Yes, his career record till end of 2021: 102 goals, 118 behinds, so not so reliable at all.

So ANB should have 5 votes, and therefore must have been missed for some reason.

You’d handle both of them with one arm tied behind your back. They’d be WCW’d.

Haha I’d prefer to watch this one.

Sorry, I didn’t intend to offend you specifically Billy.

Why do you care what Dermott “I’m just a Stone Age dirtbag baby” Brereton says or thinks? He’s an [censored]. Why give him any airtime at all? I do admit I love it when the football media is against us. Why would I want those cretins pushing our barrow? I’m a lot saner since I stopped watching and listening to these so-called football experts about 4 years ago. The only thing I get worked up about now is game day - and that’s enough for me thanks.

Deev, I think his strength and tapwork for an undersized ruck is really good. I also noticed a stat where his percentage of taps to advantage is slightly better than Max’s! So not too shabby.

In addition, RG, he said that once he has ball in hand he now takes a breath and steadies before disposing. I think that has been a key element in his improvement.

I think he’ll make a better key forward.

Very best wishes, Bill. You've been given a golden opportunity to prove your worth. Don't stuff it up.

ANB is the exact mould of a team- first player and clubman that Tasmania should be chasing. (But hands- off Nibbla!).

Yes

Haha, no one is that old, hardtack! Suggestion for Blake Howes : “Crowded”. (Inspired by @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew).

Normally I’d just put a laughing emoji on your work D but not enough in this case. Just brilliant!

Binny, why are you suggesting that the SCG has "ridiculous dimensions"? From a total area perspective (set up for AFL) its middle of the road from all the grounds we play on. From a length perspective its only 5m shorter than the MCG (at 160m), but while it is the shortest of the main grounds we play on, it's only 1m shorter than the Gabba. In terms of width, there are only 3 grounds wider than it - with the MCG (at 141m) being 5m greater. It is actually only 2m less width than the Gabba, but 13m wider than the Adelaide Oval, and a massive 21m greater width than Kardinia Park. It's approx the same size as the Gabba in length and width, and I cannot remember hearing any adverse comments about the "ridiculous dimensions" of the Gabba (although I could be wrong here). At 5m shorter and 5m less width than the MCG, the SCG therefore has similar proportions to the G - ie its exactly 96% of both its width and length - and therefore you wouldn't think it would affect the Dees too much. If the MCG is the benchmark for length to width ratio - (L:W 1.13 : 1), then the Gabba at 1.13 : 1 and the SCG at 1.14 :1 are all very similar. With Docklands at 1.24 : 1, Bellerive at 1.29 : 1, Adelaide Oval at 1.36 : 1, and Kardinia Park at 1.48 : 1 bringing up the tail. All this perhaps begs the question, should the SCG be copping such flack about its "ridiculous dimension"? I also cannot think of another code of football that doesn't have same set dimensions at every ground it plays on. This, I believe, is a unique character of AFL, and therefore makes it more interesting in so many ways - to my eyes at least. (dimensions taken from a 2022 ABC analysis article).

My memory could be bad but I was of the opinion that the only player that had a Flower-like gate that I’d seen was Keith Greig from North.

Wasn’t Waverley the site of the Packer cricket circus, and the site of the world’s first drop in wicket?

Could be a lot worse.

So by your rules Gus becomes Guy?

Can someone please enlighten me as to the definition of a centre bounce clearance - and who gets the stat? Is it the player who gathers the ball and handballs it to another, or is it the player who receives the handball and kicks it away from the centre? (if it’s the latter, then the old saying that “it is better to give than receive” obviously doesn’t apply to AFL stats).

I love Jack, but after listening to over half of that podcast, he still hasn’t grown up and he still hasn’t acknowledged that he could have changed his whole image at the Dees by simply meeting whatever standards we had back then. One day, hopefully, he might wake up.

I thought Lever had a shocker, including giving away 5 free kicks.

So is Queen Jaded. Nice to have you back.

Excellent win today - a great response to last week. And think how much better we will be when Lever, Fritsch and Sparrow don’t have shockers like they did today.

Hi Picket, how did Sestan go please? And where would you place him in the pecking order at present, and into the future?
