  1. Burgess speaks a bit about this in the below podcast. Also gives some great background on his time at the Socceroos,Liverpool and Arsenal and Port. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/brukie-and-burgo-the-podcast/id1519942623
  2. 10 wins gets you ion the 8?? On form we beat Nth and Adel. Which would mean we would have to win 5 of those 6. We play port of a 4 day break. Do we rest 6-8 against port to give us the best chance of beating nth and Adel. Drop either of those games and it will make it hard. Unless we beat the Lions and just go for it against Port. ?
  3. out VDB In Tmac
  4. Id like to go back and have a look at how many of those 4 clangers where on his left. Hes such (at times) good kick on his left that when he miss kicks one it looks really bad. Only Gus and Melky can use both feet just as good as each other and its a big weapon. Gus has confidence to turn onto either foot while most other would go the safe option and use there natural leg but at times it gets them caught. EG one of the coast to coast goals I think it was weed in the goals square to the left of screen only happened cause Guys could hit up Fritz on his left along teh boundary. If he had to turn into traffic and use his right I dont think we kick that goal.
  5. Elements of game style is different to essentially Richmond game style but yes I agree.
  6. ???? Richmond happy to loose at contested ball and win it back with intercepts/turnovers Melbourne first and strongest option is to win the contested ball.
  7. Maybe just maybe he wasnt ready fitness wise or his game wasn't ready, he had things to work on? Now that he has fixed those thing we are seeing the benefit. If he was played earlier before he was ready we may have not. Its called good coaching.
  8. Watch for Frost and chip blocking there own and Sicily opponent to allow Sicily to take intercept marks.
  9. In what game did we have two key forwards that worked well. Carlton?
  10. worked against GCS
  11. Ross Lyon pointed this out on Footy classified last night. Haw have had bad looses to Geelong and Collingwood this year on the two skinny AFL grounds.
  12. If Ellis didnt kick 2 goals out of his [censored] that he will never kick again we would have won easier and by a greater margin

    Maybe so but Pretty was trained to play forward. There is no point training Smith to also play forward when he is behind Tmac, Weed, Jackson, Petty as tall fwds when down back we have no cover after May, Lever, Omac. Its whats best for the team.

    You just answered your own question. No need to keep both. One's asking for 3 years on OK-good coin. While the other is already contracted on min chips. List management.
  15. So when converted to a normal game time his TOG is the same as 2019. His % is increasing but his actual minutes compared to last season is not. Thats why he can play almost 100%.
  16. NO WAY. His teams boring chip kick footy 3 goals last night is a disgrace.. No attacking flair. Picks terrible unbalanced teams. Who plays 5 190cm plus players all in the same back line, including his teams best ruck man. Trades away all his draft picks for NQR injured hacks.

    Tail waging the dog. Said player/s can leave if thats how they feel and we wont miss them. Nothing [censored] me more than players complaining about playing out of position and whats best for them. The quicker they leave the better TEAM we will be.
  18. Yes felt the same thing when listening.
  19. Ranked no 1 mid for meters gained, 3rd overall.
  20. except it is being used against 2018 . im only referring to the first graphic.
  21. You would expect players ratings to drop of with 20% less game time??
  22. What was everyone expectation this season/ Top 8 top 4??? We have lost 2 games to the last 3 premiership teams. Played the only away game against WCE in Perth so far. Lost 1 game to last years minor premiers. We havnt been beaten with back to back 100 point losses. Should have / could have won the last 2 games playing terrible and gifting goals with poor skill and decision making. I would rather play cr@p and just loose to these team knowing we can get better than play our best and still loose. A lot of people joining in on the media pile on.
  23. Is this the new 19th AFL team. What happened to Tassie??
  24. Yeah I wast asking you the question diasycutter, more pointing out the papers mistake
