@Pig_DRSC@Doctor_SC Hey mate - thoughts on Callaghan this week V Dons? I have Bont+Butters and then Gawn, but thought Butters > Callaghan might be fun to avoid Gawn uncertainty…
@hasumpstuffedup If he didn’t have prior (despite having time to prop and change direction before being tackled), then at least tell me how he disposed of it? It’s an out-and-out scoop/throw. Free kick no matter how you skin it
This is a correct decision. No prior.
As the second angle shows. Frampton bobbles it initially; he does not have a clear prior opportunity after he gets clear possession.
Fantastic tackle by Watson, but it is not HTB.
Good piece of umpiring

An embarrassing Essendon performance today. Collingwood had not scored 100+ points in their last 17 games and the Bombers conceded 20.17.137 and lost by 77 points. The largest ANZAC Day margin, since the first game was played 31-years ago! #AFLDonsPies
Just for fun, I loaded my entire database (65,000+ matches, by no means complete) into RStudio, all formats, both genders, and calculated the batting Era Index for the lot (min 5000 runs) to see what would wash up. The top 10 are constituted by six men and four women....
Essendon have copped a lot of 💩over the years for their drafting in the early rounds but they’ve nailed their picks in recent years, especially the 2025 Draft.
Jacob Farrow and Sullivan Robey both look like elite talents & still only 18. Dyson Sharp looked good to start the season before he got injured as well.
That’s a seriously good group of kids in one draft to follow Isaac Kako in 2024 & Nate Caddy in 2023.

@1116sen "How many 13-and-under boys do you think have registered to play AFL football this year, in the west of Sydney’s 14 clubs?" Gerard pls @AFLisnotasport
In fact, I can only find one match (Eng v NZ at the WACA on 5 Feb 1983) where the overs were reduced. The other 82 ODIs in Perth have all been played out in full.
Too many of the clubs on the right have been sacrificed in the name of AFL-ifying the sport of Australian Football at all levels.
And the same goes for historic clubs across the city and the country in SA, WA and Tasmania in particular.

@SethJThomson@jaiden_popowski His score moved up gradually during the last quarter. I VC’d so was watching closely haha. That would be due to the margin blowing out and points from earlier in the game subsequently being weighted more to give out all 3300 points
⚖️ #SuperCoach scaling, explained
I solve the secret formula that scales match-winning goals and junktime stats, and highlight the massive effects on scoring. With this revelation, we can now decipher SuperCoach scores with over 99% accuracy 🤯 #AFL

@tmthfc23@jaiden_popowski The reason I ask is Xerri’s score went from 111 to 126 after the siren last week, and he was off for the last 20 minutes of the game…
@SethJThomson@jaiden_popowski Points after the siren are just adding late stats and any corrections, it’s not actually scaling which was a common misconception
Treloar has played 2 games this year
in those 2 games Libba has scored 74 & 73
in every other game Libba has Toned up
coincidence?
hmmm maybe, maybe not
