Re: Nathan Freeman

Have heard we are into him for the mid season draft. Have kept a close eye on him and are super impressed with his form. LOL, Curly makes up some bulls*** about us being interested in Freeman due to him having high VFL possessions. Another 40 plus game for Freeman. Can't ignore those numbers. Of co...

Re: North into Billings

I'm fairly certain Billings won't be going anywhere - Lethlean indicated on the Gold Coast last week that negotiations for a new contract are well under way and he expects JB to sign. Billings is a bit like Seb Ross, a Late Bloomer, but under good coaching by Ratten he is becoming a really importan...

Re: Impact of injury situation on mid season draft.

Ideally, a ruckman who is at least competitive. Marshall is going to be very difficult to cover over the next six weeks. Structurally, it leaves us without a foil for King up forward and God help us in the ruck if Paddy should also fall over. Who can hold down CHF in Marshall’s absence? Membrey’s n...

Re: 85 Tackles for 3 Frees

Something I didn't want to accept, but now do, is that for any given match the umpires have complete discretion as to what the rules will be and how they will be applied to each team with no commitment to being even handed; they can make up a new set or sets loosely based on the written variety and...

Re: Hickey, Bruce and Hind

Of the 3 Hind is the f-up we made Bruce we got reasonable return on. What did that pick between us? Dougie? I can’t quite remember but we got a reasonable return Hickey similar and you got to remember he was a witches hat at west coast. Great for the guy he’s found form with the swans - I always li...

Re: Nathan Freeman

Another 40 plus game for Freeman. Can't ignore those numbers. Imagine him and Dunstan at Sandy. They just might make the finals. The problem here is we have people making assessments who don't understand the game and base opinion on pure numbers. The frightening thing about this is I am genuinely c...

We should absolutely take the chance to get in some young players and develop them for half a season. 100% Can't believe our recruiting this year to date: Slips through his fingers - was never more than D grade AFL standard Wood - talented but another D grade AFL player who plays with very little a...

Re: Dougal Howard's point.

Incorrect call. A player getting tackled has to dispose of the ball and he did. Didn’t change direction. Bemarrassing = Bemusing and Embarrassing.

Interesting stat! 85 tackles for I assume 3 X holding the ball decisions. Looks very damning in isolation, doesn't it? But stats can do that. What I would like to know is what is an AFL ratio of tackles to free kicks over a season to understand how lop sided the count in this game was. Watching live...
