4th lowest time on the ground at 61%

He had a great game

Love this. Keep him in there for the whole year. Fyfe is depth when injuries come. Young can spend the end of the year when he returns at half back, slicing the corridor kick, which will set up so many scores. Imagine the ball coming out of the back half in the hands of one of Young, Simpson, Clark, or Ryan. That's some slingshot potential. Dare I say it, this is coming together at a rate of knots. Send Chapman to a wing and NOD to the other wing. Someone like Sonny or JOM as the sub.

Happy to throw Darcy on the trade table as I enjoy the Jacko/Voss combo. Voss could literally be anything if we just keep playing him. Throw a lifeline to Eastland from Claremont for some ruck backup on minimum wage. At least he can kick a footy.

These types of wins are the ones that can kickstart a season.

Quoting from the "spin off" series is a whole new level of geek. Well done my man.

interesting show though.

Sharpe may not be getting much of the ball but he did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

Speaking of Sam Witwer, and sorry guys I know this ain't the Star Wars appreciation page, but I was always disappointed they never made Starkiller canon and give him his own spin off. I always thought if you plonked him in the Book of Boba Fett, it could have added a bit of much needed bad arsery to the series.

Those force unleashed games were right up there with the Batman Arkham games for story and universe building.

i think he'll get some part one day. i think he actually rather talented. as i said. any time maul was on screen he was magnetic. the emotions you could hear through his voice. rather hard stuff to do.

I think the star killer stuff would be hard to adapt.

personally i think they should start up a new section of the timeline. 30 000 years of history to mine.
there is the ancient sith vs rakarta.
sith vs jedi (mark 1,2,3,4 ,5 etc...)
mandalorian wars.

or even very early republic space exploration days.

Jacksons growth this year... chefs kiss! Becoming a dominant player and is a momentum changing player. Looking forward to a few more crushing tackles in the midfield.

A few big contested marks at important times, especially in the third were a great sign for the year to come. If we can get a few of those a game, his game and ours goes to another level.

I'm happy for those games to be part of Legends canon. Luke Skywalker would dislocate his shoulder just calling his own lightsabre bbut Starkiller coughs and blows up a hallway of stormtroopers

The famous Silent Alarm? Before my time, but legendary around here as being the most negative supporter in the history of the FFC. That would explain a lot.

WTF is a "negative supporter"?
Genuine question...

 

[poshman]

I am optimistic about the future of the Chappy - Jordy - Simpson partnership over the coming years. All move well and have great skills. Some nice flexibility there as well.

Also known as a Doomer. The sky is always falling, we are hopeless, the club can't do anything right. There is a fair few around here at the moment and unfortunately we are slowly losing more to the dark side every day.

The competitions most accurate goalkicker is just ONE WEEK away from getting back to playing football again.

Ooh yeah

 

[sumavich]

This is shit hot!

I would love this as a jumper we play in at least a couple of times a year. Close to what we have and a nod to the founding of the club. Looks fantastic as well.

Would love to see Sturty get a good run at it after the bye.

Champion Data has Bolton as the most impactful mid who qualifies by minutes played. And Jackson as the best ruck in the game. He also says we are now the best ball movement team from HBF to scores. Which a large number of premiers have been in the last 7-8 years.

Listen to the Crisis Creates Opportunity segment and the Guess Who Segment.

Real interesting but only really ads to the "JL is a secret genius whi knows something we all dont" speculation. Just gotta wait and see

haha we definitely need to wait and see.

I think our talent level bails him out. Still keen for another coach.

Yep, could forgive a competitive loss to Gold Coast but he really needs four out of the next five to make supports believe again. We need some experience back in the team as well or at the very least available for selection.

Those stats explain why we seem to win centre clearances at a much higher rate when we have both Jackson and Bolton in their compared to any combo with one of them missing. Im pretty sure the quartet of Jackson/Brayshaw/Serong/Bolton would have won around 75% of clearances they've attended but with even won missing we'd be under 50%. At least it seems that way.

I think the use of Bolton was a massive positive in the GWS game as the coaches seemed to have created a role for him that maximises his impact. I didnt realise watching the game live that actually Bolton played 3 positions in the game. One of the roles involved him starting in the centre square but playing as a high half forward in open play. When he played that role one of Erasmus or Brayshaw started at high forward and then went onball in general play. The other two roles involved him playing as a pure forward or a pure mid.
