What's the average cost of a membership spread over 40 players?

How much does your membership cost?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Need the season to end asap so his trade value doesn't keep decreasing

 

[Snake_Baker]

I noticed a number of occasions today, him being bumped off the ball by players half his size. I think there is intensity issues. His work rate in Q1 was very poor.

Todays match output.

11 contested , 5 clearances, 3 stoppages, 5 one percenters, 2 contested marks are all elite stats for a ruckman.

Not just good.

ELITE!

People need to get their heads out of their arses. Anyone suggesting Majak should take his place needs their head read.

If he can pick up on his skill execution and simple fumbles he would be the AA ruckman again.

More than $100 and less than $200.

I'm TrooRoo for life so it's direct debit and I don't take much notice.

 

[Devington]

The haters are going to dive all over that kick, but his intensity couldn't be faulted.

However, his ball handling and disposal have dropped right off the cliff. It's clearly confidence.

I thought he was very poor in the first, got the bronx cheer in the second then lifted immensely for the next 5-10 minutes, and for the rest of the game played at about the same level he has all year. There was such a visible lift in intensity that it made me angry. His around the ground stats are very good for a ruckman, but only OK compared to his not-so recent many dicked past. It's his ruck craft that has concerned me most of all though (that's what is damaging the team the most, in terms of his contributions), I have no idea of the stats but I would be willing to wager decent money that the ratio of hitouts to advantage between him and his opponent has dropped significantly.

Off topic...but one thing is certain...i will be using the 2017 Magazine to start the Webber for Xmas Day.

 

[Devington]

And I don't know how much is injury, form, confidence, depression, niggles or whatever the reasons are. But ultimately I think we would benefit more in the long and short term if Preuss played in his stead.

 

[muttley45]

I can remember (2015), when Goldy was averaging more than 40 hitouts/game, and had more than 1000 for the year, he also polled about 18 Brownlow votes, sadly, those days are long gone.

not much chance of that.

He broke about even in the hit outs, but I agree his ruck influence has dropped off somewhat.

We still won the clearances 42 to 33, so it wasn't a major issue today.

And that there people is why stats are misleading,He was so far from elite its not funny. tried hard in the second quarter then went back to his old soft ways.

half of his taps landed at fyfes feet,

 

[Gasometer]

Roo Ruckle.

 

[Snake_Baker]

half of hit taps landed at fyfes feet,

Fyfe monstered the entire midfield regardless of where the ball landed.

If someone could hold a tackle he wouldn't have got near 12 clearances.

Bitching about Goldy is a luxury, not a necessity.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

He did indeed...that was the good.

Today he missed...that was the bad.

Time to pick Glenn Freeborn next week on that logic

If he had kicked it, one thing is logical, you wouldnt be here.

Ok.

Times that by 40,000.

Most people have game day membership.

That's a fair % of the salary cap.

Of course we're paying the players wages.

 

[FloozyRoozy]

Goldy was pretty good in the second half, can't see how anybody can call for his head over Majak.

In years to come I'm hoping we look back on that miss as one massive positive for the club.

Majak had 3 defenders on him all day holding onto his arm. Did you notice every time they kicked it to him he could only get one arm up?

He was against a fat kid ffs! He should have owned him and stolen his play lunch. Anywho we don't need both Goldy and Preuss, I am on record as saying trade either I don't care which.

Interested in your view?

 

[tales129]

Can't wait to see him use his elite stats against the aggression of Ryder/Trengove/Dixon this week

He beat his opponent. End of story.

No chance of a trade. It won't happen and he isn't anywhere near our biggest problem.

If Preussy was fit I would like to see Goldy go back to the VFL for a week or two to regain his touch. Unfortunately Preuss has hurt himself.

Great response

If only Todd played the man a bit more like you

Ok

When Hamish McIntosh had the chance to win a game with an after the siren set shot, it would have been very close to the exact same spot of the ground at the same end of the same stadium. Hank finished his career at Strathmore. Just saying.
