"Most mornings I'll apologise in advance to my wife."

Testekill posted:

According to champion data; out of the 100 top players for disposals, Cotchin has the 8th lowest average metres gained per kick with only 22 metres. That's also not counting the chipping sideways/backwards and his pointless little 1-2's that exist only to pad his stats.

It's ok it's ok he'll be a Brownlow medalist in a month or two

I'd rather Watson keep it. Sure he was on PED's but at least he's not Cotchin.

Someone on reddit said that both the Tigers and the Pies used up 60 interchanges each in the first half out of the total of 90.

My favourite bit was when the Tigers marked it inside fifty and instead of slowing the game down decided a rushed chipped high pass to a contest was the better option

You can't give it to Cotchin. It's for the Best and Fairest. Cotchin wasn't the best, and Watson wasn't the fairest. Strip Watson, no winner.

As we established previously, Cotchin is quite easily the most overrated player in the AFL ever.

Just put an asterisk next to Jobe's name and be done with it. If they give it to Cotchin the Brownlow is dead to me.

You can get stuck into Eddie for that because he's still denying that a large section of his supporters are racist arseholes, just like he did when they booed Adam Goodes. If he really wanted to distance himself from racist thugs and right wing extremists he could ban them from games. The stands might be a bit empty at Collingwood games.

He wasn't a member, but the club never denied he was a fan, he was wearing a club jumper during the assault.

I heard something about Hurley having injured himself and not training. I guess that's the downside of ...well, one of the many downsides of training alone, you're not in a structure protected environment. Which...is ironic because it's probably safer than the "structured protected environment" of 2012.


Also...207 new posts and Melbourne wasn't even playing! lol Richmond. I was seeing a friend who is over from England and she was asking about football, I was showing her the app and Richmond were like 15 points up half way through the last and I said "so they're the exact sort of team who will lose this" ...cheers Richmond, you might let your own down constantly but you don't let me down!

Nah, pretty sure Cotchin and Mitchell were tied for second.

Im still salty because I had a cheeky $50 at good odds for Mitchell to win, and he was beaten by a drug cheat.
