@WalkingCivilWar - with it being a Hawthorn home game is the DA at the Punt Road end or the Ponsford end. Do Hawthorn take the Ponsford end for home games like Collingwood? I want to set at the DA end.

You mean like GPS data, turnover stats and goal assist stats?

IMHO Retain Disco with Petty forward. Hibberd in, Gus to the midfield rotation and JJ to the sub (nothing against James Harmes who I think has been a good sub the last two weeks) J.Smith for JVR if he doesn't get off - may as well have a look at him forward at this stage. But that means Harmes, Spargo, Laurie and Salem don't have match play this week ... BBB and TMac too, but maybe they can both benefit from a(nother) week off

I think we want to fire our best shot in these games against Collingwood and Geelong this is the time to see if it works, and if it does - have them worrying about how to combat us while we can come up with more innovation for finals.

Cheers. I want to look a bit more at numbers of stoppages per game - a quick look gives about 80, vs. number of turnovers received per game - again looks about 80 but I did see a couple of games with 60s (not MFC games). If stoppages and turnovers are roughly equal then as @binman posted, scoring from turnovers looks more fruitful. I also note that we're playing Hawthorn this week who concede the biggest scores from turnovers. Heaviest scorer vs biggest conceder. That could be interesting.

Thanks very much @WheeloRatings. Is this data available in the public domain or are you buying it specifically off Champion Data?

Does the ruckman get a tap out stat and tap out to advantage stat when he takes the ball out of the air?

@A F @WheeloRatings - where can I find team stats for scores from turnover, scores from stoppages?

Interesting that the score review can't pay a holding call against Mihocek, that's what the video clearly shows.

1.15 - Yeah except it's at weather affected Marvel Stadium ...

You're not Robinson Crusoe with this allusion, but really - have a think about it, it's time it was consigned to the dustbin.

No doubt it was "us" and "we" in September 2021

"Front-on contact" because JVR's running with the flight of the ball. Unless he can see through the top of his head, his eyes are looking forward in the direction he's running. There's low, medium, high and severe impact. Ballard got carried off on a stretcher and didn't come back on, that's "high" impact. FWIW Chol's impact on Bowey was "medium" and he should get a week too.

I don't get why people think JVR won't be suspended. https://www.afl.com.au/video/919868/injury-blow-for-suns-as-ballard-gets-stretchered-off? I love his general attack on the contest but in this instance he overstepped the line. Front-on contact, eyes not on the ball (yes he glances up early to anticipate the ball drop but from then on he's looking towards Ballard) - that's careless, high contact with high impact. That's two weeks.

Thanks, great analysis. One update: North need an underline in the Essendon set.

Wow that is quite an advantageous difference.

Hunter is no doubt playing to instruction to move the ball quickly but he's lost pace and agility and can't do what he once could. He's still a useful smart player but he needs to play within his limitations of age now.

I loved JVR's attack on the contest in the air and on the ground all night but realistically he will be suspended, probably for multiple weeks. BBB will need to come in. I really liked the move of Petty back in the last quarter and Disco subbed but we need Petty to play forward again to provide the right contest there and therefore Disco back - Casboult was an ugly match up for him, Fergus Greene is more manageable. I think Hunter needs to play to his limitations. I can see Gus and JJ sharing that wing when Salem comes back if he doesn't. We might even see that this week with Hibbo back in.

Mitch White's kicking has been ordinary

Loving the commentary

Jed Adams has looked good - two strong contested marks in the past few minutes

Gold Coast have 20 listed AFL players (including 9 rookies) in that side all the way down to the bench where Josh Corbett, formerly listed AFL player is selected. That's a strong team.

closest I could get unfortunately ...

I thought it was in Aramanga https://villageinfo.in/odisha/puri/nimapada/amaranga.html Close but no cigar ...
