I often like his videos, but on this occasion the data and his assumptions contradict each other a bit too much for my taste. It reads more as an opinion than an analysis. Edit: I am very impressed with James Allison's view on the rules regarding the 10 seconds penalty, as an aside.

Well, let's have a look at this "new" data that Red Bull are throwing around, because it tells a bit of a different story... First of all, it shows how strong the tow was along the straight. The Merc was set up for higher top end speed anyway, but Lewis reaching 315 was even higher than his...

Heartening: we are so close. The system works. If we can iron out some dumb errors and all of these injuries, then we are well on our way. Disheartening: we are so far. Injuries seems to be a systemic problem. We have too many injury prone players and are not handling them well. And we have...

I wouldn't blame the cook just yet for not making a three course meal if all he had were spuds. We're just in a really bad situation injury & list management wise.

NARRATOR: They may however not have had the talent the faithful were hoping for.

the great thing about nicknames is that you don't get to pick your own

Though it may not have been pretty, I don't think we should underestimate this win. We stood up against the same bully-tactic that we crumbled under last week. It's a significant step forward.

True, still should have been Gibbon's kick (if one at all)

I can see definite improvement from last year's game, even though the result was disappointing. I mean, just look at who we had at our disposal. They tried hard, but it's just not a team of talent that is going to win many games. And even though they're much maligned, I thought our...

Here's what I would do (with the caveat that I only watched the game online and from half the world away) 1. I thought we really lacked a ruck, a dedicated ruck, as it just isn't Lobb's forte. So I would bring in either Darcy or Meek. This would allow for Lobb to move to the forward 50, and...

Scaring ourselves out of hiring JLo just because he is so obviously the best option out there, would be such a Freo thing to do.

If his body were as quick as his mind... he knows where to go, just doesn't get there fast enough. Still, nice to see someone with a footy brain. Solid back up for Darcy.

JLo has a great track record over the last few years, though. Has done wonders for a depleted Collingwood backline (last year too)
