Game Day Tiges v Roos

[spook]

Good post.

I'd also add -

Without having the stats and based on what I've noticed it seems there's alot more uncontested marks in the centre corridor and in the forward half than previously. Would be good to get a heat map of this.

We used to concede alot of uncontested marks in our fwd line as the opposition kicked sideways trying to switch the play and open us up. But once they couldn't progress they had no option but to bomb down the wings to a contest. Remember collingwood breaking the world record of uncontested marks once chipping sideways in their backline.

Uncontested marks now seem to be in more dangerous spots which opens us up and breaks down our defensive structures much quicker and easier. manning the mark aggressively gave our backline more time to structure up, which was part of our game that gave us a big edge and worked well with the rest of our game.

I was thinking the exact same, Haz. Teams now advance the ball with uncontested marks, rather than just switch it. We've seen it - what was that Geelong video - 21 uncontested marks from a kick out to a shot at goal or something like that? Riveting.

Parker must of read this post because he came out and played very well in the 2nd half

In your next post maybe ask Parker to show it to a few teammates. Who knows you might get a few more playing well!

We used to guard the mark on the 45, taking away the inside kick to the corridor, and forcing teams long down the wings to a contest. The stand rule was introduced to stop this exact tactic, thus opening the corridor to dinky 15-20 metre kicks.

Or 12-15m kicks as Harwick pointedly labelled them.

Just being AFL PC.

Maybe I'm spoiled by too many champions.

Look at Shed, for instance. Kicked two goals yesterday and we all kinda think, yeah.

He's a champion midfielder. 14 disposals, two goals, not even a talking point.

Imagine if George had done that. He'd have been in the best form of his career, everyone'd be saying 'He's back!' and he would be guaranteed another 20 games.

I've worn out my protractor looking at this from every angle, and I can't see any way in which MRJ is not a better option than Castagna. While CCJ is a better option than Aarts.

It's like a win-win-win-win-win.

Here's another angle for you if you can still use that protractor...the team was in a better mood and won the game because George was finally dropped along with Aarts which they thought should have happened weeks ago.

Saw something saying we have played North at the MCG 5 times since 2007, and that was our first H&A game there against them since 2012.

 

[lamb22]

if we graft into a semi final against Geelong (not entirely unrealistic, we beat swans in an elimination, dees beat cats in a qualifying and its on like donkey kong)

I want George in the side over those 2 kids.

You forgot rule No 1. Never bet against a Rioli in a final.

Also Castagna....naaaah................in fact make that a HHHHAAAARRRRDDD NNNAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!

PPS Why am I having trouble posting emojis again? Oh got it!

true i did forget The Rioli Rule

 

[Harry]

Was this the first time a team has had 2 Rioli's in an AFL game?

Any chance we can get Willie ?

..............I want to watch a contest… not a game of keepings off.

Sums up my feelings perfectly, best comment I've read on the "Statue on the Mark" rule.

Great footballers of past eras became champions because every unbelievable piece of genius play they did was under opposition pressure.

Today, because of this "stupid" new rule, all players can go for an uninterrupted run without being pressured.

That's not footy!

Yep, the contest is what makes this game great.

Keepings off uncontested football is ruining the game and good on Dimma for leading the charge on this.
