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.

See you all there. Looking forward to the match and will probably have a look at the Perth Demons v South Fremantle on the Saturday (Current coach: Earl Spalding).- ROUND 19 - Non MFC games
Theatre. If a player threw the ball up like that at any other part of the ground it wouldn't go up 5cm before being called a throw. If a defender did it they'd be laughed out of the league.- ROUND 19 - Non MFC games

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

Coaching directives could also be at play here. We've had trouble stopping opposition run-ons and it's less costly to attempt to improve on our tempo control when we have a decent lead.- Our Failure to Crush Teams
Perhaps our manic running and heavy contested work doesn't allow for it yet? In those new stats we're generally as a team travelling further and faster than our opposition. One aspect anyway.- THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
