The average fan thinks...

[RedmanWasHere]

That Trengrove is the correct spelling.

And that it's Jack Stevens not Jack Steven.

 

[Wingard#20]

That Inside 50's are over-rated. Seriously, who gives a s**t how many times the ball goes inside 50. It's no use if you don't get a scoring shot. Could have 40 Inside 50's a game but whats the point if you only have like 5 scoring shots.

That Gary Ablett jnr is elite despite not being in the top 400 for disposal efficiency.

That Gary Ablett jnr is elite despite not being in the top 400 for disposal efficiency.

That disposal efficiency is a relevant stat.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Sometimes players do make mistakes that the average spectator wouldn't. There's a lot of pressure obviously but most people could easily take that mark that Clint Young dropped for example.

Maybe before playing a game of AFL intensity football. Most people would be taking from the back of an ambulance if they had to take it at the end.

there was no such thing as a boring game before ~2005

One for eagles fans.
Tony Notte just needs one more pre season in the gym and he is going to be a gun.
Haha we were saying that for years before we finally gave up and delisted him

 

[King_Steele]

Sooo true. Those were the days.

Matthew Knights destroyed our club......

[JackOutback]

That "AFL" is the name of the sport.

This is very true and makes me sad.

 

[chaelsonnen]

that Hutchy has a hard-on for Caroline Wilson

 

[luciien]

That a multi-pronged forward line is boring as s**t. Full forwards kicking bags every week is much more entertaining.

 

[Clark G]

that Damian Barrett is a flog.

 

[hutchy31]

that Damian Barrett is a flog.

No argument here.

 

[hutchy31]

That professional footy players should be able to kick straighter from set shots.

I absolutely believe that to be the case, maybe I am an average fan after all.........

 

[Collingwoodity]

Despite James Hird's recent issues, he is still the best player I've seen play.

 

[DV2000]

That Gary Ablett jnr is elite despite not being in the top 400 for disposal efficiency.

So.....are youtrying to tell me that Gary Ablett isn't "elite"? If you are correct, then I struggle to comprehend what an "elite" player would be like

Most average melbourne fans agree with this statement

Then you're an average fan.

Especially the one's where the ball just spills over the 50 metre line and the opposition mops it up straight away. Also 50 metres is a pretty arbitrary number.

 

[IggypopsTshirt]

The AFL should "bring back the biff" and the league had gone soft.

Then they call anyone a dog who gets rubbed out for a high shot.

Good SuperCoach scores makes good footballers.

If you actually understand what goes into determining said scores, and then look at who regularly scores highly, it pretty much always correlates with who the best and most impactful players are "to the eye".

Can't think of too many players who regularly score highly in SuperCoach who aren't genuinely impactful, influential players. To be fair, it might favour or more highly reward attacking and forward-moving play than some would like, but that's the whole point of the game of football - to move the ball forward and kick goals.

 

[Damon_3388]

The average fan doesn't think or give a s**t about 95% of the issues that people bang on about on BigFooty.
