    100% correct, he's a 'great around the boys' selection at the very least ;) The hatred is strange though... Perhaps the perceived nepotism from his old man being coach (even though that is coming up 25 year ago) gifting him early opportunities, or being linked to Shaun's merry go round of...

    Yeah spot on, either one of Marnus or Smith being not out overnight (and going on with it tonight) would've been handy! Both are class, it would be unlikely both will fail again at Lord's.

    However the match ends up, the loser will face more than the usual criticism based on their controllable decisions. If England lose: Stoke declared too early on day 1, not selecting a keeper that can actually keep If Australia lose: far too defensive in the field in the first innings, not...

    Is the start of play scheduled to begin early to make up for time lost yesterday? Nada on Cricinfo or a quick Google search...

    What's the best case scenario for 2023?

    The worst case scenario is a false dawn, with a middling ladder position (8th - 12th). I can actually see this happening; softer draw, a better injury run (it can't be worse than this year), and some fresh ideas in the S&C team resulting in a better preseason. It pains me to even think these...

    Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Melbourne

    The camera was on these two post game when they were having a chat, and I couldn't help but notice the vast difference in physique. Pickett is chiseled and looks like a finely tuned athlete, whereas Ryan looks physically the same as when he was running around for Subi.

    Banter RDT 163 - More of a Comment, Really

    It must have been, unless Chuck got super fit very quickly. Simmo, rookie list C.Rhodes for 2022. I reckon he'd make a great inside mid.

    They have to ask the question, it will be used to validate their current deals, or help retain a partner who is considering leaving, or use it to pitch to potential new partners. Any data the club can get is used in this way; open rates on eDM's, click throughs, impressions/swipes on socials...

    Prediction Next 4 Games

    Hearing it is going to be the late/twilight (4.40pm) game at GMHBA - so it is a seven day break from the Bulldogs game.

    I don't get the frothing over this bloke. Already 30, averages 4 marks and 1.5 goals a game as a supposedly 'power' forward. For the hulking, intimidating presence he his pumped up for; those are small forward numbers. Even when he gets the red mist up and looks to physically impose himself...

    Autopsy Round 12 - Positives & Negatives vs Carlton

    Attending both the Giants game and yesterday live, both felt eerily similar in that neither team could create any momentum and break away. The key difference and biggest positive over the last three weeks was the hunger and intent shown in the last quarter. The players hunted the ball and...

    Yep. I was just thinking him. Was barely sighted last night, will be primed for a 3 minute burst next week. He's a strange case, aside from his kick after the siren to beat the Bombers in 2017 I can't remember him ever stepping up in a big game during his time at the Swans. Has size and pace to...

    It was an interesting game. If we get over Collingwood tomorrow there is plenty to be buoyed about playing the Cats at the moment. Port and the crowd ramped up the pressure, but the Cats didn't fold - they were just unable to score. For them this follows a worrying pattern from round 18 when...

    I still believe Fido should've had a jab in his sore hip and played ahead of Kasey Green. I heard a few years after this period that he declared himself fit to play but Woosha ruled him out fairly bluntly and he announced his retirement not long after the loss.

    Autopsy Positives and Negatives vs Bombers

    I noticed that the balls used in last nights game were well 'kicked in'. Even early in the first quarter you could see scuff marks up near the stitching at the ends, and the logos appeared a bit more weathered/faded. They also looked slightly rounder and less pointy than a ball taken straight...

    List Mgmt. Contracts. Trades. Draft. Other Assorted Crap. 2020 Edition

    Sinclair has thrived in Sydney since his arrival on and off field. On field is partly due to unfortunate circumstances to others (Tippet, Naismith), he has played a lot of senior footy literally because there has been no other option. I was at the SCG last year when Grundy literally rag dolled...

    100% agree on the Backchat episode. I am surprised Gary Stocks approved it for upload. Fascinating insight and the pure candidness (and hangover) from Schofield makes for incredible listening.

    List Mgmt. Welcome to West Coast: Bailey Williams (Pick 35)

    If it were a 7 day break Allen would be playing (4 days ain't enough for a decent corkie), Waterman has still been able to work aerobically while his hand heals, Redden is a chance to return and Yeo would be targeting Rd 18 to get a gallop against Norf before finals. Not all doom and gloom!
