Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
Alright this reply has explained whats going on here. You can't read properly. You're upset about things I didn't say. -
Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
Pull your head in champ you said an incorrect statement of fact "X = y". I said "as I understand it". Its a qualifier. Its not a confident incorrect statement. This is your second just absolutely made up thing. Honestly what is the point in engaging with you if you make stuff up? Why are you... -
Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
Straight up that's not the case. Don't say things with confidence that are wrong. Champion data who produce these statistics record both and have a different definition for each. disposals is getting rid of the ball, possession is taking possession of it. Why are you making things up... -
Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
As I understand it you get a possession but not a disposal for that? -
Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
I didn't sledge you or anyone, I described a dynamic that exists on sports forums in general. People love to put in for unflashy meat and potatoes types. This is true of me as well it's just part of the culture of these sorts of places. If this got under your skin im sorry but given it wasn't... -
Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
sure, but if you buy sort on disposals and in about a quarter of the games he plays he gets absolutely f all, and that he plays in the part of the ground where players tend to get the most disposals and disposals are a basic rubric of how influence is measured, particularly for midfielders and... -
Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
Sick of squinting to see the good player with James. In far far too many games you find yourself thinking "would you say a tackle is worth 2 possessions... and does that equal out to a good game or ..." Just don't know if we can have one of our key midfielders be someone who will probably put... -
Autopsy 31 point loss to Collingwood
Until we can find a way of at very least breaking even in centre clearances and not letting opposition get a run of momentum in there we're going to struggle. -
Past Will Hayward
Being in the top handful in the competition in his role isn't enough for some. Has to be a lay down misere best in the comp to not warrant a derogatory nickname and calls to drop him. -
Past Will Hayward
People ask for consistency but last year the only other non key forwards with 40 plus goals are Stengle, Greene, Cameron and Fritsch. What does he actually have to do to be acknowledged as one of our best contributors to scoring? -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals
Ling turned out to be a busy but it's hard to blame that on the drafting. As I recall he was considered a pretty interesting but divisive prospect in that he was clearly the fastest player in his class and had pretty good but not great skill. He got himself turf toe a month or two into his... -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals
I'm certainly not suggesting we should do that! He's just an example of an established player in a role we have list depth in and that's the sort of player I can imagine us trading if we do decide we really want every one of those academy prospects. -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals
We'll struggle to get all the points let alone the list spots. Wouldn't be surprised if we trade out some pretty good players. Thinking of people like McInerney Florent Sheldrick, even McDonald or McLean McCartin. Or just simply not try to get the points and spots for all of them and not... -
Autopsy 65! point win against North
Do a little "who is that!?" Every time I see Vanilla in Parker's 26. He's just a delight. Grundy on the ABC radio call after the match called him Blakey 2.0. A bit less dynamism but a lot more consistency. What an absolutely perfect pick up. -
List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals
2 firsts would be very good value for him. But there's a really solid chance that no one in this draft at all ends up being as good as Chad. They might be but even if they are it will probably take a few years, 3-5 to get there. We may not select one of the at best 3 players who are better... -
Player Watch #14 Callum Mills (c)
The bright side is when he does get back (round 8-10 I reckon) he'll feel like a new player. We've still never seen the Heeney mills midfield combo I've been waiting for since I heard mills was hot shit in his draft year. Hopefully we are able to give Heeney some weeks here and there and... -
Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have ?
I think that speaks to the sort of awful family environment that produces this sort of strong preference rather than it does to Dr Peppers superiority as a drink. -
Coach Dean Cox - 2025 Coach - Signed 4 year deal
Brisbane's 3peat the most impressive one imo. Boss as the captain and one of the best mids in that team puts him daylight above anyone else to me. -
Autopsy Swans beat Dockers by 3 points
Absolutely. Got a few games, didn't embarrass himself at the level. Did some good things, dropped a few easy marks. You'll take it from these sort of 35th player in the list types. -
Autopsy Swans beat Dockers by 3 points
I agree with basically all of that except for clean. He's dropped uncontested marks every game. I'm genuinely not knocking him, reckon he'll be in and out over the next few years and wouldn't be stunned if he locks down a spot and plays 200 off games. But in terms of small forwards we've got... -
Autopsy Swans beat Dockers by 3 points
I'm happy enough with him. His activity is good and he's doing several good things a game. But he has dropped marks in 50 every game. You may not have noticed but he is leaving goals out there. With a full complement (which in fairness never actually happens) I can't see him retaining a position. -
Autopsy Swans beat Dockers by 3 points
He's dropped a mark inside 50 every game so far. There's not nothing to work with there but he's one of the first to go out. -
Autopsy Swans beat Dockers by 3 points
Been thinking about Kinnear saying that Amartey is one of his favourite ever picks over the years. Reckon he could become a genuine hazard over the next 5 years. -

Can't believe this guy is gonna win a Brownlow in his first season -

Is Cleary not training at the moment? How do you know he's not putting in effort? -

Who are the academy kids this year? They any good? -

I don't think that on the balance of probabilities that is true. -
Autopsy Swans lose to Lions by 4 pts
Finding the "why move mccartin back and leave the forward line short" criticism a bit silly. While the lions are winning all the centre clearances and we're down Melican we needed height back there. We don't move him and he probably barely sees it down forward and we give up another goal or... -
