I'm genuinely floored how good Gus has been as a HBF. He's better than Salem IMO the way he's playing. So safe and having a mid sized bloke who can mark behind the ball is a huge weapon.

He's been a revelation, could argue he's top 3 in the B&F

Probably 2nd behind Clarry atm (maybe leading? Defenders tend to poll well in club B&Fs). Has been brilliant, leads the league in intercept marks I think. His kicking has generally been solid too, looking very good in that role

 

[mrmonkey]

Brayshaw probably been most consistent, maybe Oliver as well.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Oliver is having a better year than he did last year, hard to see him not leading.

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Rewatching Petracca's highlights it stands out how he was back to using his strength a lot more. Shook off crows players like nothing and much better tackling than we're used to from him.

Could easily have kicked 5 or 6

Could easily have kicked 5 or 6

could easily have kicked 1.5 (even ill give Trac enough credit to say he kicks his first goal 100% of the time)

He’s played in 26 games where he’s kicked 1 or more behinds without kicking a goal

and those stats are even skewed in his favour as they dont count the OOB's or OOBOTF's where he misses the lot.

Not sure about viney, his effort might be consistent but I don't think he's been in the best each week.

Jacko out there training, him and Max having a fitness test on Wednesday

Unbelievable season.

I'm surprised, too - I didn't want to move him from the wing, and didn't think half back would work at all.

 

[Scythe94]

Interesting that May polled seven votes after it looked like Walker was getting a hold of him for a bit on the weekend.


Oliver on track to win in a canter. Trac third, despite all of our whinging

May's intercept work was delightful and shut down Tex in the 2nd half.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Weird, I dont believe May was even in our top 2 defenders on the weekend, let alone the top 3 players on the ground.

Petty, Lever > May.

btw, so nice to know when May is done we have someone who can step straight in to the #1 defender role.

 

[netslave]

I realise I've been too harsh on Trac recently. He's been piling up possessions but his goalkicking had taken my focus away from just how well he's been playing. If he continues with his decent finishing, he'll be moving up all the leaderboards surely.

I'm think I said this another thread and I'm sure I was the first - it would be a massive loss, much bigger than Jackson, if Brayshaw left at the end of the year.

 

[Proper Gander]

Tough run. Will we make the 8?

Norfolk and Chance

 

[El Gringo]

The run home
R17: Geelong @ GMHBA Stadium
R18: Port Adelaide @ TIO Traeger Park
R19: Western Bulldogs @ Marvel Stadium
R20: Fremantle @ Optus Stadium
R21: Collingwood @ MCG
R22: Carlton @ MCG
R23: Brisbane @ Gabba

Pies and Blues at the G our last 2 home games out of our final 8 games of the season, who the hell drew this up?

Literally a revelation.

It’s funny because I recall how exited I was by Marty Hore in the same position. To be fair, he was good in a year where we finished second last. He was definitely a high point and I’m sad his injuries got the better of him.

But Angus has been amazing in the role. He has got the lot. Insanely tough going back with the flight to win the ball. Great judgement for the intercept. And he seems to be kicking smart, and generally within his limitations which used to be a bit of a flaw with him.
