  1. I agree but the choices were limited to that or soapy water (Heineken) Maple :-S
  2. He will need to be very careful turning corners If/when he gets a wheelchair heming
  3. Emirates didn't have banana milkshakes but I found something beginning with B... endIng In "Weiser" does that count? Can I mIx 2 or 3 In milk? o_O
  4. Great news. Need the back up just in case. As good as Big Boy or just below. Go Spencil
  5. I'm thrilled for Tracc but i won't be here also. Last minute packing for Europe as i type. Do they sell dongles in Prague? Then there's the coverage!??
  6. That's brilliant just saw that. Ty!
  7. Why so many forwards were kicking100 plus i guess. Plus the delivery was more accurate as well, even we were hitting up regular on the lead back then as you can see by those highlights. There was the opportunity to execute on match day more often and not just on the training track which probably helped. We are slowly getting better at it now as a team but i haven't seen much of it until this year. Great to see the improvement though. Teams clog up more effectively now of course so much harder to find these spaces and targets. But...if you're willing to work your bum off and lead up/back enough (and you're also reasonably accurate) and if others in the forward line do their thing to create fat sides/keep spaces free, blocks etc then guys up the field will tend to look for you more often and get used to doing the looking/passing (as a first option). It then becomes a first choice habit rather than regular first choice bombing as we were prone to do mostly for so many years prior to this. Provided the ball is moved quickly enough off HB of course. This is where the likes of Harmes and in particular Wagner, Hunt and the Big H have been very handy for us so far and why calls from some on here to drop them (or some of them) are misguided. Their speed across the ground and speed of transition is invaluable and a must in today's game in order to beat the zones/press before the opponent has had enough time to set it correctly and gives our forwards a decent chance of kicking big ones from higher percentage spots i50. Watts has been doing that a little more this year with pretty good results so far. Hogan a little also but not sure he has the tank and break away power to make an impact on the lead (on a regular basis) just yet. Should come with enough hard work and another pre season or two and a more mature head (having the King in his ear should hopefully fast track his development here a little).
  8. Go the Bugg!!
  9. Oliver for Brayshaw seems like the logical in for me. Brayshaw looks gassed after a quarter of footy at the moment and is launching at too many contests when there's already a tall forward going up. Gets under the ball too often to impact anyways. Should be working harder to lose his opponent and get front and square for the drop. Would send him back to work on these aspects and build a tank. Possibly Tracc for Kennedy. Wasn't Kennedy's best game. Pretty sure Frost is the 3rd tall forward/utility that Roos is hoping will come on quickly so he would have to play a bog ordinary match to be dropped i reckon. Wasn't great last night but will go around again against the Saints. Hogan would want to lift his work rate and work on that technique to keep his place but cant see him going back this week. Seems to be having one "ok" game and one ordinary one at this point which is not unusual for a young bloke. Would love to see keep on keeping on immediately after a miss at goal. Seems to drop back to the goal square and think it over while the play/zone has moved up the field missing some contests when a desperate kick or 2 drops short from mid field around the paint. He does wake up though and gets going again not long after so maybe a fitness/tank issue.
  10. 6. Gawn 5. Tyson 4. Viney 3. Watts 2. Kent 1. Jeffy Apologies to Salem, Wagner, Vince, Dunny, Lumumba and Nev
  11. Yes it's flawed with regard to ruckmen Mono. He would be right up there otherwise. See latest ranking notes.
  12. Stat update after last night....... Kicking efficiency last night was around AFL average @ approx 63% which is great to see We are the most accurate team in front of goal at 65.5% accuracy. Next best is the Saints @ 61.2% and Norf @ 61.9%. The bottom 5 are The Power 50%, Essendrug 48.5%, The Blues 45.8%, the Lions 43.8% and the Dockers @ 43.1% (who would have thought!?). We have the 4th highest goal kicking average in the league In one of the few publicly available stats that i think is worth looking at, we are ranked 5th in clearances behind the Crows, Hawks, Swans and the Doggies. Saints are right on our tail at 6th so we'll need to work extra hard next week at the coal face to get 3 in a row. We are 3rd in contested marks only behind the Weagles & Swans. Top 5 rated players from a weighted average of stats last night were (weighted score in parentheses)..... 1. Tyson (5.65) 2. Viney (5.60) 3. Jones (4.35) 4. Salem (4.25) 5. Gawn (4.20)* *Does not include a 'hit outs to advantage' stat which would more than likely boost him to No.1 spot last night. Top 5 up to and including round 5* 1. Viney (4.53) 2. Tyson (4.35) 3. Vince (4.23) 4. N Jones (4.17) 5. Dunn (3.38) * Again i think Gawn would easily be in the top 2 or 3 if the hit outs to advantage could be accounted for
  13. That's not far off how i feel after a big night WWS. So yeh i might consider that
  14. Shouldn't be getting that responsibility at this early stage. Something went wrong there. More concerned with how that happened. Boys will cover this in the review for sure.
  15. Tyson had a solid game and a good battle with Edwards who also had his moments. Edwards was on the end of some good work from Ivan when he got first use on a couple of occasions. Need to take the inside whenever possible as he loves to hit the pack from boundary side running inboard. Might help stop a few nose bleeds going the other way and a possible 50+ win next time.
  16. Razor Ray again! Play on call on Lumumba after a short outlet pass receive from Salem kicking in (6:25 to go in the 2nd). Went straight back over the mark. Anything to put pressure on us. He must be a Demon hater this bloke. Get him out AFL he is a disgrace to the game.
  17. Razor's call on Big M's jumper pull when they were both holding. Typical Razor always giving a 50/50 against us. Should not be umpiring at this level. Always the show pony and making sure he is the one getting noticed. That's not an umpire's role
  18. Thx Am, you have to be quick around here!
  19. Great shot Grape. Had to work so that's really special to see. Thx mate
  20. Hoges should take lessons from Watts on kicking technique. Would be the clincher and improve his game/confidence through the roof!
  21. Lumumba did NOT run too far in that great run around Reiwoldt early in the first. Ump stuffed that badly (would never be called against any other power club!!). Great Job H
