Anyone else catch Glen Luff on sen talking about Boomer? Some amazing stats there. If you can get a hold of the audio have a listen.

Said the stats show that boomer is the best kick on the comp by a whopping 10%.
I can't remember exactly how it works but they don't look at kicking eff. Because of all the dinky sideways kicks it's not a true showing of ability.

Also boomer is the best by a mile when near goal, with 44% of his kicks ending up with a score or a mark inside 50.

Absolute underrated gun.

Hawthorn is having a bring a friend for free day against Saints, this was something some of us here suggest years ago against low drawing interstate teams. Is it a bit insulting to the Saints that they are letting freebies in against them?
The Lions are doing this at our home game in melbourne.....

That is odd, would cost the lions money if they allow people in for our home game.
Yeah my mate wanted to fly over for the game said I could get in on his free ticket (even though I have a North membership anyway).

Seemed really weird to me, and if it's legit they better be paying for those tickets toward our gate takings.

I missed it but do know that Luffy's a North supporter so he would've been reading out those stats with pride.

On AFL exchange Drew nominated an unnamed Richmond player who didn't rate us and told Boomer he attributed us beating them to "the ball bouncing your way".

Drew owes it to the world to out this player.
Is this last season? When it bounced our way about 64 times?
