I cant think of any in the AFL who are any good. Or the VFL. And that includes Gumbleton.

Hard to be good when you've been injured for 90% of your career.

Gumby has shown signs this year in the AFL and in the 2 VFL games I've seen he has looked a level above.

Keefe from Collingwood is one, was in superb form before he did his knee, he bruised a kidney in his first VFL game back from the break, he's back now and should be in our 22 within 3-4 weeks.

Edit, sorry thought you were talking about KBs.

It's a lot easier hitting targets coming out of defense than going into attack, how many of those possessions are back/switch kicks?, a defenders DE% doesn't mean a hell of a lot.

(I can play your game too)

Doing a good job by hardly turning the ball over then if that's all he is doing

Are you saying i'm wrong?

Does it matter? I was making the point that his decision making is actually very good. He knows his limitations and keeps within the boundaries of them

It matters when you imply he's an elite kick, look at every FB in the comp, you'll struggle to find one with a DE% of under 75%

This. Eric MacKenzie has a DE of 85%, Heath Grundy's is 82, Nathan Brown 84. They are far from spectacular.

where did I imply that he was an elite kick? I implied that they were wrong in saying that he's a poor decision maker.

All's i'm saying is all KBs have a very good EF%.

Bellchambers doesn't want to leave. Essendon don't want to trade him. This is purely hypothetical on the basis he is somewhat excess to Essendon's requirements, so fans put up proposals.

The only way Bellchambers would be traded is if Essendon were offered a very good deal. Which does happen with Ruckman. hence why almost all your examples are off the mark.

IF Bellchambers isnt a regular in the ones, the offers to him will come & if he is offered a regular game, he will want out

Is he a FA? if he isn't i'm not sure there'll be a lot of interest in him, why trade for a non FA when you can get a FA for free? (not saying he isn't a bloody good player BTW, but things have changed now FA is here)

Robinson Kreuzer

Would you trade away >best 22 player< + first round draft pick for (hyperthetically) Travis Boak?

I'm highly anticipating this answer

(edit: anyone can answer this by the way)

Boak for Bellchambers. Interesting.

Boak for Bellchambers. Interesting.

Would you?

 

[Wild Bill]

Would you?

For Essendon? 100%. I think you get the better player but good rucks are hard to find. Harlett, Wines and Wingard need more help from the rucks. You may have to throw in a pick but this looks like a good trade. Next would be to find a back up like Currie. Ryder can ruck 90% of the game. Should I start the paper work?

 

[Chris Grant]

Would you?

Would Port? No, he's their captain and just signed a new deal last year.

 

[Yoda_]

Are you saying i'm wrong?

Not at all, just saying that I can look at stats the way I want to interpret them too.

Did you know Cale Hooker is a clear leader (+10) in intercept marks in the comp.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Robbie Gray for TBC? Maybe a 2nd round also to Essendon since injury prone.

Interesting

Ok let's reword this proposed trade

>insert best 22 small man< + 1st round draft pick for (hypothetically) Travis Boak

Any takers?

Heath Shaw almost broke the all time record last week lol, what does that tell you? it tells me he didn't have a direct opponent.

Your response just confirmed my last post and point.

Looking at stats the way you want.

I'm not even sure what we're arguing about bro, do you think Hooker deserves an award for gaining intercept marks? clearly that's the role he's been given, put him on Cloke for 22 weeks and you'll find he'd be no99+ for intercept marks, he's currently a 3rd tall down back who plays loose FFS.

Point is, would you rather be shoulder to shoulder against a KF, or would you prefer to be the 3rd man up? stats do lie, but only when read by imbeciles

The question has to be asked if you've seen him play at all this year. He plays on the number 2 forward every week and will spend time on Kennedy in our upcoming game because Carlisle doesn't quite have the tank yet to go with him the whole game.
