If our defense is forcing the opposition to look for the ball at 45m on an angle that is a reasonable result in my opinion.

Hey, what happened to your Milky avatar?
Jack, seriously wrong on this occasion, it isn't possible to be sitting third on the AFL list 'for marks taken' and be a no one special. 294 disposals as well. No wonder we over looked Selwood.
Hansen has taken off.
Without an opponent......I stand by all comments made and will be proven correct in the long run.

You severely under rate intercept marks by the sounds of it.
And you seriously underrate tackling, spoiling and manning up by the sounds of it, lol. What the hell is an intercept mark and when did this become part of AFL footy, it is a MARK, by your reasoning any mark taken in front of an opponent is an 'intercept mark' its just another Americanism in our game that doesnt belong. "Intercept marks and intercept possessions are buzz phrases in the industry"
There are reasons why intercept marking has become a buzz word and you obviously do not understand them, so I'll go back in time to try and explain it for you. Basically the game can be broken down into 3 parts-We have it, they have it, the ball is in dispute. When they have it and they kick it into the forward line and they mark it they have a shot on goal and can score. The team with the biggest score wins. If they have it and it is kicked into the forward line and there is no mark then the ball is in dispute and we might win it back, or they might get it and kick a score. (see point before about team with biggest score winning). If they have it and they kick it into the forward line and we mark it, the game can stop, we have it and they can't score! Getting my drift yet? Fast forward to the future (ie now) when teams take control of the ball in the back half this is the chance to rebound and kick a score (and the team with the biggest score wins). Given we are the best team at scoring from our back half in the competition then an intercept mark in our back half could be the most valuable stat to our team. Hope that clears it up.

Obviously not coaching as some of us on here also do.Thanks for that insight into AFL, i've only been playing, attending and watching for 40 years, lol, I think I know the game pretty darn well actually
It's an absolute disgrace that someone would rather a negative opinion of a player be right than be wrong.
Geez I thought he was ok again. Daniher may be a kid but he has enormous talent and does stand as high as a light tower. I thought Keys competed well, helped others by spoiling in pack situations and generally assisted with the backline's functioning as a unit in Scooter's absence.

He's fine in the pack situations. But when he's one out or has the ball, it just doesn't seem to be improving fast enough.
So why is it that you so consistently and belligerently have no clue?
DR has only just realised Milky is no longer playing for North, he's too busy knocking down everyone's comments
