Just glad it’s not a night game up there when it gets dewy and the ball becomes a bar of soap.

Way undercounting here.

The win % when Ash was available and when he wasn't (which was too often given his injuries), were night and day. Through the period 2005 - 07 his record when playing was 40-8 a 83% winning percentage, whereas we were 14-13 without him a 51% winning percentage. He was a very important player.

If Reid leaves it won't be for money. We will be able to match whatever is offered. It will be becuase he wants to leave the club/perth.

Ideally would string a handful of games in a row where he kickes a goal and/or a game where he kicks 3 or 4. Like all the kids at the moment you can almost see their confidnece growing game to game. It's amazing how that happens when you aren't getting flogged by 10+ goals every week.

Is this good? i'm not sure as can't recall the last rising star we had that had anything resembling an apperance on the leaderboards.

The non-key forwards on the leading goal kicker’s chart, fritsch, Bolton, wirghtman, stringer, Langford, Stengle, Elliot etc all have the same (within 1 or 2) total goals and goals assists as the Bont, but other than Bolton (18 touches a game to the bonts 25) he’s so far ahead of them in...

Reminds me a bit of lukosius with his build and loping style of movement. As well as the good field kicking.

I’m just sceptical of any cats claims at this stage. They’ve beaten the following positions on the ladder, 13, 15, 17, 8, 18, and 12. Have a percentage of “only” 127 when take out the north flogging down in Geelong. About to verse 4, 6 and 5. Will know how real the cats are after that.

Blakey is an interesting comparison. He doesn’t get caught in 1v1’s but he has 40 spoils to Holmes 3 for the season.

Is that saying he has 0.3 1-on-1’s per game? So a total of two 1-on-1’s for the year? And he’s a defender?

It’s not that sheed is slow of foot, he is also a slow mover of the ball given his penchant for up and unders. He’s got obvious quality but needs to show he can adjust and get on board with our new game plan

It’s not dreamteam mate.

I’m not going to say that Yeo should be in there yet, but his stats are very similar to Marcus. Less goals, more clearances and score involvements, all while playing 70% time on ground to Marcus’ 84%. Both are likely to receive votes from the coaches this week, to give them three games each...

You could make an argument for Pearce, McGovern, Buckley, Moore and others for the key back positions. Beyond Taylor the field is open, McKay certainly is not clearly the standout behind him.

Sheed looked miles off the pace in the last. Can’t see him in the starting 22 next week

the speed across the field compared to last year is noticeable. Think a combo of quicker played, but also players feeling empowered to use their speed

Not sure if Waterman or JK reincarnated

Reid is a god. Two touches. A goal and a goal assist

Chesser is getting better each week

You can’t hide in the ruck. You are either physically strong enough to compete or not. At the moment he’s not. That’s usual for young rucks. Needs to get much stronger.

Do you mean late lottery?

25-28 is first round?

May well be, but his stats for the last seven years don’t mean anything when it comes to AA for 2024

Just remembered north gave Simpkin a 6 year contract and made him captain…

North finish bottom get pick 1, pick 2 as free agency compo for some plodder they don’t match on, plus a heap of picks at end of round 1. People argue west coast should split pick 3 because they need more talent and you can’t have your first two picks pick 3 and pick 40 (after academy and...

It’s in Geelong… there is no universe in which the roos could have won this

It’s in Geelong. Was only ever going to be a hiding.

Reckon there’s an even money chance we aren’t bottom of the ladder tonight, even if we lose. North are going to get smoked, and we should be reasonably close.
