Autopsy AFL 2025 Rd 10 - Suns v Hawks - Thurs May 15th 7:30pm AEST (TIO)

Yep, it's amazing how many flogs seem to think the game started in the last quarter.

You seem to have all the answers.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

It depends what you mean by elite kick. Do you mean like Massimo, Gulden or Sicily? No he's not that type of kick.

Are we saying that Bont is not a elite kick? Or is there context to why he's numbers are not at the very top end, because Newk is ahead of Bont.

Newk ranks 6th KLS% ( Kicks Leading to Shots at Goal) amongst midfielders at 34%.

Of the 52 midfielders that average 300+ Metres Gained, their average KLS% is 25.6.

Midfielders 2025 300+ meters gained:

Meters Gained
Average: 394

So is he an elite kick?
Maybe not in style. But in terms of efficiency, scoreboard impact, and pressure context, he’s absolutely delivering at a top-tier level.

Newcombe doesn't get tagged which makes disposal easier.

Newcombe doesn't get tagged which makes disposal easier.

He got tagged by Oliver and had 7 kicks for the match with only 4 effective.

Rewatch Hawthorn games.

 

[RCAB]

Just straight up not true lol

I think he's being tagged in most games this year, hasn't he? Definitely being tagged every single one Day hasn't played.

What happened today, did you get beaten by another premiership favourite on your home ground? I'm expecting Hawks to beat you by about 7 goals next week, and you complaining about free-kicks all game.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

399 to go.

 

[Mr Meow]

398.

This is blatantly not true.

He got tagged by Oliver and had 7 kicks for the match with only 4 effective.

One of many times that he has been tagged. He had 19 @ 84% with 7 score inv, 4 clearances and 4 tackles. Quiet but not horrible.

A franchise fan calling out another franchise.

Brilliant.

Do some research on South Melbourne. It's a relocated team that was dying. Much like Fitzroy.
