One thing i heard during the broadcast on Kayo, and i had to rewind to confirm i heard it properly was that....

1. Pittonet is ranked the 3rd best ruck in the game thus far - Behind Gawn and Grundy
2. Pittonet is ranked the 9th best player in the league thus far. 

Now they didn't dive any deeper than that, but that is super surprising to even me, and i've been a fan of his work for a while.

In what has been a terrible year for most of our players, Pittonet has been a shining light in what could've been a huge issue (losing TDK) and its turning into a strength.

That's right, we often see things differently.
We have set ideas about what we look for in players and sometimes their good is maginfied as is the bad depending on those perceptions.
I'm finding that seems to be magnified for some reasons this year...and there is a lot of difference of opinion over individuals.

I think Billy is a lot better value than you make out EB, at least he has pace, something out list has very little of.  That puts him ahead of plonker like Boyd et al

It may not, but Wilson isn't slow. Staying with him wouldn't be the issue

It would be a huge ask in his first game for the year.
I see him as more an attacking defender.
He has the pace...match fitness and defensive ability may be an issue.

Daicos would take him where the ball is though  

I'm assuming that everyone wants lasting peace, EB, how is this attainable without killing a stack of people and perpetuating the cycle of violence?

That mob do my head in EB, just de-railed another attempt at peace, for what end? Another land grab?

Not as bad as Florent who had another 7 turnovers and is the leading turnover merchant in the comp.
His disposal is killing us and we got sold a lemon by the Swans...

I know he had two bad clangers at critical times, but 7 turnovers isn't a genuine thing, I think you are exposing some bias.

Even if he did he was far from our worst, I'd be more focussed on the spectators than the blokes winning the footy and not using it. For example, Boyd went into full terrier mode, running around the back of the big dogs barking like a goalkeeper snapping at heels from behind, while leaving SF opponents free to snap goals from front and square roving. You know front and square, the basics, the very same thing absent from H's contests at the other end!

And another bloke who gets away with it on this site is Cerra.  Sure the numbers look ok, but when can anybody ever remember him cutting a side up or being damaging?  150 AFL games...when are we going to see what we paid for?

Blues by 14pts. Any other predictions?

Watching the ASX, yep, it looks like no one really trusts whats going on.  Also Trump is about as reliable as a broken clock.  He gets a couple of things right, and then swings around wildly.  The markets are hard to read, as he tends to put information out there that is provocative on purpose, and manipulates things to suit his buddies most likely as well, so keep that in the back of your mind.  Economic indicators are absolutely worth following here, as they tend to show whats going on, and right now, the markets have not decided whether or not this ceasefire will hold.
