He drew you to want to watch him. If he wasnt batting yet you wanted someone to go out so he could come in and bat and when he was batting you just did not want to leave the tv as you just never knew what you were gonna get. A person who changed the way the cricket was played in the one day arena. RIP

AFL fixture 2020: Who won and who lost from the revised schedule?
Richmond got a major leg-up, while Hawthorn didn't have any luck. And how much help did the South Australian and Queensland teams have?
We had the easiest draw in the league according to the statistical model in the article

According to this guys model at least. Would be interesting to see if we still ended out on top if the same model with run but it was only considered a genuine away game if you DIDN'T play the game at home, and it was still considered a genuine home game regardless of your opposition.
For example:
Brisbane vs Gold Coast @ the Gabba (Brisbane Genuine Home, Gold Coast Genuine Away)
Richmond vs Brisbane @ Metricon (Richmond Neutral Game, Brisbane Genuine Away)
Richmond vs Carlton @ MCG (Richmond Genuine Home, Carlton Neutral Game)
Then factor in the amount of plane trips each team took throughout the year and finally actually weight the information from the above (2day break vs a team on less then 6 days) as a bigger weighting (as it had more of a genuine impact on the ability to win those games) and I think you will find we haven't had as big of a dream run as everyone makes out when you compared the same system to every other year.
But that would ya know, take into account the inherent advantage that teams get by never leaving their state, which is talked away "LOL NOT A HOME GAME IF THE OTHER TEAM IS FROM THE MCG TOO LOL" and "LOL MCG NOT A HOME GAME FOR VICTORIAN CLUBS CAUSE NEUTRAL CROWDS"
Fantastic fielder. When he first appeared, the Aussies fielded like pensioners. I used to enjoy just watching him field as it was such a contrast.
Leppitsch to depart at season's end
Justin Leppitsch has informed the Club he has decided to step away from his assistant coaching role.

Just me or does it look like they've photoshopped his head onto an out of proportion body? Looks like a booblehead toy, or a Gladstone Small impersonator.

Collingwood was one, but what was the second game where we had an extra two days break compared to our opponent?
EDIT: I think it might have been the GWS game, where they had a six day break and we had nine.
It seems a bit silly to count that, but not games where one team had four days and the other five.

The Richmond black/yellow jersey is easily the worst one in the comp - terrible color combo. The predominantly yellow one isn't too bad though.

Ended up 5th in the end. Was also given the club's player trademark award. Well done Ben!!
A great redemption outcome - really pleased for Ben, as I would imagine all at the Lions would be as well.
A massive congrats to Benny Keays for finishing 5th in the Crows B&F. I don’t know a single Lions supporter that wouldn’t wish him the best. Great to see his career is now back on track. Well deserved and a good reward for perseverance and hard work.

Taken as a rookie for Adelaide and missed selection in round one. But Ben played every game after that.
Given numerous tagging roles up to round 8, he then appeared to take the basic midfield role for the rest of the season.
Moving to a struggling team gave him a chance to show what he is capable of producing.
Turns 24 in February so his best years are ahead of him

Rumours are abound on the Suns board that Luko is about to request a trade to SA.
Sounds bad but as good as he is, he seems an incredibly selfish player for one so early in his career.

would probably net them a very high pick and a decent player but they can’t keep losing talented kids
You'd think he'd get a good pick but he could just walk to the draft couldn't he? I'm no expert on such matters mind you.
Jack Lukosius is one of the best users of the footy in the competition already at 20 years of age, would be worth a top 5 pick.

He re-signed until 2022 late last year. Would require something absurd to get him out.

Just a matter of time. Inevitable. Once Lukosius opens the door expect a few more to leave including Rankine.

Luk is going to be a star. I hope for the Suns sake he stays.

You wouldn't think the Crows would trade pick 1 but the Suns will be asking for it. Do they have any other first round picks. Of course they could trade their 2021 first rounder
GWS' first which is currently pick 8.
To pry Luko out of the Suns, one of the SA clubs would have to put in a godfather offer. This bloke is going to be an out and out star of the comp. A very early pick who imo has certainly lived up to expectations at this stage of his career. Elite user of the ball and reader of the play. If I was the Suns I’d ask for pick 1 at an absolute minimum or get stuffed.

Thought Luko was mates with Rozzee. Port might be a genuine chance here.
