So whats the bets. And it would be interesting if the non interested Hawthorn and Colliwobblers can stay out of this "debate"
Close but somethings a miss with both teams, but I think more so with Freo.
Eagles by a lucky 13!!!

Hey uncle. The next two
Hey uncle. The next two weeks are an opportunity to define our season. Port Adelaide have beaten geelong who have beaten hawthorn who pantsed freo. If we win the next two we are back on track. If we win one lose one, we are travelling ok. If we lose both in competitive efforts, hmmm??? Not too disappointed. If we lose both badly, we are along way off premiership contention and have a lot of work to do. Port, geelong and hawthorn are the top sides deservedly so. If we beat both we can claim to be in the race. I think we have much more work to do in season 2014 before we can claim that.
Fish! HARD!

Crap game. Had to go back and watch a random 2 minutes of the Hawks vs Saints game just to remind me how footy should be played at the top level

It was true champion stuff.
It was true champion stuff. Pav beat his own opponent, plus another, got the ball back into play for a team mate to finish. That should and would be applauded in any team.

Ohh Crap
Back to the drawing board. Some record or stats minded person might be able to pull up the record off when we lost 5 in a row last. Maybe 4 yrs ago when we were wooden spooners.
However they werent disgraced, and their kicking at goal reminded me off the GF last year, when Freo should have kicked more accurately. Piss poor 1G8B. Would have been way better even 4G5B.
But a final score is one stat you can never change.
Congrats Freo, deserved - JUST.

I think we can safely say he gets a goal assist stat for barlow's, or shall we argue about that? ;) can I just identify that in that contest, pav not only beat McKenzie (who I rate) he beat glass as well (who I have always rated).
pav didn't kick a goal. and neither did he didn't kick as many (if any) points as the greatest forward line in the competition did.
Clarke kicked goals, ballaz kicked goals, de boer, mayne and neale kicked goals. I think fyfe may have kicked a goal?? not sure about that....
not necessary for one player to kick them all, as long as other players kick more than the opposition....
comments?

Your last comment there is
Your last comment there is valid...the more spread of goal kickers (just look at Hawthorn) the better. Hawks had issues a few years back were the mids weren't scoring anywhere near enough that other sides would have. No issues now, particularly when you have a full back able to kick handfuls (Schoenmakers...mind you it was the Saints..)

I think it's fair to say
that given Pavs stats in recent times, he was beaten by Emac , who had as many kicks as Pav. Thats all.
PS Emac has had plenty of goal assists himself, not to mention his own goals out the back line.
Glue factory for Pav I'm afraid.

I think you're entirely
I think you're entirely correct in that McKenzie beat pav on the day. however, its easy when you have a second or third player contesting as well. and freo are way too pav centric at the moment. but the eagles defence as a whole didn't beat the freo attack. pav is the highest goal scorer currently playing the game. if he draws the best defender plus one or two more into a contest and another freo player scores i'll be happy for pav not to kick another goal this year! no glue factory for pav yet. you probably should apply that blow torch to some eagles players if you want to apply it to pav. cox is a champion, but perhaps past his best. glass is a champion but perhaps past his best. nic nat is missing in action.....

Pav
Pav was and is double teamed every game, including last weeks game, he was resigned to that but I really liked the way he busted open a few packs that we scored from.
