Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[ABAB]

In the olden days AFL footballers playing in the midfield were known as Rucks, Ruck-rovers, Rovers, Centremen and Wingmen.

I see the midfielders as the one attending the centre bounce and they are either inside or outside or can play both, wingmen are the one outside the centre square which was why those who mentioned Sloane should play on the wing and not be in our midfield setup anymore which he did quite well against Richmond before he did his ACL.

I've never thought Amon or Hunt as pure outside midfielders, they run up and down the wing between the 50m arcs.

Hawks named Amon at HBF prior to their last trial…’

Does it matter what positions is named on paper these day.....

True… just sayin’ Mitchell thinks he can be believed as something other than a pure winger whether that’s where he lines up or not..

wasn't he playing at half forward in the game that he did his acl?

I see your confusion, they meant they didn't want sloane playing on the inside.

Midfielders play along the centreline between the forwards and the defenders. Inside midfielders ( centre, ruckrover, rover) start inside the centre square, outside midfieldets ( also called wingman) start outside the centre square.

I'm sure I saw him line up outside the centre bounce, quite effective for him as he is quite quick in his first 20m.

I forgot that Amon left Port to go to Hawks. Hawks fans seem pretty happy with his preseason form too.

Karl Amon vs Bow n Arrow guy will be an interesting sideshow

Yet the draft have them as inside or outside midfielders or can play both inside or outside or wingman. So I've always seen inside midfielders as those who attend the center bounce and get contested possession like M.Crouch, outside midfielders as those who attend the center bounce and hang on the outside to receive possession like Kelly or Gaff, can play both inside and outside like Dangerfield and wingman as those who attend outside the center square and run along the 50m arc like Amon.

Which is why I said that, our Jones disposal and decision is quite solid until he does a very horrible brain fade which really stand out. Their Jones does this a lot more.

There’s very little in stats between Jones and Jones.

I didn't know stats differentiate between the level of clangers from the usual to total brain fade ones? You just need to watch both of them play closely I guess or ask the Port Power supporter their opinion of their Jones.

No. In a word.

The ones you see around the centre bounce contest are all inside mids. What you are describing as outside is called roving.

The role of the inside midfielders is to win the contested ball. The role of the wingman( outside midfielder) is to recieve the ball from the inside midfieldets and provide outside run. ( I think you described it as running up and down the wing between the 50m arcs) They all have an important role to play.

Differentiating doesn’t really matter if you can’t hit targets.

 

[ABAB]

Differentiating doesn’t really matter if you can’t hit targets.

It does in this context given my initially post mentioned "brain fade".

 

[50BC]

And to add to that I suppose, a balanced midfielder means somebody who can play either in an inside mid role or as a wingman/outside mid

Amon will flog him, Amon is one of the best outside mids in the comp

You are correct, the AFL did classified players like Gaff, Walsh, Amon and Langdon as the most effective wingman a few years ago but somehow I don't see Amon and Langdon as outside midfielders unlike Gaff and Walsh.

Ladbrokes banned me inside one week.

A few of them are all owned by the same company so as a result got banned from them as well.

It sucks that it is rigged just like the pokies.

Your being deliberately obtuse now, I shall ignore you from this moment on

? I just said you were correct, it was just an observation which I found interesting but probably just my lack of basic football knowledge.

Yeah, will have to follow the SANFL stats closely.

 

[GROTTO]

It sucks that it is rigged just like the pokies.

A condition of their license should be that they cant ban anyone, well it would be nice, lol.

Some dirty tactics they would do back in the day, is offer freebies and incentives in the form of gifts to losing punters, be it Club jumpers, footballs etc etc.

What is it with the AFL media and Port?

“Strong finish to 2022” was actually 2-5 with wins against bottom teams when they had a chance to make the 8.

Got banned from Bet365 so thats why I dont follow their odds anymore.

Thanks.

You win so much that you get banned?
