  1. I thought he was looking good for his age...
  2. I think AFL players are encouraged to kick on their strong side. There are very few that kick well on and use both feet. I'm sure Fritsch would be handy on his non preferred side but it's not something I've really noticed.

    Goody or the fan yelling out to give Jeffo a game?
  4. You can argue about who was the best etc...but surely Robbie was the most graceful player to ever pull on a footy boot. ...the phrase "poetry in motion" comes to mind.
  5. ...the AFL players that are not one sided would make a very short list.
  6. Maybe, maybe not. It's trotted out a lot to defend a young forward making his way in football. Unfortunately it can hold too long...think Weid, Cook, Watts etc. etc. Yes, it can take time for a KPF top be consistent at the top level but most that reach this point are playing senior football in the first year or two. Once it gets beyond this then it's less likely they will make it.
  7. I didn't know that... It's no comfort that nearly every other club passed him over. Lets hope Jeffo comes good, but like you I'm not yet sold.

    I think Sarah Jones is much better...has humility and respect. An EFC supporter, she doesn't throw it in your face. I would be happy to see the end of the boys club.
  9. What you've just posted is quite simplistic and very much one dimensional...'Axis' is saying there are many shades of grey, far from one dimensional and I think his post makes sense. For a stat like kicking efficiency to be worthwhile it needs to factor the circumstances 'Axix' mentions.
  10. Stop stirring the pot 'bin'...

    There's an old saying along the lines of "if you give them an inch they will take a mile"...I hope it never comes to this but can see it heading that way unfortunately.
  12. From the small amount I've seen I can understand why.
  13. Thanks 'bin'...I found that whole press conference entertaining. He really seems to enjoy poking fun at the pundits...what was his line about Carragher?, you can name him. Or the Roy Keane not being a good guy one. I really enjoy some of the stuff from Keane, Neville, Wright, Carragher and Scott on the overlap. Very entertaining but some of them struggle to get Ange.
  14. Love Ang...he's very much his own man. The problem is the Brit pundits (and some of the Spurs stick in the mud fans) can't understand how an Aussie can come from out of nowhere and turn the competition on it's head with a different style of play. As he asked one of them the other night "was it entertaining?"...
  15. I thin by the end of the season we might be hearing 'How did Lindsay get to pick 11', what a steal.
  16. Godwin's honesty is about a point in time, season 2024...last season where we finished 14th. Now 'BBP', you are a renowned glass half empty type but I doubt Goodwin sees us performing the same way in season 2025. If we get a clear run at it there is no reason for us not to finish top 4 and be in the running for another flag.
  17. Mindfulness is good, I'm a bit wary of guru's in this space though.
  18. Can you tell us anything about him?
  19. I thin she's a better kick 'Dees', not a great one but a bit better and she's both left and right.
  20. Thought that too 'norm', Westy but a better kick.

    It's going to be a long summer... When does the footy start? Please!
  22. rjay replied to Dingo's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Maybe May, Petty, Tommy or Ricks spot...
  23. I haven't seen any of these girls but hope we go with O"Hehir as we need a big, classy mid... It's the one area where we get beaten up.

    If he's to make it, I think it will be as a key position player. He's not a ruckman. Seems to have good hands and a bit of agility, just no ruck craft.

    You would sure hope so...
