Dusty didn't get Norm Smiths for lacking explosiveness. He was right up there in the middle of his career.
Don’t agree with that. Dusty had exceptional skills but explosiveness was never one of them.

Blitz goes backYeah agree. SDK great match up for Darcy (and not many are)
I can give you the all clear right now. No case to answer.When can we expect a decision on Stewart’s bump on Kreuger? I thought we’d know this arvo. For the record, there is no way he should miss a week for that but then again, neither should have Heeny! It’s a bloody lottery!
They will have other players to worry about, if they lock down Humphries that lets someone else get loose. That would be like if Bruhn comes back and teams decide to lock him down in midfield and let Stewart and Danger do what they want.It'll be interesting to see how teams plan against Humphries going forward.
I can't imagine they'll let him run riot after seeing what he's done the last few weeks
Or amphibious?Only a matter of time before BT or Richo start calling him “ambiguous “![]()
So you would make it like the rule in soccer?Can’t agree at all. The rule is hot garbage. The worst aspect of AFL rules by a large margin. Easy to fix too.
It doesn’t have to go as far as soccer or rugby. You could do a lot of good just by giving the option to the umpire to not blow the whistle, to instead just signal, and to see how the play unfolds for a small while. There’s zero in the way of doing that right now.So you would make it like the rule in soccer?
Personally I prefer that rule too. But the AFL made their call on it years ago and I don't think it was the worst decision.
The two sports have some aspects that make them distinct wrt advantage. In soccer you either score or you don't. But in aussie rules, would scoring a behind be considered an advantage when you're 1 point down in the dying seconds, or would you rather have the kick back for the chance at a goal with the potential also for no score?
You can't leave that sort of decision about 'advantage' entirely up to the umpire. I can see the sense in just saying that if there is a choice by any player on the side who received the free-kick to continue the play once the whistle is blown then the umpire can call play on advantage and its simply play on.
Yep, the haters got to relax a bit. He is going to be very good.Just watched the replay. Clark a lot more involved that I realised last night.
Did it last week so may as well do it again for this round.Just watched the replay. Clark a lot more involved that I realised last night.

Dockers and Blues losing helping us. See how demons go tonight.
I'm a Jhye Clark supporter. I expect him to be a valuable player of us over many years. Just didn't realise he did so much, particularly with the game time.Did it last week so may as well do it again for this round.
Jhye Clark, pick 8 2022 draft: 16 disposals from 55% game time.
Cam Mackenzie, pick 5 2022 draft: 9 disposals from 59% game time.
The fact we've been able to pump as many games into him as we have despite sitting top 4 at this point of the year is worthy of kudos.
Out of the "holy trinity" (Danger, Dusty and Fyfe), Danger, by far, most closely resembles his former glory when he's on. Fyfe and Dusty haven't played a blinder for a quite some time.Dangerfield with 10 inside 50s. The next best player on the ground had 6.
He's still a machine.
Compare that with Dusty and even Pendles right now. They have lost their hurt factor. Dangerfield is still our main driver. Losing him will hurt.
Yeah agree. SDK great match up for Darcy (and not many are)
Few people are knocking Clark per se. I just reckon he's a few kg light. If we were picking a Grand Final team tonight with the currently fit squad I'd have Parfitt and Shark ahead of him. But I don't begrudge him the games he's getting now because they're an investment that will pay off big time in 2025.
True but need to remember he’s a mature age young player so may not fit the typical young player cycleAs much as i want Humphries locked into the best 22 from now on he is 3 games in and we all know young players can be up and down and have patches of bad form.
I'm right here, i tipped the Cats to win and applaud the inclusion of newbies Humphries and Mannagh, SDK in the ruck and a new lease of life has been injected into the team. Things had to change and they have, you can't just sit back and accept defeat, you have to do something constructive to help turn it around. Nobody is happier than i am that they have done just that. No prizes for 2nd best.Anyone seen JackFlash?
I'd just swap sub. Rohan for Henry.We see any changes for next week? Assume Neale will get up for the game.
