Training Pre Season ‘25

[Yo Yo Ma!!!]

Prepared to give Short another chance but if I ever see him squib the contest, make under12's level decisions or blast our captain again, it's over.

Our kids don't need to be exposed to that rubbish.

This sentiment exactly, if short commits to some harder edge footy, I will overlook the disgrace that was his pea heart 2024 season

You’ve proved my point. What ****ing value does an 0.9 tackle count mean

It’s the most worthless measure in the history of the planet

It means the average per game is less than 1? I don't understand your frustrations. It's an average.......they don't have to be whole numbers.

 

[tora tora tora]

simple if you did 4 unit maths

 

[Groupie_]

Gotta hate when those pesky facts get in the way huh? BTW Mansell also averaged more goals per game to go with his 'off the charts' defensive stuff too. In fact he's got him covered in most metrics including, goals, disposals, i50s, marks, goal assists, disposal efficiency etc etc

TF you mean? Total tackles divided by games?

love when campaigners use stats to try and justify their favourite spuds. oppos were doing it to compare to dusty

he is a vfl player get over it


mrj's ceiling is massive

I know they don’t have to be whole numbers I’m saying it’s a useless statistic

The toughest guy in here but who also is in touch with his feminine side and drinks shandys. he also has a big block button on his keyboard.

Word on the street is the keys on the keyboard are padded so as to not hurt his fingers.

How is it living in Mums basement still at 50yold

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Must be a bitch

or according to the Victoria Secret model group chat a massive stud.

 

[sabso]

Thats real funny coming from a front bottom who still lives in his Mums basement

Calling someone a front bottom is such a primary school insult it's hilarious

 

[Tortured Tiger]

Look at his posting, ego maniac, hard to support the club when he is so happy with himself. Lord of the Wings, more like King of the Cheap Shots !

 

[Tiger1974]

Imagine David Trotter and Freeman had exactly the same situation and never got on the park at AFL level

Its a comedy show

Not even close to my favorite, just exposing your subjective bias

I know they don’t have to be whole numbers I’m saying it’s a useless statistic

Averages are quite useful when talking footy stats I would've thought.

Never said that. As above, just providing some imprtant context

I can’t concur with you on MRJ. I just don’t see the upside that others do. He has very average to poor stats and sadly his worst trait is the appalling kicking. He can not kick over a jam tin. His only strength is pressure on oppo ball carrier. However, he will get his chance and hopefully prove me wrong.

Think people focus too much on his negatives. His pressure up forward is elite, one of the best in the comp. Even if he wasn’t to improve as much as we hope, he probably still gets a game because of the pressure. In a great side, he is like liquid gold, but does get exposed more in a poor side where you look at the stat sheet and it looks like he did absolutely nothing all day.

Goals, disposals are just the added bonuses to his role and what keeps him from being in the top echelon of small forwards.

Obviously hopefully he improves, but if an Alger can becoming a goal kicking small and provide 30+ goals a season, it would make for an exciting small forward pair.

Can we close for Christmas yet
