    Could have also gone with any of the following... "Full forward takes on the full vax" "Just this once, blokes rapt Darl changes mind" "Jack's vax backtrack wacks fullbacks, racks back stacks to tax" "Eagle's needles" I'll see myself out...

    If you don't know for sure, you shouldn't even bring it up (not that it would be appropriate either way mind you).

    Making accusations of drug taking about someone who has just passed away and then backing it up with 'oh but I don't know if it's even true' IS appalling in my books. Other factual posts about health issues were deleted in regards to hypothesizing about Warne's untimely demise, yet this kind of gutter rumour mongering is allowed to stay up. That's very poor.

    Bizarre that reasonable posts about potential health problems were deleted but this appalling stuff is left up.
  5. This is only short (and trigger warning for the posters that need it - It quickly covers a couple of those famous losses), but really well done and has a few new insights. https://www.afl.com.au/ondemand/stories/491019/season-final-story?episode=9&fbclid=IwAR1-44biAI8uOmjGELIxDvt48RQjerk_EgydgILoiKcGWkXKKNeb6vfGozg#season-1

    Not sure they'll be moving Gosch's after doing all the work on it, so can probs cross that part off. Also, not sure which off ramp you mean, but assuming the one coming off the SE Fwy onto Punt Rd? If so, I don't think it could be straightened given it involves being in the left lane and exiting to the right. What's the 'indoor hall'?
  7. Weird, it doesn't say "Kozzy's last 5 games"...
  8. You want to include praccy matches? Get serious mate. I literally did, and then you decided stats don't tell the story, but ok...
  9. Mate. It was a short sharp production about our premiership with a bit of context to how much it meant, not a 2 hour episodes, 10 season epic on every single aspect of our history...
  10. His last 5 performances in 2021... v Crows - 12 disposals (10 kicks), 4 marks, 1 goal, 5 tackles, 5 score involvements v Cats - 14 disposals, (12 kicks), 4 marks, 3 goals, 3 tackles, 7 score involvements v Lions - 7 disposals (6 kicks), 1 mark, 2 goals, 2 tackles, 3 score involvements v Cats - 13 disposals (9 kicks), 3 marks, 3 goals, 1 tackle, 6 score involvements v Dogs - 4 disposals (2 kicks), 0 marks, 0 goals, 3 tackles (all inside 50), 1 score involvement I'm interested as to which 4 games out of those you're classing as poor? Statistically I guess you could point to the Grand Final as a 'poor game', but his forward pressure as well as his blocking and shepherding were valuable contributions. If you want to do a purely stat-based comparison to his first 5 games it works out like this (average per game): First 5 Disposals: 9 Marks: 2 Goals: 1.6 Tackles: 3.6 Score Involvements: 7.4 Last 5 Disposals: 10 Marks: 2.4 Goals: 1.8 Tackles: 2.8 Score Involvements: 4.4
  11. Spooky! Almost like they could be related...
  12. Yep!

    I'm sure you'll get a bit of everything mate. How about you wait for the complaining until you've actually watched it? Just an idea.

    To tell the story properly you need to give the context to it. I love the 'redemption' tale and the whole Norm Smith Curse stuff, it makes for a fascinating back story to our incredible premiership. Much more so than just 'the Dees won heaps of games and then won the flag'...

  19. If your model is 2016 or earlier you'll have to search for "Freeview App" through the Samsung Hub/Store and download/install it.
  20. I agree, there definitely should be 50s for genuine abuse. IMO they set the bar too low for it in our game though.
  21. Actually thought the delay ones were fair tbh. Lingers has been taking the [censored] with that for a fair while and I hate it when players do that fake pointing thing to delay the game. The Oliver one has been an automatic 50 for as long as I can remember, honest mistake or not. I'm keen on cracking down on the delay of game ones. The 'abuse' ones in our game tho.... sheeesh... Hopefully the backlash and attention from our game will mean it will settle in before round 1. Always happens with new rules, I remember tons of 50s the start of last year when players standing the mark lost their balance, moved a foot slightly or sneezed, but that settled in after a while.
