Throw Christian to the lions

We’ll be leaning into learnings…

Seems like you’ve read bits of it. If accidental/careless/reckless act doesn’t result in concussion then what?

Don’t think he was that great around the ground. Gee we miss LJ…

Grew up in a pub. Always had a go. Never let a good story be spoiled by facts. A true entertainer.

It’s Gross to split up the Whitlock twins

This is lathering it on a bit thick

Essendon are a bunch of ruck-knuckles.

Yes we agree here. Unsurprisingly positive goal difference is also highly correlated with winning… Maybe high metres gained correlates with using the boundary more (our older style) since longer metres gained due going wide against oppo going straight? I’m just not sure as a team stat what insight we gain from it.

I would have thought difference in metres gained can only be due to 3 things: Team goal difference - reset to centre 4 x random events - where the ball was at the end of the quarter relative to the centre. Noise - measurement error, bias, not measuring straight up and down the ground, etc Metres gained generally need to be lost by the other side? Basically should correlate with goal difference and not add much?

Yes he was diagnosed with concussion and will miss 12 days/2 games as mandatory precaution. Don’t think he lost consciousness though.

Didn’t knock him out, surprisingly broke his nose but appeared unintentional contact. Probably should have got the same as Heeney - both off or both one week.

Karma. Wasn’t Heeney smiling on TV when he marked over Trac, cracking the first rib and tickling his spleen…

What if their ruck isn’t ticklish?

Worse, the round 0 winner was out of 4 games…. But, doesn’t really compromise the award though. Yes you need to be nominated to win, but an early/sneaky nomination won't win you the whole thing.
