    Derwyane is unlistenable. Every action, no matter how ordinary or basic, is described using a superlative.

    Neville Jetta has had 9 possies in each of the last two games and has gained a total of 7 metres. Interesting stat.

    We are getting a bit maudlin aren't we guys?

    Those academy players are really a gift to the Swans over the last few years and even though he hasn’t played yet, Jamara UH the number 1 draft pick given to a finals side last year is another gift.
  5. The real stat is “effective hit outs”. Meaningless hit outs to a contest are just that, meaningless, unless for example a centre square hit out is smashed into our forward line, where the contest might be a one on one contest, between say Tracc and a hbflanker. That hit out gives you an immediate chance of scoring. We need to be smart the way Max plays. He is a huge asset if used to advantage. I think we waste a lot of Max’s first hands to the ball.
  6. Actually looks like BB has trimmed his hair. He is serious.

    5 goals could change that stat.

    Sparrow is improving and stays in IMO.
  9. His father was a top junior.

    It is strange, as he could be given a couple of centre stoppages each quarter, without overtaxing him.

    I am personally always willing to give any player time to show they have the talent, or to get over injuries, to get back to their best, before labelling them as a delist/trade etc.

    Not me. Gus is a shadow of the player he was. Slow, poor disposal, hardly gets the ball.
  13. Can’t blame the coach for the dropped marks, mis kicks, shocking handballs and pathetic goal kicking. Should be 6-8 goals up and home. Waiting for the Saints top last quarter to steal the game.

    Good post. Agree getting his shots on the left side for a left footer is not easy. Missing a few that he should kick though. Probably lacking confidence as well.

    Me too. I also hoped someone took him on to see what would happen.

    And clearly at Geelong if you are the Cats coach, you are allowed to approach the other team and incite them. What would have happened if one of the Lions had a go at him. Great look for Junior coaches watching. Go and abuse the other team. No guts AFL will do nothing.

    Possibly its that, but not even first 6 rounds have not come up and someone else said their's has.

    Nothing new. Trengove. ANB. Moloney. 3 stunning decisions. The worst was Moloney, who Tribunal saw and admitted, never made contact.
  19. Redleg replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Cats modus operandi. Scott always comments before the Tribunal.

    The guy had gotten rid of the ball and was looking downfield. Danger came in from the side. He could have grabbed him, pushed him or done nothing as he didn't have the ball and wasn't expecting blind side contact. Danger chose to bump. The one thing he shouldn't have done. He broke the guys nose and knocked him out. Graded as severe, as that is the only one available with those injuries. Yes, the head bump was probably accidental, however that is exactly what they are trying to stop. Danger knows that better than any other player, as President of the Player's association. They have been told countless times, bump and you are responsible for any head knock, deliberate or accidental. No excuse whatsoever under the rules. All hell will break out if he doesn't get the right whack, minimum 3 weeks. ANB got 4 weeks in a 17 game season for swinging a player to the ground with one arm held. That player got concussed mildly. This is a far worse injury, from an act that the AFL is telling players to avoid if possible. Watch 60 minutes last sunday on CTE deaths and suicides.

    My AFL fixture is not syncing to my calendar on my IPhone. I can't work it out. Any ideas?
  22. Watch the second quarter and see what he did. Do that consistently for four quarters and he is a regular.

    "MELBOURNE forward Alex Neal-Bullen has been rubbed out for four games, with the AFL Tribunal coming down hard on a sling tackle that concussed Adelaide youngster Will Hamill on Wednesday night. Neal-Bullen pinned one of Hamill's arms while slinging him into the turf, with the first-year Crows player groggily coming from the field where he was unable to return to the game after suffering a concussion. The incident was referred directly to the AFL Tribunal by the Match Review Officer, who deemed the impact of the tackle as 'severe' in a grading that normally determines a minimum penalty of a three-match ban." So "severe" is a 3 week minimum. ANB only pinned one arm and the player got up and walked off. Ask Kelly if he would have preferred the ANB tackle and result, to the one he suffered and we know the answer. As Lucifer's Hero said above ANB got 4 weeks in a 17 game season which equates to 5 games this year.

    Then 2 is a lock.
