Welcome to the Bulldogs - Tim English

[Mofra]

Gill going down to the rooms and congratulating the bloke who goes ok at Basketball was dumb.

Re. English the Swans didn't actually play a ruckman that night, right?

McLean, a 24 year old 197cm forward who occasionally rucks. From the PSP in 2019.

Timmy should be dominating him, and given we lost the game - Longmire's gamble clearly worked.

I've never seen anybody announce their resignation and then proceed to hang around for another 18 months in the same position like Polo Gil has done, in some sort of perverse (non) victory lap. He's like the soul of your sneakers that still smell of dog turd 18 months after they've been partially cleaned.

Jeez, you're really not ready to hear about Ben Hudson or John Farnham...

Or KISS

[EasternWest]

Isn't this like Pendlebury breaking the record for possessions?

Who actually cares? When hitout numbers are being reported the world has gone deadset crazy.

Don't you dare take our pressure acts off us.

I watched just under half of the VFL game and saw someone take an overhead pack mark and go back and kick a goal from 45 m near boundary. I saw the same person running around the half forward flank and give a handpass to Arty for a simple shot at goal. They also took a mark on the backline and gave a 45m pass to Khamis who dropped the chest mark.

cannot think of the name, wasn?t Bruce or Lobb, but they were above average height. Seemed to be a prime mover contributing to the team?s momentum.

Lobb is averaging 2.3 marks per game, the 0.3 is the contested part.

How many are taking a contested mark 8 out of 10 attempts? English and Naughton are averaging under 2 per game and The Bont is averaging less than 1 - actually close to one every 2 games.

For some players the bar rises when the discussion gets to them.

I won't mention his name either and that was probably one of his best games this season but if you go back you will find it's a rarity if it's happen in the past.
Who knows it may be starting to come together for him now he's matured a bit.
But we won't see the benefit as he will be elsewhere net year.
We really missed the boat when Martin was out for a extended period and should have got games into him.

Nadroj Teews? We can use this code name Danjul no one will know.

[macca]

Jeez, you're really not ready to hear about Ben Hudson or John Farnham...

collingwood and brisbane wanted him around , so much they asked him back to play.
18 games brisbane
7 games collingwood

Probably add mumford to that as well.

168 games over 10 years, the great beard

I shouldn?t find that too difficult to remember. Thanks.

I went back to watch Darcy kick his goals against Collingwood. He is going to be one of the greats. Moves so smoothly. Just needs to put on 10 kg.

Well, while I was watching Nadroj kept getting in the frame.

One passage of play: Ball in centre, taken by Nadroj, long kick to Darcy, goal. 10 seconds.

You are correct, on all points.

(I did a google search yesterday and was surprised to see that his best game at Footscray was his first.)

I stood next to big Yteews on Monday night. Man mountain with a baby face.

Remember skinny, Bob Murphy ? I stood next to him once. AFL footballers are a race apart.

I don?t think they understand, or are even aware of, how us mortals struggle to cope with physical activity.

I have seen them move from sport to sport and excel at all. Look at Keath, age diminishes them but do they ever fall back to average?

Clearly Longmire didn’t give a fat rat’s clacker about who won the hit outs, because they really don’t matter that much, as evidenced by the match result. He was more interested in restricting Tim’s dominance around the ground. I can’t believe the discussion that goes on here about woe is us, we have the best ruckman in the league, if only we could trade him for a much more limited player who would win us more meaningless hit outs.

Hit outs are only important when Tim doesn't get them as far as I can gather.
