Yep as i said i was harsh on him this game.But Jones wasn’t in the midfield this time. Compare him to Stengle and McAdam.

These are folk that have supported the club financially in a pandemic (while many got refunds)
He looked dangerous up forward. His pressure was good also. He will come good.So 6 touches is still good?
Fog will be fine. Like Hawkins he took a while to dominate AFL football. Both boys had a lot of baby fat.I have a bigger concern for FOG and I’m a fan
Needs a big preseason , come back stronger and fitter, could be anythingWouldn't surprise me in a few years when the "experts" re do last year's draft that Schoenberg winds up in the top 10. Love the way he bursts from a pack.
Pyke was a massive problem, he seemed obsessed with playing senior players - when it's pretty clear bringing in young players can positively impact results.
I do with some nice seafoodWho the bloody hell would drink Riesling? . Self indulgence? These are folk that have supported the club financially in a pandemic (while many got refunds) turned up to every game despite the fact they were winless. That’s not self indulgent. That’s supporting. Be nice for the lads just to Give a nod and quick clap to acknowledge that level of support.
That's the upgrade !Atkins - header over the ball. Syntax error.
You've done a lot of guessing here, and have taken a simplistic view ......the way Champion Data measure performances is in no way a secret .....if you follow SuperCoach or Fantasy AFL , you would know how players are measuredFirstly I have nothing to do with Champion Data, and they keep their algorithm a secret.
Secondly are you really telling me Matt Crouch does not have a habit of racking up a lot of disposals and doing nothing with them? Matt is certainly capable of those games, as damage from his disposals tends to be the first thing that goes of the moment he drops off slightly.
Thirdly I don't care if Matt racks up coaches votes when he is in form in regards to this. That is completely irrelevant seeing we're talking about just today. Today saw a player who usually ends up in the top portion of the CD ratings when we play come near the bottom, despite on the surface (i.e. disposals) it looks rather unjustified. That either means the CD algorithm was skewed to certain aspects which Matt didn't do, or Matt really had a game that the second you got past the shallow metric that is disposals, it really wasn't that crash hot. I do suspect the former, not the latter, but I could certainly accept an argument for the latter. There are definitely a few red flags in that stat line (namely, how little of Matts disposals were contested, and how little meters gained he racked up for the amount of disposals he had, seeing he was averaging 7.8 m per disposal) and I'd assume any algorithm would be designed to punish players who seem to be playing like a seagull.
Remember when people here didn’t want us to win at all? GWS are irrelevant, but how bloody good is beating Carlton and Hawthorn?
fixedWhat about pick 2* AFL...??

Anyway, in terms of your assessment, SuperCoach is the closest measurement tool, which favors contested ball, disposal efficiency and game impact .......simply disposals is not a measurement at all, sorry mate
If you want to discuss today, you do know Curnow was on M.Crouch a proportion of the day, starting originally on Laird
Why is this noteworthy .....well you're right historically teams haven't tagged Crouch or Tom Mitchell ...their disposals have minimal hurt factor
He is not, or never will be a strong mtrs gained player ......his ratio of contested ball to uncontested hasn't changed much, although he was down today
What has changed is his pressure on the player with the ball ....tackling numbers are up, but to say he has changed his game off 4 games is too small a snapshot ...but there's enough evidence there he is not crabbing and is attempting to handball & kick forward more .....he's still a work in progress, and he still regress's in periods of games back to those dinky handballs .....but you can see he's trying to change his game, and he'll be more dangerous as a result

Apologies, I need to correct you again, the FA compensation is classified as band one and not an associated pick So I made a mistake, it should be "What about band 1 AFL".fixed
Interestingly, in the pre game warm up today both Fog and Himmelberg we’re practicing drills where the ball comes in for a marking contest and they brought it to ground for the small crumbing player. so they weren’t trying to mark it, but bring the smalls into the game.Fog needs to have a big pre season and get leaner. Next year has to be his breakout year.
No you don't as I didn't say anything about that.Apologies, I need to correct you again, the FA compensation is classified as band one and not an associated pick
Sorry, I should have "What about band 1 FA compensation AFL".No you don't as I didn't say anything about that.
But everything is an asterisk this year.
