    Retired 36. Bradley Hartman (2013- 2013)

    I have the official AFL State Screening (and Combine) results, and his jump stats were not what I am seeing here. When compared to ALL players tested in the COMBINE and ALL STATE SCREENINGS (in 2012), he placed: Right Foot Running Jump: 61cm, =176th / 196 players tested Standing Vertical...

    Did hell freeze over ?

    Have a look on the Collingwood board. There's probably one there somewhere.

    I just don't get it

    Ablett gave Geelong many years of excellent service. Even down to his final game for the club he gave 100%. He helped Geelong to be the most successful AFL club of the last decade. It's pretty clear he had a great relationship with his Geelong teammates, as you could tell when the siren went...

    2nds VFL Round 9 - Geelong v Bendigo, Skilled Stadium, 11:00AM Saturday 28 May

    Ok - Fair enough, wasn't aware of that. Like the goalkicking stat however. Hope he can push for a spot in the firsts, sounds interesting.

    2nds VFL Round 9 - Geelong v Bendigo, Skilled Stadium, 11:00AM Saturday 28 May

    This is his from his Draft day Bio from the AFL website: A tough midfielder who finished third in the Calder Cannons' best and fairest after an impressive season in the TAC Cup. One of the most underrated playes in the draft according to Cannons coach Martin Allison. Interesting that he did...

    Andrew Mackie

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped I'm not sure to be honest. My guess is that they only count if the player kicks to himself first, so the kick becomes a normal stat. I've played with a few guys who loved using that trick to pad their disposal count a little. Reason why I don't think they would...

    Andrew Mackie

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped Possibly, although I'd point out that Mackie is only 4th of the 7 for inside 50's. Given that he's 1 of 7 for rebound 50's, the stats at least seem to indicate that he's actually using the ball a bit from the back 50. Slightly off topic, I wouldn't mind finding a...

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped Ok so here is what I have. It's not about trying to only find the bad, it's just to see if the numbers can tell us anything. Considering the topic is about Mackie, and so I don't take up too much space, again, I will just mention where re ranks in regards to the 7...

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped I now have some other stats - some good, some bad, but i'll wait till tomorrow to post them as it's too late now.

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped By the way I wasn't saying we should drop him now at all, or that there is a current warped selection policy. Personally I thought there was one last year, but that problem has gone. It was more a general statement. Also people here can be very defensive versus...

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped I think you are slightly over-simplifying. It is quite possible to have higher clangers per game if you are getting a lot more of the ball (hence clangers per possession) versus total per game. One can be misleading so you have to look at both. Marks are included...

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped Thanks David. You might be surprised. Remove Freo - round 2 from the equation: Clangers per game falls by 0.1 to 3.4 - still the worst defender Effective Disposal % rises 0.5% to 69.8 Clangers as a % of total possessions: WORSE 20.2% v 19.8%. He had his worst...

    Re: Mackie MUST be dropped As I have stated previously in this thread, I really liked Mackie's game on the weekend. He contributed well, and deserves to keep his spot based on that effort. To be fair to the OP and the others on this thread who were calling for him to be dropped; 1) I think...

    Why are Collingwood supporters such bad losers?

    Nice post beez, but i think that one is a bit of a stretch. Winning hitouts, even if Jolly dominated, doesn't necessarily directly lead to domination of clearances, just look at Freo and Sandilands. Not only that, but the Geelong midfield is arguably of higher quality that the Collingwood one...

    Why are Collingwood supporters such bad losers?

    Hey entourage don't worry about it. There are always people saying things that will upset opposition supporters. Majority of people would welcome comments like yours so please just ignore any that might be a bit inflammatory. Believe me, there are tons of very inflammatory comments on the...
