JLT Series Discussion Thread

[jjsmitty8]

My appoligies, didn't realize you were in Antartica.

That's okay. I didn't expect you to know

 

[jjsmitty8]

So as some of you may or may not know, I've been tracking SC scores and TOG% in an excel spreadsheet. I don't really mind if my posts gain much traction, but I'll continue to post screenshots of it as the JLT progresses to a) create discussion and b) get some different points of view. So GWS and Sydney are the last two cabs off the rank, how do supporters of these clubs, or anyone for that matter, feel that the following players (in particular Robbie Fox, Lewis Melican, Tim Taranto and Jake Lloyd) will fare when the real stuff starts? Fox at 102k is starting to appeal to me, but not sure where he sits in the grand scheme of Sydney's plans. I also didn't realise Melican was playing his second pre-season game, so does his name start coming into round 1 contention? Throw Oliver Florent in the same boat, what are we thinking? GWS supporters, Taranto? You've got an absolute gold mine to choose from, but how are his prospects looking?

*Note - This is not all of the Sydney and GWS I'm documenting, just selected this handful for this post*

afl.com.au > select match > full time stats > advanced stats. For future reference

Zak Jones - 85%
Sam Reid - 79%

What do you think about the likes of Fox, Florent, Melican etc as mentioned above?

Thanks mate, well that disapoints me about Jones' tog. I only saw the last qtr and a half and didnt see much of the 3 players you mentioned. I like the look of Florent how ever at this stage i doubt he'll be playing round 1 as hes still quite small and i think a few months in the neafl playing against men will do him the world of good and get him ready for the seniors, will definitley play a handful of games this year if not more, it would only take 1 or 2 injuries to a mid/forward and he'd be in the team imo.

From what ive seen of Fox so far he looks like he could be a very decent pick up, and being 23 and a bigger body (11 kgs heavier) than florent and a similar type role as far as i can tell it wouldnt suprise me if Fox debuted before Florent. Last but not least Melican, dont know much about him tbh, doubt he'll play this year barring 2 of Grundy, Allir, Marsh, Talia getting injured.

Josh Kelly, welcome to my side.

Another really strong game from Taranto. Hard to pick at $207k, but he's getting closer to a game in Round 1.

I'd say he's a monty to play rd 1 with Deledio gone again.

Poor old Quentin Tarantino copping the Mummy Pinball Special.

Teammate, opponent, mild-mannered octagenarians not looking where they're going when walking along the footpath, they're all the same to Mummy.

I like this picture very much.

 

[DaTBird187]

Lloyd had the highest % of game time of any player on the ground (92%) for 92 #SuperCoach pts. Melican the surprise packet with 87.

Who knew in this crazy world of ours, we'd be provided with a player who's name rhymes with Pelican.

His uncle works for me.

And his initials are..

P.Melican

He is known as Pelican

My phone keeps autocorrecting Lewis Melican to either Lewis Mexican or Lewis American.

President Donald will be impressed to know that Americans and Mexicans are one in the same as far as auto correct are concerned

Great work mate.

Its people like you who take time to collate stats that make life easy for lazy buggers like me.

Could you maybe create a thread specifically to throw all the spreadsheets in so we can use them as a ready reckoner rather than going back thru the whole thread?

Once again, thanks for the efforts mate.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Ok.. so I'll translate what I can..

Went to the pub, dropped $200 on the #1 Greyhound at Mandy got checked.. I cracked it.

Got wiped out of the first leg at of the quaddy at some random harness by a 10-1 pop.

Drank more, ate Asian food. Waited an hour for a train a box hill.
Was approached by old lady. offered a wristy ..for $60

Some random stuff in the middle I don't remember... then sat next to fat people on the train... I guess.. don't really remember, then waited at Caulfield for another train while singing Bohemian rhapsody to nobody...

Yep. Exactly what I thought you said

Gents, the Korcheck era begins today.

 

[Wesley2]

Is that a self-cut mullet?

 

[Gribnoor]

Murphy not playing today? I must have missed this - any particularly reason?

 

[Gribnoor]

Is that a self-cut mullet?

I love him as a player, but it is a crime against humanity - yes.

 

[Chism]

Liam Jones...............LOCK!

Hahahaha

 

[TheOz]

Macreadie looks a decent player.

Macreadie looks a decent player.

Is Crippler out there mate and hows he looking?

He is, a few handballs and tackles, taking it easy.

 

[Gribnoor]

He is, 1st quarter done - he has being abnormally quiet, just 4 touches - but also 3 tackles, so trying to get involved around stoppages. Looks like he is coming off an injury. I'm trying to keep an eye on him.
