Yet they gave a full game to hartley presumably as insurance for hooker. The same reasonable logic was not applied to smack/JD.
Well yes. Hooker didnāt play JLT, but Daniher did.
Itās a clear difference, and goes some way to explaining the different approach.
Parish was on the train from Geelong this morning. Folks seeing him off. Playing me thinks
travelling emergency? and wtf is a league footballer doing getting the train?!
WTF? Of course they have to train. How else are they going to get good?
I only watch 1 GWS game a year, so the AFLPR helps to sort just what level the selected team is relative to ours.
Whilst not perfect, a comparison of AFL Player Ratings for the 2 midfields is informative.
We are way ahead of them ! ( with GWS now missing Ward, Scully, Kelly, Shield lol ) the total indicates we rate about 145% of their midfield
Essendon | AFLPR | AFLPR | GWS |
---|---|---|---|
merret | 467 | 427 | coniglio |
Heppel | 445 | 337 | taranto |
shiel | 454 | 419 | whitfield |
zaha | 406 | 262 | hopper |
smith | 390 | 101 | perryman |
Mc Grath | 290 | 297 | tomlinson |
bellch | 422 | 132 | simpson |
TOTAL | 2874 | 1975 | |

what you did thereā¦ I can see it.
I saw Sam Gibson on the train to work the other day. 6:00amā¦ true story.
Fair fall back to earth for the bloke who played ~130 straight games of league footy for the minnow club.
well to me this just shows reality from him what do you expect a limoā¦props to him.
Just wouldāve thought heād drive is all. Not like he couldnāt afford the parkingā¦
I am going with a bench of Guelfi, Tippa, Clarke and and Francis. Have a feeling courier mail accidentally published Sunday teams in todayās paper. ā¦Hopefully that is an error and smith is all good.
Weather forecast looks to have changed:
Partly cloudy. Medium (40%) chance of showers and the chance of a thunderstorm developing in the afternoon and evening. Max 28
Edit: That was Saturday. Slight change of shower on Sun: Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a shower. Max 30
There is no way in hell Clarke is playing
Would not have thought so, but in the paper, All Sunday teams had no extended benches. Not named in alphabetical order etc. Probably misprints/errors but worth watching
Cut the last 4 names on the extended bench and you have the team. It looks pretty obvious. I think they have to announce the final team in a few hours anyway?
Usually 5pm final team named.
We have literally named every tall player we have (thatās not injured), barring Draper.
And Harts. Not injured I donāt think.
And Stewart
And Gown.
So neither literally or figuratively have we picked every tall player on our list thatās fit.
Given he played for Norf perhaps you were expecting him to travel on their famous pregame elephant?
