    Spargo and Turner were in rehab group but didn’t do much. AMW told me he hopes to play this week. Also said he thought we would challenge Kossie’s ban.

    Hunter looked very proppy. Might have re-injured himself. Chandler looked in doubt this week with his right knee.

    This is the point of impact. The elbow was clearly down and tucked by his side. A raised elbow would mean the contact was with the elbow or forearm, not bicep.

    He was charged with Rough Conduct not Striking, as would have been the case had he raised the elbow.
  5. Fat Tony
    He didn’t lift the elbow. It was by his side.

    The concept of using “potential to cause injury” to alter the level of “impact” of the charge has more holes than Swiss cheese. The case could fail at the corrupt MRO, but I reckon the chance at appeal is decent.

    Anderson is not a lovely chap. He was responsible for initiating the tanking investigation. He is no friend of the MFC.

    Raised his elbow? He tucked his arm in to his side just as he was taught at Auskick to protect his vital organs and shoulder. The force of the collision was significantly due to Soligo's momentum forwards.

    I am still not sure what players are meant to do in this instance. Pickett jumped pretty much straight up in response to the handball. His action to tuck his elbow in is required to protect vital bodily organs. Should he leave himself open and cop three broken ribs like Steven May. I don't see it as a careless act at all.

    I doubt we are trying to change our approach that much from last year. We are kicking a fractionally more centrally through centre half forward and less to the pocket inside attacking 50, which reduces the chances of re-entry I think our forward pressure has been down due to Ben Brown and Petty coming into the forward line. We have lost centre clearance by -5 in the last two games. Clarry is a liability in the centre bounce at the moment due to injury. The inside 50 count was also lost against Port in part due to our accuracy (no repeat entries after a goal). We also kicked well to outperform expected score against Hawthorn and Bulldogs.

    Pickett looked to jump up and land in the same spot rather than towards the player with the ball. Hard to argue he has done a lot wrong IMO.

    I would love to see the insufficient intent free statistics at Adelaide Oval. It only ever gets paid one way!

    The Crows were ferocious at home against the Cats but were stupid with their entries inside 50. We will need to treat this game like a final in terms of intensity.
  14. Fat Tony
    We were the better team against the Dogs and Hawthorn and played well but the margins flattered us. I think we can and probably will win against the Crows but I wont be betting on it this week.

    We have had 3 games in a row where we have significantly outperformed the expected scores through goal kicking, indicating our form is not as strong as we think. And we are coming off a 5-day break and playing against a team with their season in peril. I am a bit nervous about this one.

    They need to put much more water on the grounds early in the season (especially in Perth). Way too many knee injuries.

    Hunter might challenge Langdon for the other wing role. And Windsor has the tools to play Bowey's high half back role or Billings's high half forward role.

    I see more Connor Rozee in Windsor than Lachie Whitfield. He is better inside that we expected and a good but not perfect kick. He has excellent hands and great decision making. He definitely looks an inside midfielder with more muscle.
  19. Fat Tony
    They still owe us for Scott Thompson.

    The Crows got Friday night!

    Last time Viney played a milestone game was rather enjoyable!
  23. Fat Tony
    I’m confident we will get an especially brutal performance tonight from the Demons!

    I have 4 tickets for Gather Round for the Adelaide v Melbourne game. PM me if you are interested.

    Surely it would have been smarter to wait until later in the season to make this deal.
