    Nick Suban - When?

    Underappreciated post.

    Free Kick differential (The Leigh Fisher effect)

    Fair enough... though I think we'd still have gotten reamed against carlton even if the boys were wearing purple, given they were umpire favourites and we're the opposite, and malthouse was probably whinging ahead of time to get the umps onside.

    Free Kick differential (The Leigh Fisher effect)

    I'd have thought we'd wear the purple more at home, where our free kick count is usually more balanced... and we wear the white more often in away games, where we are often reamed. Seems more likely to me that it's about the venue rather than the colour.

    Free Kick differential (The Leigh Fisher effect)

    The following stat makes it a little clearer. Differential is where it's at, to help explain this one. Was the perfect storm... Golden Boys vs. the Pariahs. http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_team_rankings?year=2014&type=DA&sby=8 No idea why Carlton are so favoured by the umps. More than...

    Ryan Crowley tests positive to banned substance (Opposition supporters tread carefully)

    Indeed I did. Apologies. It was others in the thread I was trying to convince of his suitability as a tagger. Our debate was more whether we could afford to keep him on as depth. I'm glad we did.

    As you say, Blakely has more of Mundy's size and movement... but has a pretty explosive sidestep. Mundy seems to hit the slowdown button on everyone else when he sidesteps... is very deceptive. Blakely is a more explosive lateral mover... and if he can learn Matrix-mode from Mundy we'll be...

    Chris Mayne, a liability?

    Nice use of stats. You were being too diplomatic though; stealing your data... Heeney: 13 x 0.385 / 0.74 = 6.8 effective disposals per full game Blakely: 11 x 0.909 / 0.58 = 17.2 effective disposals per full game Lots of touches vs. lots of useful touches. Matt Priddis vs. Scott Pendlebury...

    Two words. Leigh Fisher. Scum that he is.

    Ryan Crowley tests positive to banned substance (Opposition supporters tread carefully)

    Nice summary... spot on. Good to see, clogged. I remember a prior discussion going quite differently. Possible weaknesses also... mightn't have as many tricks as Crowls, or as many tagging smarts yet as that's been Crowls' main job for a while now. Might also need a spell at the end of games...

    Autopsy Best 22 for 2015

    Will make it tougher for sure... but he's rarely got much ball anyway. If he can negate his match-up, then the extras will be a bonus. Has different skills to Crowls, so will likely be a better fit onball that Crowls was. If Crowley was one of the three at a centre bounce then we may as well...

    Autopsy Best 22 for 2015

    Reckon if crowls isn't playing as a tagger then he should be playing WAFL. Better options on a wing or HFF that he'd be taking the spot from. Would rather Mayne as a defensive HFF to crowls.

    Autopsy Best 22 for 2015

    Wastes a lot of mzungu's skill set to use him as a negating tagger. Mz can play just about everywhere, and often is everywhere. If we play a negating tagger that isn't crowley... then I'd rather lose MDB's rather average attacking/linking talents rather than Mz's much more useful skill set.

    There's a bloke on this forum that would double-like these quotes if he could. Surprised he hasn't liked it yet... must be busy in RL.

    Opinion Positional changes you would like to see in the NAB challenge

    Barlow was the third guy of our top 3 inside mids that I mentioned... but didn't mention him by name. Reasoning being that if mundy and fyfe were playing elsewhere on the field, then barlow would be an absolute necessity onball.
