Poe was Edgar, not Edward though.

2002 Qualifying Final win against the top of the table Port Adelaide is hard to beat, especially doing it without Nathan Buckley. It took a huge effort from Licuria who gathered 40 disposals while taking Francou out of the game to win it, and we slipped into the schedule that if afforded the top...

Geez, I think it's probably harsh to say that his form is due to getting dropped (therefore justifying his omission). He would probably argue that this is how he typically contributes (even last year), rather than as a result of being dropped. His omission last year is by far the most...

He was on one leg during the finals.

And a Normie.

Well, you have suggested selecting our 200cm premiership full forward! :)

A Daicos girl would be amazing to watch on the AFLW footy field... Seriously change the game. I want sons AND daughters!

I actually think Noble is a very good sub candidate. Change out a ruck and bring in a fresh hard runner from half back (which is where our scoring thrusts start). I actually think this is where I would be looking line up our subs to go to all things being equal.

I don't buy into the narrative that some supporters love to pedal, which is that the AFL dislikes us wants us to fail (which makes no sense at all - if anything it is the opposite). I think the representation of the Port game being Sunday is a typo.

Okay, the link on page 1 in this thread has it on Sunday - must be a typo (thankfully)

In the link earlier in this thread it shows as Sunday... must be a typo hopefully...

Why would the AFL have scheduled us a Sunday game before the ANZAC Thursday game...? Surely a Friday or Saturday would be better. That makes no sense.

You can promote someone from your twos whenever you like.

So what's a pull? :)

Okay, this would be excellent then

He won't slip to post-40 draft pick, so the odds suggest not Jen.

Hopefully not this year, otherwise we won't get him!

Thought they'd make it and star: Damien Adkins, Craig Jacotine, Mark Orchard, Lee Walker, Tom Davidson, Aaron James, Beams Mk II, Brayden Sier, Elijah Edwards (:)) Thought they'd never make it: Murphy, Maxwell, Presti, Maynard, Toovey

Yep, it was devastating to see Willo traded. But let's remember it is what brought us Clement (and Holland)

Wait, there are haters for Jen and what she is doing? I honestly don't see how that can be possible! Either way, there are thousands more lovers than haters of your efforts Jen - please know that.

Is there training today?

Yep, exactly right.

Sort of. Taking pitches is just an indicator of being able to control the strikezone, which is a characteristic of those with good on base numbers (and general hitting numbers).

It's pretty cool, but I don't think we've got someone who fits the brief... Another suggestion (that someone else has made) is instead of 'woof', we do a 'ssshhhhhhh' every time Whisper Daicos kicks it... :)

No, this isn't what moneyball is about though. It isn't about losing expensive players, and just replacing them with cheap players. As has been mentioned, it is about finding a more accurate way to assess the contribution players make to wins, and since no one else values them that way, their...

Well this is where the success of it came from. The stat that drove actual success (in the book it was on base percentage, but it has since been revised to be OPS, which is on base plus slugging percentage, for those who have any interest in baseball) was different to what anyone else in the...

Yep, exactly. See my post above.

I am with you. I hate it when people mis-reference the aquisition of cheap players as 'moneyball' moves. The only real AFL moneyball example is that of the Hawks. They figured out that kicking efficiency was the main defining stat of successful teams, and that left footers generally had a...

We are talking about one of the best marks in the game in Curnow. Reef isn't even close to that. We can't draw parallels just because they are the same cm in height...

Huh? GW is taking a sabbatical..? How long for, and why?
