  1. Couldn't help the subconscious link eh... Bombers...substance etc etc 🙌
  2. Thanks, appreciate that. I don't think he is down on confidence as some have suggested, he is fairly consistent. He did look a little injured/sluggish yesterday, and still did some great chase downs... I guess I just feel there are always ebbs and flows throughout the season and some games you might be 20% down on previous weeks outputs (whatever metric you are using) - I think that's reasonable as it's a season that goes for 6 months... 6 bloody months ,and they run the equivalent of a marathon a week during game day and training, in such a ballistic sport, where they're getting knocks, injuries etc and still running a marathon. They're pretty special athletes (all AFL players).
  3. Oh! A 'nope rope'... Interesting data @Skuit, I'm still waiting for him to take a hanger... Anyway, he almost kicked the first of the game, so I don't think it has to do with the context of the location or the crowd... We do like to look for patterns to make sense of things, I just feel it's a bit of a long bow to draw, considering you have detailed he plays the hardest position on the ground (Hawks were flooding back, so space was limited)... etc etc.
  4. Yep, I was on the same wavelength about reasons to drop him. Took some hits, and did some very nice subtle things.
  5. Fascinating watching us choose to kick it around the 50m arc 4/5 times throughout the match (as did Hawthorn) without penetrating and going for what feels like the 'usual' long bomb to a pack. I'm not sure if it was about conserving energy, a deliberate change in tactics (and be that, due to personnel) or whether it was due to Hothron, flooding back and filling in the spaces. Good to see though.
  6. Were you sitting comfortably for the first 3?😵
  7. Behind the 8 ball, rehab, injury etc having gone to the GF. Which objectively is very valid. I will throw my hat in the ring, that I quite like Chris.
  8. Nor will the coaches or players - Nothing from Goodwin, Gawn or Petracca, nor from Nicks FoxSports Headline "Crows Coach All Class" But Crows coach Matthew Nicks says his side lost Saturday night’s match in the first two quarters — not due to a controversial behind — although he suggested his club would “trust in the process” as the AFL reviewed the finish to the game. I'm impressed in the messaging, that clubs and players are not aggrieved. Perhaps they're not, they are in the entertainment business after all...
  9. Getting greedy Rab...😆 It feels like this year, there are so many more matches than usual that go down to the wire. I am not sure if this is statistically correct - and I expect most of this match it will be 15 points to either team most of the match until the last few minutes again... sometimes it feels all a little contrived.
  10. Morning, still no rumours? ☀️
  11. Do you recall when it commenced? *apologies - nor do I! - my point was - it was done in a context where they would have felt it was relevant - many seasons before the current seasons, thus no idea it was a 'tight' season. Anyway there are a whole host of reasons why clubs have done it... AFL clubs sometimes sell or allocate home games to non-traditional venues for various reasons: Financial incentives: Regional centers or other states may offer financial incentives to clubs to bring AFL games to their location. This can be more profitable for the club than hosting a game at their traditional home ground, especially if they're not expecting a large attendance. Grow the fanbase: By playing in different areas, clubs can attract new fans and members. Community engagement: Clubs can strengthen ties with community groups, local clubs, and schools in the regions they visit. Partnership agreements: Some clubs have established partnerships or sponsorships with territories, such as the Northern Territory, which require them to play a certain number of games there each year. The Melbourne Football Club has a strong association with the Northern Territory due to their partnership agreement, made many years ago, before 2023.
  12. Sorry mate, that is such a naive comment....
  13. Nah, back out, but sub was warming up....
  14. Not that I wish ill on anyone, and Cripps is down in the rooms
  15. @Min Xie - you and I both know that’s EXACTLY how it happened 🫶
  16. But wouldn't that mean 'they' are going in too tall? It always seems on here that no matter what WE do, the opponent will have the upper hand,. as WE have gone to tall or small, not them... 😀
  17. I prefer the Supergrass version of Richard III
  18. *quickly googles reference*
  19. Maccas and Clayton on Social Media, just released. What an odd sponsorship partnership ... For a bloke that's never done media, now doing media...
