It doesn't help the club. You know who will get stuff done over this? Other clubs who are affected by it. Grow a pair Nicks.

No he wouldn't have. They are hamstrung. Get a suspension from coaching or a massive fine depending on how had they go.

Yep Gil.
Laird’s shoulder is hanging by a thread, will be straight into surgery in a fortnight. Considering he’s carrying that on top of a prior rib injury some of the crap he’s copped since the bye has been a little uncalled for given those issues, sure you can argue if he wasn’t being a little selfish/if the club didn’t have the short term vision blinkers on he wouldn’t/shouldn’t have been playing but every club does it with their quality senior players.
Just on the Crouch/Laird dynamic no question Laird has had to accommodate Crouch and sacrificed a lot of his usual strengths such as clearances and first distribution possessions that Crouch has taken over and stuffed his own stat sheet with.

The fruitless chase towards the Coleman medal hurt us as a team. We became far too Tex focussed, and also missed opportunities to manage him.
and yet averages 10% more TOG than Sloane. We seem happy to add pressure to other mid/fwds to cover Sloane's clear deficiencies, but not a kid developing his tank and how to best use it at the level.

Fog and Thilthorpe need to lift their game and give him some support. McAdam has supported him recently. When Thilthorpe lined up for goal I knew he would miss. The Fogarty miss was even worse. The Rachele miss, it barely scored a point.

'It would have been overturned': AFL boss says umpire got it wrong in crucial 'behind' call in Crows game
AFL boss Gillon McLachlan says last night's controversial 'behind' call in Adelaide's loss to Sydney would have been overturned if it had been reviewed, in what he called a "human mistake".

Obviously personal preference, trial and error for what you felt worked, I know some just like with the gloves hated the grippo’s effect on their ball drop (I tried gloves too but were way too sweaty) and some didn’t like it during wet games but for someone like myself with the garbage crap I played and starting late in my teens and had poor kicking habits from when I was a kid so I liked having a low ball drop with lots of control and unfortunately my hands naturally never provided the grip on the ball I preferred.
Interesting bringing it back to Ben Keays he was also a late-ish starter and played a lot of soccer growing up so while some of those ball skills do translate well over to Australian Rules some others do lead to some things not being natural to you and you can see that get exaggerated/take effect more prevalently in more slippery conditions with him.

outside of deliberate cheating, there's really nothing more to it. I don't personally like the game stopping to review points because it impacts the fast play advantage that teams are meant to get. The only solution to avoid human error/deliberate cheating is to review all points. Which will either stop the fast play or have the play called back after 30 seconds or so of play has occurred. I'd be happy with that, not sure I'd be in the majority though. And where does it stop? Why aren't we reviewing every decision so we eliminate all umpire errors that the footage can correct?
and yet he averages 75% TOG. You saying he's been mismanaged by the coaches?
no there's not.
can you explain what you think the Sloane and crouch strategy that failed was? Beat their mids with experience points?
do you ever watch what opposition mids are doing?

He does. Looked really meek last night
Putting down to zero confidence last few weeks - after kicking 17-3 has missed his last 6 set shots
Possibly just drained after a very long year

nearly missed a couple with a calf about a dozen rounds in, reckon that's been limiting him ever since.
edit - talking Laird, quoted wrong post.

So who was the goal umpire? They are usually fairly unknown but on this occasion given that it was clearly a mistake (not even a 'close' mistake) and he didn't call for a review when blind freddy could see the decsion should have been reviewed and the Swans called back to the goal square, I'd like to ensure he's not a closet Swans supporter/member. His suspension is not only correct but should be extended into next season. A one game suspenion is not enough.

They should at the very minimum award the crows the 4 points. They have don't it once before. How flat was Longmire. He knew they lost.
Crows supporter
Even worse.

A good and bad was how good, tough and explosiveness Pedlar looked when he came on. The bad is Nicks playing Sloane, Murphy and Keays ahead of him.
