  1. Carlton's decision making and execution through the middle has been pretty ordinary. Turn it over a fair bit.
  2. Curnow is woeful at ground level. Looks lost higher up the ground as well.
  3. Nothing about Buckley is funny Dub
  4. Pies getting their turnover game together off HB the last few weeks. Bit of a worry
  5. Amazing first possession goal from Sullivan Blues are a hot mess this quarter
  6. Cox raises his mitt... "Look guys i have a stylish glove here"
  7. No but the umps certainly are.... all four of them
  8. Unusually generous of you WC
  9. Why do they all have stupid 'leave it to beaver' haircuts? (no offense Deeves). Especially the filth
  10. Hoping for a very fair, close and clean game. And may they smash each other into next year!
  11. Daytime (standard) red Sherrins are stained. The yellow night ball is not. It's painted as you can't stain leather yellow. The paint is then covered with some sort of protective coating, so it's inherently more slippery. Add some dew to that and you have a slippery little sucker on your hands. Grippo probably becomes even more important on nights like this. Some players like using it and others maybe not so much.
  12. Suspect WCW's been up burning the midnight candle Mr Fence...
  13. If there weren't so many NC! We are talking three other KFs plus Verral resting there for Fullo at times. Where do you put them all? BBB used to play some time high up the ground last season but can barely raise a gallop on the lead right now. FD probably wanting to see more of Fullo in his mostly HF role as it's early days. That leaves the Shack. I guess he could go back but that might make us too tall down back?
  14. I was until i realised it's my anniversary today. My lil storm cloud has other plans WCW! Kev is reliable 😁 & Andy up early!
  15. Looks can be deceiving Juice. Yes at the source he's been handy at getting the ball and pressure is VG. I'd def rate this side of his game so far in 24. With ball in hand however he is well below AFL average including ... > Kicking efficiency 44% (AFL ave is approx 64%). Sparrow for example, who most would not consider a great kick by any means (set shots & long set shots aside) is running at 66%. Viney, who is not often lauded for his kicking skills... 64%. Clarry another, who is often criticised for his kicking skills and who is way off his best (player rating down approx 33% so far vs 2023), kicking at 51% (his usual average is 56%) > Effective disposals 11 (AFL ave is approx 14) Sparrow, who is 4th in line behind our big three, averages 11. Clarry, having an ordinary year by his standards, still averaging 16 effectives (above average). Usual average for him is 20 (elite) I guess what i'm saying is i don't rate him as highly as some might. Having said that, i agree re not batting deep in the mid field, especially with Danger out. Their 'managing' of Parfit and O'Connor does smack of arrogance from Scott. The best answer from us is to make sure we smack them up in the middle and win on Sat night.
  16. Not saying this line up will be the one that runs out but, if it is, that forward line is overly stacked with at least one too many talls surely? Personally i think Jeffo would be better served doing a short apprenticeship behind the ball. Play him back-of- shoulder on some decent forwards that will take him to the ball more often. Swap him out for Moniz who, while still doing a decent job down back, is being left to rot on the vine here. Much better playing his natural small forward role who pushes up into the mid at times.
  17. The Crows are now a game and 6% ahead of Brissvegas
  18. JHF runs about 20 ....then gets caught red hot. Goes to ground. Play on 🤣
  19. Wow they won't free Butters. Took on two tacklers... spills the ball as he hits the ground. Too funny.
  20. Good player JHF but what a show pony stager
  21. Yes i suspect he's done that in the last few off seasons Roost. Looks to be in tip top condition.
