Hi guys, been awhile since I’ve posted on here. Just a quick update, I work in the health field and have a special interest in mental health. In the recent years with the pandemic, I’ve suffered from several burnouts and depressive episodes so I’ve cut back my work hours significantly in the...

This isn’t a reactionary discussion for the sake of random discussions. It’s a discussion for the betterment of the game. Some rules should be left untouched, and some should be modified when it warrants. In the least, some rules need to be questioned regardless of whether there will be...

I added your suggested answer to the poll. That should cover most bases for “no”.

I’ll add that as a poll option.

I saw the second half of the Power vs Lions game in yesterday’s Qualifying Final. Port were ridiculously unlucky to have called a tactical sub for Boak to replace DBJ early in the second half. I think it was literally within minutes after the sub call, that 2 injuries had occurred within...

You do realise there is no right or wrong answer to a discussion thread? I think the Coleman medal can remain as is if a player has a clear lead in the number of goals. If 2 players have the same amount of goals, then I’d like to see only one judged to be the winner, but not just looking at the...

I’ve never really given the Coleman medal much thought previously. I guess, until this thread and my fetish for watching Tex kick goals this year.

The fact that Tex has finally made his first AA is part to do with this discussion topic. I’m sure Tex has had some genuine great seasons over the 16 years and he was arguably the top 3 forwards in some other season(s), but he missed out because he may have came fourth or fifth in the Coleman...

I’m not actually driving a narrative, that’s just the drama queens on here chucking a big fuss out of a thread to pose some questions. I don’t have any hate for Curnow by the way. I actually think he’s one of the best modern forwards we have currently and I look forward to seeing him kick some...

I pride myself in being a footy purist. I’ve made a lot of love comments on the Port board on some of their players this year as I’ve seen a few of their games on Tv. So I don’t just talk about all things Crows.

So it’s not ok for Tex to make a racial slur, while it’s cool for you to call him a twat? Right..

Well since you asked.. a look at the major goal scorers for Crows vs Blues (I’ve only included forwards with at least 1 goal average per game): AFL Goalkickers for Season 2023 AFL Goalkickers Total Statistics for Season 2023. www.footywire.com Crows Tex 76.34 Rankine 36.17 Fog 34.23 Pedlar...

I like your lateral thinking. Didn’t even think of the frees. Basically, I’m asking if the 2 forwards kicked the exact same amount of goals/behinds, do both deserve the Coleman? Or should we consider additional factors?

I’m just here to create a discussion. This isn’t about a whinge. More specifically, I can already guess what the Blues fans would say. Just more interested in the non-biased supporters’ opinions. If you find it cringey then run away.

The Coleman medal is pretty much as simple as “most goals kicked by a forward in the minor rounds”. With the goals tally being very close this year with Tex (76 goals) and Curnow (78 goals), it’s got me thinking whether there should be some additional criteria or perhaps a fan vote to determine...

I saw the game where he got 40 possessions in a very wet match. Handled the ball as if it was dry, while most others were fumbling the ball. Pound for pound, has got to be one of the most bravest to have ever played footy. Possession for posession, not many others I like to watch more. And...

Thanks mate! I remember you also, although I don’t remember much of the details of the past. I find that most who are regular contributors on here are often genuine great people, whether if it’s asking for support or giving out the support. Myself, I’ve suffered from several episodes of...

For those who didn’t know, Chelsea Randall was assessed by the AFL independent party to have had a concussion from video footage of the game, despite being cleared of concussion by the Crows medico’s testing and all the HIA protocols. So I believe the clash between Aliir and Jones will more...

Thanks for the shout out! I’ve been through some episodes of burnout during the pandemic but overall it’s really an easy fix for me as I’ve been cutting my workload and playing more sports, and trying to get more fit. I don’t come on here as often as before due to other life ventures and...

I don’t come here often these days due to strenuous workloads and family stress. I just don’t have the mental strength to help others here as often as I used to. However, I just want to share a few things reading on some prior posts: - mental health is common, you aren’t weak when you suffer...

Hi guys, I haven’t been around on this thread much lately due to work and life BS. My wife is currently looking after her mom due to Covid19 and depression. So spending time alone and later having dinner at my parents. Wishing everyone who participates on this thread (as well as the lurkers) a...

The MRO was contemplating on suspending Smith for concussing himself. (Joke) But seriously, it was definitely contender for mark of the year, not just mark of the week. It was absolutely courageous too with the angle of his body during the mark, and the risk of a hard landing.

The Brownlow medal is a flawed concept, because it’s primarily based on “who does the most things with the ball in a match”? Invariably, this will end up being midfielders getting the most recognition. Picture 3 players during a match with the following stats: Player 1. Midfielder of team A -...

Merry Christmas guys! I know there is often a paradox where mental health may possibly worsen during Christmas time. Just know there are plenty out there with mental suffering and there will be someone who can lend us a hand/ear of support. Take care of yourselves ya bunch of crazies! (I say...

Short answer: no. Longer answer: definitely not. Longest answer: Richo is a freak on his good day, but nowhere near consistent as Dusty. Also his kicking can be some of the most atrocious in the history of full forwards.

So it looks a pretty convincing argument that mids are likely the winners, but interesting to see who the runner-up is? :think: Just a thought on the Rucks team, They'd likely to get a 20-30m advantage during centre bounces if playing against the Mids. But likely will get their ass whipped by...

An interesting thought experiment for you guys to ponder.. Say the AFL has decided there can only be 4 teams. The teams are only made up of specific role-types, consisting of teams with only: - Ruckmen (players who have played ruck most of their career) - Midfielders (players who have been...

I hope his replacement will be a better one. The game needs it.

A common suggestion for unresolved grief is to focus on all the good times when he was alive and well, and try to not focus on the times when he was in the deteriorating stage. It’s really no different if you were the one who had passed away, and the question is how would you like someone to...

At least you guys respond from time to time. The presence is much appreciated in any case!
