yelled at my tv once. Strange feeling.
  9. Stop giving away [censored] downfield free kicks!

    Me thinking to myself. *Hawks won't play two shocking games in a row, I wonder who they've got next week* *Checks fixture* "Ah crap!" *Logs into tab app*

    Caleb Daniel is everything I hoped Spargo would be. He's ball use and smarts are elite
  12. Who will Nev Jetta play on now?
  13. Would rather a 2021 Cam Pedersen
  14. Basic 1 percenters that become momentum shifting is what does me in. In the first qtr himmelberg kicks a goal that goes through 2 meters high as Max has been bumped off the line. Two mins later Mcdonalds shot from 45m out doesn't make the distance and is touched on the line and there's no one there to shepherd it through. Later on I think in the 2nd, when they're all over us and by right should have been 10 goals up. Viney takes a mark and has the look of 'Im captain I'll take responsibility and kick this goal' and he misses and they go down the other end and kick the next 8. I know we have injuries and have our $3 million backline out, but this is basic stuff and the 2 scenarios above (which there were many) fell on to our 2 'leaders'. Then there's skill execution, which is just going to drive me up the wall so I'll just leave it at this. We need to be aggressive and savage come trade time & bring in players that can use the ball.
  15. Time to make McGovern my supercoach captain this week
  16. Stevienic - need more glenfiddich
  17. Eh! this is still better than the crap my girlfriend watches
  18. Agreed. I caught on late. Went to an event at Whisky & Alement last year and had it. Went to buy a bottle the next day and couldn't get it.
  19. Its a good drop for $80. Im sweating on the Glendronach 15 'Revival' to be available again or better yet my 30th birthday in November so i can crack open my 1988 Glenfarclas
  20. Trade news at Stevienic headquarters. Out - Glenmorangie Dornoch In - Glendronach 12 List manager Steve thanks Glenmorangie Dornoch for its services throughout the 2018 season and looks forward to the new chapter
  21. Live scenes at Freo
  22. Took Gus during the year to win at $501. Didn't go each way and just saw he was $251 for top 3. I feel ill!
  23. Didnt we actually have full sessions during pre season where they could only use their opposite foot?
