Really nice guy with his heart in the right places, but gee he knew how to rub typical AFL types the wrong way.

Nothing wrong with a forward showing players how to deliver the ball if they're ****ing it up.

Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.

Leigh’s always had a good eye in reviewing the game…gotta laugh at the muppet that went whhhhaaat ….no idea .
If it’s stats which it should he’s right in there….the only thing against him will be the muppets making the choices and saying…yeah but he’s in one of the bottom sides….we should give it to a Gawn or Grundy who are in higher teams.
If either of these two make it over big x it’s an absolute joke…Leigh might be a lone voice campaigning on this….but when you have Corns and he was on record for saying Sheez was not flashy enough…..that’s all l need to know about those in charge….looking at big names not stats….

It can be a bit like the Australian cricket team, hard to shift the incumbents.

Edit: without actual performances to show people up.

From Robbo’s likes:

6. TRISTAN XERRI

The 2017 national draft produced two aces down near the bottom of the pack. They just happen to be two ruckmen – Tristan Xerri (pick 72) and Lloyd Meek (pick 69) – who are now pushing Max Gawn for selection in the All Australian team. If you wanted further evidence that this is a wacky season, there it is, because no one would have predicted the helmeted big guy from North Melbourne could possibly unseat Gawn as the competition’s premier ruckman. Xerri and Richmond’s Toby Nankervis had a ripper duel on Saturday. In a battle of bustling giants, Nankervis had 15 hit out to advantage and 11 tackles, while Xerri had 11 hit outs to advantage and 10 tackles. Xerri’s ranking points in his past 10 matches are 144, 151, 109, 111, 119, 141, 111, 103, 119. His 10-week average is 124. His rise has been remarkable. Last year, he missed 12 games with injury. The year before he missed 10 games. The year before that he played just eight games and wanted a trade to St Kilda. Thankfully, the Kangaroos said no, and this year Xerri has played every game. It’s possible the Kangaroos could have three players in the All Australian team – Xerri, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Harry Sheezel – which is terrific for a team with just three wins.

Do we really have to dive back into the Hub Era threads to make sure we’re not rewriting history here?

It was a stink on here at the time

Actually don’t bother

The Feb 2020-October 2020 posts in Browns thread is a descent into hell

If you want further proof how shit the standard of AFL pundits and ex players are, listen to that interview.

Two of them had McInerney as the AA ruck. The notion of Xerri being in contention was a “bomb” ****ing idiots 😂

One thing that came out of our game on the weekend, is just how good a commentator Joey is.

He's made for the role, and the networks would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't give him more games.

The tennis balls were clever. Ours less so with “pizza delivery drivers”

I know a fair bit about what went on in the hub and it was a complete disaster. Some the clubs fault, some the players fault and some the AFLs fault
 
Anyone else listen to Gaz & Whisp on sen this week the morning after the Craig Kelly/Collingwood racism story broke? Gaz said there was a fair bit of feedback coming through via text that they weren’t saying much about it, Gaz said (paraphrasing) that after the Clarko/Hawthorn racism story broke a lot of people went really hard early before the facts were out and they now regret it.

If it’s true, it’s not clever, tennis balls have been used like that for decades.
