Herald Sun again talking about how Carlton should give up pick 1 for Shiel, ignoring the fact he gets to us for free next year.

True, but if he is squeezed out the door, the last thing we would want to see is him wearing that hideous red seatbelt. I'd be willing to take the risk if he doesn't stay with the giants.
 
Can't believe this is even a story. Jumper's not great, but seriously, Hawthorn wore pink and brown and not a peep!!!

Their jumper was already putrid, and they managed to make it worse.

There are five jumpers that are worse than ours, but only ours gets a story.
If we wore navy shorts and socks with the grey jumper, it would look ok.
 
3rd in the league what the flippin flush

that can't be true, thats impossible
If you confine it to centre clearances, absolutely. We're just genuinely terrible at retaining the ball from throwins or ball ups around the ground.

It makes sense, if you think about it. In the centre clearances, opposition sides cannot surround Cripps with three/four people to stop him getting the ball, and can congest the shit out of a stoppage situation to take full advantage of their size against our kids.

We won both the clearances and stoppages on the weekend, + 6 in both

As you mentioned, retention and turnovers kill us, but I also understand the progression of the gameplan
 
there’s another positive to come out of being the third best centre clearance team. We will get more opportunities for centre clearances when we score more. It’ll be an exponential growth opportunity.

More goals = more centre clearance opportunities = more centre clearances = more goals = ..... etc.

Certainly an interesting projection you considering. Not without merit but still lot of work to get there. But sides that can get a run on clean centre clearances, will benefit a bit when the centre bounce format after goals does not allow a team to put spare men in 50 metre arc. Will be interesting if they make the wingers start from side of square like they would have in the two recent match trials.
