Have you even taken responsibility for anything you've ever written other than your usual arrogant, flippant responses? Calling young men "kids" feeds into the lack of accountability too many men have. Oh he's just a kid. They vote, drink and drive legally. Their choices are those of an adult. When do they stop being kids, when you decide?

Disproportionate post is disproportionate

please use full stops to add weight to your mighty words..........

n his last minute through no fault of ours.... we deserve first rights to Liam Jones or condensation in the form of early draft picks

Dunno
I have found from experience that condensation can lead to mould or sweet carnation milk rather than draft picks.

The brain stops fully maturing around the late 20s. But given people like McGuire, BT, Jobe Watson, etc that might not be true!

Out Owies in Motlop?

I reckon he’s due for a rest, if Motlop just chases and harasses for longer than Owies throughout a game any goals are a bonus, Owies is not impacting the scoreboard enough and just about invisible in the second halves recently

I like listening to his car-crash style of opinion - it will ultimately shrink his media persona to a nondescript place on a sports panel in time though

Motlop just had a week off.

Kane Cornes should retire from speaking words.

If Dr Frankenstein was looking for a brain even he’d pass at that opportunity

His job is literally to take polarised positions to generate engagement and footy fans fall for it every time.

He may be a dickhead but he's a professional dickhead.

Kane Cornes professional.





NAH!

Yep. I couldn't stand him when he first became an AFL commentator, as he was a bit of a deliberate firestarter, but he's calmed his farm and is a bit more serious with his comments so I quite like him now (Hewitt comments aside). At least he 'mans up' and admits when he gets it wrong (RE: Rosee/Walsh).

I don't mind strong opinions, so long as they are not 'blind' opinions.

Some people would call Kane Cornes a professional dickhead.

No one hits up a target into our forward 50 like Owies

That's an issue with playing Fisher higher up the ground. He is horrible at the last kick into F50.

And equal third in the AFL, behind Neale-Bullen and Breust.

Explains why he's still there, even if he's not as productive personally as some - myself included - might like.

Most teams will go sideways to a back pocket or HBF who then either finds a centering ball or continues the chain via short kick to a flanker.

1. Plowman/Newman and Docherty are below average AFL kicks as far as precise kicking goes=- which is why Boyd has been given a run.
nd these blokes are supposed to put it to the advantage of a flanker ; out flankers :
2. Lob is an unreliable mark ( to put it mildly) and Setterfield when he doses mark is very very slow to move the ball on by foot - he is a mid playing wing.
3. Charlie and Harry both dropped more relief marks than they took and TDK didn't mark anything in same role

Our by foot transitional play is crapola because of both limited skill from half teh defenders and zero ability on the flanks.

Which is why Saad (bless his soul) is so important and why Williams is so important as these blokes are doing all teh heavy lifting Saad by foot and Williams by clean up and corridor kicks.

Voss doesn't have the personnel to play the kicking rebound game when he has three ordinary kicks back there - we need Stocker in ASAP - and Voss needs to find a couple of flankers.

I also think Gov was showing some pretty sublime kicking in preseason. Will be a big in with his precise, long, low darts off either foot.

Unfortunately the stat doesn't take into account the player that hit up the guy that then kicked a point, even from 25 metres out directly in front

We have, goal assist, score involvements, score launch ( useless), but a single stat in, score assist would be ideal

I prefer score assist to goal assist. The player who delivers the ball has no control over whether the goal kicker fluffs the shot.
