Tuning in from Liznjan, Croatia.

Game starts at 11:50am, so it's either going to be a great day or one where I disappear for the day!

Can't wait, go pies!!

But I reckon GWS's strengths are underestimated by many folks here. It's the interstate effect. (Same folks prolly don't realize how well Witts has been going for years for GC as ruckman and co-captain.) All those stars, like Toby, Kelly, Green, Whitfield, Coniglio,... We've struggled with clearances and contested ball for several months. It's tough work trying to win scoring by slingshot off half back all the time.

Since R19...

Clearance diff: Coll. -0.9; Bris. +3.9; Carl. +6.1; GWS +1.4
Hitouts to advantage diff: Coll. +2.6; Bris. -3.7; Carl. -1.3; GWS +3.1
Midfield contested possession diff: Coll. -7.1; Bris. +9.4; Carl. +12.0; GWS +5.3

Makes Maynard's stuff seem pretty insignificant!
Well, Maynard's stuff was playing for Melbourne FC... but, sure, only 8 games. :wink:

Except the 2019 PF...

Coniglio 33, Ash 32, Green 30, Whitfield 29, Kelly 27.
Well, that's sorta reassuring in a roundabout way...

Just need Toby to be subbed off in Q1 then!

The flip side was Nick, Titch and JDG had 108 between them.
Oh, bummer... At least they're playing! Can do it again.
