Ah I see. I knew the AFL removed priority pick compensation in 2012, but was confused as to why Adelaide had a priority pick around the same time and assumed it was to do with the end of first round Bock compensation. We got the tail end of the old system. My mistake.
Losing Boak and Gray and gaining Petracca is not a net gain. Sides win premierships because they add the talent of youth to a list that is already capable of making finals, improving the list as a whole.
The Brisbane who received a draft assistance package of an extra end of first round draft pick back in 2016 after winning 7 games in two seasons, yes. Which is what I was referring to. We would have never gotten that because a) we aren’t in Victoria where having 10 clubs means that there is a...
Imagine if Boak had decided to * off to Geelong. You know what draft pick we would have received for him? Due to GWS compromising the draft, we would have got Pick 16 + change.
With Pick 16, we don’t make finals in 2013/2014, Robbie Gray probably leaves for Victoria for a chance to play...
If we're going to beat teams like GWS, Sydney (and to a lesser extent, Adelaide), we need to play a style that forces their +1 in defence to be accountable for a key defender/ruck who has pushed up the ground to provide an attacking option before they can begin their wave, because that's how...
On the theme of #marginalgains:
Last year, Port scored 109 points from 59 inside 50s and conceded 69 points from 48 inside 50s.
This year, Port scored 120 points from 57 inside 50s but conceded 70 points from just 40 inside 50s.
The reduction in inside 50s is good. So our team defence has...
"The Pentagon built this year’s budget under restrictions of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which limits the Biden administration’s spending on national defense to $895 billion. In adhering to the FRA, Raven said the Navy prioritized people and platforms currently in the fleet over...
I listened to it.
September 2013 - Ambassador Victoria Nuland assumed her position as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs

Sweet took 3 marks (1 contested) in 40% game time against Fremantle. Hayes averaged 1.5 marks (0.2 contested) a game over his entire career.
Sweet had 3 tackles in 40% game time. Hayes averaged 1.6 tackles over his entire career.
I’m quietly confident that whatever Jordon lacks as a tap...
They won against Hawthorn by 3 points. And we had a better record than Adelaide at home for the 2023 regular season (they lost four times, we lost three times - twice to Adelaide).
Didn't he say something along the lines of 'In a slow play, at what point did you see in our reviews that you come up the ground?' (can't remember the exact phrasing)
If he was talking to Dixon or Lord, this is probably because if they come up the ground, they will either a) drag their...
Yes, it would impress you, wouldn't it?
Here's something for you to chew on: the bill as it stands proposes the hiring of 1,500 new border patrol personnel.
When Trump was elected in 2016, one of the first things he did was sign an order to hire 15,000 new border personnel.
"After Trump...
Richmond went on to win two more flags after 2017, with the following players making the All-Australian team after Chaplin moved there (these players were part of the Richmond 2012 squad):

Alex Rance - 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018

GWS is following Collingwood:
Collingwood
Appoints new coach for 2012 (Nathan Buckley)
Makes a GF in 2018 and loses
Goes through a wilderness period with same coach
Changes coach before 2022 (Buckley to McRae)
Loses PF by 1 point with new coach
Wins GF in 2023
GWS
Appoints new coach for 2013...
Who is this Jeni Farnsworth? Some absolute nobody, no doubt. Goes to check her Twitter profile. Yep. A nobody.
Why the * would Putin want to use Hunter Biden's appointment to Burisma to 'control Ukrainian gas'? He had Rosneft who owns 95% of TNK-BP for that - they already controlled...
Collingwood’s entire premiership was based on marginal gains.

Won vs Brisbane @ MCG by 4
What if:
1. Keane slips the tackle?
2. Keane handballs to Smith instead of spinning?
3. Keane gets rid of the ball as soon as he's tackled (like he's supposed to)?
If I'm a coach, I'm telling my players to 1) play to the whistle and 2) not assume that your teammate is going to do X (tackle, in...

By extrapolation, a 100 mph fastball would be a 0.4 second reaction time. Every single resource I've found states 0.4 seconds as the reaction time to the fastest baseball pitch.
This is what...
They are though.
I like using points scored per inside 50 vs points conceded per opposition inside 50 as a good measure of performance.
Collingwood went the entire year at 1.72 points per inside 50 and conceded 1.46 points per opposition inside 50. A difference of 0.26 points over a +74...
He didn't short step into the contest like most would have?
Your contention goes to the idea that Powell-Pepper was aware that Rioli's tackle would swing Keane around and increase his momentum before Rioli had even laid the tackle.
The frame rate of the incident on the AFL website is 26...
