  1. How long is Jack's contract? IMO he won't be playing AFL in 2020.
  2. Petracca vs De Goey https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&pid1=4041&fid1=S&playerStatus2=A&tid2=5&pid2=4043&fid2=S&type=A Tracking similarly. Given out scoring options it is reasonanble to suggest we rely less on Trac kicking goals, and so therefore he is given fewer opportunities to score than De Goey. Trac wins in CP, rebound 50s, intercepts and metres gained. De Goey in goals, i50s, and score involvements. This tells us Trac is playing more of a defensive role, De Goey more an attacking role. Is the effectiveness of a midfielder-swingman determined exclusively on their scoreboard impact? I think Trac is have a very solid year. As is De Goey.
  3. On top of that, as much as I hate to say it, but Collingwood has been stupendous in its support and handling of the event.
  4. If it's anything like what I've heard of similar camps, it's probably to do with them cutting off access to family members and spouses. All of the murmurs from inner sanctums I've heard about disgruntled players appear to be centred around a complete disregard for player wellbeing, and the mental wellbeing of their loved ones (who apparently are given no indication of when or where the players are going). I get the importance of intense training, but there is no place in the universe where football takes priority over family and well being.
  5. He was very disappointing and slow today. No way to argue against that. But so was half the team. But it did stand out a few times particularly in the second half, where he appeared to be running in second gear. I can't tell if it's just the type of player he is, or if the game has passed him by. He appeared to be moving in slow motion.
  6. Fancy Cox being the difference lmao. New recipient of the Kent Kingsley Award For Spuds That Play Well Against Melbourne. And perhaps the best one yet.
  7. 6.2 to our 4.3 that quarter. Very disappointing. Lewis has been awful. Doesn't earn his paycheck against good opposition. We still can't play the MCG. Without Jetta Hibberd and Salem, this would be a 70 point loss. Which it might still be. This smells like the Hawthorn game all over again.
  8. we need to outscore them this quarter and then it's game on.
  9. Bad umpiring but collingwood is playing considerably better so it wouldn't matter. 5-6 goal better side atm. at least.
  10. In two minds about Stretch. Has talent no doubt but seems like your standard "good VFL player" for mine. Pedo is clearly a league above at that level, Stretch gets the job done but I don't think he's AFL quality.
  11. Statistically we're very similar. We streak ahead in contested ball and scoring, but aside from that we have near identical strengths and weaknesses. This is a 50/50 contest.
  12. I always see them around Essendon area. There was one for the Richmond game and one for the North Melbourne game.
  13. Where though? He could maybe slot into Carlton's midfield.
  14. Sure you're not confusing him with Garland or Rivers vs Essendon in 2012?
  15. It was an even 40 point margin. That first quarter wasn't bad. Crows just went on a run and we couldn't stop it. It was ultimately an even game overal, they just got in top in the last. We timed our run too early.
  16. fine. give them QB. Then we get a home MCG game against Essendon (for once), or a Friday night game against Richmond later in the season. They lose their corresponding home game when they play Essendon, Carlton or Richmond for a second time like they always do. It's only fair.
  17. They're a vile bunch at Pies land. In one post that I found among 7+ pages on Bigfooty, they are certain of a win. One post highlighted that both teams have lost to the same teams, and both have dealt with lower placed teams as they should. Same post acknowledged we a contested ball winning side and they will have a big challenge. The rest is a combination of cheese platter and snow jokes, mixed with the ignorant "they haven't beaten anyone", despite Collingwood having a similar (but not as good) record. Exhausting to read.
  18. Lewis and Vince are both having a very good season.
  19. Club suspects bone bruising. Sent him immediately for scans.
  20. Every time either team gets momentum, the umpires halt it with a soft free.
