Cam 'Sideways and Backwards' Guthrie

[NetworkNerd]

Concerning stat from the weekend...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-08-27/guthries-unlikely-benchmark

"With his 33 disposals, Guthrie gained just 24 metres to unwittingly set a new mark for the fewest metres gained by a player registering 30 or more disposals in a game."

So basically one of Geelongs 'quality' youth is a glorified handball 1-2 back pocket seagull who averaged 73cm gain per disposal. Of course the Geelong flogs will claim that this further reinforces the 'cue in the rack claim' but it is a concern nonetheless.

Cool story Brah

 

[Fritzl]

Do all of Shoenclangers out on the full's count as meters gained? If so he would arguably be in the negative.

Otherwise solid thread brah .

What's wrong with a bit of sideways and back action?

 

[Shawt]

That article actually goes on to glowingly paint him as almost a footballer.

Far more respect than he deserves

73cm per possie.
This bloke's a future Bay 13 hall of famer.

Concerning youth is concerning

 

[Brain Power]

When you consider that Guthrie is probably the least shit of all Geelong's under 23 players, yet even he can't have any impact on games, it makes you wonder how they're going to be able to win at all when Bartel, Kelly and Enright retire and names like Bews, Hartman and Kersten are regulars in the team.

Several long years in the wilderness coming up for Geelong.

Would be interesting to see how many positive metres were gained by Hawf backmen in the 08 GF, seeing they backed through the Goal like cowardly bitches all day.

Thats nice for you.
Typical isnt it, a Hawf supporter bagging out a Geelong player. What a Flog.

 

[royals1922]

Would be a long list of players last week who got more than 33 metres gained. I suspect even watts got more

I have been stating all year the concerning situation that is Geelongs youth. Even St Kilda had more young talent then the cats prior to their fall

Plenty loser.
Good to see the 08 envy still keeps surfacing. You've won 2 flags since nutjob

Probably gained a fair chunk on those kick-outs.

He distributed the ball to our runners amazingly, hence why he broke the record for all time meters gained assists.

The article is poorly worded, he actually just had the most meters assisted for the week, not on record

meters

You do spend a lot of time in The US of A

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Bartel won a brownlow based on ineffective chipball stats.

They love that down at Gee110ng.

Actually I do spend around a month a year there, but my poor education is more to do with being born a Collingwood supporter to be honest

Imagine if gee110ng turned it around come finals, they are chipping it around but still on equal wins with Hawthorn
