Geelong?

Jordan coming on as the sub....(ah, 1:46 in - can't set start for some reason) Lewis was never the quickest, but was so effective as a wingman for us due to his competitiveness, and ability to read the game and get to dangerous positions.

You're right, Swans do so well bringing players to the game from outside traditional AFL pathways.

AFAIK, the rules committee sit down with AFL counsel (which includes, or included Chris Scott and Patrick Dangerfield as coach, and player representatives respectively). I guess Geelong didn't see any need to protect TALL ruckmen?

Reckon someone's sold you a sow's ear there.

Ideal time for a re-shuffle - Lewis is a key part of our setup, so the whole lineup will be changing. Two forced changes, and the return of Nick's Boogeyman: Ramsden replaces Lewis in the 22. Butler replaces Watson in the 22. Maginess replaces Morrison in the 22 (Mackenzie/Macdonald to the sub...

Oh Carlos, how you've changed!

About five years ago I made a huge pot of chicken vegetable soup. Washed and chopped up all my veg for the stock mix, seared off in small batches to maximise caramelisation and flavour, along with two whole roasted chicken carcasses and let that simmer all day (~6 hours), skimming the fat every...

Geelong game is up. copy/past link didn't work - I loaded the default game and changed the game number until it worked. afl on demand

The AI doesn't consider tomorrow. Every team is trying to win now. (This also leads to most clubs sacking their coach every other year). Remember, we use "Positional Ratings" to value a player, instead of the actual raw skills of players. It's makes sense for easier comparison, but it's an...

Go back? That's my dad's music room today.

Love it. I can imagine the skit now... Interior shot - looking over Clayton Oliver's shoulder at his phone as he orders an Uber X Share. ... Exterior street - Oliver has his bag as car pulls up. Zooms in - Finn Maginess is sitting in the back (wearing full Hawks gear and mouthguard) ... Car...

Will be better once Lewis is back to full fitness and can roam up the ground at CHF. Chol works better closer to goal IMO.

Agree, I read all the praise for Blakey from Swans his first year, so set about watching them play in a neutral game - thought he was trash, unaccountable, soft and just run and dump kicked long, turning as many over as he found a team-mate. I didn't see anything other than raw pace - not a...

Bolded - That's the issue whole with the media though - we wouldn't be talking about that at all. Instead, the media would be talking about the thuggish Hawks (as the MRP would no doubt pull a few more charges out of the skirmish), recount back to the LITS (where they also blamed Hawthorn...

eldorado, you give yourself far too much credit. This post is barely in your top 10,000 most pointless. :D

Can't blame umpires for this, but it's an ongoing factor in Sicily (and more generally Hawthorn) incidents. If the umpires stayed impartial, it's very likely this incident didn't happen. IF: Sicily was awarded the original contested mark (paid hands in the back which was very marginal, then...

I preface this by saying I've seen roughly 2 minutes of his highlights, and a passing glance at the few minutes he played in pre-season. He knows how to judge the ball in flight. He understands how to combat physical contact and body positioning in an aerial contest. That puts him ahead of...

When we drafted him, he had a mature(ish) body, was an aggressive inside ball-winner, who had questionable disposal and was regularly exposed for his (lack of) defensive awareness. After 5 years, not much has changed. He's a little stronger, FAR fitter and generally an improved kick - but not...

Stefanakis is to Box Hill what Watson is to Hawthorn?

Agree, it's a pretty weird take. For mine Reeves is our 3rd most important player this year. Sicily, Lewis, Reeves. Not saying he's third best, but the alternatives (Frost+Phillips, Chol+Ramsden, Meek) are still a significant step down. We HAVE to win clearances to be competitive, he's our...

weirdly, our locals: coles - red, pink woolies: green, blue IGA - orange, red, cola, yet to see all pineapple.

No injury to any of Lewis, Chol, Sicily, Reeves, and keeping at least 3 of Nash/Day/Worpel/Newcombe on the field and we are good enough. Badly lack depth at KPP, and our outside run is lacking. Our best-22 is ok though.

Late to the party but my suggestion from a few years ago - remove the 30 second rule from all shots, and only have it when the PLAYER calls it. The player calls for the 30 second by raising their hand. Otherwise it's adjudicated like any other marking contest on the ground (~5 seconds and play...

You seriously underrate how much posters on this site hate Harry.
