Whenever I start missing Adams, I remember his shanks & likelihood to be injured.
It helps.
It actually does help but sometimes you take the shanks for the greater good.

You had to go and say something sensible didn't youGWS & Carlton were both 4-8 last season and made prelims. plenty of time left yet.
We've got a few new additions to the shankers club.It actually does help but sometimes you take the shanks for the greater good.
nah, I just watch the game believe what my eyes seeMaybe if we were better in centre and stoppage clearances, his stats wouldn't matter?
However I still can't find any stats that his rebound clangers are as high as you seem to think.
Do you have any stats?
Are there any answers to the questions? Or is it a Collingwood - Essendon version of 'Blowing in the Wind'?Thanks for the effort you put in posting this. Much appreciated.
overall a better than Ginni replacement, workrate defensively kills Ginni defensive output , still worth the trade
Yep. Beating Carlton will help. After that four winnable games. Even if we lose tk Carlton but beat eagles crows dockers and dogs we can be 7.5-4.5. Almost as good as 8-4.GWS & Carlton were both 4-8 last season and made prelims. plenty of time left yet.
I remember the days when the big shanks were maybe $1 for 2, and you'd buy them for the kelpie to create a decent slab of down time, clattering its teeth over and around the bone for the last 15 mins of the performance. The smell of burning leaves from the neighbour's incinerator and the sound of tennis balls thwacked into the rubbish bin wicket in the middle of the street. Those were days to be remembered.It actually does help but sometimes you take the shanks for the greater good.
And the shout of “ car” when you and wickets had to scamper off the road to let the traffic throughI remember the days when the big shanks were maybe $1 for 2, and you'd buy them for the kelpie to create a decent slab of down time, clattering its teeth over and around the bone for the last 15 mins of the performance.

Our clearance/stoppage game is a real weakness in the team. Essendon won centre clearances 19-8, so it's a real deficiency we've had for a long time. Most of our scores are generated off turnovers, especially in the front half this year which is in contrast to last year where a lot of our scores were coming from the back half and we were able to smoothly transition through the corridor. As long as the stoppage game remains a weakness, we'll unfortunately have tight tussles like we did today.
Bytel has also been good.VFl has no ruck we are playing guy (Begg) almost same size as Cripps as primary ruck, and have maybe 2 reasonable mids in McCrae and Sullivan, rest are very ordinary, look at how many mid prospects we have delisted in past 3 years , we havent hit gold with any of our 2nd or 3rd rounders that i can recall - better to trade for some and quickly.
Shifting Martin in the last quarter was a great coaching move.Agree. Bombers have some very good players, are well coached & played extremely well yesterday.
Stringer in the midfield was pretty handy too. 6 centre clearances.Shifting Martin in the last quarter was a great coaching move.
Waite? Ex blues and kangaroos player.oops I was thinking of his September injury .. well good thing is he is ahead of schedule according to Waite
I like that omen much better than the 1995 drawn Anzac Day match & 1995 Carlton premiership.2020

We were outplayed basically. You won't win many games when stats like this
I remember it well. After a hard day of street cricket you would sleep like a baby until 5am, that's when you could start hearing the magical sound of clip clops from the milkman and his horse.I remember the days when the big shanks were maybe $1 for 2, and you'd buy them for the kelpie to create a decent slab of down time, clattering its teeth over and around the bone for the last 15 mins of the performance.

We scored off turnover and pressure, but we could barely get on our hands on the footyIt was all stoppage - we had them covered everywhere else. But they gave us a bath around the footy.
Yes, this was disappointing to watch, Jordy had to be better when matched up on him to allow Naicos a way of passage to win more centre clearances.Stringer bursting out of the middle multiple times made me feel sick. Had 4 shots on goal too.
Hopefully it was just that the oldies couldn't handle a 5 day break.We scored off turnover and pressure, but we could barely get on our hands on the footy
Giving them a 6 goal headstart doesn't help either.
But clearances We've got to do better.
He's pretty awesome.Stringer bursting out of the middle multiple times made me feel sick. Had 4 shots on goal too.
