J.Smith(#42)

We should be looking back on a 15 year, Brownlow winning career.

Instead, all we have is XBox memes.

Anthony Stevens interview from the 20th of April. Not bad. I'd say there's nothing new in it for most of you core-hard fans, but ya never know

Anthony Stevens: Shinboner spirt - I'm Rex Hunt and You're Not

In the seventh episode of season 2 of I'm Rex Hunt & You're Not, Anthony Stevens joins Rex for a chat

That game led me to embed a clothes horse in a wall.

Just randomly thought of Dec Mountford. Really liked the way he went about it. Hasn't been picked up elsewhere so probably safe to assume he wouldn't make it but part of me wishes we kept on.

if the Pies want cardboard fans, we should have this as one:

I liked him too. There's a few like that I reckon in a parallel world with the right luck and circumstances, would've been something bigger.

Dec, Jeremy Clayton, Djaren Whyman, Cruise Garlett, Joel Perry etc etc.

******* 31
Highest for a Vic club

Never beaten means we don’t give up but we never win the close ones

his look says,

******* 31
Highest for a Vic club

Never beaten means we don’t give up but we never win the close ones

Games won by under a goal in the same period - 26. Meaning that when it comes to close ones were running at around 46%.

Myth busted.

And won 26. Better win% in those games than Collingwood, Sydney, Dogs, Melbourne, Brisbane.

Myth busted.

10 of the 31 losses were in just 2 seasons: 2013 and 2017. We also seem to have won only 1 by under a goal across those two seasons, so outside of one bizarre horror year and one where we tanked for LDU we're 25-21 since 2000.

It’s a bit of a silly exercise anyway. I suspect there better ways to define close games. Swamp is always good value nonetheless.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I note that we won our last game by under a goal as well.

I’d say winning over 60% of close games would mean we do well.
46% isn’t exactly something to be proud of
