Stats are great. I love stats.
Opinions are great. I love opinions.
BF is great. I love BF.
Bevo is a great coach as he took us to the pinnacle. Bevo is no longer a great coach as we've tanked in 2017, and almost tanked again this year after being 3 goals up in the third quarter of a...
Other teams have also adopted it sparingly from time to time, and only in specific scenarios similar to the one Mutt has alluded to by the Pies.
Others also try to back off by covering an opponent in the vicinity, we have defenders guarding open space, but still allowing opponents to get free...
Yeah, I know, but Quinlan, Sandilands and Templeton played as KPPs at 193, 188, 191 (Parke a mobile CHF at 185), but Merrington consistently played FB for several seasons at 187 and 85kgs picking up the taller and/or heavier McKenna, Wade, even Hudson and Donohue, amongst others, when Sandilands...
I went off Wikipedia and afltables. Club sites have interesting variations. Even back when Scott West and Brad Johnson were running around, the club would change their height (up and down) almost yearly.
Sam Edmund in some clip posted on the North board said Lobb has wanted out for some time, even before this season, but not as adamant as others where he ends up. So maybe not the fait accomplis everyone assumes coming to us. Although I believe Clarkson may have hinted in recent comments that...
Who'd have thought that Naughton and Cordy would be the 'shortest talls' we look like going into a final at 195 and 193!? (Cordy is also listed at 195 on Wikipedia)
English 207
Darcy 208
Bruce 197
JUH 197
Gardner 197
Or we could bring in:
Keath 197
Schache 199
Sweet 203
Martin 199...
Father sons all over the place! We could almost field a 'Footscray' under age side in the EDFL or WRFL (or both) full of father sons, or maybe a NAB League u18 team?! Have we got enough daughters for a team?
So Zorko is, to quote David King, a recidivist, but Lions now making him out to be the victim.
"Poor Dayne, please feel sorry for him, he's the sole captain, what a burden to carry."
I suppose not every captain can be Bont-like, or even Bont-lite.
While [REDACTED] allows me to use my imagination, which I enjoy, I also enjoy reading what other posters would specifically like to do to Ian Collins.
Personally, I'd get a horny male donkey, cover Collins in the scent of a female donkey, then strap him ****** in a ****** ** ******* using a...
This poster was onto it back in March! :D (I may have been more pessimistic as the year progressed in other threads, but I'll ignore those! Also my Sweet/English call was not so prophetic, but you can't win 'em all!)
In: Sweet, Schache, Kearh
Out: VDM, conceding 5m on the mark, zone defence
English, Darcy, JUH, Naughton, Bruce forward
Gardner, Keath, Cordy back
Sweet and Schache ruck
Bevo to go nuts on a tall team.
4 weeks of out marking oppos, and KPFs kicking bags, and strolling to a flag.
Then...
Still working beautifully. Bevo is a genius, so far ahead of the curve. One day the game may actually catch up to him. The years of using the tactic where it costs us repeatedly in games will be worth the pay-off. Unfortunately, I suspect I won't be around to see it.
To put it in context...
