If the bulldogs dont win, our game tomorrow becomes the equivalent as a training run.

It may be counted as a clearance if the player gets a disposal.    A "ruck hardball get" is a specific category used by Champion Data.  Midway through last season Tom Hawkins had 20 "ruck hardball gets", something like twice as many as the next best.

I noticed when Jack took clean possession from a ruck contest and kicked a goal (when he injured his knee) that he wasn't credited with a hitout to advantage but was given a contested possession.  I imagine that if you drilled down further, there'd be a "ruck hardball get".

I know that Harry has got several this season and Charlie has at least one.

I will be expecting Harry to go for clean possessions whenever he can.

It's another example of somewhat bogus reporting of stats, because the ruck can defeat his opponent hands down in F50 take the ball cleanly, and it just gets reported as Contested Possession or Score Assist.

I really hope the boys don’t lose track of the collective and get unduly distracted by Charlie’s potential Coleman. The person having the shot should be the one in best position, be it Charlie or someone else. When and if the game is in the bag, by all means give him the ball. The collective effort has played no small part in our recent great form, and it’s importance should not be downplayed. There’s no shame for Charlie to be a winner and also runner up in the Coleman , and certainly no shame finishing second to arguably the best shot for goal the game has seen.

THE best shot for goal the game has seen? I'd agree with ONE of the best, I reckon there are few handy ones ahead of him. I can't go passed Lockett and Dunstall for accuracy, routine, reliability.

Quite a diverse emergency list to choose a sub from....

[22] Caleb Marchbank,
[27] Marc Pittonet,
[37] Jordan Boyd,
[35] Ed Curnow

Who gives us most flexibility??

I'm now more worried about Charlie kicking 2 goals! It's a team game for sure but would be a bummer to get pipped for the Coleman in the last game of the season.
