Bugger.
Just realised I’m going to be in Perth for the Grand Final

That’s it.
If we get there I’m changing my flight.
I was in WA in Dunsborough pub the year our mate Cripps and co won the GF and the WA in-laws were all in Bali
Boy were they p*ssed!

Loved seeing Hunter ironing out a Geelong player within a few minutes of coming on from his Head Injury Assessment.

There are some very interesting takes on Hunter from some on here, claiming he played poorly which is easily refuted by watching him, but they’re in the minority. One thing that is often overlooked is just how clean he is with his hands, and I’m not limiting this to his hand balling.

He has a unique ability to handle the ball with one hand to get kicks out when being tackled and, more importantly for our team, almost always gathers the ball extremely cleanly, even from a terribly executed handball. If you watch him gather/receive the ball, the time between contact of ball to hand and having it completely under control is near instantaneous and even for a one handed collect. I don’t think I’ve ever really seen anyone like him in that regard.

Couple that with his great kicking off either foot and composure in traffic, and I don’t see the hate for him. Yes, he needs to put in some more work off the field but he is by no means completely off the pace. This is from a 2020 article:


Top-five most distance covered in a game in 2020
Jack Sinclair, 13.5km v St Kilda, round 9
Hunter Clark, 13.2km v St Kilda, round 9
Jack Billings, 13.1km v Port Adelaide, round 8
Hunter Clark, 12.7km v West Coast, round 17
Hunter Clark, 12.7km v Gold Coast, round 10

Top-five most distance covered per game in 2020
Hunter Clark, 11.8km
Jack Billings, 11.8km
Bradley Hill, 11.5km
Jake Carlisle, 11.2km
Jarryn Geary, 11.2km


Put simply, you cannot cover more distance than others in the same amount of time unless you’re running (on average) faster than them. So unless you are seeing Hunter running aimlessly whilst the ball is dead and every other player is stationary, or he is capable of breaking space-time conventions, then he is running as fast, or faster, than every one of his team-mates across the course of a match. It is possible his endurance has waned since 2020, but track watchers noted he finished in the back half of the stronger running group during time trials so he hasn’t fallen off the face of the earth by any means.

My take is that he suffers from the same thing Nicky Dal did, which was an ostensibly slow running style and low intensity due to their body language, but the stats don’t match up. Meanwhile, the eye test easily refutes apparent issues with his kicking. Throw in his alleged trade request last year and he becomes an easy target for vitriol, subconsciously or otherwise.

Stop making sense. It’s not warranted in here.

And that's why I didn't give a s**t about the coming results. One choke was all it would take.

All that matters now is whether we get a home final and whether our supporters actually sell the place out.

Yep. I’m praying for a Melb final to take my boys - 12 and 10.

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

I'm going to give a heads up now, if we win a flag under Ross, which would be one of the best moments of my life, I don't want to come on here afterwards and get a bunch of "I told ya so" comments. Just let me enjoy the moment ffs

Imagine how much you'd win on the pokies that night

Anyone know how consistent that has been? I thought it was more circumstantial as to timing (favouring giving more time to the higher position on the ladder)?

Usually Friday night and Saturday afternoon are the qualifying final slots, with Thursday night and Saturday night the elimination finals

An apology should very handed to the Saints, fu kwits like King, Cornes and friends slam Saints all the time and now have egg on there face.

The game last night had such a tribal atmosphere to it.

Welcome to the cauldron when you play St Kilda from now on.

Was watching the game here in Ireland with my 7 year old. He turned around and asked me if there was an earthquake or huge storm happening at the ground.
I told him that it was the Saints crowd finding their voice...and then asked if he would like to go to a game the next time we're home.
"That would be the best thing in the world dad."

Won't lie, I felt a bit emotional.

Play like we did last night, and those guys will turn quickly.
We've been an easy hit for over a decade. These guys neural pathways are more degenerative than the common hominid. It will take time to heal and change.
As long as we keep doing what we're doing, they'll have to admit that they have a problem.
That's the first step. The rest however is most likely a serious medical issue.

Wouldn't work, internet's not great in Carnarvon. Would have to also move the dolls out of the way to make room.
