Always try for overall, Unfortunately players like Jack Steven which provide great value and really help with overall score become a liability in finals when they take the place of super premos. :(
Did anyone here watch the Carlton v Suns game? Because it really showed the highs and lows of Dixon. Basically carried Gold Coast with gut running (including an amazing play when he started the chain and sprinted 100+ metres to receive the ball in the 50). Alas then what we should actually be...
Really think Ward is the most underrated mid in the game. Unfortunately a lot of people find it hard to watch GWS games with any regularity but if you do you will notice his disposal efficiency in the contest is incredible (almost always hits a target regardless of how many people are hanging...
On a side note, had a chat with Harwood and Bourke at Friday's on the weekend and Harwood was stoked to finally get on the park but seemed to get the feeling that he wasn't quite 100% yet.
however the girl I was with said he got arrested outside about an hour later :/
Should be able to grab the 4 points seeing as the Suns have somehow managed to beat us in the race for most injuries to quality players.
Does anyone feel we focussed too much in the pre-season in regards to fitness? have had no problem with how the boys have run out games, yet we are in dyer...
Not sure if the feeling that Vandenberg is an absolute gun is due to him reminding me of Josh P Kennedy or because I just love saying the name.
Great to see the Demons playing exciting football! Is Paul Roos out with the flu?
Would anyone be able to shed some light on whether the 3 game general admission membership will guarantee entry to round 1 v the Colliwobbles? or is it dependent on whether the game sells out?
Plenty of positives and negatives as to be expected but on a side note is anyone else infuriated that this is the second game against St Kilda where Leigh Fisher has been an officiating umpire? I'm sure they are trained to be impartial but surely he is influenced by being a past saints player...
First attempt for the year, not sure about Trent Mckenzie but feel he will reach the top echelon sooner or later. Have Ward and Griffen as expect similar improvement from GWS as GC last year meaning points on offer with Mumford tapping it down their throats and don't want to watch the tagger go...
Still holding some hope that his superhuman recovery kicks in like when his broken hand healed in a week. Lock him in to be 100% by Wednesday next week :)
Agreed, love Rocky as captain but really feel Jed stepped up when games were in the balance as a captain should. Everyone has already noted the tackle on Toovey (From what I can remember he also got him again later in the game) but the goal he kicked in the final quarter against Melbourne was...
That is how good his kicking was though, if he had the ball within 65 metres you would be getting ready to mark it down as a goal. Had multiple games of 3 goals playing half-back and was also very disciplined defensively. One of those players that you walked into every game thinking at least you...
I've always found this kind of question difficult due to what constitutes a good kick so attempted to make some still relatively simplified sub-genres . Apologize that there are so many but even so I am sure there are some obvious ones I have forgotten.
Reliable Kicks: These are the guys who...
The problem with Lester is his best position is as a mid and we are currently stacked in that department. True, he started as a forward and has played some solid games in the back line (Great game against Adelaide a couple of years ago when he was forced to play on Josh Jenkins and despite...
The only question anyone should ask in regards to Stefan 'Brendan Fraser' Martin is, how much should I put on for him to walk away with the Brownlow/Coleman double? I'm thinking the house
I'm a big fan of Cutler and long-term believe that he will be first choice at the half-back flank however personally feel it would be nice if we had a team next year with the majority of first choice players having completed more than two pre-seasons and having played >20 games. We can let...
Greeny's fourth quarter effort against the Weagles in 2012, 3 goals and a goal assist from four disposals. Only person at the ground more important for that win was Huddo in the commentary box (Always seems to be there for our best wins).
Hey everyone, have lurked in the shadows of BigFooty for a while now liking posts from afar and have finally decided to contribute my two cents worth, feel free to critique as you feel free/post TLDR.
