NTRabbit posted:I think the GWS ruck is the biggest woman I've ever seen in person, but she's big like Liz Cambage, low jump and not hugely mobile. Metcalfe has nearly 30cm on her after jumping, and she's got some quality palming skills, certainly the most impressive of the four rucks I've seen so far. I was at the game too  Had a great time despite the rain. Great to finally see the team play, you can really tell the difference between athletes from other sports and the rest. Phillips was brilliant in the second half and Randall is a machine. Marinof was brilliant.I am also officially in love with Sarah Perkins  NTRabbit - you're not wrong about Metcalfe. She literally won every ruck contest except one in the first half, and after half time they were using other rucks a bit. Most of her taps looked to go to advantage too, though it's hard to say for sure since it was pretty fumbly out there. Hope I can get free enough to go to the Norwood game in a few weeks

NTRabbit posted:The first tap of the game was a nice bit of wrist work that went straight into the bread basket of a sprinting Marinator, which set the tone, though she made a bit of a nervy fumble if memory serves and didn't get a clean kick away. Bit different playing GS and GK in netball though, you don't have to do much movement in those positions and height is a gigantic advantage in netball where the passes are so much more accurate and it's so much more difficult to legally spoil the ball. Still, 189cm is around 6'3" which is drat tall for a woman. I'm 190cm and I'm pretty sure that puts me at around the 95 percentile for men of my generation in Australia, for women it must be in the top fraction of a percent already. Metcalfe for the Crows is 185cm I think.

realbez posted:The commentators in the Hawks cats game last week said they've changed it slightly. Something to do with the impeding player having to have the potential to influence play for it to be 50. So more interpretation for the umpires. I guess that's better than nothing. Anything that gives the umpire the ability to say "actually a 50 would be loving ridiculous in this instance" and not blow the whistle is an improvement to that abortion of a rule.

Largepotato posted:Actually it just further highlights how stupid the new rule is. Second ruckman gets there slightly late and suddenly he's not allowed to compete. It's an idiotic rule. Pretty much any rule that requires players to specify what they're going to do in advance and then not react to what actually happens is a stupid rule. It'd be like having forwards nominate who is going to fly for the mark.

Hooray for the Crows  Women's premiership on Saturday and knocking off the premiership fancies on Sunday! Good weekend of footy for me There was lots to like in their match on Sunday but seeing Otten slot back in and look completely natural was one of my favourite things. It's easy to forget how drat good he was in his first full season (second in the rising star in 2009) before having two ACLs, one in each knee. Brilliant to see him back and playing quality footy :thumbsu: NTRabbit posted:Telstra AFL live is stupid, I'm logged in to my account on my phone and it says I have a free subscription until 2018, I log in to the same account on my desktop and it says I have no subscription Yeah, it's a disaster trying to use the same account on multiple devices. The free Telstra subscription seems to be linked to the phone itself, not the account. Of course it will then offer "free registration" which of course doesn't actually involve any subscription, just the creation of a username itself. As if any service in the history of the internet has charged you money to create a username and then charged you extra to use the service.

Yeah, he's a bit of a prick. We have our own equivalent in Adelaide in Michaelangelo Rucci who has succeeded in pissing off both the Crows and Port, so now he just makes things up saying "The Advertiser understands that" and if he's right he acts like it was a scoop, and when it's not (which it almost never is) he acts as though something dramatic must have happened for it to change.

I will be very happy for the Crows to claim Byrne-Jones though Very sad that this racist bullshit has continued to occur at Showdowns. I don't think it's a South Australian problem in particular, but it sure as hell is a Showdown problem. Not acceptable and the people doing it need to barred from attending the football ever again.

Oh, North. Again??realbez posted:The deliberate out of bounds/rushed behind and holding the ball interpretations this year are really bad. Add in the idiotic ruck stuff, and I think the rules are the most confusing and annoying they have ever been. Every year the AFL seems to come out and say "GREAT NEWS GUYS WE'RE GOING TO BE EVEN TOUGHER ON DELIBERATE CALLS!" as though it's a good thing. Honestly, short of a player literally turning 90 degrees and booting the ball to skid out of bounds in a paddock I'd be happy to never see a deliberate call paid again.

NTRabbit posted:Daniel Talia hobbles off the ground the first minute of the game with a hamstring injury. Riley Knight leaves the game with minutes left in the last, and has his hamstring iced as a precaution against a slight twinge. Coming off and not playing the rest of the game probably helped. Reminds me of the time Brodie Martin did his ACL, played the rest of the game and was best on for the Crows, and then didn't play a match for over 12 months.

Rance is excellent at the role he plays, no question about that. It is a little annoying that Talia has been overlooked the last few years in favour of Rance when Talia is an infinitely better stopper. I know I'm biased, but Talia is the best stopper in the comp bar none and has been for several seasons now. It would be nice if the AA side was actually picked for balance. Still, I get it. Rance is an excellent defender in the same vein as someone like Scarlett, that is, an above average stopper who also has a bunch of other extremely useful assets. Deserves his place in the AA side. Now, what on earth he's doing as AA captain, on the other hand... cmndstab fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Aug 30, 2017 |

Ryder is exceptional, he was the only real contender for the ruckman spot besides Jacobs in my opinion. Jacobs is a considerably better ruckman, but Ryder has more strings to his bow. That said, I still think Jacobs is underrated as a linkman, especially given the way the Crows play, looking for turnovers and then streaming through the middle. I haven't checked but I bet Jacobs' involvements in scoring chains is huge for a big man. I genuinely think it's reasonable to say that Ryder is the largest reason that Port went from their lackluster 2016 form to knocking on the top 4 this year. Gray is an interesting case. He's a lot like Betts in that he will play a handful of games each year where he completely obliterates a side, and also a handful of games each year where he's practically invisible. He probably benefits being in a non-Victorian side, where his invisible games go unnoticed while the highlights packages of his BOG performances end up on every footy show. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Aug 30, 2017 |

By and large I don't mind the footy media, but it is annoying how often "<journalist x/news outlet x> believes that" is used as a fancy way of saying "I spoke to someone who speculated that something might be true". If you think something might be true but don't have evidence (yet), just say so. We'll still read the columns.

I am very happy the Crows won The last (and only) time the Crows had a home prelim final in 2006 I was overseas and had to listen to us lose it on a lovely internet radio stream. Devastated for Brodie Smith though  Looks almost certain to be an ACL, which could see him miss all of next season as well.

But if we lose we open the door for Geelong to get their assed kicked by Richmond again in the GF. I think we have a responsibility to Australia to close the door on that possibility.
