JVR is taller than Charlie Curnow and he seems to go alright. Petty is 197cm and he was drafted as a key defender who will one day take over May's role.

Your "very very weak opposition" comprised of 12 premiership players including his opponent who is a four time All Australian.

Of your 94 posts have you ever said anything positive. I would hate to think what you would have written 10 years ago. Then again you might have enjoyed that time more than now. Our game plan does not rely on perfection, its all about defense and strangulation of the opposition. We react to what the opposition bring to the table every week. WC were very physical and very defensive. They showed a lot of heart in those middle quarters. Your views are very old school. Relax and enjoy the ride.

Where? Who would you drop? We are having difficulty getting Salem back in.

He is part midfield part winger therefore does not qualify

Then who would you drop?

Champion Data doesn't even classify him as elite

Gee I can see Bowey going into the midfield later in the year or certainly next year. Maybe he might not have the tank yet but that might change later in the season. His decision making and read of play and kicking skills will make him very damaging.

Yes. Freo play a similar game to us.

Everyone is assuming that BBB and either of McD or Weid is the best combo going forward. What about Mich Brown? He is a better mark than the latter 2 and he certainly hits the scoreboard. I have not heard any negative commentary on his defensive skills and he is not lazy. I think his last match he had over 30 possessions against I think his former club.

God I wish we could have a home base that is closer to our HQ that is not windswept.

It feels like you are watching football in a phone booth. It doesn't help if all the play is on the other side.

Swans are lazy. Their half backs and wings don't like the gut running to create options half forward.

The Bulldogs have a history of sensitive information leaking from their club. Remember Michael Talia leaking team sheets to his Crows brother back in 2015. They really have to look in their own backyard and find the leaker instead of slagging off to the reporter who obviously liaises with this leaker. Bevo should thank Tom Morris in bringing to the club's attention that there is indeed someone in the club that is disclosing selection information.

Can’t understand the lack of love for Langdon. He is not rated by any “experts”. He is such a vitual cog for us.

Thanks Dee

Does anyone have any idea when Casey will have practice matches? I cannot find any info anywhere.

Is there another match shortly?

Is there a VFL game for the other players on the list after this?

Has the Weed been on the ground?

Gee Sparrow has put on muscle. A really big unit.

Just to add further salt in the wound CD has Nic Nac as the #1 player in the comp.

Found an interesting article in "The Roar" dated back to Aug 2019 that discuss many of these issues. Apparently only small handful of clubs pay the required $150,000 for CD's in-depth analysis. Most pay for the base product and then do their own analysis on stats that are important to them. https://www.theroar.com.au/2019/08/27/locking-up-afl-data-will-only-make-it-less-valuable/

Hope it doesn't turn into 426 from a decade ago

And Brexit. Extraordinary year.
