The funny thing is for the 150 or more. Mundy has played 2 1/3 times that. Surprised he was the only one. Thought Aish has played more.Not great reading for Tiges fans here IMO

It's funny that the 1 player we had with 150 or more games has actually played 350 or more. Mundy has actually played more games than Western, Meek, Walker, Young, Watson, Treacy, Herny, Serong, Crowden, Banfield, Logue, Schultz, and Darcy combined.Not great reading for Tiges fans here IMO

Take out Mundy and the team average games drops by 16.It's funny that the 1 player we had with 150 or more games has actually played 350 or more.

I could sort of argue the first one was possibly there but that stuff happens in just about every ruck contest. The second one where it looked like Nankervis just jumped straight into him and really made no play at the ball was plain ridiculous..How "there" were those free kicks against Darcy in the bounce that lead to two Richmond goals?
First one was there second could have gone either way. Darcy’s feet were in the air and hands were up Nankervis took his legs out and the hands came down (natural instinct) across the shoulder. Could very easily been blocking on NankervisThey were both there. No malice in it, but he got Nankervis high both times.
I agree that blocking in a ruck contest is usually a raffle, 90% of the time even the rucks don't know who will get the free.First one was there second could have gone either way.

In last years derby the same thing happened. When Batting took his legs the free was over the shoulder. Very next ruck contest he went under Nattinui and the decision was blocking
it’s a raffle
And we lose tooTake out Mundy and the team average games drops by 16.
It’s baffling that Darcy is trying to tap the ball, whereas Nankervis is limiting him jumping. If there’s an expert, it’s Nankervis. Does this every game. Tries to block or negate the space to half the contest, because he can’t jump or knows he won’t win the taps. RidiculousI agree that blocking in a ruck contest is usually a raffle, 90% of the time even the rucks don't know who will get the free.
But when umpires see this they usually pay the free kick.

Liked your summary - the only thing I would amend is that Sean Darcy should be added to bullet point 1. I think he has already had more of an impact on the comp in his position than Brayshaw. I have him at No. 4 ruck minimum, which would mean Brayshaw would have to be in the top 16 midfielders in the comp. Wouldn't have him quite there yet, although last night was a major step towards him displacing someone in that cohort.I don't care what anyone thinks. The Green Meanie Jumpers are awesome. It was great to have the old song trotted out, as well as the anchor. Apart from it being very cold, it was a great night at the footy.
Random thoughts:
- Brayshaw is a superstar
- Cerra isn't far behind
- Neither is Luke Ryan
- Young, Serrong and Henry are all going to be good.
- Western and Walker have potential
- I hope Bailey Banfeild is OK (although he was walking around after the game)
- Sean Darcy is continuing to improve
- Griffin Logue is becoming solidly consistent
- Even though he's like a box of chocolates (you never know what you're going to get) - Tabs is great! - congrats on hitting the Ton.

He was walking around on the ground after the game, so he can't have been too bad. I'll be he has a headache today though.How is Bailey Banfield? That concussion looked pretty nasty.
A lot of run and carry.Colyer missed a few yesterday, but he was pretty important. His pace is a huge weapon.
Looked at home wearing the green away, Neeshams type of player back in the day.

If every aspect of our game stayed the same except that we reversed our scoring, we'd play finals easily. We're our own worst enemy.With the elephant in the room the goal kicking.
Does the team ever train at optus or always at Cockburn.
And should we be asking the ground about the possibility of training there at least once a month especially to practice goal kicking at the actual ground. In 41 games we have kicked 414.440.
This year alone we have kicked 91.122.
We haven't learnt how to kick straight at our home ground. Like surely the more practice we get there the better we should get. Its alright practicing at Cockburn but if you dont have the familiarity of the stands and even getting used to wind conditions inside the stadium.
Should be number 1 priority in the off season getting numerous sessions there practicing goal kicking with the squad
they at least used to train at optus fairly regularly based on social media photos, don't think they've done it much this year though... could have changed after JL took overWith the elephant in the room the goal kicking.
