    Again probably some truth to what you are saying but even when he's fresh Ive never seen a game where Reeves has clunked them say the way Mason Cox was clunking them in that preliminary final against Richmond. I watch Noodle when he is in a marking contest and to me he often makes the...

    Possibly some truth to this but IMHO I just don't think he's a good mark. I watched the game against the Dees and Gawn gave him an absolute touch up in the marking contests. Being a good head mark / pack mark is something you are born with (think Brian Lakes uncanny ability to judge the...

    Autopsy Round 11, 2026: Hawks drop the Crows

    As per standard operating procedure the AFL footy media are about 3 years behind the times in picking up on these things 😬 Still better late than never I guess.

    When in form Meek is actually pretty tidy with his disposal. Great kick for goal as well. Admittedly that's not what we are seeing at the moment.

    Player Watch Welcome Max Ramsden, Pick 6 2022 MSD - extends to 2026!

    I was honestly surprised at how slow he was playing deep forward against Melbourne. Lumbering was the term that came to mind. He's obviously an endurance athlete rather than a fast twitch power one.

    Peptides! The *Essendrug Dopers: come smell the bull****! -PART 2

    I wonder does anyone know of Matthew Lloyd has much of an influence within the EFC? I rate Lloyd as a football analyst, he's very good. I think he would understand pretty well what it takes to make a club successful in today's AFL Maybe he could play the Dunstall role as an ex champ coming...

    Player Watch Welcome Max Ramsden, Pick 6 2022 MSD - extends to 2026!

    From what I have seen of him this year Ramma looks like a ruck who can pinch hit down forward. He's way too slow and unagile to be full time KPF but has good endurance and around the ground ability which is perfect for a ruck. The problem for Ramma is that we have Chol who is very good...

    Peptides! The *Essendrug Dopers: come smell the bull****! -PART 2

    This is where I think Dunstall doesnt get enough credit for backing Clarko in as head coach over Ayres. Say what you want about Dunstall but having a hard headed pragmatic bastard like him making decisions is usually a good thing as he doesnt get influenced by human emotions like affection...

    Autopsy Round 11, 2026: Hawks drop the Crows

    He most definitely pays with great flair and dash, it's a key component of his game (that and his excellent overhead marking for a guy who only stands 178cm) As you say I meant that he is team focused player rather than a self grandising flog obsessed with the limelight of individual media...

    Autopsy Round 11, 2026: Hawks drop the Crows

    Because he is a humble dude who doesn't seek the limelight and just goes about his business with minimum of fuss. Geez he's been so good this year though that even the woefully poor AFL media industry might have to belatedly start to notice.

    The problem with that strategy is that Noodle really is a pretty terrible mark for a guy his size (0 marks in 3 games). I feel like I've seen him kick more goals acting as a 211cm forward pocket roving a pack than taking a big strong mark in the forward 50. He's actually weirdly good at...

    I think maybe his kicking has gotten slightly better this year to be fair to the lad. But geez his handballing execution in 2026 is erratic to say the least. Funny too as I always thought of all of the footballing skills handballing is the easiest to get good at. I mean it's pretty basic...

    Finns handballing is giving me fits this year, I wish to god he could learn to just take the first option and execute a standard AFL handball.

    No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club’s news - Part 10

    On the evidence I am seeing they should have got rid of Voss last year. In fact seeing how quickly both Carlton and The Dees have turned the corner after dumping their coaches I wonder why it doesnt happen more often in the AFL? I know continuity is good but really what was the point of the...

    He is an absolute unit for a guy who stands 170cm tall 💪
