Round 22: The Saints roll over Carlton with Caminiti slotting his sixth over Weitering's head in a half-full Etihad, and Thunderstruck blasting "YEAH YEAH YEAH" with an accompanying strobe light show for the third time in this final quarter. They are now up by 13 goals on a Sunday afternoon in...
I ****ing love it. When Callum Brown dunked on North last year and that ****ing song came up over and over and over in Manuka, you could just see how much it winded up everyone on North's end.
It's a top tier mind game, dressed up as some sort of entertainment for the fans, and everyone who...
The scary thought is that he's been exposed in a bad way to much more experienced KPDs, in a losing team that affords him no protection, entrenching bad habits and collapses his confidence in the long term. The moments when he's in an equal pairing team quality wise, he's been good. KPF returns...
This ****ing stand rule is just a ****ing cluster**** of ajudication. Easy ****ing fix from the ****ing house to have the ****ing umpires to say 'Number 14, stand"
Pressure and tackling numbers for a KPF is positively correlated to how much ball is in the front half of the ground, of which we have been celebrating like a preliminary final win vs Geelong if we crossed the 40-60 balance in any quarter in the past two seasons
I'd love to find a place to get...
Shanahan 21.14 (17 games)
Lefau 22.9 (18 games) [27 yo]
Trembath 22.9 (12 games) - 6 of them vs Richmond
Gruzewski 15.9 (10 games) [year 3]
Faull 14.23 (23 games - inclusive of that GC where he was injured within seconds)
Dear 39.22 (29 games) [year 3]
Patrick Voss 51.46 (34 games) [year 4]...
Currently the only KPF players with under 25 games with more goals than Jonty (23 games, 14 goals) is Trembath (22 goals), Shanahan (17 goals), Lefau (20 goals) and Gruzewski (15 goals), and his 37 scoring shots is the highest between the five.
Calsher Dear is the benchmark with 38 goals in 28...
Bit of a sieve defensively. His defensive presence is a near negative at this point.
but 15 touches all coming from open play (no FF and marks), 5 of them as I50s off a HFF in game 2 is great. Forward thinking game that's got solid fundamentals, despite the evident physical development...
I made an off the cuff comparison with him and Travis Cloke and since then I just cannot get that image out of my head.
He will be fine. Cloke had 16.28 in his first two seasons and then became a crucial cog in an elite team.
I genuinely burst out laughing with this team selection. 15/23 will have a premiership medallion for Richmond and we'll be looking back at this screenshot with the same reaction in a decade's time.
What call with Hopper do you want? Is 51% game time in Q4 too much, or do you want even less time for our highest paid bloke on the list during crunch time?
Definitely no where close to the production I expect of him. But he did play the majority of the 3rd when we were on top, yet to have a...
