My bad, my main exposure to Whateley was through his Offsiders appearances where he came across as largely creditable. I didn't realise he's now into clickbait these days.

Hutchy gets his way.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Interesting to listen to the Age RealFooty podcast this week with the usual CollingRich panelists starting to take the Lions pretty seriously should they finish second. Never spend more than 15 seconds on the Lions usually and are quick to dismiss their chances, so it's an interesting turnaround.

on the weekend didn't get a vote (against Adelaide).

“He was the fifth highest rated player on the ground, the highest rated of mid/forward for the weekend.

“What he does with ball in hand is so damaging. He only had 18 disposals, but it's all territory, almost 450 metres gained and two goals.

“He needs to have a blinder of a six-week period for the Lions.”

The Round 22 performances that flew under the radar according to Champion Data

Here's who the coaches missed with their votes.

Watching last nights Footy Classified... they were talking about Adam Simpson probably getting the boot from the Eagles and Eddie McGuire said "the last 3 goals of the 17 in a row might have finally brought the knife ahh axe down on Adam Goodes"

I don't think that's cringe, I think well done to Eddie on mentioning Adam Goodes without any racist angle!

Unfortunately that’s par for the course on that show.

There’s a name mix up pretty much every week, and 99.99% of the time, it involves butchering a non Victorian’s name.

Last night was one of those rare occasions where a fellow panelist corrected the stuff up.

One of them also called Jack Payne Jackson Payne again.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

I don’t get the difficulty here.

I mean they’ve never called Riewoldt, Jackson Riewoldt, so why is Payne, Jackson Payne. I mean are they that stoopid.

And then there’s Suns Ainsworth and Lions Answerth continuously being called Noah Ainsworth.

I’m dyslexic; what’s there excuse?

There was a former Collingwood and Brisbane player named Jackson Paine.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I know that, but I can’t understand why they keep stuffing Paynes name. I mean they don’t call all the Saints Jacks Jackson eg Jackson Billings, Jackson Steele etc

If you get into a habit of calling a name and then someone else comes along with almost exactly the same name, it's hard to break the habit.

Names are weird. A loved one in my family has recently changed their name; it took me AGES, months, to stop calling them by their old name in an unguarded moment. It's like names are stored in a really deep part of your hindbrain, and once that data is written it's incredibly hard to overwrite it.

 

[KissKiss]

I'd get that if he was a big name player who they called often. Hence Im slightly more forgiving of "Charlie" Gardiner that Derm has stuck in his head. But its not like most of them would have called Jackson Paine

did play for Collingwood, so that's still in their subconscious.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

The only way any of those examples are truly analogous is that there were other players 10 years ago called Jackson Bylyngs or Jaxon Steel.

I don't like it, but surely it's not hard to understand why somecommentators are getting mixed up sometimes.

 

[BuntonRules]

Melbourne bench.

Josh Shache cops a lot of shit on here, but he has never given up. 3 clubs and he is still busting a gut, trying to live the dream. Respect earn't.

He also went to Hawthorn to handle their social media, so Derm might have it in his mind from there too.

A friend was officiating at a wedding who had known the groom and his late wife very well for years ... when he announced the couple after the ceremony he used the dead wife's name not the new bride's one.

Another girl I know had been in the family for 10 years and people still sometimes called her by her husband's ex-wife's name as they had been so used to the two names used in tandem.

So whats his choices? Maybe give it away or keep on keeping on given the opportunities he's given? To think we could have chosen Oliver (whose family & him was obsessive Lions supporters) instead just does my head in. Oh well, nobody has a crystal ball but most who critisise do have hindsight.

At 18 he had the Messiah expectation but not the maturity to handle it - same as Horne Francis. It was not his decision who we drafted, and your whole post is colored by hindsight. He is still having a crack, despite his introduction to life as an AFL player. Get the blinkers off, and see the people involved.

My post wasn't a critisism of Shache nor meant as one.

 

[M Malice]

We were always taking Schache in that draft, the only discussion I recall is whether the Blues could have taken him at 1 instead of Weitering... Oliver was never a serious consideration for us.

Ahhh, disagree. Oliver was definitely on the radar but not expected to go so low in the draft. He & his family were excited at the prospect of the Lions picking him up. Schache was always the chosen one having his father play for The Lions and outwardly saying he wanted to come to us and nobody knew or predicted he was going to be anything other than a star KPF.

I think we agree ML, I meant he was never in the discussion for our pick 2 selection, I do recall Oliver being a very late riser in that draft... the next pick we used in that draft was pick 14(Eric Hipwood). I can not recall how academy selection/bids matching worked back then.

I talked to Noble at one of the draft nights years ago. While he said Schache never would've been drafted if the new regime was in charge, he did say Schache wasn't a unanimous choice by the previous list management team and Oliver was the other candidate in the picture for pick 2.

Oliver & his family were all huge Lions fans. Olly had posters of Lions players strewn all over the walls of his bedroom like a star struck teenager does over a his favourite band. My understanding was that if Olly came up when it was our turn to pick after Schache but he was quickly snapped up not long after the Schache selection. Hippy was chosen by Richmond with Pick 14 and the Lions trumped the pick with the Academy pick as soon as his name was up.
