Queanbeyan Demon

Sounds like a lyric from a Beatles song around the St. Peppers era.

With sentiments like that @hardtack, you may find your membership of 'Land suspending before long.

Here's my AA team at this stage of the season (found a place for Bont on an extended bench). FB: Jake Lever, Harrison Petty, Tom McDonald HB: Daniel Turner, Blake Howes, Christian Salem C: Ed Langdon, Jai Culley, Caleb Windsor HF: Kade Chandler, Jacob van Rooyen, Latrelle Pickett FF: Jake Melksham, Brody Mihocek, Harry Sharp RUCK: Max Gawn, Jack Steele, Kysaiah Pickett IC: Tom Sparrow, Harvey Langford, Xavier Lindsay, Koltyn Tholstrup, Bailey Laurie, Bont.

I wonder what the double of Norf and Deez for the 10 paying?

How many cheer squad members are on 'Land?

How much is he getting this year?

Lid is off in Queanbeyan.

Yeah agree. He'll never make it as a mid. Reminds me of Diesel Williams, Dane Swan, Robert Harvey, Sam Mitchell and Matt Priddis.

But does he get a game next week?

It's like rain on your weddin' day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought? It figures

Lloyd, for a so called expert, has minimal insight. @binman and I commented on this last week. It's usually the last thing he saw or heard someone else say, becomes his great analytical piece for that moment. And his delivery, after 20+ years, is still amateurish. He wouldn't have put up with that from his midfielders when he played, yet we are subjected to it week in week out.

He did!!! :-)

Me too. What a [censored] day, at a [censored] ground with a [censored] public transport system.

To the Dees at the ground, cheer hard and boo harder at the umps and the Suns. We are up to our necks in this and Dimwitt ain't happy in the box.

Big thank you to the Dee supporters at the ground who are giving 'em hell. You are coming through loud and clear in Queanbeyan.

how so?

One doesn't have to imagine. $100m at a minimum, has been poured into that joint.

Can i come over and watch it dry?

interesting how a couple of young guys talk more sense with greater insight than virtually anyone in the mainstream media.

Only if Victoria's Finest are not doing home visits.

Carltank's board has traditionally not been stacked with aeronautical engineers either. A fair percent have spent time on the inside.

At my age - very much a matter of perspective.

Voss is one of the best players I've seen - personally taking it upon himself to beat the Filth in a granny. We should all be grateful for that. But an aeronautical engineer he is not.

Four goals against Carlton looked great. I'll give Fritta that. But I've been watching Bayley Fritsch for eight seasons now, and Sunday felt familiar. The ball raining into an open forward line, Carlton's defense scrambling, Pickett doing the heavy lifting. Fritsch was in the right spot. He usually is. The question is what happens when he isn't. I pulled his career data from Wheelo Ratings and compared him against five peers who kicked similar tallies in 2025: Zurhaar (38 goals), Higgins (46), Fogarty (40), Curtis (38) and Gunston (62). The picture that emerges is one I suspect many of us have sensed but struggled to articulate. His goal assists sit at 0.5 per game — lowest of the peer group, whose average is 0.64. Score involvement percentage of 22.5% — again lowest. He is involved in fewer than one in four scores his team registers. When he gets the ball, he looks for goal. When he doesn't, he waits. That's not a caricature but rather it's what the numbers say. Defensively: 1.7 tackles per game against a group average of 2.3. Tackles inside 50 — the truest measure of forward pressure — just 0.7, against 1.1. Pressure acts 9.1, group average 12.0. Curtis and Higgins do nearly twice the defensive work. Fogarty is the most instructive comparison — similarly passive, similar pressure numbers. But Fogarty's career accuracy is 59.9%. If you're going to be a pure finisher, be elite at finishing. Fritsch at 52% last season isn't quite making that case. He's a good footballer. He's not irreplaceable. King has options, and this week is a chance to use them. PS. I haven't figured out how to statistically track and make meaning out of his penchant for regularly burning teammates.

now seriously requiring an intervention. cant even count anymore.
