    Underside of his upper arm connects, as his fist is trying to connect with ball. Jonathan Brown has said a suspension would be the worst tribunal decision ever. Pretty strong.

    Damian Barrett is an absolute idi-t. He said on the Sunday Footy Show this morning, after Cornes, Stevie J and Nathan Brown with TJ also agreeing, said that JVR has absolutely nothing to worry about for a football act, Barrett said you can do something legal and still be In trouble and suspended and that he will get a week. Am I missing something, or is he a moron? Is football now ballet?
  3. We actually turn over possession a lot in the centre and at stoppages. We get first hands to the ball and fumble or handball poorly. Not sure why that is happening so much. Imagine how much better we would be with better ball handling and disposal.

    It’s not so much the commentary, which is often inane, but rather the picking and choosing of what they show.

    Can you tell me what they were for. I have no idea, as they weren't replayed.
  6. Whatever we do, we need an experienced key forward playing with JVR. We only have two. One is injured and both are near the end.

    Everyone loves a conspiracy theory. With Dunstall and Derwayne openly barracking for the Suns, it was interesting that every time they said there should have been a Suns free or an incorrect free was paid to the Dees, the incident was replayed a couple of times and dissected by the commentators. However, contentious frees and goals paid to the Suns were totally ignored and no replay to show the incident/decision was seen. I had absolutely no idea why several frees and resultant goal decisions were paid to the Suns. How does this happen repeatedly in a game that is so heavily televised with multiple cameras? How many times was the JVR spoil on Ballard repeated? It seemed to be extremely selective vision and replays. Just a bit of fun for post game discussion, easier of course when you win.
  8. Very hard to compare players of different generations and I loved Robbie, my favourite player by a mile and a friend. That is why I chose my words about Clarry carefully.
  9. Oliver is one of the best players this club has ever had. He is probably the best contested possession player in the club’s history. Anything less than BOG, is seen as an ordinary performance.
  10. There was less than nothing in it. A normal football act of spoiling a mark and Ballard fell and bumped his head, giving him a sore neck. I thought Chol should have been reported on the spot for his dangerous act of belting a smaller player in the jaw, from behind, with a round arm. That is a suspension but I expect very little.
  11. It’s a result of having a better team and therefore heightened expectations. But yes, a win when we aren’t playing our best is a good result.
  12. Now they are trying to get JVR suspended saying his eyes weren’t on the footy the whole time. Not bad calling where his eyes are, looking from behind through the back of his head. Some in the media should be ashamed of their performance in their job, of not reporting news, but rather trying to create it.
  13. Turner found it hard against the big body of Casboult, but improved when he moved off him, before being subbed. He looks like once he puts on some more muscle, he will be a regular for us. He is a nice user of the ball as well.
  14. JJ - every possession effective AFL stats says on for 65% of game with 17 possies at 88% efficiency. I still say he was 100% effective.
  15. Not only that, instead of looking for a loose man and a mark which wins the game, when he kicks to the left, he didn’t run out as far as he could, making it a good two kicks from them scoring, but kicked it from close to the kick off line. We do some dumb things.
  16. If we make a GF and Cats are the opponent I would instruct the boys to somehow get Cameron out of the game early, legally of course!!!!

    Playing at the Cattery on the best forward in the game and you lose your full back. That doesn’t help. Danger now off. That may help.
  18. Well he has lost some of whatever mobility he had.
  19. Redleg replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I don’t think the Tigers like the G either.
  20. Yes Jed is definitely improving and a full season at Casey and another pre season will definitely help his development.
  21. TMac injured didn’t play and BBB better but has lost mobility.
  22. Correct. Those two clowns commentated to amuse themselves. I think I heard a pearler from them, when one said, " I think the best way to get a clearance is to have the ball" and then another was " when kicking for goal it's best to kick accurately". Getting back to White, I have never seen him play worse or kick worse. Hopefully it was just a bad day. I thought our best were Laurie, Howes, Woey and Tomlinson.
  23. White adds another, to make it last 5 kicks turned over. He has tackled well but kicked horribly. Maybe he has a sore foot.
  24. Mitch White gives it straight to Suns again. 4 times in a row. What is going on with him? If they lose this, which is looking likely, they can blame their disposal and kicking for goal. It has been pathetic.
  25. Absolutely. Field and goal kicking abysmal. The Captain has been the worst, his last 3 kicks have given the ball straight to the Suns. Joel Smith’s kicking for goal has been terrible.
