Motlops 23 was miles off Watsons 24.

2.0 shots on goal vs 3.4
1.1 goals vs 1.4 goals
0.3 behinds vs 1.5 behinds
0.3 GA's vs 0.7 GA's
3.8 SI's vs 5.6 SI's


It's not even close. If Watson had have kicked an average accuracy at goals he'd have kicked close to 40 goals this season
So we're looking at shots on goal, goals and behinds??? Way to stack a deck. Is Jesse's accuracy a bad thing now?

Like I said, not a mile off. Particularly given the expectations on each and the relative focus they have in their respective forward set ups.

He's behind in literally every important stat a small forward can have except goal accuracy. I didn't even bother to include tackles, disposal efficiency, score launches etc.

Miles off him. Even worse if u look at this season
 
What about the trade fails you conveniently ingnore: Williams, Thomas, Mcgovern, Martin, Cerra.
When a trade fails, unlike a draft failure you lose additionally Cap Space and if the draft pick is moderately successful career length because the traded player is usually post 25
Cerra is the only one we traded for of thise listed.

3 extra points generated per week. 0.1 of a tackle. 1.2% disposal efficiency.

I mean Jesse had more pressure acts and tackles inside 50...are they important stats for small forwards?

We appear to have different definitions of 'miles', but BF is a broad church.

missing every 2nd kick for an accumulator like walsh is a worry ...lots of kicks not going where they should
It's more than that. Remember long kicks that go to a contest are "effective". Walsh does that a fair bit. I doubt we retain half of those.

Have some humans developed a new sense I'm unaware of? I didn't realise you could know a muscle was about to tear.

Seems a pretty unfair advantage to me!

Hamstrings are nasty. They can feel fine and then not. There's often not warning on subsequent tears and due to the nature of the muscle it's quite difficult to strength test the right 'string'.

Maybe there's also just possibly a teeny tiny element of the players haven't had a choice in how hard they've been required to push under Voss and Russell too. Especially after the 'learnings' from last year's prelim loss was - we need to be fitter and stronger so we don't run out of steam. Not that we need to rotate and manage better. All in on being even fitter and even stronger...... Hamstring nightmare. If a player opts out in this situations what happens next... Can't do this session Vossy we're training too hard. Creates a new separate set of issues
Hamstrings will often tighten up before tearing, that’s why players are now being rested with hamstring awareness.
 
Need to wait and see who we bring before judging the kennedy/owies/Young decisions.

Personally I see the petracca houstons sdk type acquisitions as pipe dreams but we'll have to wait and see.

That's the game changing trade the club should throw everything at. Will we? Very unlikely. I couldn't care less if we didn't draft a 1st rounder after that. There isnt a draftee that would impact our team the way SDK would immediately
 
I think improving our midfield, small forwards, KPD and speed/ball use on the flanks all in one off season will be extremely difficult. In my opinion the midfield is easiest to paper over with some additional rotations from players like Elijah, Cowan, Docherty, Fogarty, any other good half forwards we may pick up etc.

Finding a quality quick mid who's ready to player year 1 will be extraordinarily difficult with all our other list needs imo so we may be best served finding value in flankers who can pinch hit on ball to spread the load.

Switkowski plays a totally different role. He's a high half forward who's game is built on pressure and creating scoring opportunities for others between the arcs, Williams is much more a forward pocket type who can hit the scoreboard himself and deliver the ball to a leading forward. Switowski is basically a 2nd Fogarty which would help our treacle paced midfield defend and pressure just as GWS send Daniels and Bedford up the field to assist Tom Green, Cogs etc who are no faster than our mids.

Entitled to have your own opinion on him though. Would prefer Rosas but sounds like he's off the market, ut Ib'd still be pretty excited to see our pressure game in action with Switkowski and Fogarty in a team together.

As would i.

F*** I hate this period. With nothing to do all of y'all are like hyenas. Any scrap is gospel. Cleary has the worst record of any footy journo right up there with Sam McClure.

Seriously I can't wait till preseason starts and everyone can stop putting knees into players that may or may not be leave.

Let's just wait and see before anything.

All this Voss is...and player x is shit is toxic af. I'll be back once trade period is done.

I actually love it. Love the debate and the possibilities that get explored all with the idea of improving our list & performance.

It’s what makes our game so great and the fan engagement within this period is next level.

Trade period in my opinion has become more important than draft week.

It’s a fascinating time.

So you popped in to tell us you're leaving? :think: :rolleyes:

I reckon when you’ve done a hammy properly you’re always a bit aware of it. I know I was. That said whilst it flies in the face with high performance I could see the Voss and Russell pushing him too hard or putting him under pressure to return.
