Time to go Oscar!
The number of one percenters tells us little about their quality. As I understand it, one percenters officially include knock-ons, spoils, smothers, and shepherds although coaches also use a number of other measures when they speak of one percenters. Only knock-ons specifically have a team advantage requirement built in to their definition. According to the stats I can find Oscar chalked up 4 one percenters v Adelaide (I presume mostly/all spoils however no data I found had the individual one percenter stats listed). Spoils can be a dangerous thing. He also had 4 clangers (gives possession directly to the opposition), 9 kicks and 2 handballs (63.63% DE by my math but afl.com.au have him at 72.7%), 8 uncontested possessions with 3 contested, 3 marks, 2 frees against (0 for) and 3 tackles @ 95% time on ground. For what it's worth his afl fantasy and supercoach scores were 46 and 38 (84 total). Only Spargo and Hannan totalled lower (83, 75) however adjusting their scores up to Oscars time on ground puts Spargo at 114 and Hannan at 86. Oscar needs to adapt, and quickly, because I think Goodwin rates resilience as highly as 'hardness'.

What to do with Bruce Mcaveney
The red button. It used to be a thing on Fox many moons ago and it was bliss. Sadly too many people used it so it was canned.

AFLW on the main board
It's very easy to set up your account to see every new post on the site. Exposure would increase on the initial posting but afterwards it would mostly just get buried beneath AFL posts. I think organic growth from a dedicated section is best long term.

Gotta love the media outlets that couldn't be bothered using any of the multitude of cleanskin images of Pert a 5 second internet search provides but rather decided that Collingwood sponsers deserved more exposure.- Current Television
I watched the first season of 'Future Man' recently. Bite sized episodes (~26 minutes) of crass, cringe-worthy excellence! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4975856/videoplayer/vi1185265689?ref_=tt_ov_vi- Nuggets' Music Videos

Really pleased with his year. It was either a most improved thread or most looking forward to seeing this year type thread where I thought Billy might surprise us versus other expected performances (eg Trac).- Nuggets' Music Videos
A wacky wideo for some electro swing a friend put me onto:- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB โ JAKE MELKSHAM
Playing thread catch up, but I had to comment on the bolded. It's a line I've heard numerous times today and it grates each time. Footy is a professional team sport and it has internal pressures just like all the rest of the team-based WADA signatories do. In fact I'd assert that pressures in the international team-based WADA compliant sports far exceeds that of the average AFL club. By willfully withholding information from ASADA (before we even get to the 'what were they injected with' question) the players have/had already cheated the most fundamental aspect of the governing anti-doping system. Melksham.. not ideal.- WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JOEL SMITH
