Congrats to Fagan, but thought it might be Mitchell or Scott. Both took their teams up 9 places - Hawks 16th to 7th, and Cats 12th to 3rd. Both won their first final against the higher ranked teams. Both lost their next final in a close game.

Have changed 'points' to 'votes' - should make more sense now.

Some more fun facts: Heeney, Gulden and Warner combined got 8 more votes than Geelong Geelong had the lowest average votes per win, by a fair way... Average votes per win: North Melbourne 14.00 Richmond 9.50 Fremantle 7.91 Carlton 6.69 Bulldogs 6.50 Adelaide 6.50 Essendon...

They've had one straight sets exit, out of 14 top four finishes in the last 20 years. (1 in 15 if you go back 21 years). Yeah, it certainly does speak for itself. And it's actually 7 prelim losses in 20 years, with 6 wins. In the last 20 years (2005-2024): 17 finals series 14 top four H/A...

Aaron Edwards also in 2007 semi-final.

Not sure how often Port finished H/A in 3rd or 4th, but worth keeping in mind that for teams finishing H/A in 3rd/4th, the expected outcome is to finish 3rd/4th after finals, meaning they would have 1 win and 2 losses (33.3% strike rate).

Yeah, same - looking forward to having our starting midfield back too. Dangerfield, Guthrie, Blicavs were missed this week... ah yeah, and Stanley... are we counting rucks?

Like the Cats home game against your Blues? Oh wait, that was at the MCG.

Clearly they were booing the incorrect disposal immediately before the goal

3 of those losses by 8, 6 and 4 points, and currently sitting behind 4th on percentage. Could easily have been different. The sky is not falling yet IMO.

Cats missing Danger, Bruhn, Bowes too.

Don't forget Hawkins had a decent start to the year. After round 3, he was 5th in the league for average goals kicked, prior to run of 4 goalless games (he didn't play the Kangaroos game in the middle of those 4). Average Goals at End of Round 3: 4.00 Jesse Hogan 3.67 Harry McKay 3.33...

Geelong stuffed their own season. Pretty sure if Adelaide had won, Geelong needed the Eagles to win their last two games.

I reckon the angle from behind the goals (here at 0:30) shows Rampe running mostly along the centre square line, and McNeil with the greater change in direction at the last moment, when focusing on their feet.

Exactly. Francis wanted the free.

Francis had an alternative, he could have braced with his free arm.

Why? Francis had an arm free

Geelong 2008. They had arguably the best Home & Away season of all-time. Only two teams have ever achieved a 21-1 win/loss ratio - Bombers 2000 and Geelong 2008, but Gelong had the higher percentage with 161.8% vs Bombers 159.1%. The reason I say arguable, is because Collingwood went 18-0 in...

The point is, I don't think you can judge the midfield on today's performance, especially the youngsters, when there was almost no midfield playing today. Bruhn played. Knevitt. Both have looked good previously. Holmes, Bowes and Clark have looked good, but all out injured.

Who knows, but with midfield rotation consisting of Blicavs, Bruhn, Atkins and Parfitt, with O'Connor moving in there too, and Ceglar in ruck, even an experienced player would have looked bad playing there today. They had no hope before the game even started, and did well to even be a chance...

They had a few out of the midfield today - Dangerfield, Stanley, Holmes, Guthrie, Bowes, Menegola, Clark, Simpson.

Bowes, Menegola, Clark also injured, and Simpson could have gone in there.

Geelong 2008 had the best total season (H/A and Finals) by a runner-up, which is also the 6th best total season all-time when including premiers. https://afltables.com/afl/teams/allteams/season.html#13 They also had the equal most wins in a Home & Away season - arguably the best H&A season...

Goanna did their own song (Solid Rock)

You might be getting confused there, Google TV is fairly new - it's the successor to Android TV, and also replaces Google Play Movies. Google TV with the 7Plus app (on an Nvidia Shield TV device) is what I'll be using. I'd recommend the "Chromecast with Google TV" (the Chromecast with the...

I disagree. I think what he was saying was... "they had some form of triangulation there, my head started to explode at one stage. But anyway, I thought I was looking up at [unsure what he said] I thought I don't know what's going on". If he (or you) doesn't understand it, that doesnt mean...

Not sure how you got that from it. He seemed evasive to me, not answering the question directly, saying, that his problem with it was the process (ie, the ump saying I think it's a goal but want to review it, and "based on that vision" Hardwick "couldn't categorically say it wasn't a goal".)...
