Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
Longer will not replace Hickey.
But I was looking for some informative, analytical analysis so thought I would reel StoneDregs in again.
Success.
If only picking winners was as easy!!!!

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
Here's an interesting stat to ponder.
In 2018, over the 11 games so far this year --
Bulldogs are averaging 25.1 hitouts/game for 37.8 clearances/game
Eagles are averaging 50.4 hitouts/game for 37.5 clearances/game
Double the hitouts for less clearances ...... so much for ruckwork, "hitouts to advantage" and Nicnat's hitout prowess/magnificent leap.

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
Hickey had a reasonable game - but "gave away" 6 free kicks (most of these went to Nicnat). On the other hand, we did win the clearances by a fair margin - 7.
So, WCE won the hitouts to no avail. No surprise there.
We need a ruckman like Grundy, at the end of the day - because possessions count far more than hitouts - and he gets plenty of possessions around the ground.
If we play Longer against Grundy - it's like giving up 15-20 possessions to just one player - his direct opponent (remember Grundy averages 23 possessions per game). With Hickey, we're reducing that differential a little.

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
Lot of good space wasted on an average ruckman Hickey and a lot more wasted on Lewis Pierce in another thread. Surely you can waste your time on better players who have actually done something.

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
Stonecold, I’m not sure if you take everything regarding Hickey as a personal affront or you are taking the piss.
You are so angry that I can’t work out if you think he is Kim Jong Un’s lover or he bought the last Bunnings sausage on Saturday.

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
It was a typo ..
Thread title should read "Hickey nominated Nic Nat" ... as one of the best players. Not only a reasonably good AFL ruckman and footballer, he is also gracious and an all-round nice guy, our Hickey.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
The thread title is clearly exaggerated. Natanui did OK.
Hickey had the most hitouts, most clearances and most contested possessions of any player on the ground. Clearly not the sign of a "soft" player.
And no, we did not use a 1st round pick on Hickey. It was Hickey, 25 and 46 for 13, 36 and 55 which would value Hickey at around pick 22.

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
Hickey had a pretty good game, but Nic looks very athletic and flashy ..does a couple of nice moves and stands out from the crowd...and that means a lot these days

Re: Hickey dominated Nic Nat
Kosi is right. You are wrong. Kosi is stating a fact where as you are twisting facts to suit your argument.
You're claiming he is a first round pick when you should be saying the Saints 'would have been better off drafting a player at pick 13' OR 'Saints wasted their pick 13 when they traded it and upgraded their 2nd and 3rd round picks in the trade deal'
By the way, did you notice I used an apostrophe in the word 'You're'. 'You're' is short for 'you are'
What is short for "he's" ?????

Hickey was beaten by he's opponents, anyone who has played the game at a reasonable level would know that, thus AFL team of the week for NicNat and media votes and best players as voted by his club!!!!!
Anyone who disagrees hasn't played at a decent level or is overrating Hickey!!!!!
As I've stated many times before, I'm happy the real experts agree, just enforces my educated opinion!!!!!
We will never be successful with Tom Hickey as our #1, time to move him on and concede it as another wasted 1st Rnd pick!!!!!
We had pick #13, then we had Hickledik, then we didn't have pick $13 anymore!!!!!
So cost us pick #13!!!!!
Your not real smart cryptic wise are you?????

I'll back my ability against most, particularly you Kosi!!!!!
If you think Tom beat NicNat and Lycett, well, to be honest, your not that smart!!!!!
By the way, the answer to your question is: your coffee cost you a $10 note, $4 and a couple of hrs off your life!!!!!

Hope it was worth that $10 note you had before!!!!!
'Cause StoneCold Said So'!!!!!
We will be great again once Billy is back playing!!!!!
