Re Walsh and his back issues
Was it the best decision by Carlton to play him through the season when clearly he was hampered?

There's a good reason why our fitness boss got the ass. I'd say the Walsh business would have been one of them. We had 3 off season back surgeries in the same year under his watch.

Is it known if he's OK now and back at full fitness?

From all reports he's doing about 90% of the main group stuff. Came 3rd in our 2km so I'd say he's pretty close to full fitness. Likely just managing his loads to start off to lower the risk of reinjury.

View attachment 2183302This is the AFL Coaches Association Best young player award, they’re holding a pretty good track record. Is this the popularity contest you speak of?

You quite literally posted about AA’s.

 

[SSSSSS]

You must have missed "at the same age"

Same age. Sheezel left. Daicos right.

Daicos looks slightly ahead IMO but it's very close. We're talking a few statistical points either side of each other across many different areas of footy.

To say one has the other comfortably covered is just plain wrong.

You're obviously not familiar with Arr0w's musings...

You struggle with predictions within a 12 month period, you expect people to embrace a career prediction over a career?

Every time we see Walshisthegoat we are expected to

But that's a 'statement', not a 'prediction'...

Queensland is overrated. Hot, crap in the ocean that bites you, strong currents which make it dangerous, lots of cane toads... lots of scummy bogans and humid beyond an acceptable level. Disastrously Crap coffee and food and expensive to do normal things. No mountains or cool changes and full of retirees who are angry and can't drive. The women are also more matey, not as good looking. Nicer, but if you want to be romantically with your mates, it's a free country, I guess.

There's more to Queensland than Airlie Beach, mate.

We’re not game to suggest Nick is better than anyone. His lack of contested marking or hitouts will be pointed out and then how he never wins any contested possessions. Last resort is to call him a girl.

Try 2022 v 2024, where both players played the full year as 19 year olds

But everyone's aware of your ummm "analysis"

 

[Fadge]

...and then how he never wins any contested possessions.

I particularly love this one.

Then we point out that he averaged the fifth most contested possessions last year of all players in the competition.

And then we're told that they're not 'hard ball gets', and then we highlight that he averages as many hard ball gets as the likes of Petracca, Heeney, Warner and Bontempelli.

And then they crawl back into their holes.

To prepare another synopsis on why he’s not very good

Prolific contest shirker pretty well sums up his flaws.

Fair enough. Now call him Nicky and you'll grow an extra 2 inches downstairs

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Fair enough. Now call him Nicly and you'll grow an extra 2 inches downstairs

Only thing getting me excited is Andrew Walkers boy coming in in a couple of years. Looking like a cross between Fyfe and Bont atm. I imagine he'll be topping these sort of lists soon after he gets started.

Nice. Well just have to settle for the actual number 1 at present

Sheezel?

Sheezel?

Yeah Sheez. Its easier this way

 

[Pistol Night]

Sheezel?

By the way if WalshistheGOAT he has 11 better GOATS in his age bracket ahead of him

So you've given up on the hope of contending for premierships with your current shallow list, and now just looking forward to a 16 year old who might be good enough to win an individual award one day?

Nice.

I thought he had a manbun and a huge snoz if he looked like Bont X Fyfe. I was thinking that's a weird strength to get excited about

I think Caleb Windsor and Darcy Wilson could enter chats after this year they both are a little underrated, I think.
