I wonder what Nick Daicos would have had to do to get his mark up from 8.5? Cure cancer in his spare time?

I liked the comments from Hinkley at the end of the “Cornes-Francis” video posted a few up above.

“I think Nick won”

“He got us bad, today”

Contrast Bucks when Tom Mitchell got about 100 disposals, "He didn't really hurt us today".

Yeah, I remember that one. Ironic that he now plays for us, but is able to have maximal impact. Also loving the lack of damaging ball opposing midfields are getting out of the centre. Shame we’ll be playing Melbourne when Gawn is back, Carlton’s midfield will be a good test… who else has an elite midfield?

The first 10 mins of On The Couch last night were all about Collingwood in 2023, and there were some really interesting stats and quality analysis provided.

Like this?
It's a shame kick rating is rarely published as it needs some context.
Looks impressive though.




One example I found for context (up to Round 9 2022).
+12.3% was league highest then - so the above are exceptional but won't stay that high for 9 rounds or a season (though Naicos is at 40 kicks already).

Pendlebury and Lipinski were top 4 then.

But did he "thicken the soup"?

 

[Vicky Park]

Bucks - "Tom Mitchell thickens the soup" - OK thank God we have Fjy now

This might sound like heresy, and I love the man, but I’m finding Bucks very difficult to listen to this season. He is so analytical, so heavy on data and stats, and so bloody knowledgeable about footy that I’m starting to tune out. My eyes keep glazing over. Also think this might be a glimpse into how he communicated as a coach. He’s very intense and heavy going!

There’s just something about that metaphor that makes me feel sick.

Spare time? I reckon Nick will do it on field one day he’s that good

Quite so - extremely heavy going

If Nick and Pendles dedicated even half of that extra time they always seem to have to they could solve it by the mid season bye.

Yeah agree. That Port game commentary was dull as if it was a funeral. Hope Fox can get some lively commentators

They have. Dwayne. He’s the opposite end of the scale though. Would blow a gasket commentating chess

I agree - there's information overload from Bucks. More than once I thought "what's he on about?" after some impenetrable analysis.
Sure he knows a lot, but it makes his commentary as dry as the Sahara.
BT is at the opposite end of the spectrum, blathering on to add as much "colour" as possible.
Bring back Dennis Cometti.

I know what you mean.He speaks in that droning monotone voice,and he talks very slowwwwly.It takes him quite a while to make a point while the play is going on.No wonder your eyes glaze over when he’s commentating.Still love him as a player though.He is a Collingwood legend after all.

Why Fox dont get Whateley to call games is crazy. **** SEN

I must be Robinson Crusoe here because I didn’t mind that analogy when it comes to Mitchell’s impact. He’s won us clearances but also made us harder to win clearances against. Our midfield soup was runny last year.

 

[domus]

Tiges fans cop a bum rap in this regard. They always made their presence known even when they were the laughing stock of the AFL.

No they didn't. I remember the SOS campaign around 1990. They were getting low crowds only 8 years after a flag and losing GF. We rattled cans and their was an ad pleading for donations to save their skin.
I recall a home game of 10 k at the G for one of their games against an interstate team.

So how long before the boys run with "Cornstarch" for Titch

Watching 'on the couch' and their exploration of our midfield setup was enlightening - there is a plan there in place to keep Nick free with rotations between 5 mid/halfback/wing and the rotational players are just half a level down from Nick.

We are definitely putting the hard word on the competition.

Interesting times ahead.

The HUN print shit to get people to complain.
If not for the complaints no-one would even mention them.

I loved Bruce. Anthony Hudson is another I enjoy.
