Discussion 2021 Round 2: Teams & In Game Discussion

Sharp definitely going to be a floating 🍩

He didn't miss the goals or mess the umpiring. He did ok for a kid and I'd give him another go.

 

[Shifty1]

Look, only Chris Scott and the most one eyed Geelong fans would agree with you there. Even Gerard Whately's outraged!

Am happy to hear thoughts from non geelong or brisvegas fans, lol!
But Gerard Who?

 

[Shifty1]

Googled Gerard, not saying too much, coz we're all mates here, but don't rate him that much personally,.

Melbourne fan (obviously)
My 2 cents worth.
Brisbane lost, and having watched the game, they seemingly look ridiculously unlucky to have lost, mainly due to some poor umpiring.
While both sides had some really bad decisions paid against them, if Brisbane had won, I wouldn't have been thinking Geelong were unlucky to lose that game.

Whats with carlton kicking goals when ball is out of the boundry .

In real time (no replays) that was super difficult to see. From memory the ball moved down there pretty fast as well (umpire not well positioned). It's a missed call, but not on the scale of the farical BS tonight.

Not sure if there have been any posts but has anyone attributed any form of Neale’s decline to losing S Martin and getting O Mac (who is clearly not the best ruck)?

Stef didn't play much last year.

 

[Baglimit]

Which of Neale and Cripps would you trade out if only one had to go?

Neale

 

[Beijing_Sting]

Neale

I disagree - although I will be strongly thinking of removing him.

Neale loses more initially, but Cripps a continuous disaster rather than a glitch.

Having said this, I will 明天 reflect once soberer

 

[couchPOTATO]

Not-withstanding criticism of the holding the ball call/non call monopolising the discussion straight after Isaac Smith takes possession and dives 2 metres Rugby League/Union style towards the goal line with the sole intention of rushing a behind, surely that should have been paid as deliberate?

Funnily enough he supported the rushed behind rule changes a few years back but you can’t blame players for trying to win/save the game

Anyone done the back of the envelope B/E calculation on Neale? Just a touch over 250 sound right?

 

[couchPOTATO]

Neale to Selwood and pocket close to $300,000.

As a Selwood keeper league owner I would advise no.

When his role suits he can score well, when it doesn’t he will score sub 80. I don’t see any reason why his long term role and average will be significantly better than 2020 so there should be much better trade options elsewhere.

@brice Mitchell on Twitter is usually pretty timely and accurate, he reckons 264.

I came up with 263.6.
It will be around that area +/- 3, I think.

Thanks guys, great stuff.
Interesting how steep Brice has the MN dipping 👍

 

[scarfaceclaw]

The Selwood throw that lead to a goal annoys me. It's just cheating.

 

[Juzzo]

Glad I fell asleep at 3/4 time. I probably would've thrown remote at TV. Scott's pathetic tactics would've lost it if it wasn't for the totally incompetent and cowardly umpiring.
