  1. Both, again, costs another goal
  2. Casey hopeless defending the transition and the scramble ball in front of goal.
  3. And another to #36. Came to play with Goody watching on...
  4. Tim Smith marking is good, goal kicking is atrocious. saw more from Jeffy in that quarter than the whole game last week. Looks like he is having a dip. for Drunkn, Kielty working well. Good contested mark on the wing. I would Def keep him on the list. Even try a bit of relief rucking as well? Casey 3.3 to 2.2.

    We don’t care who wins tonight’s “disappointment cup”, do we??
  6. 2:10 on Sat suggests it will be. Hope we put on better showing than last week
  7. Gillis trouser plumb. It swings in the breeze and comes up with a number. When he starts feeling exited, the ‘bloods’ are pumping all the way!
  8. That’s an argument well made. I payed close attention on the replay and thought he did ok, without being great, or stinking it up. Did his job. Agree there is no one to drop him for atm. Would be a nice problem to have.
  9. It’s one of those “Without knowledge, I am an expert” statements, like: Spargo needs a rest. Fritsch needs a rest Jeffy should play even though he stank it up in the twos cam Pederson is the answer etc etc. bugg worked hard and got lots of ball, but his turnovers were disastrous. Not just bad, absolute shockers. He would not be on my team sheet, unless AVB or Kent didn’t come up.

    I’m a fan of satire. Well done to the OP. only GCNever or Bluesyoulose. No one else is shithouse enough to improve by having him.
  11. Seven hiring BT. Biggest commentary blooper ever

    Just trying to find a way to make the sanctions meaningful. Sin bins are not the tradition of the game, but a 2k fine to someone on 750k is not even a slap on the wrist. How can appropriate pressure be applied that teams would hate to receive? MC doesn’t want to cause carnage, so the league should not give him choice

    I think they should take rotations off teams with infringers. What about 3 rotations per $1000 fine, and 5 rotations per week suspended? Would cut a huge amount of crap out of the game if it impacted the team next week. as for carnage, Christiansen is weak as a diabetics [censored].
  15. If the game was rigged, I would have thought the umpires would have found lots of free kicks to stop their run of goals that led to them getting in front. That would have been the time to intervene. Conversely, there were opportunities to find players encroaching space or the mark to march a player 50. There were some misses both ways - Vanders defensive spoil let to a goal and was a terrible free kick. Oscar should have given a free away on 50 after his dropped mark and hatching the pill. 'Rigged' is not what I saw in this game. Go to the Port Demons game for a better example of 'Rigged'.
  16. We can celebrate as hard as we want. We beat the dog [xxxxx] in WA, his old mob before he took the cash to go to Carlton. We can also celebrate as hard as Carlton will celebrate getting a priority pick, maybe a bit harder. This DESERVED celebration. To not celebrate is unrealistic and not acknowledging the heartache of supporters over many years. Go Hard, and Juddy - F off.
  17. He is playing a different role. He pushed back hard a few times into D50 and stopped the one over the back that has cost us throughout the year. He also delivered some beaut passes and was part of the chain that led to Melky getting the goal to get the lead back. He got caught out as a defender a few times, but I’m not sure he has ever trained there. He has done more than enough, and certainly played a team first role on the weekend.
  18. Goody gave a hint at the start of the year when he tried weid, Hogan and TMAc up front. Weid needed more development, so wasn’t ready. Imagine these three, all with good tanks, roaming from the wings forward, rotating one or two out in the 50, with the other being the hit up mark. Having 3 strong contesting players blocking kickout channels, and taking it in turns to rest Gawny in the ruck? Making teams have to cover a range of options, not just triple teaming Paul every time he is in the forward line. Pup tent in trousers territory, that.

  20. Not necessarily. Think that there is the for and against points columns. If they are on 120%, then the ratio is For:Against = 1.2:1. If they get a score that is more that 1.2:1, then their percentage can go up. If they win, but get less, this can go down. So, consider a match score 126 points to 100: this is 126% However, at the end of a long season, 1903:1514 is their current percentage of 125.6% 2026:1614 (126:100 victory) would give them a percentage of 125.5% . Ther size of the against number also has an impact on the outcome. So a 126:50 win is a 252% win, and their percentage goes up to 129.5%. Late in the season you need big results to gain or lose moderate percentage amounts.
  21. Spargo was actually pretty good. I agree that Trac had a quietish game. I would have given Spargo more votes head to head. Oliver is an absolute gem. Fritta had an average game, although he played some important moments (running back into the back 50 to slow the Eagles fast break) Weidemann did really well - applied pressure, took some marks, made contests. Think he did more than enough to hold his place. No change, unless someone pulls up too sore. Most even umpiring I have seen in a Perth match - can we have these guys as ins for next week too?
  22. Did anyone suggesting Bugg watch him yesterday? Complete turnover merchant. He would have to do considerably better to get a look in.
  23. Goody said it was about if it was a mark or not.
  24. Awesome. When we were behind, we shut it down, won the contest and won the game. We even knew how to ice it. Lessons learned and demonstrated
  25. And that doesn’t tell the tale of it. Bugg was instrumental in turning the ball over to their advantage or score more than anyone. looks like stats for half a game...
