    Willie Rioli retires

    Very good player when on, thanks for the flag. Unfortunately will be remembered more for off field issues. Can't believe he ended up playing more games for Port.

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    I don't like hand outs but there's precedent for it and its been asked for now so I guess we just wait and see what happens.

    Video Highlights Goal of the Year 2024 - Who should win?

    I was addressing your comment that these goals weren't difficult because they were just about running fast, and that an "arsey snap" is harder to do. I don't agree with that. As for your new example, that is of course impressive. But as you pointed out earlier - it depends on all the...

    Video Highlights Goal of the Year 2024 - Who should win?

    I love an impossible snap or a banana falling over the boundary, don't get me wrong, but in the modern game of manic pressure on the ball carrier, being able to cover 50m+ on your own and finish with a goal is harder imo. Putting it down to just "running fast" is pretty disrespectful. I can...

    Video Highlights Goal of the Year 2024 - Who should win?

    Daicos' second goal required more evasiveness and shimmies than Reid's to be sure, and also had a bit of a broken tackle to it, but he still runs a fairly straight line (if we are counting that as a negative). Things which elevate Reid's goal though are that he collects it further back (a good...

    Do Geelong deserve to host every home game + home final at Kardinia Park?

    Yes they do. There of course need to be some minimum standard of quality and capacity for an AFL ground - and Kardinya Park meets that imo. All these nuffies who squawk out "they should have made it 80,000 or 100,000 seats, missing big games at KP is on them" have NFI about the cost of...

    Injury Christian Petracca's injury - A disgrace he was allowed to come back on the field

    And you base this statement on what? You've spoken to Petracca and the Melbourne medicos and been given a full run down of all the facts, have you?

    Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

    I recall just the one time where he was given too long and it should have been paid htb, 3 is a stretch.

    Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

    Funnily enough, the Rising Star award in Judd's year went to a KPF

    Is the MCG a big advantage on Grand Final Day for Victorians against Interstate Sides? /Are Interstaters advantaged during the home and away season?

    I agree that there does need to be some kind of minimum requirements in terms of GF seating, facilities, access, infrastructure etc. But setting these minimum numbers at things like 80k+ seating are just unrealistic. May as well be 150k+ So what if less people get to see the GF live at the...

    Who won the Judd/Kennedy trade?

    Let's not be too hasty, It's only sensible to wait and see who the great grandkids play for and how they go

    Toast Retirement: Josh J Kennedy

    Out and out champion and a top bloke to boot! Incredibly consistent and great durability to be able to pull his 196cm frame onto a plane every other week. Kicked some clutch goals, too.

    Will the Tim Kelly trade go down as one of the worst ever ?

    Maybe he didn't live up to the pick 3 hype but 12 seasons, 215 games and a premiership is hardly a bust. Not sure who Dennis Armstrong is but you're welcome to make your case.

    Certified Legendary Thread Sneaking in to the Grand Final............

    Strange logic there mate. You are effectively saying that when the odds of harm are low, lawbreakers should be let off the hook? Let's apply that logic using your wording: "No matter how badly it gets beat up, there are still tens of thousands of people who drink drive every day...Letting one...

    AFL Grand Final Grand Final Tickets - Got yours? Want some?

    You might get away with wearing a non-playing team's jumper to a regular H&A match (I still wouldn't), but not to a final and definitely not to a grand final. Disrespectful imo.

    Analysis 2021 Goals from Free Kicks

    My point is that a goal from a player taking the advantage is not one that directly results from the free kick because 90% of the time a goal would be the result regardless if the free kick was paid or not.

    Analysis 2021 Goals from Free Kicks

    Good research but it doesn't tell us anything about alleged umpiring bias. Carlton is an obvious outlier, I'll give you that. I don't think any of the others are though, Richmond included. I wouldn't count the advantage goals as being directly from free kicks. I realise a lot of players stop...

    Willie Rioli selected for eagles

    I don't think informally taking his "king whack" is enough, OP. Willie should appeal both his AFL ban and his Court fine and try get tougher penalties because it's just, y'know, the right thing to do. Seriously though, you have a strange take on this.

    Analysis Rolling All-Australian team for 2021

    To an extent, yes. Wouldnt call it a big drop off though. But Nic and WC haven't really taken advantage of it. WC's form has been abysmal and NN's form has been slightly below his pre-bye form.

    Analysis Rolling All-Australian team for 2021

    Darcy has had a breakout season for sure. But history tells us that guys who come from nowhere in a season (i.e. not talked about contending for AA in previous years) need to really hit it out of the park to get the nod. Sneaking in as second ruck won't cut it for a first timer. Add to that...

    Analysis Rolling All-Australian team for 2021

    The AA side has had 2 ruckmen for the last 3 years running, I expect both Max and Nic will make it in 2021. Nic on the bench at present for mine with 4 games to play. Unlikely he will get the starting gig over Gawn at this stage. I think it would take a big drop off in Gawn and Melbourne's form...

    Do Geelong deserve to host every home game + home final at Kardinia Park?

    Absolutely Geelong should host every home game at Kardinia Park. I may hate the ground with every fibre of my being, but it's their home deck.

    News Clarkson succession plan: Mitchell to coach in 2023

    We have seen what can happen in the space of an off season. A team can go from easily missing finals one year to cementing top 4 or even challenging the next. I think whether or not Clarkson consents will have less impact than (and even be affected by) how well the Hawks are going by around...

    List Mgmt. Best young key forward in the game

    I was moreso pointing out the irony of the post rather than having a direct dig at Naughton's kicking. As to your stats, I'd hazard a guess that the gap would be bigger if you took into account non-scoring shots. But that is based only on anecdotal evidence. Misses are also more glaring when...

    What's even funnier about him using that video is that Naughton missed that shot on goal

    Melbourne: what do we make of them

    I haven't watched the game in years but to my memory it was your mids and fowards, moreso than your defence, that let you down.

    Melbourne: what do we make of them

    3 years on and a serviceable performance at Optus since would indicate it doesn't mean much. But we know what the media will do to pump up the match and no doubt it will be in the backs of some players' minds who played in the PF. It's only a mental hurdle. As for the Dees generally, it's not...

    List Mgmt. Best young key forward in the game

    Allen is listed at 192cm but there was an article last year where he said he had grown to 194-195cm. He's noticeably taller than Darling (191cm) so I think that's about right.
