    Player Watch #SP300 (Scott Pendlebury Appreciation Thread)

    In his prime used to just take all day and cruise through traffic without being touched and just set up play perfectly, always hitting a target and that target being the smartest/best target to hit in any one situation. Very little candy selling, more a telepathic kind of evasion, as in reading...

    Vale Graham "Polly" Farmer (10.3.1935 - 14.8.2019)

    12 page special in the west australian. State funeral. I didnt know much about him or see him play. But the man was revered and from where he came from and who he was, seems to me he was a truly inspiring and yet humble figure.

    Best Aboriginal player of all time?

    One game I remember very clearly (and have just looked up the stats again) is in 2006 against us, cut an elite midfield to absolute ribbons pretty much solo. Shaun was equal leading goal scorer (2), leading possesion winner (34, 20 contested), 7 more clearances then anyone else on the ground...

    Player Watch Eddie Betts 300th game

    Ever since that goal against collingwood at the g in about 05 has been one of the most consistently freakish small forwards ever.

    Ben Brown Staging

    200cm sideshow gets ragdolled/does a cartwheel when man places hand on his chest. Nearly kicked him in the head on the way down too. Classic.

    Autopsy AFLX Review - It...wasn’t bad?

    I didnt like it. Super cringey. Not football at all. The classic grand finals we have had this millenium do more to showcase our great game. The grand final is picking up internationally i think. Reaction type vids by overseas youtubers do more i would say. I used to enjoy footy in early...

    Best player of the modern era?

    Ok if i have to lol nah all g. Could go on all day. Cuz was a heart and soul player of the eagles. A great on field leader, fan fave, wasnt the tallest wasnt the quickest but had class all over him, un tackleable in his own way. Worked as hard on a footy field as we are ever likley to see. His...

    Best player of the modern era?

    Yeh Judds Normie in 05 was really something. 7 gazelle like clearances and then lightning runs in the first quarter, or something. Cousins just won the brownlow, Kerr runner up and then this Judd guy was all "nah im still the best boys", in 10 mins of footy. Poll has it correct. The modern big 3...

    Opinion Do you believe footballers work hard?

    I daresay Tom Lonergan earned his. All those mid twenty dudes that get headaches like teenagers get pimples and cant stand up straight anymore without getting dizzy? Fair trade for a bit of easy tuppy at the Cas though amirite?

    Player Watch Who's the better full back? RANCE, SCARLETT or SILVAGNI?

    So a video (posted incessantly) of Rance knocking himself out is being used to prove what exactly? Hes better then SOS? Tigger logic.

    Acts that ended AFL careers

    Caracella was a very clean player. Awkardly smooth aswell. Often left himself exposed with his unique waddle awkard style. Plus a pretty couragous player. But this was just an accident. In real time not a whole lot Notting could do imo.

    Bachar Houli & Adam Saad Friday night MCG response to Senator Anning speech

    Man that Peter Norman photo and story is amazing, surprised we dont hear more of it as one of our prouder moments in Australian history.

    Cyril Rioli retires

    I dont recall any unsavory moments from Cyril, seemed a real fair yet hard at it player, which can be forgotten as we remember the easy things like him being super slick, insane skills, great game sense, insane athleticism and a hungry tackler. Seemed to be a real heart and soul player of...

    No Free to Air game

    My mate hooked up a free two week trial with just his email just so we could watch the Tigers play the Cats yesterday. It'l be someone elses turn in a few weeks. But seriously, its a pretty decent product tbh. Easily worth the money if you watch enough sport.

    Should the season opener be a GF rematch ?

    To answer my own question, nah it was Demons vs Saints that opened the 2007 season lol. Was still GF rematch in the first round though.

    Should the season opener be a GF rematch ?

    Wasnt it a GF rematch in 2007 or perhaps it wasnt the first game of the round?

    Short-Lived or Forgotten Media Careers of Ex-Players

    Man, I thought SOS was really good hey. I especially remember his time as special comments guy on Ch 10 as the eagles were doing really well then. Overall I thought SOS was a really good bloke aswell, not a whole lot of ego. Footy can be a simple game really, and sometimes those captain...

    Nicky Winmar to be honoured with statue.

    Played for Pingelly (I know, another one!) and was a local legend there. My mums boyfriend played with with him there growing up and its basically why he is a saints fan-from WA LOL. They lifelong friends to this day aswell. Good to have a statue there of an iconic moment in OZ and something...

    Best 5 Defenders Since 2000

    He never dominated yeh thats true, different to Lake aswell. Glass was also the Captain from 2008-2014, 3 times a B & F winner as fullback, runner up to C Judd in 2006 B & F count in Premiership year aswell. Glass is way ahead of Talia imo.

    Tier 1: Ablett Jr & Judd (Ablett Jr over Judd though, just) GOAT Tier Tier 1.0: Akermanis, Black, Ricciuto, Buckley, Goodes, Cousins, Swan, Mitchell, Fyfe, Dangerfield and Martin. These guys are the great generational players that come about every 20 odd years for your club. Tier 1.0.0 or...

    Mark Ricciuto. Worst 8 time All-Australian of all time?

    He would have been very handy for the 2006 finals series which he missed, even as just a forward. I rated Roo though, he had strength, toughness, skills, smarts and was big for a mid.

    Is Shaun Burgoyne the best clutch player of all time?

    Anutha thing, He Des and Troyed us way back in 2006 with a match winning effort I clearly remember. Looking it up and yeh, 34 Touches (20 contested), 2 goals, 12 clearances, 7 tackles and a Goal assist. As a super quick, skillful, and agile classic roving mid. Made Kerr and Cousins look quite...
