You're funny.

If the ball was delivered in the same manner to any forward as it is to Dixon, and those forwards were paid the same attention as Dixon, few of them would get a better return. You cannot criticise Dixon for his return based on how the ball is delivered to him and how often. It is simply not his...

Utter Bullshit. 4 finals which are the biggest games of all:

IMO, which I believe is objective, is that Todd is doing not too bad with very limited preparation so far this season. This thread would be a lot less active if his kicking for goal was better although that could be said for all our talls bar Mitch. He does really well on a lead and in space...

LOL. The way we have kicked Todd can't complain about the number of goal assists he has had. Based on the stats those assists were more likely to be points than goals. If Dixon had 5 clangers from 7 disposals and 2 goals one in junk time you would be trashing him as usual. Particularly with the...

I'm not sure Todd has the tank this year to play wing consistently because of his limited preseason. Finlayson is a natural tall winger/forward in the Westhoff mold but we refuse to play him there.

Where do I find this footage?

Whipping boy. Far from our worst yesterday.

Yeah I enjoyed watching us get reamed by an older, more experienced Collingwood side who had 40 more contested possessions yesterday. I'm all for delisting McEntee ASAP. However Boak, Dixon even Finlayson to an extent were sorely missed yesterday because of their bigger bodies and contested...

Well if Marshall is a very good kick for goal, the stats are unequivocal that over his career and this season so far, Dixon is better. Over the last four seasons there is less than !% difference between their GA% but in your world Marshall is a good shot for goal who you will not fault while...

Dixon over his career and this season (55.3% and 44.4%) has a better GA% than Marshall (54.9% and 41.2%) and Finlayson((50.8% and 42.1%). You cannot point a finger at Charlie for goalkicking without also doing it at those other two. You may say Dixon is easily exploited, especially on the back...

Soldo has been productive up forward so far at nearly a goal a game. If Sweet can be hold his own in ruck, I look forward to seeing how Soldo goes with a decent amount of time up forward

Gimme a break. That is such sour grapes. Dixon stealing marks there had a 0 touch game. Firstly he had 7 possessions, all contested. How does 2 possessions less mean he had a 0 touch game? Secondly, does anyone think for a second that Georgiades, having a free run at the ball, would not have...

What? Now?

A good KPF can take a contested grab or bring the ball to ground for a stoppage or 50/50 situation when a KPF can't play to this perfect system you are visualisng. Which happens the majority of the time. How often do you see players in any team kick the majority of the time to a leading forward...

Spot on. This notion that we had a beautifully functioning opening forward line and Marshall was able to go beserk is preposterous. There is zero evidence to support that We were 4-6 until Dixon came back and as stated in the Marshall thread Marshall took more marks, disposals, shots on goal...

Port have the most imside 50's in the league averaging 61 per game. That doesn't including the noodling around that we do with the ball inside the inside 50 (hope that makes sense!). We may well have the most targeted forward in the league, but Marshall also plays for the team where the ball is...

No one is more frustrated than I at our continued strategy of bombing the ball long into the forward line. It should be the kick of last resort but we employ it as our go to strategy. When it doesn't work which it wasn't against Fremantle we don't have a Plan B. There are several reasons for all...

what did he say

It is a clear double standard. The sad part for the queer community, and for football in general, is that most people will remember the backlash the AFL face for their double standard when it comes to sanctions, not the penalty Finlayson received. Particularly with the response from Walsh and...

Janey's comment about provocation was in response to Lauren Wood's comparison of the Finlayson and Clarkson situations where she said: “Then they looked at the provocation. Finlayson was basically unprovoked, Clarkson’s situation, the environment was highly charged, he had St Kilda players...

So queer is acceptable? What if a player is called queer? What if one indigenous player calls another the n word? Can a queer player call another queer player a stick collection? Can of worms this post should not be taken to mean I think Finlayson's behaviour was acceptable. It was not.

Excuse me people can be born alcoholics or addicts. It is classified as a disease.

I wonder if anyone has called Cox four eyes? Is it ok to call a player gay? Calling a player a moron or an idiot is definitely crossing the line.

The AFL are a burning effigy of everything that football used to be. That's all there is to it. In isolation, the penalty is around the mark. Probably a bit harsh. I thought a couple of games was sufficient. There are few slurs that are not in some way bigoted or sexist. Have a think about what...

Luke Darcy is an a-hole. For an SA boy he is now one of the most biased Victorian/Western Bulldog commentators going around. I mentally switch off whenever I hear his voice.
