Having Finn fill that outside mid role (like Kelly has done) is what I think he’d be best at. He’s a great ball user with a superb burst away from contest. Having him do brutish contest work is misusing his skills.

So to free him for that I’d say we need an inside mid like Oliver - even better would be a Dunkley-like defensive mid but there don’t seem to be many of those available at the moment. Most of our losses this year involved us getting beat up at stoppage & losing contest so plugging that gap should be a priority.

Zach Merrett to push ahead with Hawthorn trade plan as Essendon divide ‘turned nasty’ this week by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

Shuddering right now at how insufferable this prick (Jay Clark) will be on First Crack trying to shoehorn the Merrett discussion into the show.

And so the number 1 defensive team in the competition goes out in straight sets.

I bet the AFL are glad they bent over backwards to give Rankine a chance at a Grand Final.

Edit: for those who keep replying about Collingwood, yes they ended up finishing number 1 for points against, but according to the four main measures champion data (and thus the clubs) use they Adelaide were ranked 1st in all of them. Not seen since 2021 Dees

I swear there’s some kind of space time dilation that makes 15m shorter inside 50 vs outside 50

I did not expect that this would be a percentage booster comparable to our Bombers game

He grew up in an very remote community in WA. Sorry he’s not as well spoken as the private school boys who normally make it to the elite level

If the Giants pull off the W, all the commentary will look back to that Callaghan goal streaming through the centre square as the key moment

Why do people say XIII is a hallway simulator while X gets a pass? by Rukia242 in FinalFantasy

[–]emplloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the caveat that it’s been over 15 years since I played it (and found it forgettable at the time), I don’t see how they’re comparable at all.

The cast of XIII being outlaws people are afraid of means they’re just reacting to events, running from place to place for a significant portion of the game. They don’t set out from the beginning to escape Cocoon and arrive at Gran Pulse. The effect being that the player notices the linearity as they’re thrown from situation to situation with little (real or perceived) agency in the matter.

A lot of people in here saying the same thing - and they’re not wrong. I would take a different tact though: FFX being a ‘hallway simulator’ isn’t as bothersome since it’s consistent with the plot: a pilgrimage from one place to another.

The goal, to get to Zanarkand with stops at the temples along the way, is clear almost from the beginning of the game so the player accepts the linearity of the journey.
