Can you be called a "flat track bully" if you're not guaranteed to fire even against shit teams?

This is true, but I think Mick summed this stat up quite well in the post-match

Ratts would've needed a box of tissues after conveying those stats :sly:

Mick was right to trash those stats

So typical of society generally these days that when these 3 play well they can be referred to as a group.....the three amigos, Setantas little helpers, etc....yet when it's negative, it's deemed to be racist.

'The Three Amigos' is a bit condescending in reality but not enough to make a public issue out of it. Ultimately the buck stops with the club, not the players and there's no reason for or against naming other players in the discussion.

yes but why be negative with just the 3 indigenous small forwards?
Why not talk about the 19 non indigenous flat track bullies???... and leave them out???

The problem for our entire team is the number of flat tracks is diminishing.

Gold Coast left the list last year, Richmond, Port Adelaide and now the Dogs have left the list this year. Plenty of teams were never even on the list.

The flat tracks at the moment are GWS and Melbourne. It's pretty reasonable to expect they'll soon start to seam as well.

Actually Walker is indigenous ... but let's not let facts get in the way. Has had a great season but not so good today but not the worst or softest.

MIL's right, FTB tag is now redundant. As you were.
