    Has there been an over reaction to rule changes by us

    What would you want us to have done? Keath has just turned 34 and the consensus view on here seemed to be that he’d play late give he was a late convert to AFL. We added Sam Darcy to the list with him playing most if his U18 football behind the ball and that’s where he debuted. We added...

    Reason for thinking this? Players in mind we like or some other agenda?

    No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs Only - Part 6

    Yep for most of the game I agree and do find it quite interesting, but the last 1-2 minutes of that showdown deserved a little bit of excitement. Maybe he was overly mindful of coming across as being more excited for Port than the Crows so just played everything deadpan.

    Hinkley is a great listen for mid-week radio but not for commentary in the last minutes of a close game. I don’t need Bradshaw and Brian screaming, but Ken needs just a little bit more excitement in his voice.

    Autopsy Dogs fall short against Freo

    I’d be interested in the stats on this. Every team thinks they lose games through inaccuracy more than most, concede more red time goals, concede run ons more than most, etc.

    Amiss missed the shot at the end of the 3rd quarter.

    Game Day Dogs V Freo Marvel 7.30pm Tonight What Can We Expect

    If you’re at the game watch English behind the ball. He’s doing well to be out there.

    Game Day Dogs V Freo Marvel 7.30pm Tonight What Can We Expect

    9/10 times (probably more) Bont takes that ball and streams forward. It was great reading of the play by Young.

    Game Day Dogs V Freo Marvel 7.30pm Tonight What Can We Expect

    English really struggling to move behind the ball. Not sure if gassed having not played for a month or sore.

    Game Day Dogs V Freo Marvel 7.30pm Tonight What Can We Expect

    Imagine what we’d think of Scott West these days. I don’t mind it, the occasional one is to a teammate under pressure but usually he’s super clear and the handball receive gets clean meters gained.

    Game Day Dogs V Freo Marvel 7.30pm Tonight What Can We Expect

    He’s always been like this though. He gets away with it if he’s clean, but with the smallest fumble or not taking the ball perfectly then he doesn’t execute

    Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 8 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

    I questioned Adrian Anderson on this years ago and he said the AFL didn’t want it compensation picks. Their view was that the club now had more salary cap room to pursue other players, but it was the clubs who demanded it to get the free agency introduction over the line. The examples at the...

    Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 8 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

    I’m just disappointed the AFL didn’t bring in Opening Round selections for the draft. The QLD and NSW teams should get the first 4 picks and then Round 1 starts at Pick 5. Would be a great way to grow the game in the northern states and that’s import just because.

    They’ve actually done well in quite a few trades. Got massive overs for Flanders which ultimately allowed them to bring in Petracca. I think they pretty comfortably won the Lukosius trade too. Didn’t get completely ****ed over losing Rankine when out of contract like we did with Smith.

    I believe this happened to Gia back in the day. Partial tear in December and was back playing in the first month of the season.

    Or you just find a better scoring system to calculate the difficulty of double ups, travel, etc. If Essendon are garbage and Collingwood has a guaranteed double up against them then their other double ups should skew harder. The 3 groups of 6 teams currently used is too arbitrary when they...

    A stop gap for what role? He’s nowhere near tall enough or strong enough yet for a KPD if that’s what you mean. As a 3rd tall he’d have a lot developing to do to be better than the current backups in Coffield and Cleary. Not sure what this adds vs continuing to develop him a a mid/fwd?

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    I think a few people definitely are suggesting precisely that, but I accept that you are not. I can fully get on board with the following being the framework that should have been adopted by AFL: We don't think it actually creates any plausible potential conflict of interest; however Lots of...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    Can you please explain this one? Is your equivalence is: Work for T**ty bar = poor moral character Work for Sportsbet = poor moral character The AFL and schools should not employ people of poor moral character Or are we still talking about conflicts of interest? In which case I don't...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    They're licenced in the Northern Territory. That licence requires them to comply with various conditions including federal law. Being found guilty of bribing, inducing, etc. an umpire to fix results would very clearly breach those requirements. There's also obviously the consumer perception...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    Is this really how odds work? I understand they need to be "framed" at the very opening of a book, but don't they then just move with the market - i.e. if lots of money is put on Player [X] for the Brownlow then the odds move. I thought the idea was the betting agency usually made money either...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    I similarly don’t get the problem, and I think it’s barely even a potential conflict. The idea that Sportsbet would only be paying him, or paying him extra, so that on occasion he might swing a game in a way that makes them marginally more money is ridiculous. They're not risking their...

    Autopsy Hawks Far Too Good For Dogs In 40 Point Drubbing 104 - 64

    Yep, agreed that shouldn't be expected to beat Reeves, Crossley types in his second year as an undersized ruck. The obvious concern with Smith is he was always going to be an undersized ruck and the new rules completely go against the style of play he was going to be developed for. Even when...

    Autopsy Hawks Far Too Good For Dogs In 40 Point Drubbing 104 - 64

    Yeah I'm not saying he didn't have a good game in that Grand Final. I'm just noting that there's a big difference between "putting in a shift" or "comfortably beating" Crossley as asserted (despite the stats stating otherwise). Then when I overlay the games I have seen him play including this...

    Autopsy Hawks Far Too Good For Dogs In 40 Point Drubbing 104 - 64

    To directly address your question: Without knowing who the author is or if the AFL website asks for club contributions to those player profiles it’s hard to say if it’s independent I’d be 99% confident in saying nearly every profile is written with a positive skew, but happy to be shown...

    Autopsy Hawks Far Too Good For Dogs In 40 Point Drubbing 104 - 64

    Was the writing off of Hynes in the match thread? Most of the “negative” discussion during the week was either (1) commenting on some genuine flaws that need work, or (2) stating a preference for Murphy Reid which doesn’t seem unreasonable. A lot of this was flippantly argued against as writing...
