Re: WB Game Day V Geelong R12 2023 Sat 3/6, 7:25PM - Marvel Stadium

Just saw an amazing stat On The Couch. Gryan Myers has hit a target with 45% of his kicks into F50 this season. By contrast, Bailey Smith has hit a target 2% with his kicks into F50. Both players had had roughly the same number of inside F50 kicks.

Who would want to be a forward in our team?

Is it not the chicken/egg though?

Don't get me wrong, in a previous (number of) posts I may have mentioned that for all Bailey Smith's attributes I would consider trading him because he's a terrible kick/decision maker.

That being said, are his stats so low (and steal 50 from your wallet at a party) Myers so good because they're bad/good kicks or because Geelong forwards know how to make space and lead into it and we, well, we're the same as we ever was?

That is absolutely crazy.

Who wants to over pay a trade for ‘Mr 2 Percent’?

Smith is a ten times better kick than Myers.

Having said that.

Myers is like 2 percent good, Bailey 20

Is he though? He can kick a lot further, but is he actually a better kick?

Yes.

Actually.

How do you compare two shit things.

It's like Nickleback v Bush.

Which is Smith? Bush I guess, the semi at Brisbane his ‘glycerine’.

I don’t like this comparison. I come to you with arms wide open to forget this, and that’s how you remind me?

Nah, I can't hate on Nickelback. I mean, I don't particularly like them but they've made plenty of people happy and by all reports are ok dudes.

I can't hate on Bush either, Machinehead is an awesome song.

I'm not sure what my point is here.

Now, Creed hate I can get behind.

When I was knee-deep in my indie-wanker phase (I was insufferable, some might say I still am for different reasons now), I truly despised these guys. But honestly "How You Remind Me" is lowkey a pretty awesome track (if not exactly original) which totally nails the post-grunge "soft verse/loud chorus" dynamic - pretty good self-reflective lyrics as well, which I didn't appreciate 20 years ago.

I get the Creed hate but can't even hate on them anymore either. Not my cup of tea, but there's obvious song craft to their compositions, notwithstanding Scott Stapp bellowing through every syllable with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

These artists have touched millions of people, which is about million more than most artists who have ever picked up a musical instrument or a mic.

I prefer the indie wanker Sedat.

Nickleback suck let's all go with that!

What happened to you guys....*walks away shaking his head*

Next you'll be telling me you like Limp Bizkit and Maroon 5 !

We're on a unity ticket there! They are as offensively inoffensive as it gets.

Also all nu-metal blows hard. I reckon that genre was the final nail in the coffin for rock as the dominant cultural influencer and paved the way for hip hop to take over.

Bland-o-rama but I give props to them calling their best of album "Exile on Mainstream". They know where they stand.

Well I guess this is growing up.
