Re: Team of the "new" Century!

To the best of my knowledge we haven't seen a TOC since the end of 1999. I thought it would be interesting to look at one from 2000 onward. Criteria I have used: - Minimum 50 games - All Australian automatic inclusion I have excluded Burke & Loewe who played many more seasons prior to 2000 than...

Re: Umpiring

BTW Bontempelli is sucking the umpires off, while Jack Reiwoldt is telling it how it is Funny that WB are the most looked after team in the comp statistically and the tigers the most penalised ! That can't be correct! Aren't we the club the umpires are most biased toward? Isn't there conspiracy?

Re: Freo player on our radar

I must say I hadnt heard of him before now. https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/sam-sturt/ I just went looking for his WAFL stats, he has hardly played the entire time he has been there. When he did play he averaged 13 possessions and a goal a game. He was taken at pick #17 in the 2018 draft, I...

I think not. Watching them play Hawthorn, I detest them more than anyone else, even Carlton. In a word No Selwood Hawkins Dangerfield Cameron Myers Additional punchable heads: Tuohy Rohan You forgot the 3 sissy looking head band 200cm boys who need a good head punch. Blicavs Stanley De Koning

Re: Ins and outs v Giants

Jones has a history of soft tissue injuries so unless he is cherry ripe IMO not worth the risk . Who comes in or out will depend on who matches up better against the opposition . I'm not sure if we need to make too many changes unless it's to give they young blokes a bit of rotation to keep them fr...

Great comparison.

On Kayo Dermot talked of how he plays like a mini KPP with leading patterns and getting to drop of ball.

Joey chimed in with the Milne similarity.

Freo player on our radar

I believe we are right into a Freo forward who would play wing at St Kilda should he return home next season. Big talent but injury prone to date. Great left foot kick, very good over head and quick. Younger version of Mason Wood in size and style. Perhaps or perhaps not one of the ITK can confirm/ ...

Re: 2 goals against in the first minute

Two Hawk goals (both frees) in the first minute and two goals to Hawks (one from free) in last minute. Only six goals to 22 in the time in between. Incidentally I just watched the 15 minute mini package of the game on foxtel where they usually show all or most of the goals . They showed ALL of the ...

Twice!

WTF?

Then we smash them.

Is this a good omen?
Is it coincidence?
How has this happened?
Weird?

I was worried when it happened against Richmond and said to my son on Sunday this means we will smash them based on last week.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!

1 week seems fair with the new rules and I think that is where it will settle. Its doesn't seem to matter that there was no intent or deliberate action, Paddy merely blocked Day but once the player goes out with concussion they will now act. You really have to get in low if you are going to bump now...
