Round 12 Discussion (Keg on legs Edition)

[Andrew Birch]

That depends on the players maturity, but also how deep a team's midfield bats

Ablett today ....83%
Cotchin ...........75%
Wines .............65%
Rockcliff ..........73%
Cunnington ......74%

So a young player like Taranto, with a small # of pre-seasons ....70% is about right

Those %'s are abnormally low for this round and much lower than their season & career average TOG's but you would know that.

70% is first season low.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

didnt know Taranto was one of the best mids in the comp

guy is still 20 years old, so his tank isnt as good as the others, so the 70% TOG is pretty good for him IMO

 

[Double the Fist]

Ive said it once Ive said it a dozen times this year, wind GCS up, **** it off and go to Tassie!

Actually i study more the Crows ......a lot of our midfielders ave around that 70%

 

[Andrew Birch]

He's not ...but no player is !

But Lynch in a good side will be much much better ......but in today's footy IMHO the midfielder is much more valuable than the KPP

I hear this all the time, but there are no facts that support it. He is much more likely to kick more goals in a struggling team as they would go to him 25-35% of the time where as better teams have multiple forward options to choose from. It's not like the old days where everyone just bombs it to the KP forward. He would be lucky to kick 40-50 in a top 4 team.

For a Mid, that TOG % is normal

No it's not.

He's the lowest on his team other than the two that went off injured.

He usually averages mid to low 80's

So 70% is not good.

I don't disagree with that view .....what's a good goal tally these days .....60'S ?

Hardly worth $1.5M ..............I'd put his salary at the same as WC's Kennedy ...& that would be no-where near even a $1M

But that's where my view is that the AFL clubs are not as professional as they believe ....they spend beyond their means & like monopoly $$$

hmm, what happened with his 74% and 78% on there? different role maybe?

No it's not.

He's the lowest on his team other than the two that went off injured.

But he's had less PS, to build his tank .........

 

[Daniel McL]

It wasn’t me but that is fantastic

 

[Andrew Birch]

I'm convinced that Stuart Dew is a tanking troll. Why the hell would he leave his best inside mid (Lyons) in the two's for weeks on end and play 3/4 of these spuds ahead of him?

So that Will Brodie gets a game. The Suns have already had the bye so Brodie could be a good rookie to bring in.

 

[Daniel McL]

Did anyone check on NSWCROW with Jezza around 100 at half time?

 

[zoomba23]

**** me Gold Coast are shit. This is incredible.

 

[Didstar]

Ehhh. Going to take Danger C. Can see Gawn going sub 100. Both Gawn and Grundy scored poorly rd 23

 

[NSWCROW]

Me now

 

[rocker_oz33]

Me now

You and Jezza and HTYW and Hurn should double date .

 

[Wellsy35]

Suns players all have the empty petrol gauges on FF atm. Looks about right.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Poor Stewy. Tough gig.

 

[NSWCROW]

[ivabiggin]

suns as bad as fitzroy in there last year

 

[qarocks]

Ive said it once Ive said it a dozen times this year, wind GCS up, **** it off and go to Tassie!

I would love to see a team in Tas too, but moving them there isn’t going to magically make them a good team. They need incredible work, Melbourne style, to recover, regardless of home base.

 

[DT_35]

You are shit Taranto

 

[vast]

Wow taranto. At this point im keeping fritcsh over u. Absolutely pathetic.
