How hard is this? Everyone makes this far tougher than it is. Wanting players who clearly aren’t up to it just because you think they are ‘openers’ It’s so damn easy to move Head to the top and bring in your next best bat. Not restrict yourselves to ‘openers’ who are not up to it.

No I don’t lol. People keep saying he is an in form #5. He isn’t, he is in good form in the shorter format opening. I want him to open. Here is his test match form in the past 12 months…. Pakistan (home) 40,14,17,0,10 WI (home) 119,0,0 NZ (away) 1,29,21,18 As you can see, 1 ton, a 40...

Did you even read the post? I said he got a ton before that. So I included it in his average as it was 7 innings ago. Last 7 innings he averages 26 if you want to include his ton. I have to go back another 2 years to find his other ton. He was in good form a few years ago. The last time he...

Oh wow I totally forgot about the NZ series. I didn’t use his numbers for that series for the 32 average from his past 29 innings. His last hit in Australia was a pair but ok I’m sorry I forgot to include his scores of 1,29,21 & 18 in NZ. All formats he has multiple centuries and lots above 50...

Ignore Walsh, this poster came on to our board to try discuss things normally. When other posters called Walsh out, Walsh just admitted he likes to troll Pies and Cats fans and not to take him seriously. 🤦‍♂️ He is a troll by his own admission. Do not engage. Also Sam Walsh has Geelong...

I understand all this except point number 2. 1 century in 30 or more innings and coming off a pair is not in form. I’m starting to think Trav is overrated. He isn’t in form so why do people blindly say he is?

I get all that but you want your best players in the team. So you need to move a player to accomodate the next best option. I’m confident we can give up Head’s 32 average at 5. I’m sure he can adapt to open and average similar which would still be better than Harris/Konstas/Bancroft.

I’ve kept suggesting Head should be the opener. He has never struck me as a great #5 anyway and we need an opener which he does in the short form. I don’t know why it gets dismissed so I’ve done my own research. Went back 29 innings. Head has opened 5 of them and against India averaging over...

Head should open, I have no idea why he can’t. The role suits him and who cares if he doesn’t like the idea? Make him do it, it’s not like he is a great #5. You can play Inglis at 6. Doesn’t seem all that difficult to me.

I hate how they lock in games for certain rounds. Especially the round 1 games. We are meant to look forward to seeing the opening games, a bit like a surprise on who you play. The Blues v Tigers should never have been a thing and once again looks a terrible match up. Why has hawks v bombers...

On the Stengle thing, what did actually happen? I’ll accept PMs also from those in the know :) Thanks

I hate it, even though I know a trade generally means little in the overall scheme of things, I waste too much time reading and listening to things I know is pointless. Drives me insane. I wish I could somehow ignore everything and just look at the trades at the end. Do I really give a stuff...

Yeah 80,000 type crowds are good. I’m aware 54,000 isn’t. Essendon isn’t a big side anymore. My point stands, a better balance with GMHBA/MCG is better for the main goal - a premiership. Do you disagree with that?

We should get 11. But do we want that? Saints are happy to move a game or 2 to the G and away from marvel as should all those clubs. We make plenty of money from playing the big teams at the MCG aswell. What we lose out on is big game/crowd experience which is crucial for what we actually want…...

Damn I don’t want more games in Geelong. Membership cost goes up with seat and afl membership is less valuable. Playing a good mix of mcg/GMHBA is far far better as we don’t get home finals. Really shooting ourselves in the foot here. We should be allowed more games but why would we want them...

Absolutely no discussion on Oliver anymore? Reported hours ago from the trade whisperer, the trade is off and Oliver will commit. Unless that’s a bad source not sure but where has the Oliver chat gone?

That’s your answer. Journos don’t want to harp on it. They will look stupid as they all thought he was going to the Suns until Cotchin laughed and said it won’t happen.

This. I do like the melting but those 3 clubs in particular seem to have the worst fans. Hawthorn fans only support for the Glory, they are nowhere to be seen when down the bottom. Carlton are hard to respect with the cheating past, getting players from being rubbish and still can’t win with...

Ch 10 running with Oliver still wants to be a cat. This just won’t die off.

Glory Hunters - the worst type of fan.

100% It’s absolutely hilarious listening to the drivel. No salary cap they say yet they also don’t rate our players. It’s so weird, who do they actually think we are paying?

I’ve been to two of these before. It wasn’t set out like this. Dessert after 10pm….. 9.50pm and just starting round 6? Odd

Has to be this. This thread surely belongs in the bay. Obviously people haven’t been to all the grounds because if they had they would know it’s either giants stadium or the Gabba.

100% this. If we are so worried about eyeballs than why not have it on a Sunday night and move the public holiday in vic to the Monday like the NRL do? No one really wants a Sunday night GF despite how it would rate better. Why aren’t normal h&a games on a Sunday night as it rates well? Have...

Yep, sick of seeing players not celebrate or look disappointed because they didn’t play. If you’re genuinely about the team you are like McInerney.

Don’t need to compare Ashcroft to anyone but I’ve taken an interest since he came back from the ACL. He is scary good, heavy duty and just so damn smart. If Levi is better than I’m worried for every other side as to how good Brisbane will be for the next 15 years.

These are the points which now make me believe they should hand out medals to anyone who played a game during the year. Or for the whole squad, doesn’t matter. It’s up to each individual as to how you value them. Just do it AFL.

Yeah I hate the Eagles and back in those days I seem to remember we had a bit of support. Maybe that’s because we had not won anything for so long. Now we have been consistently good everyone hates us. Much better the way it is now. I never want that feeling of ‘92 or ‘94 again where everyone...

I’m still annoyed we lost, huge opportunity gone begging. Without Geelong in it the only better match up is GC vs Freo. Lions v Swans is ok but don’t know who I prefer.

I like to think we saved ourselves the torture of losing the GF. No Holmes would’ve made things very hard. I’m still trying to work out how we were so competitive in a highly rated game with so many players playing horribly.
