Demon Dynasty

Yes there is that. Over ran one today also but its going to happen occasionaly when you're a whippet!

JVR is so close to being ready. Possibly just the body / strength in a one v one contest and the legs to run out a game. Crazy leap and has no fear like many a young fella. Wasn't just his aerial stuff today though. Did some VN work in traffic on a few occasions today and worked hard to get on the end of a few on the overlap. Plenty of work ahead of course but developing very nicely. Reminds me just a tad of Robbo in terms of his willingness to hit a pack & athleticism (leap vs height).

Second half of the 2nd quarter & third quarter were impressive. Talk about jets. He was really on in the above quarters today and IMHO came out of the blocks hunting, scrapping but also blitzing the opponent with & without the ball in these stages. Still got a way to go to put full games (playing at that level) together but that will come with time and the extra pre-season or two. Burst speed is incredible at VFL level and his closing pressure / tackling was off the charts. So many Swans looked in the clear one minute, only having to rush kicks or getting rushed off their kick/handball a few seconds later. Spargo plays a very different role but Toby is really knocking on the door at the moment. Out of the smalls like Chandler, Laurie etc i'd be giving the nod to Toby at present. All class and super fast at ground level, closing speed and escape factor.

Even 3 quarters of Macca will be very handy IMV. Fingers crossed he gets through nicely. Has bulked up a little

I would throw accuracy with goal kicking in there as well Layzie. Last week it all clicked in this regard. 72% conversion, our second best result for the season, only topped in Rnd 5 vs the Giants (76%!). It was our best efficiency inside 50 for the season though with a record 33.3% of our inside 50s on the night resulting in a goal.

I hope he never loses the fun side he mostly has when playing his footy. We are witnessing something special seeing a young fella acheiving greatness while having a blast along the way 💪🏼

Clarry you star!! The biggest double achievement in the AFL for the second year running... Tying for the AFLCA player of the year AND No.1 on DD's ratings tables (5th season in a row!) 😄

The nipple grippling episode (amongst others) surely tells a titillating tale about old mate Robbo Uncle surely!

Weighted Average Player & Team Ratings H&A Season 2022 vs H&A Season 2021 Another H&A season done and dusted. Seemed to go very quick. Clarry No.1 again for the fifth season in a row! Viney & May clock up a rare draw coming equal 3rd, decided in the last round against the Lions. Speaking of Hibberd up there, nearly forgot to include him in the season averages! All updated now...

Yes the beauty is in the eye of the witness NS. Stats are limited in their ability to reflect what actually takes place on the field. Also these tables don't take into account pressure acts, bodying the opponent, reading the play better etc.

Round 23, 2022 GABBA - Lions vs Demons Clarry finishes with a bang! VN contribution from LJ. Did we finally take advantage of the sub!??

Highly doubt that. There's no way he's making it to the top tier of the Ponsford!

Cheer squad leader is Ryan... has blonde hair. Not so much spikey as sharp lol

Wasn't there two of them? One wore blue the other red? Might be thinking of diff people though. Haven't seen them in a while.

Was definitely one of the best players on the day and handy in patches but not sure he played THAT well GW. Still a few question marks surrounding execution/decision making with ball in hand IMHO as well as positioning at the contests. Continues to get pushed off the ball relatively easily at times as well. He's a pretty solid, reasonably experienced fella that just doesn't hit in hard enough / impose himself often enough (even at that level) for mine.

Top of the square Laurie surely 🤔

Turner needed to go down the guts there

I prefer Gazza's '[censored] file' meself

Someone...just load him up on the trip back. Make sure he's completely out. Stick a pen in his hand. Slide the contract under. Squiggle the pen around on the dotted line. Bob's your uncle for the next three years son!!

Zorko the dorko

Yes the hairier the better it seems TR. Also much kudos to the much maligned/berated Olisik who (amongst many other favourite draft picks he put up) was on to Kozzy many months before i was (unbeknownst to me).
