10 coaches points vs Carlton BOG

I had to explain to my 10 year old what the C bomb was after a game sitting next to @Bitter but optimistic. Most unpleasant, though he claims his presence is "educational"...

I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment AW, we do need genuine forwards. But good teams also have goal kicking mids. Did you see the goal he kicked in the 1st quarter vs Carlton? Gets into good position. Who are our goal kicking mids currently? And where is this midfield depth in 2020? We have Oliver, Gus, Harmes, and the perennially injured Viney. Possibly it could be said Trac and Salem could run through the midfield, though Trac doesn't set the world on fire wherever he plays and Salem's best footy has been down back. Apart from that, it's a bunch of others who either are too young to know (2018 draftees, Spargo, Baker, Maynard), too old/injured to keep (Jones, AVB) or would struggle to get on a list elsewhere (Stretch, JKH, ANB). Our midfield depth is a myth imo. Dunkley would be in our best 5 mids.

Ah yes, another one to cross off in political bullsht bingo

Can I have some of the stuff you are on jumbo!!?

Of course I did. Don't be so condescending. And I watched his impressive 2016 finals. Stats are incredibly useful, clubs put a lot of time into gathering them. Do you not take any notice of numbers? Josh Dunkley is only 22. Had a ripper of a finals series in his first year at 19. He's a tackling, goal kicking mid that is still learning and from what I understand is very teachable. He averages nearly 6 tackles in his short career, ffs! He certainly wouldn't be our best mid, but offers more than many of our mids/small forwards, perhaps except Clarry, Gus, Harmes, Melk and Trac. Based on this year's form, it could easily be argued that he has more to offer than Viney. Of course he's different than Viney, not apples with apples. Dunkley would get a game in 2019 above Jones, Spargo, Jeffy, ANB, Stretch, JKH and Hannan. If he had more time in the f50 he would kick goals, something our mids and small forwards are not doing. His brother being at the club is of little relevance, other than a drawcard should we sound him out

Straight from the writers of Borat's 'Cultural Learning of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'

Really? Really?... 41 disposals, 10 tackles, 10 score involvements. ie. gets the ball, creates pressure and gives the ball off for scores I'd say he offers more than about half of our list. Josh Dunkley is a good footballer. We'd be lucky to get him.

If Carlton wins we would have pick #1 ?

Can I still take Biffen as my +1, Jaded?

I'm sure Buckley would've been near the bottom of such a ridiculous list before last year. Does a person's IQ change that dramatically over 18 months? Does it matter? Yeah, nah... Fagan has a brilliant football mind, whatever his IQ. I'd be much happier with the former rather than the later. Rating coach IQs is the ultimate in fan vanity. Nothing surprises me, though.

Er... this distressed whale? FREE WILLY!

You did notice the date on what you quoted, didn't you?

And just like that the average IQ in the Collingwood cheer squad doubled

Yes, he's like the council worker digging the hole while 10 of his co workers stand around watching!

Got a source for that LN?

Would really like this thread to be moved to the loony general board, alongside 'the moon is part of mars' thread. Thanks ?

Yes, assuming we get the pick right ?

We can trade our 2020 first rounder this year

Hasn't the tank yet. A few posted in the Casey thread thay he looked spent during the 3rd quarter. This seems to happen every game he plays. Remember he's only 23 and played no Aussie rules until he was 17, so he's still learning. However, Tmac looks so out of form that Preuss to 3/4 time is certainly looking like an attractive option. You have my vote Stormy

So you want Preuss to play the role that Spargo or Wagner plays? Just checking... I would think that Preuss should replace Tmac. If you don't want Spargo or Wagner to play (btw i agree and I'd add Jeffy to that list), who at Casey can we pick to do their rolls?

We could be bottom of the ladder this time next week

Stop following me Rangey

A lot of high scores in that era. 150 points wasn't uncommon. There were a couple of 200+ too
