Harsh on DBJ. In 2024 1.1 goals/game. 1 GA/game. 11 disposals, 3 tackles and more pressure acts than any other forward. What exactly would his stats have to be for him to be a 'real' small forward? I get that he was a makeshift small forward initially and that he is more of an opportunist than...

Chris Grant was drafted age 16.

Well that means a getting Richmond's 10/11 for our 13 and whatever. What could we offer that they would really want???

Ironically calling somebody a smug bellend is almost the very definition of smug. Your attempted Keatingisms aren't funny and don't impress anyone. Repeatedly calling fellow posters in a footy discussion forum cucks, dickheads and bellends etc is really the act of a vainglorious nincompoop...

If Luko can get back to somewhere near his 2023 form of 39 goals, 6.4 marks a game, 1 contested then I consider that worth the salary hit. Sure Dimma is kicking him out but we don't necessarily know the whole story and didn't he give us Jay? There is no doubt he seems to have a lot of Todd...

The only two real opportunities we have to win a premiership were in 2014 and 2020 when we lost the prelims by under a goal and the teams we lost to went on to be premiers. Lo and behold who was AA in both years and runner up in the brownlow in 2020. Travis Boak. In both prelims he did...

As an aside I am completely happy for Soldo to be traded and for us to get a project ruck in. Sweet tried hard, gave good service to our midfielders. He is the future as our no1 ruck.

It might not be at the core of our issues and yes this stat is caused partly because of the snaps and shots we have to take as a result of Hinkleyball. Still it is an unacceptable stat if you expect to win finals. It kills us time and time again and has done for years Most importantly it is...

The 'bit of luck' that Kenny refers to in our last match came down to Hawthorn kicking 2 posters while we won by 3 missed shots at goal. Just one of those posters goes through and we are out in straight sets for two years in a row. We have 43% accuracy this year, dead last, while the average is...

Oh ****. Confirming a coach before the season is over. Kochie doesn't have a steep learning curve does he. Definitely time to move both of these ****ers on. You really have to wonder what it will take though. So ****ing frustrating.

Sorry, when was Ken Hinkley confirmed for 2025?

In his time as a forward this season Rat averages the same number of MOLs as Todd this season (1.2 per game). Rat is fine as a leading mark. Our gameplan doesn't encourage him to play as leading forward. The coaches etc want him to play as Dixon mk2. He is not encouraged to lead and when he does...

All HGH will do is speed up the rate that you reach your genetically predetermined height. You might be able to squeeze in an extra cm. At the same time as it speeds up your growth, it speeds up the fusing of the growth plates in your long bones. As yet there is no drug that can increase one's...

The ruck rules have again been changed to suit crash and bash rucks. Frustratingly these days we don't know how much Dante weighs by judging by appearances he is going to need another year or two in the gym before matching it with the best big boys. Few variables to consider...how good he is...

Todd needed to be gifted games because tall forwards need time to develop. However lets write off the inexperienced Lachie and Mattaes years before they even reach their athletic peak and in Lachie's case before he can even get his body right for an uninterrupted season. While there is truth...

I presume you mean me JammiesBC. Clearly Charlie is done. At 33 he was unarguably our 2nd most potent KPF, 2nd for score involvements, 2nd for GA% (other than Lord who averaged a herculean goal a match) and was our best 2nd ruck. Still its not saying much given that Mitch is our only KPF who...

So you blame John Howard for all our ills?

This talk about the players who would leave when Hinkley goes is sickening. It seems to happen every time a coach leave. This preemptive crystal ball gazing of who would almost certainly leave when a senior coach goes. I remember Boak talking about how on board he was with Primus. Then when...

There are few, if any, posters who have blasted Todd and then hailed Esava as you are suggesting. Surprise surprise from you it is plain hyperbole. There is no doubt that Esava started well but has played disappointingly in his past few matches. Yes I would have played Marshal. on Thursdayl...

Well there is a bye now between the minor round and finals. Traditionally it is seen as an advantage to virtually guarantee yourself two home finals (yer that is a joke looking at Port's AO history). The minute a top two finish was beyond doubt players should have been dragged and rested. I...

Statistically Dixon would have kicked 50+ in 2020 bar the shortened games and shortened season but yeah 9 years is too long really. Another full preseason of fitness and gym work should see his star rise even higher. Whatever he has done to correct his goalkicking yips he should not tinker with...

When? Possibly the first half of 2022 where he helped himself a great deal by having 3 games where he had no shots at goal.

Marshall still only 55.7% before his injury. Average. He has only been above average once in 2022 (top 33% Goal kicking average). Never elite (top 10%). Dead eye applies to the likes of Larkey (65.7%), Breust(62.0%), Darling(58.3%), Stengle(62.0%), Hogan(59.5%),Darcy Fogarty(59.5%) etc.

I agree with almost everything else that was said by both posters here except for the bolded bits. A career average of 53.4% is bog average. He had a very good year in 2022 and it seems like that is what everyone including commentators seems to remember. The reality is that Dixon has a better...

Along with Robbie Gray, I thought he was the best chance at being our first Brownlow winner. That showdown was just storybook. Thanks for the memories and we will always have those early seasons. Nonetheless when I hear his name I will always think of the player he could have been. I do hate...

Um, IIRC Mitch has not yet played in a final. But carry on.
