The stopping play and moaning about lack of a decision is my only big strike against Hogans game imo. His kicking could be better, but a lot of the time he will throw his hands up after being infringed rather than contesting the ball on the ground, especially frustrating because he is actually good on the ground due to his core strength.

gabensraum posted:Yeah I see your point there. Just watched it again a few times and it's deceptive because he's already running when he receives the ball so you think he's had it a while but he only has a moment before he is tackled. On the other hand, anything that sends Richmond fans into a meltdown... Probably a bigger issue is the non-performance of Cotchin and others. Anyway they've got a few months to muse on that.

It just looked bad because of the context. What was dumb was that a lot of players were waiting for a whistle while the Roos went on a counter-attack. i didnt like that dimma had a whinge about the non call after the game instead of just criticizing his players for not playing to the whistle

That was actually a ripping opening round of the finals, and the only thing even approaching a blowout was Friday night, which I still thoroughly enjoyed.

That's a bit crook. Hopefully he gets himself right, whatever it is he's actually dealing with.

He'd provide more on-field skill and off-field leadership than their whole leadership group combined. That's setting a pretty low bar though. Just imagine the fun Dusty and Bennell could get up to!

tnimark posted:Wait what? He means Toby Mitchell. Anyway yeah, Richmond's problem is that their list is too shallow to cover for when their leaders go missing. In a good side, the next tier steps up. For Richmond, the next tear is guys like Taylor Hunt and Kamdyn McIntosh.

I had to think if there was any correlation between Hawthorn premierships and Liberal PMs since Abbott came in just before the 2013 GF 1961 - Menzies (LP) 1971 - McMahon (LP) 1976, 78 - Fraser (LP) 1983, 86, 88, 89, 91 - Hawke (ALP) 2008 - Rudd (ALP) 2013, 14 - Abbott (LP) But there's no real pattern, it's about six apiece. Furthermore, Hawthorn never won when Kennett was Vic premier (actually he was in favour of the merger so I'm not sure why we tolerate him, but anyway). At least we can't have a Federal election in the middle of the finals series this year.

Mark/Goal of the year finalists up on the site now. I'd be happy with any of the three goals winning, lean towards Fyfe myself. NicNats mark is a step above the other two imo

Solemn Sloth posted:Mark/Goal of the year finalists up on the site now. All 3 goals are amazing. I think I have to lean towards Eddie Betts though. In the wet on the boundary 49 out with a left foot torp. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm clearly biased but Bruce should get the mark of the year. It's definitely between him and Nic Nat though. Nic Nat got more height but Bruce got more hang time. Both took theirs over 3 players but Bruce was all opposition. 2 players were left standing after Nic Nats mark but none were after Bruce's. I don't know why any of these things matter but they do. ![]()

I can see the argument for Eddie, but I always prefer the goals that are more heavy on the lead up play rather than just the kick itself, hence liking cowdude's

However, sometimes the kick is just so good it makes up for it. I think that kick is probably one of those. Although, Eddie does that kind of stuff on an almost weekly basis these days. If someone kicked a 75m torp after the siren to win a game I'd instantly give them the award and stop taking submissions.

nicnat's mark will win for sure, he jumped on the shoulders of a 200cm tall ruckman who was already jumping for the ball, haha its not even close however, eddie and fyfe's goals are hard to chose from... fyfe's did have a nice build up

I bet I know at least two of the three GOTY contenders just from watching too many games on the International Live app. All of that commentary is burned into my brain and that of my teammates at my local, so it's just nonstop "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, SURELY" and "WE'VE SEEN IT SO MANY TIMES BEFORE" during the lazy goals kicking section of practice. [Edit] Here's a decent article on Korcheck: Link here! He wasn't a superstar - far from it from the sounds of it - but became a really hungry yet team-focused role player on a team that played NCAA basketball at a very high level. I think Holmes played at lower-division schools, but Korcheck played at a huge, more famous and traditional power. I think he'll translate alright. harperdc fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Sep 14, 2015 |

Oh and throwing my vote in for cow dude, that goal was so much better than the others. The marks are all super even, I dunno who will get that one. Nicnat probably for the height factor, but the others are both really nice too. Let's say nicnat so we can get premiership, brownlow, Coleman and MOTY all in one season ![]()
