Also interesting to note that the five teams listed there were respectively premiers, prelim finalist, premiers, premiers, prelim finalist
Three teams in history have scored 20+ goals for five successive weeks:
- South Melbourne in 1934 (Rounds 11-15 - Bob Pratt kicked 9, 8, 11, 11, and 12 goals in those games)
- Geelong in 1989 (Rounds 6-10)
- Geelong in 1992 (they did it 6 weeks in a row, Rounds 3-9 including a bye)

Miers is a damn good player for pick 57 in the 2017 draft.

God i hope Scott is ignoring him in the coaches votes so he is hidden from other teams whilst still polling well in the BNF

Might as well share it here also
What an impressive player Zach is turning into
He's come a long way from the 19 yr old who got slammed following this mis-match - I still remember being at that game & how a few of his senior teammates seemed to escape some flack when they were the ones playing off their opponents, leaving the youngster to try & cover them

Augers/all goes/or goes well
Watched the first half replay so far- what a good team we are. Was great to see an open, flowing game from both teams- pleasure to watch. Everyone was just running everywhere, all the time!
Pleased by the hard work from everyone, and how well they are working together, helping each other, chasing everything down.
Apart from the obvious standouts, Ollie Henry is smart, and has great, fast hands. Blix having a very good year. All the young guys have really stepped up. Playing with confidence and purpose. Love watching this team.

That is the particular play I had in mind when I posted above. When I saw that i thought "wow". He is becoming more and more like his mentor TS.

With good reason. The commentary glossed over it.

One of them did let out a startled "ooh", but that was it.
saw it - was when the bummers were trying to get hard

Clearly we should conclude from this and Swamp’s stat that the sweet spot is between 120 points and 20 goals. Any more and you won’t win the flag.

Bizarrely, all three teams above finished as runners up too.

For our first two finals last year I sat behind the goals, so had a good look at things straight down the ground
I remember against Collingwood, late in the match (can't quite remember if it was before or after Holmes' goal) and the ball had gone out of bounds outside of Collingwood's forward 50
It was Zach who was directing traffic, making sure matchups were as needed and the right guys dropping into the holes - he may have racked up 50 career games, but there was still fans who looked at him as being on the fringes, but in that passage he looked the general down back & a future leader of this club
I don't know if he'll necessarily be one that does get a formal leadership role at the club, but I can really see him as the heir apparent to Stewart as our general in defence - and being 5-years younger than TS, he could well be the right person at the right age to step into that role

I think a hugely underrated part of the 22 premiership was the way we were able to cover the loss of Stewart after the richmond game. We weren't able to do it the previous year and we fell apart. Guys like Kolo and Henry you expect to be solid, but I think Zuth stepping up in those matches was big. He didn't replace Stewart or anything, but he was suddenly dependable enough that whole system just kept on truckin'
Just watched the 1st half again myself -agree entirely with what you just said
I thought it was a pretty good standard game - both sides
Something drastic has happened with Miers - totally different player - and about 5000% better - and i wonder how he has improved so much - but that 1st half he played - youd swear it was a completely different player
With players to come back in - Geel keep playing like that - then they are going to be awfully hard to beat
