Buy a clue. I'll even give you the $5. Check out the last quarter and watch who took contested marks for us and gave us a way out of the defensive 50. If you'd watched him that closely you might have an idea.

Bet a lot of you cheered when he laid the perfect tackle.

And again you offer nothing. But then what is it they say about empty vessels ....

Spelling lessons might be a good start.

Well they do say that the first step is always accepting the truth about yourself. There's lots of self improvement and learning you can undertake to improve your ignorance. There's even some (not much) on the internet.

An average of 10 to 12 contested marks per side in an AFL game. Luke takes them. The other 800 don't. Keep highlighting your ignorance. This could be fun.

Fair few goldfish on this thread. Luke's fumble and poor tackle not great. Any remember the strong contested mark, intelligent handball to Dusty, switch to Ellis and missed goal that would have sealed the game about 90 seconds earlier. No of course not. That would have been crediting a...

Watch any football last season ? It got mentioned on nearly every game we played after round 11. I live in NY and caught that.

7 changes, a different structure and we won. Probably should check what expectations were and measure against that. I liked the game and enjoyed the win. We changed the forward line, the defensive structure (didn't play 7 back as much) and the midfield and still won every statistical...

Which Matt Dea is that ? Dea is built like Dusty. You're not confusing someone with O'Hanlon or Elton by any chance ?

No the AFL placed a 3 year moratorium on AFL clubs going alone. It was this year or hold off for 3 years. This was done: a) to support the VFL and help stabilise it b) Control AFL costs which posted a $15 million or so loss and had more clubs lose more money last year than previous years...

Matt Dea has had stress fractures in the feet and shins both of the last two seasons, Very limited running background. He has speed. He does appear to lack some running endurance but hasn't been able to work on it in his previous pre-seasons/seasons.

The thing is that if you see him on the track he is more chiselled than last year. So to date, he has had a very good (solid for some, stellar for others) first two years of his career and has come back to pre-season training this year fitter than ever before. His kicking in some of the...

Don't know much then. Delhi does have a metro system which is both below and above ground.

Dimma never said 22 games in the one's. He just said (and I paraphrase) "he's fit and he should play 22 games". Didn't specify the level. Given Matt has had two injury interrupted seasons I read that purely to mean that they wanted him on the park, playing footy and developing. I expect him...

Re: jake King investigated by police for allegedly threatening to kill a Melbourne man and his famil Nearly 14,000 intervention orders issued in Victoria in the 10 this to the end of April this year. It is a simple 3 step procedure with no evidence required to initiate it. Guys, if you can...

Physiologists will tell you that to prepare for a late night game you should be up at that time keeping your metabolism going. So the Thursday night activities of the various players are actually probably beneficial. This game was later than any gametime except the odd WA night game. The lack...

Thanks RD. My exact point. I'm hoping that another 3 to 4 weeks sorts that issue out.

Gotta laugh. 1. We caused the Saints to turn the ball over just as much. Pressure and implied pressure are great things. 2. Gus won the ruck and meant we had equal first use of the ball. I obviously saw a different game. 3. Nahas sparked lots of run. Very good 3rd quarter. 4. Foley is...

I'll do a player for player break down for the RFC boys. Troy Taylor: Lasted 15 minutes. Went on with a strapped up calf. Got one touch. Seemed only a twinge. He seemed pretty relaxed and happy and was "in" with the RFC boys who came down, Griffiths, Conca, O'Rielly, Hicks, Astbury (had a...

Went to the game as well. Some match observations. We played two stay at home wingers (Nason and Webberley). From what I could gather from the PA/Alice Springs game, this is a Richmond game style that Coburg adopted. They are/were release players. Last year the release player was on the...

Once again with the baseless and unsupported accusations. Can you actually read. I made no such statement. I just highlighted two disposals that indicate that Tuck can dispose the ball well. No comparison no discussion about type of disposal. No implication. Can you comprehend that. Don't...

Where did I state that ? Once again putting words into a post that are not there. but you sweepingly disparage him and wont accept good disposal. What's that word or term. "Selective" though hypocrisy springs to mind. On the second point exactly why he was dropped late in 2009 and in 2010...

I'll agree to disagree on kicking ability. Jackson has a good record at shots at goal. But that's by the by. You bemoan the lack of big-bodied hard at it midfielders. Please provide thoughts, ideas, knowledge on how to get them or where they are. That's the bit I really don't get. Good...

Fair enough. I place more value on what it takes to get players to an elite endurance/durability/speed/reflex capability and how rare that is.

I am fully aware of who Ling and Kirk are. Hence why I made the point. they have a set of characteristics including reflexes, durability, speed or endurance, decision making that enable them to play AFL. Jackson and Tuck share some of those characteristics especially with respect of hardness...

I would debate your German, but that's just me.

Ya reckon. Very up and under and can and does get intercepted. Looked absolutely shot against the Pies in the prelim. Ling can slow them down to make sure he picks a safe option.
