So - St Kilda have completely embarrassed themselves with that best and fairest event.
Using it as a platform to complain about the AFL is just absolute sook material. The AFL has a lot of areas it can improve on - but why was that the forum for it? Why was that the style of conveying it to...
He's a buffoon - but to be really fair he's a sincere guy and put himself out there for 14 years and this interview is so honest and genuinely a great response to a tricky situation. Well done Robbo
If Melbourne offload Oliver successfully they'll become a lot more confident in trading other players in. Both cause of salary cap room and because they can say they're cleaning up the joint
Amazing how the media froths over an insta comment - but hardly anyone of them jumped on the fact that Ginnivan showed some remorse to the team.
Ginnivan is one of those attention magnets. You can say that he does it to himself but the frenzy around him is unlike anything I've seen for a...
Yep - Ward and McKenzie tracking ok. Trading them out for a top pick that we hope turns into a Ward or McKenzie isn't wise.
The only reason we'd trade them is if we felt we were surplus of that player type and wanted to trade for a different player type.
Yeh I agree. They cruised through the finals - so despite shortcomings they're definitely a very good team.
But Lions just demolished them. It was quite stunning to watch after quarter time - especially with Brisbane missing their first choice ruckman. I think the dropoff for sydney's midfield...
I think it's hard to say that a team plays like our threepeat team when each grand final was played so differently.
Most marks is one thing - but it also just says that the opposition is stacking the backline and not concerning itself with what chipping around you do to switch play. Was true...
Kingy does what so many people do on bigfooty - and forms an opinion and THEN goes to find data to support. He really looks far and wide for that data and sometimes you sit back and go "hmmm, he's really done some research here"
But ultimately - Kingy has a few explanations for a win:
the...
Finn is a beast and I reckon he's an absolute leader on the training track. We can't keep everyone so maybe we'll lose him or 1 or 2 others. It's disappointing but this is how footy is when you're trying to build a deep list.
Yeah I see what you're saying.
I just don't get what happened to their midfield. Heeney, Warner Rowbottom are all top tier players. But they played midfield first quarter then seemed to be pushed out to the flanks after that - and were just poor.
Yes.
Like - I don't think they're far off a flag but I don't think he can get them there either. Boring look bloke. Players look bored. Reckon they need an A grader in front half and back half to really hit that next level
Maybe this is a bit of hindsight but I have no idea how Sydney led the whole comp all year with that forward line.
I've been watching Amartey closely for a number of weeks and unless he gets off the leash for an uncontested mark he is absolutely useless. Who else have they got up there? Worse...
I think this is too extreme.
Making a grand final seems to be a different challenge to winning one - but look at that Sydney forward line and it's amazing they've kicked a winning score at all this year. They paeked too early and didn't have the listdepth to throw things around in the leadup...
Will be interesting to see how they go - if this small forward line is the thing that wins flags (lohman, Charlie, Bailey, Ah Chee) then we'll see how GWS and Carlton go with gun key forwards that regularly take marks - and if they become an antidote to this.
But yeh - they've done it the...
Nah I reckon that's too simple - no team rolls out onto grand final thinking it'll be easy - especially when they lost one two years earlier.
Their midfield was just demolished - and they don't have a second tier midfield to roll through.
They've been playing Warner off a forward flank which...
That 9 goal performance is gonna get him his next 5 year contract but sheesh - the guy just cannot compete. Unless he's 5m out in front on a lead he's guaranteed not getting the ball
The most perfect day of footy - every hawk fan was just happy to be there - to win, and win in the way we did - was absolutely the best footy fan experience.
People forget how invincible Geelong were post round 5 2007
He had a really good finals series.
Injuries to McKenzie and Day opened the door for him but he performed well and that's what would have caught another team's eye and that's what we need to base negotiations around.
Of course the other club will say "you played him in the seconds half the...
