whatwhat say what

not many finals wins merrett has played in, and definitely no premiership or norm smith medals in his locker merrett is a better kick but not a better player

hoping for: crom bears gw$ flagmantle in week 1 no faith in any of em

putting a full stop to proceedings, eh?

This sounds like you could swap in Curnow for Papley and the sentence would still be true

the hawks player? from memory his broken leg was pretty nasty, has had further complications

that was pretty much my thought too i don't think correlation necessarily equates to causation, but... it can't be WHOLLY independent of each other, can it?

in fairness to him, when tc has been dominant verrall has barely got on the field as we have have tall forward options when campbell hasn't been the starting vfl ruckman, he's been okay not great...but okay

i'll take winning ugly over losing any day

oh, but surprise, surprise another free to them filth win with a goal after the siren another miss, and dees hold on to win by +4 points and -4 free kicks

what a surprise, a free to the filth directly in front and the footy gods never lie; miss

mcnamara with a HUGE tackle

bannon and hore both massive grabs

how is that not holding the ball ffs

pisano needs to get a lot fitter

be nice to kick a goal for a change

push straight in the middle of harris' back; no free paxy has brought her own ball today

the amount of spoils and smothers they're executing is really annoying

shelley heath down into the rooms for an hia

hot start dees - important in these conditions

paxy is such a smart decision maker

another rigoni in #43!

i think you forget how good jvr was for casey as a teen in his first year have faith, he'll come back to form at afl level

we have definitely transitioned away from the bomb-to-gawn-on-the-wings style of returning the ball from behinds style of play it is still used on occasion, but nothing like as often as 2020-2023 - of course, that was also the successful period of goodwin's reign! @WheeloRatings - do you have stats on who returns the ball for kick-ins, and whether they go long / short etc.?

love this i often wonder whether the 'go dees' car that's often parked on tooronga rd belongs to someone on this board

all will be revealed by december i guess
