You wouldn't see BLK on an EPL shirt because only Kooga Australia, which manufactured under license from the "real" Kooga, has been rebranded as BLK.

Just read a stat that Lobbe lead the league in clangers per disposal.

Impey was 4th.

I'd say that's a stat that is lead by ruckmen due to Frees Against counting towards Clangers. Ruckmen don't generate a lot of disposals, but do get a lot of confusing ruck infringement type frees.

With Lobbe's 2nd efforts and high tackle count, it's easy to see why he's leading that stat.

Impey, same, frees against and his loopy kicks.

Very interesting though.

Where did you read it? I'd be interested to know what the composition of the list is.

Because Andy McLeod played for Adelaide, not Freo.

Adelaide Oval + costs for ch7 + Ross Lyon.

Peter Sumich has withdrawn from the race for the Dogs' coaching job reportedly due to family reasons.

Luke Beveridge is now favourite with Brett Montgomery tipped to be his senior assistant.

“As a brand, BLK has been looking to build a South Australian presence for some time by partnering with a Club that not only represented the City of Adelaide, but an organisation that is embraced and supported by the majority of South Australia’s passionate AFL supporters and we certainly have that in the Adelaide Football Club,” Brant said.

Brnt pls!

 

[finbarr]

Geez, they've even got their guernsey sponsor reading from prepared statements now.

 

[finbarr]

Edited from the original statement -

"Due to the putrid combination of 3 primary colours associated with the Adelaide Football Club BLK apologises in advance for the crappy range of official club merchandise we're about to unveil. Truth is, Donatella Versace couldn't do anything decent with these colours".

Cringe.

Ta. faquito has it nailed by the looks. Ruckmen give away more frees because of 'x-file' ruck infringements, Lobbe (who tackles almost 3 times as much as the majority of other ruckmen) gives away even more frees.

Also interesting that 7 of the top 10 guys were over 193cms. Are big guys clumsier? Or do they often tackle smaller players too high? Or are they trying to tack Selwood to often???

Would West Coast pull that petty shit?

And they put that little dose of HYPE in near the end just for good measure.

Dodged a bullet WB.

The AFL website has a video of the season's 10 most stirring wins. 3 of the top 10 involve Port losses and none are a Port win. I would have thought the Freo final win would have made the top 10. I am disappoint.

Just a sign that we're now the hunted. I'm fine with it.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We barely featured in their 21 games not to miss. The first Showdown (Walsh), Melbourne in Alice Springs (scenery) and the Essendon game (Ryder).

Never mind Hawthorn on ANZAC Day or any game against Sydney or Freo ... but Melbourne because the backdrop is stunning.

Just read on the cows board that they are now comparing Impey with Clangerfield, Impey must be coming up in their calculations
