Random Task

I actually thought kozzie was good tonight, so many plays where he wouldn't have got a stat but neutralised the ball or caused a turnover from his pressure. The goals will come. I'd watch the replay again to reasses his game but I don't hate myself that much.

6. Gawn 5. May 4. Langdon 3. Harmes 2. Fritsch 1. Jordon Apologies to Sparrow (fix up your delivery inside 50) and Brayshaw. ANB also good.

One of the most painful wins I've watched but it's still a win. Gawn, Harmes, May, Langdon and Jordan played well, not much else to take out of it except it was a win without Oliver and Petracca starring. Hope Wines is OK.

Shame they're not super physical. Could have been our bash brothers.

We're being far too cute with the ball. What a shocking game.

Love Sparrow but he really needs to clean up his inside 50 delivery.

1st goalless half in Ports history. The knives will be out soon.

What am I even watching?

Wonder if there will be a crowd walk out at half time?

Insufficient intent????

Love the sound of the crowd.

Gawn back to his marking best at least.

The first quarter highlights on replay will be non existent

Ummm. Do the umps hate Viney? What was that mark call?

Lol, two person body slam into vineys back and no free

Very sloppy start.

If I'm interpreting the afl app correctly it looks like Bedford and Dumont will be the respective subs.

And of course most goals in a game. Fred Fanning with 18. Will never be beaten.

On an individual bases we have a few record holders. Most hit outs in a season: Max Gawn - 1119 with an average of 44.76 per game. Season 2018. Most contested possession in a season: Clayton Oliver - 435 with an average of 17.4 per game. Season 2021 Most handballs in a season: Clayton Oliver - 482 with an average of 21.91. Season 2017.

Nah it was me that explained myself poorly. Early days for Finn but good start to the season. One to keep track of during the season.

Yeah you're probably right re scaling. I was more proposing removing discounts and more or less have the cost in line with the draft points system they have in place.

Just made a thread about Finn before reading this. He's in this years draft and looks to have good skills and run from the backline based on what I've seen so far.

Agreed. Should have only been restricted to first round then perhaps heavier cost to match early in the second (more so than it is currently) with it scaling down as the draft progresses. Meanwhile the Northern academies are untouched under the current system. Go figure.

Seems we have another talented NGA player coming through with the Dandenong Stingrays this season. Named 2nd best on ground against the Ranges last Saturday with 30 touches and described by Cal Twomey as a talented and skilfull prospect in the below article. https://www.afl.com.au/news/735813/why-essendon-could-miss-out-on-exciting-next-gen-talent-anthony-munkara We would have to hope a bid falls outside of pick 40 otherwise he will go the way of Mac Andrew and straight to the club that selects him. Haven't been able to find out too much more on him except that he's 181cm tall. Looks like he predominantly plays as a defender.

Tassie deserve better.
