Is Marsh better better than Bruce is the question? Bruce couldn't play Marsh's role. So the question really is - do you play Bruce ahead of King? It's clearly King. Clearly. Marsh can't play Bruce’s role. 👍 But King is playing Bruce's role. It's not Marsh for Bruce - it's King for Bruce.

It's clearly King. Clearly.

Where would Bruce play?

McGoughs biggest challenge was he couldn't run out of sight on a dark night.

I wasn't comparing them as footballers as such.

I don't know how the rising star is awarded, but you'd almost give it to Rowell even if he missed the rest of the season. Why? He's been pretty good. Very good in 2 against pathetic opposition. I actually think he'll have a bit of the Mark McGough's about him. He's a bull, no doubt. But aside from ...

Comparing McGough and Rowell, inference being a couple of good early games and fizzle out I assume or is it slow and will only perform on a mud heap? Perhaps its he'll get dumped after 30 games? The comparison is 'the man-child walking into the comp with an adult body and naturally making an impact...

“After quarter time I was playing on Nicky, and it was pretty clear he was getting frustrated and disappointed with what was coming over the fence,’’ Richardson told the Herald Sun on Thursday.

Oh FFS.

Why? He's probably in the top 5 players in the league, let alone rising stars in rounds 2,3,4. Been a figurehead and leader in turning a bottom team into a competitive one. Yeah, that's what the AFL media keep crapping on about. But in reality, he was Ok'ish in R1, very good when they flogged the p...

Think you need to get back on your meds. Nothing I said is inconsistent with what you’ve said. I actually believe the Winmar/Ludbey version. I couldn't give a s*** what you believe. It Doesn't matter. It's totally irrelevant. It doesn't matter what I believe either. The whole 'issue' is that Winmar...

No. No-one ever disputed the racial taunts. The old guys questioned what he said when he lifted his shirt. He says he said “I’m black and I’m proud.” They said he said something about having guts and that because it has since been reported as the black pride comment he has dined off it. Personally ...

WTF??

Of course we were desperate!!

It’s not attractive is it?

What, you think we should just sit back and lean on the bar and wait for all the hot chicks to come up and hit on us?

But if your top 6 is no good - it doesn't matter cause you won't be in the top 8 anyway. You could have an awesome bottom 6 - but you'll still be a bottom 8 team unless you have the cream. Our top 6 in all our GFs were very good, that's how we got there in the first place. But our top 6 didn't perf...

Tom Boyd was a number 1 draft pick. He certainly had the potential and he delivered when it mattered most Although Bob Murphy was injured at the pointy end he is an AA and helped set up the year Stringer, Matt Boyd and the Bont are also All Australians Libba and Hunter and JJ are elite as well. Mor...

Baz, please entertain me and go through the Top 6 of each team who won the flag in those years & rate them against our Top 6. Then look at the bottom 6 for each. I'm not talking about that game but their standing at that time in their careers. Your myth may not be fact. That said, it is subject...

A champion team will always beat a team of champions. We've had a very even spread of contributors and I'd rather that than having to rely on a Cripps or Fyfe to have to win games for us. What's happened is we've cleaned up our disposal and improved goal accuracy. What we've all been whining about ...

Edit: Jake and Coffield are equal 10th for Marks.

So we're 4th right. 3-2 and very easily could/should have been 4-1. We're playing well, and have the 5th highest % in the comp. But.... The only individual stats that we have anyone in the top 10 for are Tackles (Steele of course), Intercepts (Long) and Tackles Inside 50 (Butler and Kent). That's un...

It was a nice surprise it went the other way!

I think Carlisle did too.

Hostile against the Crows I'd imagine.

So much for "hitouts to advantage."

It's a rubbish stat. The definition of a 'Hitout to Advantage' is misleading.

And so is a Clearance for that matter. The difference between a good clearance, a poor clearance and a neutral clearance is enormous. But the stat doesn't distinguish.
