Fantasia did have 17 pressure acts so 4th behind Cottrell with 23, Acres 20 and Cripps 19. He did have zero tackles - one of 9 of our players who had either zero tackles or just one tackle. So he was a part of us getting to 261 pressure rating in the 3rd - but he probably gets replaced when...

Went to bed at 530am after staying up all night to watch - woke up at 11am and decided to only watch the third quarter and wow from the 10 minutes left mark it was awesome - I didn’t even know you could register 261 on the pressure gauge given average is 150 and elite is 200 - we cut out their...

At 425am here Kelly had just kicked his third goal and we were down 22 points and I was just about to turn off and go to bed early for the first time in a game in a year but fortunately I stuck fat and wow a 261 pressure gauge is crazy as elite is above 200 so they went way way over and then...

Yes and I would also add that so-called role players who aren’t necessarily the biggest names can really make a difference eg Hewett, Acres and now Elijah. All came in cheap because they weren’t considered a big name talent and most clubs didn’t want them but they were perfect for us and they...

Second half of last season was also pretty bad but the boys played amazingly well that we forget we played without Walsh, Harry and Cerra etc Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Looking at the replay Taylor is the textbook example of reckless behavior which could have injured his opponents head - he could have easily avoided the clash of heads there and Steele was always going to be ahead of him and control of the ball Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

He brings a unique skill set that others can’t bring - will be a big loss and hopefully others can try to apply elite pressure in the forward 50 but won’t be the same and now makes it much harder for us to win the tough games which start next week for like six consecutive weeks Sent from my...

Early days still but lots of positives based on our first four games versus the rest of the competition: Carlton Differentials: Disposals: #5, Inside 50s: #4 Territory: #4, Intercepts: #1 Contested: #5, Uncont: #6 Ground Ball: #14, Clearance: #17 Centre Bounce: #15, Stoppage: #17 Marks: #3...

Save face and maybe stop their mob from burning down the club or Jordan Clarks home Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

To be fair it’s also believable he called himself a F idiot considering he cost them the game by allowing Cottrell to mark the ball - and even if the umpires had called play on Cotts would have swung around and snapped a goal or handballed to Owies - either way Clark messed up But because...

Fogarty offered one week suspension but it was graded high contact I saw a slow mo video that showed he only made contact to the chest - despite many claiming he hit Fyfes neck - has anyone else seen that video and can post it? And does chest qualify as high contact too or would that change...

No - it was later 100% proven the ball wasn’t out and the video from the other angle was conclusive about that But yes umpires can make mistakes particularly ones which happen so fast and they don’t have the luxury of a replay or slow mo Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Now that it looks like the ball did in fact deflect of Aish it’s also important to remember that had the umpires called play on immediately that Cortrell would have still marked the ball and then handballed it to Owies who was running past him calling for the ball and who happened to be open...

One thing I missed was Cripps actually nominated for the ruck in that last ball up when Jackson had the brain fade - and TDK was right there but two steps closer to goal. I wonder if that tactic threw Jackson off because instead of tapping the ball straight down into congestion so the ball gets...
