Football Related Random Thread - PART 2

I had been critical of Adams in the past but I really liked his 21 season and hoping he can get more consistency with his body, because he is beast down back. Reminds me of big Mal Michael in some ways.

All things considered he had a fantastic year. I think his intercept marking took a fair bit of pressure of Harris. He was also quick, physical and shut down the big forwards in a manner that Harris and Dizzy cannot. It was a bit disappointing he had another setback after getting some consistency but I guess he'll just be one of those players you can only ever excpect 12-15 games a season. Also Mofra owes him an apology for saying he took out Weightman when replays clearly show Weightman just ran into into him, which is basically the same as running into a brick wall.

Hopefully we get another good season out of Adams as he is a good fit to our defense
His 17 games last year was his career best game wise. Prior to that it was 11 in his debut year for the Dogs in 2016
After a 53 week break between AFL games he came back in round 3 and played every game up to and including round 17. So, 14 games straight
Back for round 23 and the 2 finals.
I think most of us did not believe he was going to make it back for the finals

Probably could have been back sooner too.

Has Marcus had a recurring injury with his foot or a combination of random injuries over his journey?

So good to see Luke Hodge as part of the golfing group.

Bez is around 193cm tall.
Not sure Hodgey has ever been up there.

A quick search and it looks like all foot related injuries since his debut year in 2016
Not sure if it was the same foot though

 

[Lazza16]

Not many KPPs on that list across the comp. Andrews may not have had his greatest year but clearly he worked hard.

I get tired watching Harris run up to the forward line to pat someone on the back for kicking a goal then running back before the bounce ....phewwww

I don’t mind because it means they are kicking goals.

Brisbane is also hoping to avoid a trip to Ballarat – where it has played the Western Bulldogs two of the past three seasons – in a play to get more matches in Melbourne in front of its Fitzroy fans.

Fixture requests: Power play for Anzac Day, will it be a Good Friday for North?

Clubs are getting in their fixture requests for the 2022 season

It would be interesting to know how the boys went, you'd expect that Harry Sharp with his elite endurance background would have performed pretty well. >

https://www.redbull.com/au-en/events/trail-heads/

Red Bull Trail Heads will be held at NV Gravity Bike Park in Gold Coast, Queensland.
The concept is simple: complete a marked 6.5km course through crafted single-track MTB trails racing over a number of “timed segments” in time-trial style.
The inaugural Red Bull Trail Heads involves 5 timed stages – named to match the characteristics of the individual “timed segment’s” terrain.

The timed segments of the race are a variety of up-hill, down-hill, technical and free flowing segments varying in steepness, length, and difficulty including a special segment “KOM” with a unique prize.
Between each segment, there will be untimed “transfer segments” that are designed for catching your breath, grabbing a drink, regrouping with mates and moving across to the next ‘timed segment’ to start all over again.

Yes and yes, looks like he has been in the Gym.

Just watching the 2003 GF as it's on fox atm. I remember hearing Jono Brown saying he has absolutely no memory of the game after being ko'd by Burns

Went to Ballarat this season....horrible game...horrible weather....some good pubs tho...and every drunk teenager in Ballarat heading to Melbourne on the train for SATURDAY NIGHT. Once was enough.

 

[knaf]

Ballarat has a great art gallery! Ideal place on a winter’s afternoon.

So sad to hear of Arthur Wilson's passing.

An absolute gentleman , never heard a bad word about him from anybody. Irreplaceable.

He fought so hard to keep Fitzroy alive and was instrumental in bringing on board support for the Brisbane lions.

RIP.

Easy enough:



As a note, trail running is very different to road running. Tactics for hills are very different in trail running. Looks like Harry went out hard and then was stuffed.

Good on Jaxon too. A very good sign for the season ahead.

Also we have to remember that Harry just recovered from a broken ankle as well for the past 4-5 months and could have been his first competitive real run from that injury, so that might have to also be factored in as well as the different running conditions/etc for why Sharpy didn't come first out of the boys and ran out of steam at the end but still, great job to all the boys at the club who completed the challenge and finishing in the top 100 or thereabouts.

This kid was great value.
