Not to be forgotten, Eric “Badlands” Booker is now two from two at the lemonade chugging contest and in the process set a new world record.

Just had a thought...does anyone shepherd in the AFL anymore?

Honestly this has been bugging me about the game for a few years now. Feels like it'd be way easier to create space with a good shepherd than chipping the ball around the way they do. Even when teams are trying to make space for a hard runner through the front of the contest it's more common to try and lead an opponent out of the space instead, which seems odd to me. I can only assume there's some kind of analytic reason for it, since it seems to be league wide.

Saw your man Baker, do it last night.
FYI if he was Supercoach relevant he would be first picked every year, love the way he plays! :p

Baker is definitely my man. I adore him. 😍
I call him 'the janitor' because he seems to mop up everything for us.
