Bulldogs V Swans - Round 11, 23/5/24 Marvel Stadium 7:30PM AEST

[mjp]

If we move it in fast on turn over and the swans scramble a stoppage that's a swans win. Then they r50 was what i was thinking. It's not exclusively us forcing a stoppage.

ummmm....

You can only score from 3 things:
Kick-in
Turnover
Stop

So the Swans forcing a stop in OUR f50 is GOOD by us...it means we have a contest in scoring position...what we make of it, that's challenge b. Remember, it takes 2-teams for a stoppage so I guess if you're saying our delivery inside 50 isn't what it should be, I'd say 'COOL'. But if you had to choose between a Swans intercept possession and a stoppage, what would you choose? Scrambling to force a stoppage inside f50 is GOOD.

Now - should we have made more of those stoppages? Probs, yeah...but that's part 3:

1/. Get the inside 50 (tick)
2/. Win it or halve it (win it or halve it - Tick - we HALVED IT).
3/. Win or halve the stop...etc.

Yep. Spot on. Now please explain the difference between a possession and a disposal - i'm still confused from the ESPN explanation on their podcast from a few weeks ago.

A possession is something you WIN - contested or uncontested.
A disposal is something that happens.

eg.
A kick in from a point is a disposal.
A soccer off the ground marked by the oppo is an INEFFECTIVE DISPOSAL (soccers only become disposals when they result in a subsequent stat)
A kick following on from a mark is a POSSESSION.

Is there a way punters can access the champion data stats for a cost? I'd love to access it via an api and create custom queries.

I don't understand the purpose of the weekly crackdowns.

Someone at AFL House says let's take any nuance out of this area of the game so we can **** it up a bit more for a few weeks and then go back to how it was before.

Brilliant!!!

Remember in, I think 2020 or 2021, where we had like 6 or 7 weeks of really strict holding the ball interpretation where pretty much everything was htb?? Then 2 weeks before finals started it completely vanished.

Swans fans. In the Bulldog reserved seats. Creating conflict. I said this last time. I?m OK with them sitting there. But when you are in the middle of Bulldog fans, why choose to antagonise people. Unnecessary, stupid and dangerous. A few there tonight deserved a little violence, even though I don?t condone that.

My sister who sits in the same seat surrounded by Bulldog fans had a loud-mouth Swans fan sitting behind them who laughed every time we missed a goal (which was bad enough). A woman turned around and told him to pipe down. He moved away after half time.

I can't go to games so don't have a seat but apparently members are sent emails asking if they want to "sell" their seat back to the club if they're not going to a game so it can be reallocated to an opposition fan.
Surely no one likes that?

Bevo said the defenders played for all of the second half, no breaks, as did English. Heroic effort.

I'm in aisle 32 and there are always opposition supporters in that area.

Bevo said the defenders played for all of the second half, no breaks, as did English. Heroic effort.

Jones and Keath with 100%
Dale & Bramble with 94 and 92%
Williams with 91%
Duryea & Daniel with 89 and 88%

English had 91% TOG as well, Marra had 96%

Swans highest TOG was Gulden was 97% and next highest was Florent with 91%

[Happy Days]

Gulden 97% is psychotic.

[angelopetraglia]

Gulden 97% is psychotic.

Not suprising. But he covered the most distance on the night 16.2km. Next was Bramble 15.3km, CD 15.3km, Keath 14.9km, Florent 14.9km.
