Just out of curiosity how is it not a real discussion? Just because the trend of replacing a player we recruited doesn’t happen much? Lipinski’s stamina is quite good, sure. But he loses every single 50/50 contest. Ginnivan could be in your best 15 and is way more hungry, wins 50/50, has good...

where do we play Nick? and if the answer is midfield, who from GWS are going to tag him? I’d be inclined to play Nick from halfback if it were against a team that would effectively tag him (as it’s been a very effective ploy against us). but do GWS have anyone that can go with him in the...

So where is Crisp playing right now? I was under the impression that Crisp has taken Nick Daicos' half back spot. In any rate (result of this or not) since Nick has moved into the midfield, Crisp's form has gone back to the form that earned him back to back Copelands.

Ummmmm 2011 Preliminary final. Leon Davis -- 23 disposals and a goal from half back. Goal went a long way to winning the game. I know Hipwood also played some other good games so if your point is about them being inconsistent then I suppose it's accurate. But Leon redeemed himself. 20...

This is what we're going to have to do going forward for sure, like it or not Grundy and his contract aren't leaving. I think the fact that it hasn't killed us this year is only further proof that Grundy isn't a player worth building a team around. This is not meant with any disrespect to...

Brad Dick was a legend, I refuse to hear a bad word about him.

I've thought about this, & in a thread like bigfooty where you can't tell the sex of people commenting, I think it's fine as it gives more of a compliment to his looks. It comes across to me like 'even though I rarely notice a good looking man, this is a man that made me notice how good looking...

...does Leon Davis get a mention in this era naming? Both All Australian's twice. Both lovely kicks. Sure Didak had a career total of 134 goal assists to Leon's 106. But Leon put it inside fifty 141 times less than Dids did. But maybe that's because you felt like you needed to kick it, if a...

I don't think I've ever seen a man as happy as Mick looks

Reidy was one of my favourite players back in the day. He was a GUN CHB. He was the first player that I remember backing into packs and taking intercept marks. I remember thinking... 'why isn't he punching it?' Does anyone know if he was one of the pioneers in intercepting the ball (now every...

Lol. Jason Cloke was a pretty good player mate. Him getting suspended and missing the 2002 grand final was a pretty big deal at the time and could have been a factor in the result. But nah we played him for 76 games and drafted him in 2000 to get his 13 year old brother at the time. Part of our...

Nice review and what you said about Mason is true. He definitely is a slow starter. I just like to say I've been on bigfooty for about ten years now & the main forward is always any easy target to blame. Cloke got it, and now Mason was getting it in the autopsy thread (by some). The thing about...

Look, I'm not the biggest Callum Brown fan. I don't think he can kick further than 30m. But he was directly responsible for two goals today. 1) He took on four Carlton defenders and got the hard ball out to Thomas who got it to Pendles, to Tyler and then to Stevenson on the lead. It was one of...

Can anyone please answer this Question!? Bit of a curious one. So on the pies website it says this: "When determining which players would get to wear the same number as they do for their club, those who have played the most games wearing that number were given priority. Hence, North Melbourne...

This is very close to last year’s grand final squad now. With it essentially being OUT Langdon, Goldsack IN Moore, Roughead. Whilst, Langdon is a lock in the top 22, I’m excited to see this team play together. Despite the hype, I think we match up on Melbourne quite well. Beaten them the...

De Goey!?

He also reinstated this stance fifteen years ago https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-moore-things-change-20030608-gdvuak.html Based on this pattern evidence every fifteen years he rediscovers his infatuation with the pies. C’mon, Darcy Moore isn’t going to leave...

Any chance at all ‘how do you like them Apples’ comes straight back into the side!? And if not do you think he’ll work his way back in!?

Anyone noticed that Steely hasn’t kicked a goal in ages!? Missed a lot of shots in the past ten or so weeks. It’s bizarre. I want someone to tell him so he breaks clear of this and kicks four on the weekend! Love a Steele snap & it’s been sorely missed in this otherwise entertaining season.

You reckon? Hit outs: Grundy 49 vs Witts 25 Disposals: Grundy 23 vs Witts 15 Tackles Grundy 9 vs Witts 3 Clearances Grundy 7 vs Witts 1 Same amount of marks. In fact the only stat that Witts won was contested marks. By one. But maybe you were creating some sweet laughs that I didn’t pick up on.

Maybe I’m missing something, but what about Jack Crisp!? What does he need to improve to genuinely get into the AA conversation? Think he’s been in our top 6 or 7 this year. Has been huge.

Whilst most of your posts annoy me, this one takes the cake. You always defend the club, (club is always right, never wrong. Perfect place). This always seems noble. Yet now, someone has a different opinion to you so you attack their credibility? What happened to the noble (repetitive) fairness...

I just want to go out of my way to give you a compliment Shpesh. You’re one of my favourite posters since I started frequenting this board (like just before 09, made this account in 09, don’t post much). Anyway, the reason why is because that you’re definitely pessimistic (and rightfully so...

Oh mate, first one you’ve posted I sort of disagree with! Levi Greenwood 8/10? I’m willing to give him time but he looked cooked out there to me. Really struggled with the pace in the first half, gave away a goal via a free kick. Sure he worked his way into it, but 8/10? Looks like a slow...

I’ll take a crack! Hindsight adds some points to Daisy probably. But I would say Dale Thomas just shades him — on face value. When he came on the scene it was nothing like I’d personally seen before from a first year player. He was just super exciting. I would say what he had over Stephenson...

Just curious, how didn’t he play badly in your opinion!? Do you think he’s doing anything that Fasolo couldn’t do!? Genuine question. On the stats sheet he looked fine. But he missed an easy snapshot, dropped a few marks, looks a tad slow at AFL level imho. Then you have Blair who did his job...

What are the important defensive match ups!? Is anyone in the midfield going to do a run with role!? Any chance we’re done complaining and can talk tactics!? I really don’t watch many Richmond games so would like to get some insight into who Sharenberg will take this week, if dusty is forward...

I think the most important matchup for me is whoever plays on Betts. He obviously didn’t play last time & likely could have been the difference. Do we have a small shutdown defender!? It looks like this week the forward line has some good options & the midfield has proven it can at least match...

Great write up! I'll answer this Langdon query for you. Both talented players but Hosk will usually be up forward so his mistakes are less costly. Also, there isn't a player like him in the team (hard running goal kicking mid, who is quick as all hell and he is an accurate set shot :eek:). He's...

Sco, don't you think that with some decent delivery Moore has AA potential? If you look at the past center half/ full forwards they've all been crucified by delivery and then by the supporters and then by Buckley (Cloke, Reid (dropped last year, negative comments online), now Moore). I'm sure...
