Gee whizz. With a compensation pick that high we must be paying him a fair bit, no?

Very worst thing there is in football you reckon? I get it that you are salty at the team that ended your season but come on. There is bigger things to be upset about than goal songs at a venue your team only plays at once every year or two.

Why shouldn't they be involved? If you attend a game of football at a rival teams home ground, you need to expect some type of activities like this. It's part of the home ground advantage and every club does their own thing in some form.

It only happens at the Gabba for Lions home games, which they have every right of doing. I don't understand the saltiness.

Why not? Can confirm the live crowd love it. Was a pretty special moment the other week when the entire stadium was singing Country Roads.

The coaches thought he was top 5 in the league going off the AFLCA votes. But we'll go with your assessment of an "average year".

Sorry to burst your bubble but Neale had a higher disposal efficiency than the whole top 10 in the brownlow. And don't tell me "they were cheap touches" because he also had the highest contested possession ratio.

Thanks for reminding me of this thread danster168. Seems you have provided a heap of excellent reading for me to catch up on. Love your commitment mate.

I was wrong. I understand admitting being wrong is something extremely foreign to you though Dan.

Good work on going back through this thread and responding to a post from a month ago. Rayner lives rent free in your head.

Yeah he had a massive influence tonight with his ability to break out of congestion when no one else could. Dunks is gonna need to to a job next week for sure.

De Goey is hitting some serious form. Nothing Dunks can't handle though.

Agreed. I'm backing Diz in to prove a few people wrong. Very solid defender when his body is right.

Not too worried about Carlton, much rather play them than Melbourne. If we can contain Curnow then the rest of their forward line looks very meh. The midfield battle will be good but our forward line is significantly more potent than theirs.

Is this our biggest game since 2004? It's the 3rd time we have made a prelim with this group and we are looking primed now more than ever. Expectations are probably the highest they have been and it certainly feels like we belong in the GF this year.

Not sure why you keep using the 14-15 touches thing against Rayner. He had about that many on the weekend, I guess he was no good then right?

All 5 are firmly entrenched in the 22 and very important players too. Exceptional recruiting.

2001 was the year I was old enough to realise what was happening in the game of footy. That happened to be the first year of the three peat and I jumped on the bandwagon as they were the best side at the time.

Danster is one of those blokes that would argue the sky is red if you told him it's blue. There's zero chance he will ever admit that he was wrong. Makes good reading though

The entire panel is Vic (?) apart from Jakovic who is from WA. Typical.

Neale: #1 in competition for clearances #3 for contested possessions #5 coaches votes 5th favourite for Brownlow Played a big part in getting us to 2nd position on the ladder. Doesn't make the team yet Zac Merrett does. Kinda ridiculous.

Contested marks is a fair metric, and yes Weitering has got him covered by 0.3 a game. Again not a big difference there. The only noticable statistical difference between the two is the spoils but that is expected given the role difference. In cases like this where it's hard to split them...

When Andrewws peels off he's often killing the contest with a fist. Hence the one percenter discrepancy. Not sure why you're using marks as a metric when most of the marks they take are uncontested and meaningless.

"More marks" He averages 0.1 more mark per game. In your last post you had a problem with me using stats like this. Double standards.

It's funny you don't like me using small differences as wins yet you are doing the exact same. It's a two way street.

Weitering averages 0.8 more disposals, but at a lower efficiency and has less effective disposals, more turnovers and clangers. Less score involvements from his disposals too. Andrews averages more intercepts and significantly more one percenters. Not sure how you have come to your conclusion...

Go back and read every AA team ever picked and you will see that they indeed do pick 3 full forwards every year.

Want to know what else is bad football? Getting absolutely walloped in clearances 43-27 and inside 50s 61-38. You aren't gonna win games of football with those kinds of stats.

Wowee this one upset quite a few saints supporters didn't it. Excellent reading though 👍

His intercept marking is starting to come along as well. Just needs to work on his tank and he will be the complete back flanker.
