Happy having brought in Dow for Owens. Now have Dow, Durdin and Martin at F6-F8 - not the worst depth.

I wonder if many went Chapman > Bowey in round 3.

Could end up making similar if not more money.

Heard a Forward asked that exact question 3 or 4 seasons ago.
Response was something like "Oh yeah, it's something we work really hard on. The other day I took 25-30 shots on goal at practice".
When they flicked back the studio, one of hosts said "I guess that's the difference. They think taking 30 shots at goal is working hard, when Plugger would do extra practice by himself, 2 or 3 times a week, kicking 100-120 shots at goal, from all angles and distances."

I suppose the question was a bit rhetorical. When you see the same guys make the same mistakes year after year it is clear they aren’t working hard enough.

I come from basketball circles and to be an average shooter at the elite level you need to be taken 100s of shots every day. The very best would be taking 1000s and ironing out kinks in their technique. No evidence of this at AFL and the deplorable quality of finishing is the result.

I suspect if AFL was an international sport we would quickly get shown up in this regard.

Brodie, deceptively slow, but just a good inside contested player. Can’t complain having him as a FWD. Tag-free role considering he’s just more in and around the congestion

 

[Dazza]

Brodie 100 SC pts for 68% time on ground😳

 

[elzorko16]

Brodie 100 SC pts for 68% time on ground😳

I think they have the balance just right!

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Imagine what Brodie could average if he could up his TOG to 75% at least

 

[Beg2Differ]

Mercy Brodie.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

With 2 minutes to spare prior to lockout I realised I could bench Brodie and access Dixon’s score... let’s see how this works out 😬

I think it is fair to say that I have completely stuffed this up 😡

 

[Peter56]

Boy am I going to leave some points on the bench this round

It's like Dunkley wanted to prove your point!

% call. Given the info you had at the time, it was the right call.

 

[Connoisseur]

Less than what he is currently averaging.

 

[Tails]

Would be awesome ... but has a great role that he can work from ...

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Less than what he is currently averaging.

 

[PC]

Come on Macrae push on for a big 140+

Suffice to say the Dogs missed themselves out of this one.

Also come on Spudfield, get to 90 and I will change the first four letters of your name back to what they should be.

 

[Dazza]

Preuss SC is BS should be close to 100

 

[Manikato1]

Schultz a important factor for Freo and influence underrated.
