No issues whatever with Matho as long as he continues to walk the walk. Love how he riles up the oppo supporters

They don't call him Beastmode for nothing.

The salt about the free-kick count is hilarious. They were all there, Tigers just played incredibly OTT, wreckless footy. Scragging, pushing, taking players high. We got to it first 28 more times. Far better team right now, should have been 10 goals.

Right on, well stated.

Are you OK?

One week on and this game still makes me smile!

I think I would of rate Mathos game higher if there were less of his kicks going astray.

Curiously I went back and looked at some stats.

Matho amassed 20 disposals, kicked 1.0 and had a 60% disposal efficiency. Compared to McCluggage, who actually leads the total number of 'best player' votes in the poll in this thread fwiw - 27 disposals, kicked 0.2, and had a 51% disposal effiency

Bailey, for those in this discussion about playing selfish - 15 disposals, kicked 4.0, 80% disposal efficiency.

Food for thought.

Disposal efficiency is one of the most useless stats in football. I think Dangerfield regularly hovers around a the 50-65% mark.

DE% is a useless stat. It has some use but very, very little relevance most of the time.

They are different though, that's why I laugh at them. They come out to push the limits physically and play on the edge. They fly into oppos back to make them 'feel it', cloths line players, block and hit of the ball, push peoples head into the ground, hold in every marketing contest.

They choose to play that way. I have no issue with it, bring it on. I just don't get how you then complain when a bunch of obvious frees are paid againts you.

Great description of Richmond's 'game plan'.

Others are starting to wake up to it.

AFL ‘can’t ignore’ dirty Tigers

He’s a nice guy, no doubt. He’ll more often than not be sure to go and check you’re OK after he’s taken you out too.

Unfortunately premiership dynasties aren’t built with % fair play.
