Discussion 2023 Round 4: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Drew]

Nice goal Tex!

 

[Shannon]

Goal assist Laird with that smoother?

 

[Rowsus]

Laird hasn't gone 110+ against Freo since 2015. He only has 2 x 100+ scores against them in that time.

 

[Athomas]

Big start from Michalanney.

Doubt many traded in (just checked, 1%) but the 4% that started him would be enjoying it with all the defender rookie carnage!

 

[Zimmer]

I still think that having everyone within 50m of the ball happens way too much which leads to rubbish footy. It seems a little better since the "stand" rule came in (much as I dislike it), but it's still too prevalent.

The 6-6-6 rule might have helped a bit too, when a side gets a quick clearance, but if they can do that for bounces, why not all game? Have it as a max of 12 per half of the ground and a min of 3 in each 50 arc at all times (per side) and you will never have more than 24 around the ball at any point on the ground. Still too congested, but better.

My opinion only of course.

I watched a game from the 90’s recently -Saints and Blues maybe. The space and angles used reminded me why I love(d) footy. It was so good. The game has deteriorated so badly.

Why would you say that now Row. Oh well, too late now.

 

[madmunza]

Dawson in the mids not good. Scores better in the backs

 

[Socrates2]

Need a big game from Darcy, he is getting benched more this year.

 

[Rowsus]

Sorry, just saw it.

 

[Zimmer]

Sorry, just saw it.

No worries. I should have done more research. Let’s hope he bucks the trend today.

 

[7/11]

Means he’s due!

Improved fitness/speed of players (everyone has the fitness of a Craig Braddley) has impacted the game and minmised the space available for run and carry.

 

[Zimmer]

Blimmin’ Darcy. Worst starting pick/trade out ever.

 

[7/11]

I don’t see this necessarily as a bad thing. Means he is able to have a proper go when he’s on the field.

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

17 minutes in, Hayden Young yet to get a touch...

[Courtesans]

Laird is going to kill a fair few of us again.

 

[Zimmer]

It was just more attractive and intelligent footy. Fitness has improved in proportion to the deterioration of footy smarts and strategy.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

Blimmin’ Darcy. Worst starting pick/trade out ever.

Imagine trading in Luke Ryan.

 

[Socrates2]

Laird is going to kill a fair few of us again.

I thought he racks up tackles when tagged?
