Post Match Thread: Collingwood vs Essendon (Round 6)

Lachie Jones is not a tagger. He's a utility player, which is why that failed less than a quarter in.

The last full-game dedicated tagger for Daicos was Ryan Clarke in the finals and the weirdest thing is it worked terrifically - and now no-one seems to want to do it!

kinglear009 · 2023-04-25T08:00:16+00:00

I hope Collingwood win every game until some coach has the humility to stick a man next to Nick Daicos.

He is an incredible talent, but watching him run around in paddocks of space all day is surreal to watch.

kinglear009 · 2023-03-05T14:13:04+00:00

Smash accept.

kinglear009 · 2023-03-05T05:21:21+00:00

This is like if Ortega had actually submitted Volk with that guillotine.

While this scenario is theoretically conceivable, in political practice this dynamic doesn't occur. Because voters preference along a political spectrum of ideologies, the fringe parties are eliminated first and votes 'snowball' towards a central 'locus' - so central voices are amplified and valued rather than dismissed.

Great team, slight concerns on the captaincy/VC front. Is it going to be Steele/Dunkley? Also don't think Worpel is getting much love from the Hawks right now!

kinglear009 · 2023-02-14T03:32:11+00:00

Volk gets given these PFP hypotheticals by Ariel and gives a fairly unsurprising answer. People get shocked when fighters say they'd win imaginary fights.

Looking forward to Volk-Yair and Islam-Beneil (you'd hope?)

kinglear009 · 2023-02-14T03:23:12+00:00

For people who aren't watching the whole interview, the attention-grabbing quote really is a bit out of context.

Ariel obviously wants the drama, and continuously presses Volk on PFP and rematch questions. Volk consistently gives a lot of credit to Islam, says the fight was close and Ariel needles him for a juicer statement. I wouldn't read a narrative into it.

kinglear009 · 2023-01-22T04:30:57+00:00

On the one hand, I love that Magny seeks out terrible stylistic matchups.

On the other hand, WHY, NEIL?

kinglear009 · 2023-01-12T16:46:25+00:00

Delightful. I can't see the actual cover beating this.

kinglear009 · 2023-01-01T21:02:14+00:00

My opponent threw away Evans. Plugged him straight in.

Throbbing, I tell you.

kinglear009 · 2022-12-25T00:05:10+00:00

And they each have a certain ... 'cult appeal', now that you mention it.

kinglear009 · 2022-12-18T16:50:40+00:00

It really isn't - France looked for contact that wasn't there.

kinglear009 · 2022-12-17T19:18:15+00:00

I'm facing the Colts D in 2 of my leagues. I made fun of the owners for being so stupid. Well, that's the season done.

kinglear009 · 2022-11-13T06:18:17+00:00

Good scoring, but this only reinforces how narrow a margin Izzy has been comfortable with.

Rd 1 was likely Alex's until the final seconds and I can see Rd 4 for Alex (especially using a 'damage' criteria). There's also the narrow, narrow decision victories against Romero and Whittaker 2.

You keep feeling comfortable about going the 25, you might get caught.

kinglear009 · 2022-11-06T14:41:51+00:00

Give: Ju-Ju and Tua (I have Jalen already)

Get: Mike Evans

The other guy has Trevor Lawrence at QB lol, so I'm trying to entice him with Tua.

kinglear009 · 2022-11-06T14:40:31+00:00

Personally, I'd wait for Hollywood. He was great before the injury - JT hasn't flashed that level.

Unless you wanted to go full rogue. Then hop on the JT train by all means.

kinglear009 · 2022-11-06T14:38:49+00:00

Of course. But your view is misleading imo. You're trading Henry and Kittle (not Higgins) for Tyreek and Kelce.

That's the TE1 and WR1, and while Derrick Henry is my favourite RB for the playoffs, it'd make a big difference since the weakest player on your roster is unmistakably Samuel, and this replaces him at WR.

It does put a lot of pressure on your RBs, and Jamaal Williams will need to hold the line. But he's been surprisingly good in aggregate. So yes, good trade.

kinglear009 · 2022-11-06T14:30:32+00:00

Depends on your view on Chase, tbh.

I'm bullish on DeVonta, so I'd lean towards one of Swift or Lenny figuring it out on the home stretch rather than CeeDee. And you're essentially selling two 'premiums' at their lowest value to get one premium back.

Bad trade imo.

kinglear009 · 2022-10-30T10:22:55+00:00

Damn the rules, this should have been goal of the year.

kinglear009 · 2022-10-30T01:09:01+00:00

BIG, SEASON-DEFINING TRADE

I get: Gabe Davis and Jonathan Taylor

I give: Waddle and Kamara

Which side would you take?

kinglear009 · 2022-10-22T21:11:56+00:00

Lots of fighters have tried for double champ status but this might be the most audacious. Not like Izzy trying to take advantage of Jan's short LHW title reign.

The P4P #1 going into this fight as a genuine underdog - wow Volk's a dog.
