JLOs strength is bringing the best out of players. We should give him every chance to succeed. What I loved about his goals were that they weren't cheap or easy but he had some incredible crumbling goals on the run. I hope that his confidence is sky high so that he can bring out the party tricks against the Hawks.
He fired out a lightning handball in the last quarter on the counter attack that I’ve never seen before. He knew where the player was out on the wing before he had the ball and soon as he received the ball he pumped out to the wing and the player (can’t remember who - might have been Colyer) didn’t have to break stride. Was a thing of beauty.He was literally singled out in the AFL Website's '6 Things We Learned' article yesterday arvo.

Ripper goalSince Bailey is the headline act of this thread.
My highlight was his extraordinary 4th goal that was none other than the extremely difficult ‘Chanana’ kick, deliberately performed no doubt to shut down all his doubters on his skill level.
Unfortunately the below footage only shows it from side on, but I’ve seen footage from behind & it is definitely a high class, high difficulty ’Chanana’
Take a bow Bailey.

Serongs hands are elite but I would say Brodie is not far behind
A Chanana is a snap (or banana like action) that moves both ways in the air. For example Baileys kick began turning to the right off the boot & about 3/4’s through its flight straightened & then began to turn left, straight through the big sticks.
If there's anyone that should despise the toast, it's Cousins' old man.
Ibbo is his son in law.
Haha looking at this I'd say you've drafted quite a few of these in your time only to hit the delete button to run with a more conservative assessment that ensures your workplace continuity
Weird thing to knock him on. He played almost his entire career in a low possession era. 17.5 touches a game put you in the top 75 players in the comp for average possession pretty much his entire span. 2006 was the first year you need to average 19 or better to crack the top 100 possession getters.
In the post match interview, Darcy Cameron, after Collingwood winning, said that the players weren’t fussed with winning the ball, just wanted to win territory and get it forward as quick as possible. Chaos ball in a way. Worked so effectively because in the wet, skill goes out the window. Fremantle overused the ball so much that it hardly resulted in metres gained. Something that the players should be looking at
Don’t undersell yourself. Know your role, play your role.
I'd call it a snap personally... IMO it's a strict definition haha, outside of the foot curling away = banana, inside of the foot curling in = snap.
Need to learn to win in the rain but yes the lid is off!
He is welcome.
cheaper to drive (and a great drive it is too)
