I wouldn't take too much notice of DE% between, say, 60 and 80. But if one player is on 90% and another on 30%, it either says something about different roles (e.g. outside v extractor), or that one really is a poor disposer.

Definitely not a SPAngled dRonGO.

The Age game day blog said Sparrow was subbed off. Close enough to Spargo apparently.

Undermining Collingwood is my favourite thing. 😄 Gee, it must be hard for you to accept that perfection is unachievable. Listen to Justin Longmuir on AFL360 tonight, when he says that players will always make mistakes, and that it's how they handle them and recover from them that is the true measure of a player and a team.

I think their list is over-rated. They have three elite players: Curnow, Weitering and Cripps. McKay should be but has the yips, Docherty is OK, but the rest are average.

Fremantle supporters could not possibly blame the umpires for the loss. 😄

I don't think there's one player in the Bulldogs backline that I'd choose (type for type) over May, Lever, Petty, Salem, Rivers, Bowey and McVee.

If the game is "sold out", and the ground holds 100,000, but they're "expecting 90,000", what happens to the other 10,000 seats?

One day, in an alternate reality universe, Kozzie will get a free for a head-high tackle.

The Wednesday Footy Classified is the very bottom of the barrel, mainly because Eddie never shuts up.

So retaliation works, does it? Like JVR giving away a goal. I'd much rather retaliate on the scoreboard.

The sky is a little bit cloudier, but it's not falling in.

They were unlucky that the infringement was given when the ball was in Sydney's forward line. In Sydney's back line it might have been a different result.

The Pies are playing Carlton, North Melbourne and WCE in their next three games. That'll be three wins.

Port knew to put two or three players directly behind the pack May was kicking to, to either receive the ball knocked outover the top or the contested ball they won when it was fed out to them.

We kicked 7 goals in the wettest quarter of the match.

I'd be more worried about playing on Viney. ☺️

‘Yarta’ means place or land and ‘Puulti’ means sleep or death. Let's hope its PA doing the sleeping or dying.

Brown's not selected, even as an emergency.

Anticipated #1 draft pick Harley Reid looks suspiciously like someone's little brother.

He gets a few by kicking out after a behind and getting a handball receive when he runs past a player who's taken a mark.

No, but I think some supporters should see the long game. We are banking 50-point wins @ 200% against poorer opposition to provide our best players with lower TOG to preserve them for the long season. The season is a marathon, not a sprint, and a premiership is the objective rather than a 100+ point win along the way. Remember 2022? It wasn't that long ago.

As a contrast, the Age report had him in the best with the description "Ed Langdon was everywhere on the wing and applied relentless defensive pressure".

It's 24 stories down in the latest news: "Young Dee learns fate in suspension appeal". 😀

I also hate seeing such lengthy shots of players being helped off injured or getting treatment, when you are wondering what is happening in the game.
