Prediction Changes v Sydney

[Taylor]

Nope. Would rather there's a rolling limit for first round f/s & academy selections. 1 every year tops. Maybe 2 over 3?

I prefer that. I don't want us getting shafted when our time comes for father son picks because people are upset that the Pies have Daicos and Dogs have Darcy.

... because both will still have those players after they change the rules and we just get denied.

I just think it's pure hope that we will gain advantage over other clubs through academy/father son. That will be a purely random outcome. Just as likely for Collingwood to get another bunch of Daicos' as it is for us to get some top 10 picks. And actually if we did have anyone on the radar in the next 2 years we would already all know about it.

What is known, is that we recruit better than most clubs. So a system that values that the most, while we still have Wallsy, would be best for us.

It's possible that clubs yet to get that advantage can access them until the ledger is squared up.

Every time the rules are changed it further increases the advantage of the club who already enjoyed them.

Three top ten father sons or five first round father sons for Freo, then same rules for all.

6000 to 9000 points over 8 years.

So if GC got 4 first round picks, then they would lose access to all players for the next 3 years.

Treacy honestly reminds me of Fraser Gehrig the G-Train the way he bull dozers opposition

That passage on Saturday where he steam rolled Collins and another player reminded me of the All Blacks, Jonah Lomu in his prime.Ran over players like they were card board cut outs.

Against GWS, Swans went on a 10 goal streak then held on to win.
Against Adelaide, Swans were losing before a 10 goal streak to win.
Against the Cats, Swans gave up the first 6 goals, went on a 5 goal streak, then another 4 in a row to win.
Against the Dogs, Swans only pulled ahead with a 4 goal run.

We just need to deny them a run of goals.

This makes me nervous about our first 10 - 15 minutes of the first quarter. Nail the start, so we’re not playing catch up will help this week.

 

[SiempreFreo]

Yarran, looked to be one of the most talented players we’ve ever had on our list. Such a sad ending.

Yes. In my memory he was building to new level before things nosedived.

looked unreal. Such a natural forward and had speed and agility.

Could easily have been an AFL HoF if things went better for him.

Remember that game where Dermot was commentating, and he goes wow this guy is 22 or something, where has he been?
And Papalia just goes.......Gaol
He was everywhere that game, just amazing goal sense

Will always have a special place in my heart for giving Pav his 700th in his last game.

Aish sub. Didn't back JL to have the bottle to do that, fair play.

Strong message to Aish to lift his game.

Nice, saw it coming. Agree that it's great to see that.

 

[freo_leo29]

Draper for Pearce
Walker for worner

Aish sub

Nailed it


forgot to put Brayshaw skipper tho

He was proper beastly ...but Treacy way more agile.
And still only 21!

Jonah Lomu was The Irresistable Force.
Burned in my memory.
Oppo players were routinely "skittled".

Here is some more data in the link below. We didn't get an "MCG dimension ground" with the new stadium. It is somewhere in the middle of all the main grounds and much closer to the SCG than the MCG in area.

From the SCG to Kardinia Park — do ground sizes contribute to the end result in AFL games?

From big to small and everything in between, the size of an AFL ground impacts the way the game is played and how teams win — right? Well, it's not that simple, writes Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson.

What I get from the numbers in that article and the first quarter v Syd is the the length is most important for fast scoring.

Interesting. Subi listed on wiki as 175 * 122 - 21350 m2 ... significantly larger than anything listed there.

 

[Footskill]

Don't think we need Warner lol jk . Maybe for the house and not the farm then

 

[Spirit Level]

No, it doesn't make sense, those extra 10 games games mean basically nothing. Seriously, Draper was terrible for Peel and is not getting back ahead of the guy thay pushed him out

Sorry had to

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Sorry had to

Haha, nothing I said was wrong, he was terrible but apparently he just doesn't like WAFL. What a game from the kid

 

[Firesharter]

I had a look at the line up and other than Draper and Davies, who are really just unknown quantities, it’s a strong side on paper. If we can get more from the forwards in Amiss, Jacko and Freddy, I think we’ll be right in it. Sturt is the mid-sized forward we’ve been crying out for and he’s in form. As is Treacy. I was lamenting the mids earlier, but Serong, Brayshaw and Young are good enough. Fyfe and Omeara will need to lift. Darcy and Jacko should be able to wear Grundy down. There’s still a lot of quality in the backs. Davies didn’t **** up the last game leaving Draper to just do a job. We’ll be right in it if we’re switched on and the smaller ground will suit our need for a team defence.

**** I’m good

 

[anchor man]

Shut down all their attacking players Warner,. Heeney, Gulden etc
Won the clearance battles all day . Darcy won hands down.
Stopped ther run from HB, until Blakey got into the game. The Curtain,Draper ,was sensational. Snubbed his nose at his detractors.
A great all round team effort.
An hour later, my heart still pounding.
Awesome win by the boys.

 

[E Shed]

What we need to do is make sure Warner, Gulden and Heeney don't get too much space. Sharp can definitely go with Gulden it would almost be worth sacrificing Sharp to scrag Gulden all day. Would be very interesting to see if Fyfe could go with Heeney and contest every ball. I still wouldn't want to be trying to beat Nat for the pill in close. Brayshaw would be interesting V Warner.

Since every analyst & their dog is making a point of saying what a genius move it was playing Fyfe on Heeney I just want to have one of those annoying I picked it moments.
I’ll show myself out . . .
