We chose Weddle over Ed. Feel like we made a very good choice.

Glad Ed has had a breakout game though - he was having a bit of an average season earlier this year in the reserves.

more for the romance i mean, but we couldn't have got him under father-son anyway. We'll see what kind of player he turns out to be, but i can guarantee he's no Weddle

 

[KermitJagger]

He is very Sicily like for mine, commands the backline. Maybe that has increased from previous years with Young now playing as a mid.

Nowhere near Sicily's level. Miles worse defensively, fewer intercepts, half the contested marks (even with Sicily playing one arm down essentially), fewer score involvements. Sic is having a down year and is still ahead of Ryan in every way that matters.

Ed Allan just kicked his first goal. Would've been cool having him play alongside Calsher – son of 1991 Norm Smith alongside son of 1991 B&F winner.

60 minutes into the quarter. I wonder what the latest into a quarter a player has kicked their first career goal.

Every year, without fail, Brad Johnson has the worst media pundit AA side.

FB: Lachie Whitfield (GWS) / Harris Andrews (BRI) / Luke Ryan (FRE)
HB: Dayne Zorko (BRI) / Jeremy McGovern (WCE) / Nick Blakey (SYD)
C: Errol Gulden (SYD) / Patrick Cripps (CAR) / Zach Merrett (ESS)
HF: Dylan Moore (HAW) / Jeremy Cameron (GEE) / Chad Warner (SYD)
FF: Charlie Curnow (CAR) / Jesse Hogan (GWS) / Tyson Stengle (GEE)
FOL: Tristan Xerri (NM) / Nick Daicos (COL) / Marcus Bontempelli (WB)
I/C: Isaac Heeney (SYD) / Lachie Neale (BRI) / Caleb Serong (FRE) / Adam Treloar (WB)

Zorko ahead of Dale, Holmes, Sinclair or Houston.

Luke Ryan similarly confusing, picking a defensively poor accumulator as a third tall. The fact that he's taken the most marks all season despite taking only .4 contested marks and 1.8 intercept marks a game speaks to how little he impacts a game.

Whitfield has had a good patch of footy but has been underwhelming most of the season, so to include him in the first place and in the back pocket???? For another year the only time Zach Merrett is selected as an outside mid is in the AA side. Four inside mids on the bench too.

There isn't much of a brain left behind that vacant smile, I fear.

Looks like he just picked a Supercoach 'best of side'.

Really hoping for the biggest upset of the season, where the Eagles knock Geelong out of top 4.

You don’t rate him, we get it. He was in the All Australian squad last year and good chance to make the team this year. Looks like the football experts / team selectors have collectively got it wrong

 

[QuietB]

Melbourne's i50's are atrocious.
They will never kick a winning score.

Melbourne are stuck on the same train Carlton are on. They think building a contested brand of footy will stand up in finals and that alone will be enough.

Every team that makes finals plays contested footy. You need more than just that.

Goodwin and Voss desperately need some elite strategy help around them.

Not even if they started now.

AA selectors get it wrong all the time. Look at Sicily 2 years ago. Biggest rort there ever was.

Would love a miracle win by the bomberss tonight

 

[Cleavy]

Can we relegate West Coast back to the WAFL?

 

[Billyc]

Geelong winning big. If Giants and Port both lose, Cats looking at a home final at the cattery against one of them

 

[Mercy Seat]

On the road, what’s the score in the cats game? Hopefully WC touching them up and we can sneak into top 4!

Don't look it's not good

Yeh, that's not going to plan

 

[Bedi]

AFL record for highest win on the cards

The odds of this are… very slim

 

[Bugs1977]

AFL record for highest win on the cards

190pts is the record yeah?

 

[Bedi]

190pts is the record yeah?

think so

 

[Hawk Vision]

Has an AFL club ever been up by 100 points at half time?

 

[HedgeFund]

190pts is the record yeah?

Yep - Fitzroy 238 dftd Melbourne 48 in 1979

 

[HedgeFund]

Has an AFL club ever been up by 100 points at half time?

8th time in history apparently

 

[Hawk Vision]

8th time in history apparently

Wow that’s more than I thought, west coast leak goals without Barras

 

[brew]

What happened to Tom Stewart?

 

[Badesumofu]

Norf now 18th on the live ladder LMAO
