Sorry Uncle... who was that again?

DOF if you're still there can you ask Choco where Harmes is at pls ... cheers

The other thing about the Blues... just their general pressure. Bog ordinary all night without the pill. Would love to have seen the pressure acts count and the pressure ratings during parts of that game. 7 might've shown the ratings... might have missed it. The crows look good, especially with Tex / Fogarty being allowed to get so many one v ones (the Blues don't drop off and assist very well or often!). The Crows were also allowed to prance out of mid field alot under very low pressure hitting leads at will far too often. Crow's defence is also pretty leaky for mine.

Laurie had an excellent game at Casey last week and uaually goes ok in the wet. We wouldn't go with a forward line with four talls in shiiitefest weather surely?

Lever out is a real bugger. Our backline uaually struggles without one of wither him or May not playing. Tomo in to replace but he's not like for like. It"s a pitty Disco wasn't up & about as he may have been in the mix to replace if he had some games under his belt & in decent form.

Any sign of Harmes returning? Track watchers? Kev??

Blues defence 😬 Zone working well 🙄 Two way running / general effort 🤔 Selfless acts / Team first ethos 😵‍💫 No genuine (damaging) ruckman Bit of a dog's breakfast really but apparently they're top 4 material (or better!) if you believe half of the media hype.

Hilarious stuff from Dwayne I take whatever is said on SEN, 7 etc with a grain of salt. They're all beholden to their masters and the mega broadcasting contracts / $$ on offer. Tow the AFL line, always push / promote the big clubs (by number of members) and don't rock any boats! Very much a directed and muzzled bunch now. Anyone that speaks their mind is at risk. I wonder if Cooney's spot on 'Armchair Experts' is at risk after speaking his mind about concussion on that d'[censored] reality show lately (no i didn't watch it...saw him on a promo). Don't think Gil would've been too happy.

Great news. Important to keep as many premiership players still in their prime on the list. Next up Kozzy within approx two weeks

Weather forecast suggests armageddon during our match. Might be better to play Jordan as sub and bring him on for a tall if super ugly Tracc could then play more time forward once JJ is subbed in

Usually in the sand?

I didnt say 'who' was needing to visit spec savers It was more directed at those saying he looked 'off' on the weekend. Settle down peeps 🤪

A few posters have been to spec savers and a few might need to go. Statistically speaking he was our 2nd highest rated forward on Sunday behind Macca and apart from missing a few gettables he was in our top 10 rated players (ranked 8th) on the day. Easily in our top 5 based on averages so far this season. Roughly equal 4th with Reg Grundee.

Everyone!

It's opposite day baby!

Good song. Viney might start his own band after zero votes... Viney's Vitriol! First big hit... "No Votes Today"

If we go the Caulfield option we might even get a kick starter out of Diamond Joe and some of his business buddies. A bit of loose change... say $25 mill !

Good luck getting it from normal lending channels. Ppl i talk to on the gravy train say their usual business lending book has been cut by 50% (so far!) under instruction from the top brass. Credit squeeze is on

No love for Viney 🙄

Yes no arguments from me on the role play sit. Especially that of 2021! There's so much we arent privy to with role play/fitness/loads etc... Anything we.discuss is mostly pure speculation in most cases yes?? 😂 It's too early to be making calls on any player's form anyway imv. Sometimes their form can turn around in one week as we saw with Viney against WC and they're off to the races with everyone quickly forgetting about a few early season (seemingly) out-of-character performances (whether marginal or otherwise).

Tentative in a physical contact/tackling sense maybe? Tackle average down 40% on 2021 (3.68 to 2.19) Looking at meters gained (average) he was up a massive 80% on 2021 though with 410 (2022) vs 227 (2021). Extra meters gained might also be a product of role being asked and/or ground position (kick ins from the square/lateral kicks around the back)? Seemed to play in the defensive 50 a fair bit more during 2022 and potentially a fair degree less down the attacking end.. Average Rebounds 2021 0.36 2022 5.57 Inside 50s 2021 2.59 2022 2.14 Goals (accuracy might have been off though...would need to check shots at goal!) 2021 1.59 2022 0.10

His turnover average (so far) is down 35% on last season's average. Meters gained (-40%) & inside 50s (-66%) also substantially down though. Not a big clearance role/player but marginally down here also (-24%) Slight change of role or maybe going lateral / backwards a bit more? FWIW... tackles (+8%) and score involvements (+11%) marginally up. Whatever that means.
