Gordon Tallis is an absolute legend!

Gordon Tallis is an absolute legend!

Gonna be honest, never liked him. Stopped following the Broncos after he was made captain and made it permanent after Murdoch bought the franchise.

And this is from someone who used to insist on giving my grade 3 classmates an update on the ARL results of the weekend

Too many head knocks.

Tallis is a w***er. Served him once when I worked hospo and he was unfriendly to say the least. Doesn't take a lot to be respectful to waiters, and you could tell he just felt superior.

Did you used to work at City Rowers?

Agree 100% about Tallis, and a few others from that era.

Nope, used to work in restaurants on the Gold Coast throughout high school and when studying. Had to leave as BRAB threatened to stab me

I wont mention the name but >

I know one of the accountants who worked long term for a very well known Qld Billionaire at the time and multiple Broncos players/the club in that 90s era rorted the salary cap... literally taking bags full of cash under the table.

At least Geelong can beat us in the PF this year.

Ha! I was only just referencing this game here the other day

Watched some of that games and was able to use Andrew Bews in today's FootyGrid.

I've just started getting into that! Great fun. I got 20.15 today, might be a record for me. Obscure Bears players FTW

Heard some interesting stats today.

On 32 Key Stats that are kept in todays game, they worked out the teams that are most likely to push at the end of the year off these key areas.

Out of the 32 stats they gave a green mark if the team is in the top 6 for that stat, red if in the bottom 6 and white in the middle six.

I have listed the top 5 teams because they rate the best in these stats anyway:

Collingwood - 15 green - 4 red - 13 white

Brisbane - 23 green - 1 red - 8 white

Port - 15 green - 7 red - 10 white

Melbourne - 24 green - 2 red - 6 white

Carlton - 14 green - 7 red - 11 white

So on theses numbers, it is a Brisbane Melbourne Grand Final.

As long as we get the job done and finish 2nd that is my pre finals tip as well.

We and the Demons are building up a pretty heated rivalry, a Grand Final encounter would top it off nicely.

Do you remember what our 1 red stat was Dalions?

Yes, believe it or not.
Pressure!
Which was a little surprising considering we are one of the better turnover teams.

Really wish they would stop putting 'club captain' as one of the options - makes it hard to get a 0.01% answer.

we've always seemed to record a low 'pressure' rating through whatever metric champion data uses to measure it but it seems we force a lot of turnovers and are quite frantic to harass the ball carriers when the opposition has it to my eyes

not too sure how it is measured but i feel our pressure game is better than the statisticians see it

I don't think we are a big tackling side however we still create the turnovers.

 

[rye]

I don't think we are a big tackling side however we still create the turnovers.

this is a good point. we are ranked 17th for tackle differential this year, being -5.6 tackles per game on our opponent on average this year

BUT we are 1st for pressure act differential (+21.4) and 1st for one percenter differential (+6.1)

i feel like thats where our turnover game is really built upon

Pressure ratings are measured by how much pressure is put on the oppositon as they attempt to dispose of the ball.We tend to force turnovers by employing a forward defensive press and intercepting before the ball gets to the intended target. We still do our share of tackles and smothers, but not as much as a heavy congested team such as Sydney does, who record very high pressure ratings.

The story on lions.com re where are they now for our 2003 flag side I thought a couple of the jobs the boys are doing are very image befitting.

Robert Copeland, living at Redcliffe with two boys, works for a local builder.

Martin Pike lives in Melbourne and is father to one boy and one girl. He has worked for 10 years with the CFMEU.
