I dont know if it's tracked anywhere, but I wouldnt be surprised if Darcy has run more total kms than any other players in the comp.

With Darcy its not total kms covered where he's overly impressive its total kms covered at high speed where he is basically blitzing the league.

He currently hold the top 5 matches this year for total kms covered at high speed.

Couple of little Saints tidbits from Hoyne’s segment on SEN:

- Liam Henry’s highest rated game for his career and was the highest rated player on the ground. I’m guessing it was because he was all damage.

- Our forward pressure rating on the weekend was the lowest they’d recorded for 8 years. I keep saying it but three tall forwards isn’t a premiership combination. Forward pressure used to be the hallmark of a Ross gameplan but he seems to prefer talls up forward these days.
 
From Dane Swan's speech at the HOF dinner last night discussing the premiership reunion they have every year in the first week of December.

"You leave at lunch a day or two later and you think how lucky am I to have won a premiership? If the ball bounces the other way and St Kilda win it, we’re part of the Colliwobbles I guess!...."

Henry was a lot more damaging than he's been in the past. He seemed a lot more contested in this game and won his own ball. He was nearly non existent in the first quarter so once they set him up in the middle he must have powered away. He started up forward. Not sure when he made the move but most of his damage was done n the second half. If that's the regular standard he gets to he'll be a star.

If he ends up being the player we hope I'd not trade him at all. You don't let exceptional talent go.Draft picks are compensation for loss but rarely end up a positive for the side losing the player. We've become so used to winning trades not matches that we've forgotten the purpose of the draft is to build a better list.

His first half was ordinary against the Lions, practically no manning up or defensive pressure off the ball. When he goes all attack, he's great, and I think he must stay up around the middle of the ground for maximum impact

Anyone see this article on the AFL website and find it low-key infuriating: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1153976...ce-simon-beaumont-and-other-unlikely-big-bags

In an article on unexpected bags amongst genuine spuds like Bruce and Ronke and backman like SOS, they put Milne?? 574 career goals, 6 years of 50+, 5 bags of 6+ in his career, 2x AA, 4x leading goal scorer in a team that included Gehrig, Riewoldt and Kosi at various stages. And it's somehow a complete out of the box fluke he dobbed 11 in a 140 point flogging? The disrespect smh.

Plenty end up with a positive.

Some sucker traded for Barry Brooks and gave Port the Salopek pick.
When someone picked up Farren Ray, the Dogs drafted Jordan Roughead.
Essendon used the Lovett pick to help get Mark Williams and draft Jake Carlisle.
Sydney used the pick they got for Trent Dennis-Lane to get Tim Membrey. ( bad luck for them they didn't use him ).
Billy Longer gave the Suns Daniel McStay.
Nathan Freeman helped Collingwood get James Aish.
Jack Steele gave GWS Brent Daniels.
Fremantle upgraded the pick they got for Hill to secure Serong.
Fremantle used later picks they got for Hill to get James Aish.

Or is that just when its StKilda doing the trading?

I see you’re coming around to Henry being a good pickup now, good to see. Hopefully he can start accumulating more because he is so creative with the ball

Was it also a fluke when he kicked 8, and 7 twice?

Gotta be due to the Campbell inclusion. Having an immobile ruckman in our forward line gotta be detrimental to forward pressure

Yes possibly, but his inclusion gave us a superiority in hitouts and clearances plus Rohan running around like an extra midfielder.
best display from our mids against a top four midfield in quite some time.

Trade off of one with the other. Also Butlers first full game back. King needs to lift his defensive game as well.

I know I keep saying it but I think a lot of it has to do with being too tall in the forward line. Was the biggest problem in our finals against GWS.

Yes it has been my point all year. Our forward line has been too tall and lacked pressure players.

Now at the start of the year injuries/suspensions basically selected the 22. But we have had too man talls/third talls in our forward line for almost every game.

It is key reason why the ball rebounds out so easily so often.
