He also talked about after the geelong game and compared it to collingwood game. Team v team. Gave numbers. I dont think its just running like denimundies suggested. I think it metres gained with the ball. How much ground we concede v how much we gain. Anyway it would be interesting to know what it is all about. The numbers that normally gets you a win. I doubt we will ever know though. Could be something he brings out to kill time in a presser.

talking stuff thread...
were talking footy here.........

cim m i dont think judd will be dropped... but he needs a huge kick in the ass.... personally id drop him... i hate the fact we have players who dont chase.. its an inherent wael trait and if its not fixed... and by fixed i mean everybody doing their bit... not some .

one in 7 dollars goes to him...

I think he's been a very good rookie get for sure. Gee i wish his fitness gets better. I remember last year he came good after having played a good deal of games in the VFL, perhaps he s one of those that really needs a longer sustained fitness program rather than a short intense one.. he ll come good i think

say it in your best John Candy voice(God rest his soul ... amen!)..... "Youve gone too far this time Synbad!!!"

ah ok, i think your right club, i wasn't to sure , thanks for that

The malthouse gameplan is a taxing one.. you must be able to run and be fit!!!... so Bell to have any chance of making it.. cant slip away and he must get himself super fit.. same as everyody else... Chris Judd too!!!... and everybody must work to the plan...its the only way its going to work...

You sometimes have moments of brilliance in a game an act or 2 from a superstar than lifts a team but FMD i reckon those 3 chases and blocks on the weekend are about the most powerful yet humble and meaningful acts of teamwork ive seen from the blues for a long time. Just awsome

Yeah, I'd rather keep McLean playing the way he does, can sneak off, find space and set up an attack. Not sure he'd even be accountable against Thompson, he's still quite slow!
Bell could be an option, but I reckon we should only make one change this week. Hopefully Hammer does more cos he was average against Weagles, still needs to stick more marks. Looks a bit unco. Otherwise, everyone played their role well. Not sure why people are calling for White to be dropped. Thought he was pretty good and seems ahead of Laids, Duigs and Watto.

Murphy is a good example of a forward runner who over the first month has really worked on his defensive game. Thought his effort Saturday night was great.

I've never been a fan of Judd's defensive pressure outside of the immediate vicinity. He very rarely chases, simple.

Bell is the same as Judd except he isn't A superstar with credits in the bank. I'm happy to be proven wrong but I don't think he'll make it until he changes his style and runs hard both ways.

Perhaps the very same message you identified is whats been sent to him via his omission . No disrespect to the players they're just learning and coming to terms with fact that expectations regarding workload during a game are higher than what they previously have been

Who wants to drop Judd? They must have been out to Windy Hill.

The oppositing know Judd doesnt work hard the other way and exploit it.

When you grade a footballer you cannot in this day and age grade them only with the ball in their hands.

Judd is an old dog who must learn new tricks...he is abe bodied .... no excuses... !!!.... its becoming more and more apparent each players are instrcted to run away from him and get involved.There is abit of the late Kouta syndrome going on with Juddy and if he is not careful the game will overtake him at a rate of knots.

He is one of my favourite players but hes fast becoming the elephant in the room and the sacred cow all rolled into one.

We really cant afford this with the Malthouse style.

Swann is a fatty to look at and yet he doesnt stop!!!....same with all modern day footballers worth a pinch of

Thanks Megaman. I am sure Malthouse is kind of talking about what is spoke of in the article but i think he has more going on. Comparing it to the opponents or subtracting opponents meterage from the total. He also talks about it in team totals and us giving up ground and allowing the opposition a chance to get into the game.

It may be something that reveals itself in time and possibly not that interesting at all. Seems like big part of the gameplan to me though and something Malthouse measures each players value by.

But what if she gets the sandwich wrong? I can't believe there are some in here that would rather have a sandwich made wrong than repeat themselves. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO A WELL MADE SANDWICH!

A bad Sandwich with baloney? BALONEY!

Sandwich hands need direction, even the best sandwich hands. So it's best to always give your sandwich maker the benefit of repetition in case the bit where you said 'No pickles' wasn't picked up correctly.

This is not a Stuff issue!

This is a Life issue!

Football is a part of life! You can't see that? BALONEY!

FIX THE SANDWICH. FIX THE TEAM.

A win here will get us back on track, but it will be a tough one. Adelaide match us up well.

Meters gained is a key statistic ignored by afl for a long time but has come into vogue in the last 12 months. There was an article last year by Mathews that said we should be paying attention to meters and disposal efficiency as opposed to pure contested possession. It is a theory that values a player like Scotland over McLean

this old chestnut

but sadly i have to agree

and i say sadly because i am stuck here in Perth and dont get to see enough live carlton games.

the difference in perspective is massive - a heap of armfields work for example against the eagles wouldnt have been seen on tv.

i dont hold any TV viewers opinions in low regard

but yeah massive difference live
