    Running bounce 15m vs Paid mark 15m

    This is something that reaaaallly grinds my gears. Bouncing the ball at speed should be regarded as a key skill and part of its uniqueness, but those in charge seem hell bent on removing the requirement. In the first play of the second quarter North v Geelong today, Bews received the ball in...

    Review Positives and Negatives vs Collingwood

    Dylan, agree with the concept of Inside 50's in and of themselves not being that informative and the formulation of a different metric being worthwhile, however don't think your Genuine Inside 50 [GI 50s] concept really advances any further. Unless I am missing something in definition, every...

    Prediction The Next Five (The Next Four Pt. 2)

    It isnt inconceivable for us to be three games clear at the end of the bye rounds, if we beat Swans and Essendon and Richmond lose to Geelong. Richmond, Geelong, Swans and Melbourne all have the late bye (Round 14).

    "Offside" for being in restricted area after mark/free kick, as opposed to straight 50

    Discussed tonight On The Couch the inconsistency with the 5m zone when a mark or free kick is paid. Is it worth contemplating an "offside" rule such as rugby whereby any opposition player who is within, or goes within the restricted zone (such as when following an opposition player) is ruled...

    how does a head coach address goal kicking inaccuracy within 180 hours, pray tell?

    Unofficial Preview Changes for Round 6 v Western Bulldogs @ Patersons Stadium

    am i going nuts, i thought wilson was more a tall than a runner? where would he fit with those changes? edit - on re-reading that came across as a shot, actually just a query.

    Review Autopsy - Rd 5 v Port

    lecras' arm guard causing issues? second tier players were as good in the first half as first tier players. would expect that in the second half when under pressure that second tier players would drop away and first tier players would be able to keep a seven goal lead at bay - lost it across...

    Unofficial Preview Changes for Round 5 v Port Adelaide @ AAMI Stadium

    ok. needs to put his body on line in the tackle a bit more... does he get run around too easily? how does he go getting around a shepherd?

    WCE Drinking Games

    understand your point completely. not defending his kicking skills, am defending his value to the side, to which his kicking should be irrelevant. i will not change my stance that priddis should not be kicking the ball, and that if he does it is a breakdown in team structure - just as it would...

    Adam Selwood Sprint Star

    smith would have been quicker no doubt. definitely able to stay wiht him on the burst. i understand brennan was pretty good as well with his speed, although belatedly put on him (last quarter?). did selwood get turned inside out too easily, was he standing goal side at stoppages?

    are you actually suggesting that the coaching staff havent worked with him on his kicking?

    Unofficial Preview Changes for Round 5 v Port Adelaide @ AAMI Stadium

    thought the $600k would tip your sarcasm meter. games i have been fortunate enough to see in melbs he has busted his balls to create space for jk/jd, and chased his arse off.

    he has to hit targets by foot as much as the average second ruckman and full back has to hit targets by foot. his role is to get hands on the footy and handpass to players who are actually half decent by foot.

    WCE Drinking Games

    i disagree on kicking being an absolute necessity. darren glass circa 2002 - 2009/10 couldnt hit a target to save himself, worsfold has changed his role to make him the sweeper, and he has proved adequate in kicking to players who are free while he is free himself. i doubt he could pick the ball...
