“Shaw’s review for this week was very good. Apparently McGrath and Stephenson have history. “
“Treloar v Merrett or Heppell v Pendlebury? Doubt it. NO, folks, you want to be on the Jaidyn Stephenson v Andrew McGrath match up. Last year NAB Rising Star versus last week’s 5 goal Rising Star nomination. They have serious history.
The date is September 2016. TAC Cup Elimination Final. Eastern Ranges (Stephenson) v Sandringham Dragons (McGrath). Stephenson cuts loose on Dragons full back Ari Sakeson. He has 3 goals to half time and kicks his 4th early in the 3rd quarter. He is the difference! Dragons move McGrath onto Stephenson. Stephenson no more goals and only one HB in the last quarter. Dragons come from behind to ■■■■■■ victory by 2 points. Stephenson 4 goals in basically a half of football. McGrath 29 possessions and 7 clearances. McGrath is the year older, Stephenson taller. This is the match up I’d pay to see! It’s going to happen.”
I’ve always thought keeping Jerrett another year, and having him as one of three mandatory list changes this year if he doesn’t come good, made a lot more sense than getting rid of him last year when we had enough retirees and weren’t getting in to a supposed shallow draft until late.
I remember reading in the age years ago about a professional punter who built a career betting against Collingwood in the 80s and 90s because their fans always threw the odds out.
one can only hope that the afl game is as close as the current vfl game. so sick of watching these games and getting belted, with the game being over early
