58er

Actually his handpassing is out of the Clarry Oliver School of Ball Movement. Would even say the passes are a bit cleaner in delivery to be honest!!!

Didn't you notice the very substantial bulking up of Jacko between seasons LITB? Must have increased weight by 8/10 kgs O would hav thought. Look at some 2020 photos and a recent one and see the arms, body upper especially and legs so much more muscle and definition.

That's because he has probably played about 99 % of his AFL career in defence. But when he has the ball he always tries to turn defence into some attacking move gif the team. Even if he only kicked the ball himself he can roost it an absolute 50m minimum mostly longer though sometimes over 60m. Salo and Bowey are classy players and as you said instinct is very much part of their skill set which sets up play downfield in an attacking flair for our forwards mids and on ballers.

By tights should get another nomination but maybe give to Bowey this time !!!

Any comments The Silent Dr D ???

Sorry Jake is not dethroned by a 2 gamer who nevertheless is a star in the making maybe a Rising one at that!!

Congrats to Nibbler on his 100 games. Whlie he has been a player our TV screens are screamed at or match day records are torn up he has proved that his 20 games this year have been by far his best in a block so far. And last night his best game ever ( or most valuable contribution) came on the big stage and his goals were priceless. Could easily be a best wild X factor in the Finals going under the radar if his form remains good. Go ANB no boundaries just goals and run and support.

Won't happen will be in 23 I reckon

I am hoping you Inadvertently forgot Fritta our 40 plus leading goal kicker. If not then perhaps desist in naming BEST 23 fir finals. PS we omitted Fritta in 2018 fir the prelim and all know what happened then!!!

But he hasn't really do don't hold your breath. You always want most players to have the ball as their object and get the umps verdict from the oppositions rough stuff!! Without just capitulating a show of strength is necessary but fine do it and others don't do well or not at all.

Arent you forgetting the BYE round in between?

That's not certain snd if finishing higher will be given probably option of venues as in home and away. So we need to finish 1 or 2,to get that advantage of choice wherever. Also winning breeds confidence and self belief. Or haven't you played sport much over the journey.?

Billing's not an outside runner Where is that evidence? He hardly ever plays on the ball for Saints. Is a half forward who has underperformed IMO on theAFL stage. What memory Bllings leaves is a half forward marking 40m out and missing the goals. Is Not a Shea Bolton type player who is what we are talking about as an outside runner to give us complete chance of utilising our ruck and inside bulls class and dominance. Cerra would fit the bill nicely I MO as long as he hits thescoreboard. ( Probably wouldn't fit him in our salary cap unfortunately)

Why try inventing when we have already used JJ Harmes and Sparrow plus cameos from Kossie . Let the players shine in their best positions and when Jack returns the selectors will make their intents public.

Why ? they have had their figures publicised throughout this season in many forums and that figure absolutely reflects the truth. However I believe It resembles their over confidence ( maybe old arrogance) in their supporters expectations for 2021. I think whoever coaches them should expect genuinely to be above 9th no matter what in 2022.

We all remember what happened the last time at Optus Stadium that Joel Smith was preferred in the backline to another player after very limited games in the AFL as preparation for that game! No visible improvement to any form at AFL standard since. Now as a forward it might be worth a gamble!!!

AWST (not AEST !!!)

How big should the GrandxFinsl crowd be tipped at 60 or 70 or 75 or 85,000 At the MCG ??? phillip from Brisbane 57 year member

AFL website in the top section Round Centre with all the results. Move the options to News and Video and the 4 quarters are divided up separately.. Fox also have it on 504 on Thursday some time. Check the program.

Didn't mention any thing about playing at Geelong. If they end up 2nd and we are 3.Rd then we play either at GMBHA or the G BUT YOU wrongly asserted we could play the next week in WA at Optus which we can't as we would be the higher up team. AFL are very cognisant re erosion of rights of teams in any ground changes etc.

A wonderful player and person from our glory days. There are a number now that we still can make their memories so much more cherished in their later years. R.I.P. No 4 John Lord.

Wrong If we finish 6th we play 7th at home (ie Victoria) You are bringing yourself insane by wrong details. Cool a bit!!

Round22.

It's not the games but perhaps the travel but a light week can make the players more ball hungry.

No wonder we are third on the ladder and one of the real chances for the flag for the first time in 21 years. If it doesn't happen this year we have the list at such a stage that any time within the next 5 years it could be just as possible.
