The hysteria surrounding Patrick Dangerfield's one-week suspension is justified; just not for the reason most people believe. There is no doubt in my mind…
When an AFL player is offered a contract there is an expectation that they will perform at a high level based on their performances…
When you hear the phrase “a champion of the game”, a distinct type of player will generally come to mind. They are the players…
Perhaps the Bulldogs winning the grand final from seventh last year said more about the evenness of the competition than simply the brilliance of…
The inconsistency clouds the fairness element of the brownlow for sure. If they truly want to protect the head instances like Cotchin’s jumper punch should definitely be viewed as a suspension.

I think a coach’s ability as a player is irrelevant. There have been some fantastic players who have become fantastic coaches, just as there have been some fantastic players who become terrible coaches. Its a completely seperate art.
The difficulty in justifying AFL coaching selections
I think comparing Lockett and Pav is a separate argument all together. Lockett is seen by some as the greatest ever player, but when players such as Brereton and Kernahan are placed ahead of him, thats when I feel he is well underrated.
But at the end of the day thats just a viewing Pavlich differently to yourself, as I feel he is certainly worthy of a top 10 sort of position.
Could Matthew Pavlich be the most underrated player of all time?
I am also from WA so I understand where youre coming from. I dont feel that there is always a bias towards victorian players, more so the lack of exposure and coverage 10-15+ years ago. But certianly there should be a much greater acknowledgement of some Western Australian champions.

Yes that is very true, there are clearly certain types of players that appeal more to certain judges.

Hardly different to Geelong playing 9 of their first 11 in Victoria this year, including 3 in a row at Simmonds before the bye. The only team in Victoria who get the benefit of playing at their original home ground.
The AFL get their wish
They were 27 points up at the 23 minute mark of the 3rd term, at which point Geelong had 3 players out of the game. I believe thats the best part of five goals.

Promising signs for the younger players yet still very dissappointing. To be the best part of five goals up while your opposition has only one player on the bench and then proceed to fall over can’t be overlooked.

Travelled interstate twice and knocked off the reigning premiers before even making the GF. Hard to argue with the credibility of the flag.

Absolutely. I’m just hoping as a Dockers supporter that it means success isnt too far away!

Danger had to go, it was a good call. But there have been too many instances this year where players have been let off for far more crude offences.
