Open Mike

I don't want to hear Stewart Loewe talk about Tony Lockett, I want to hear Tony Lockett talk about Tony Lockett!

 

[Kram]

reckon it will be interesting just to hear his thoughts on the blight "era" alone.

Kosi saying he was hardly there and now Loewe with the comment that he was only there for 2 hours a day 3 times a week during the preseason

And they paid him $1mil a season or something didn't they??

Thought he was good Loewe. Would have liked to have heard a bit more about the end of Alves as I still reckon he was shafted.

Mike got his stats wrong, Loewe is not #1 for career marks

Surprised to see Brad Johnson at #5.

Not, however, surprised to see Scott West at #1 for handballs!

Think it was for his team that mike was talking about.

i really enjoyed the interview. no cliches or worrying about offending mates that recently retired players do.

That website is trash.

Has KB playing 3 different games totals.

whats the full story on his relative in the hospital?

i'm guessing drugs or suicide attempt. Either way i reckon it put him off that day.

same with Gary snr, don't reckon we'll ever get them on the show.

i think we will never know. so sad

It depends on what the stat is. If the stat only started being recorded part the way through his career then that specific games total for that stat will start at that point and not include games that were played by Bartlett before that specific stat started.

If it's a genuine error then it can be raised in the stats part of the forum.

No surprises at Gary Dempsey. Maybe the most marks for a forward then

I'm fairly sure his daughter was very sick.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Maybe we should post some other player videos in this thread when they get on Open Mike.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Loewe was alright, better than I expected. Gee his fingers looked pretty ****ed!

Who's on next week?

You post is trash. Paul works very hard on his site.

And I quote "more marks than any player in the history of the AFL". I doubt he's referring to AFL to the exclusion of the VFL. What I'm sure happened is that when the research was done for the show, Loewe was #1 on the list. Paul and his helpers have been adding stats to AFL Tables in reverse chronological order, so Loewe (1986-2002) is ahead of Dempsey (1972-1984). As soon as you add 1971 though, Dempsey takes the lead.

Sister. Suicide.

I think they usually promo the next guest on the Saturday beforehand.

If you are watching Fox Footy this weekend you'll probably catch it.

They usually say on it on AFL360 during the week, it comes up on that text banner they have on the bottom of the screen.

 

[Bell Ringer]

You post is trash. You clearly lack the intelligence to even begin to understand why KB has 3 different games tallies.

So they didn't count his disposals in 1 of his games, his behinds in 5 of his games, but his goals in all of his games.

And the website doesn't make a note of this on the page.

Not quite his "Career Totals and Averages" then is it?

 

[red+black]

It might surprise you that the site doesn't have all of the stats from 1897.

In fact it doesn't have many stats pre-1965 (yet).

i rewatched the episode last night. when i heard bolded bit i immediately thought about this thread

 

[Nostradumbass]

Watched the repeat with Loewe last night. I thought it was a decent episode. Never knew about the relative being in hospital story. Agree with what another poster said, he should have probed him more about Alves.
