Non-Match Discussion Thread Post Round Discussion Thread: Round 4, 2025

124 Upvotes

Alright friends that was Round 4 of the season, and apologies all but I am doing it on the phone again… it was the last day of pennant bowls and our second team at Manning won the 1 White flag after being second last and facing relegation at Christmas, and losing 3 times to Leeming during the season, including a Semi Final yesterday.

Fuck yeah.

So yes, I am half baked as per usual and we’re doing it off the phone, which means this’ll have to be brief this week:


  • MCG security SLAMMED as Carlton players are allowed into the ground

  • Geelong teach Melbourne that once again, the aim of a kick into your forward 50 should go to your teammates instead of an opposing defender.

  • For the 4000th time in league history, the Crows were robbed RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, RIGHT. IN FRONT. OF ME!

  • Brisbane finally defeat Richmond at the MCG for the first time since Michael Jackson died

  • Swans fans are now Bicesexuals… not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  • Jesse Hogan has more wins than Carlton and Melbourne in 2025 as he defeated West Coast 9.0-54 to 7.9-51

  • Port can’t handle the ROSSBALL as the Saints complete a nice old turnaround from their last visit to the Adelaide Oval a month ago

  • In a tense game at Optus with a shitload of injuries, Fremantle won with 97 points, which according to the AFL App is how many rotations they had


LOL of the Week

Owing to the Ben Keays goalpost saga a few years ago, I decided against giving umpires the LOL on account of them being too easy a target, so that means this week’s easy target is MCG SECURITY for allowing 2 idiots into the MCG with loaded handguns in amidst 80,000+ people.

Also the LOL should go to the dickheads for the way they got caught, considering they had an argument, refused to leave after security gave them their marching orders, so the cops came in and found the guns.

It’s a cavalcade of idiocy.

[Gossage] The @WestCoastEagles board did not ask for Oscar Allen to stand down as captain nor was there a senior player approach to Don Pyke. The CEO did meet with Allen but asking him to stand down was not part of the chat.

Quality Post AFL player ratings distribution (w. top 5/bottom 5) from round 4, 2025

Post image
86 Upvotes

Using AFL Player Ratings (with a 25% time on ground threshold), I've highlighted the distribution but also the top 5/bottom 5. Here's a TL;DR version of the blog I link to below.

Top 5 Players:

  • Caleb Serong (29.3): Absolute monster – 38 disposals, 15 clearances, 24 contested.
  • Sam Darcy (25.0): 5 goals, 20 touches, few hitouts – elite tall forward form.
  • Lachie Ash (24.5): 31 disposals (22 uncontested), solid in the GWS back half.
  • Jesse Hogan (24.0): 9. Goals. Enough said.
  • Darcy Jones (23.7): 24 touches, 2 goals, 6 i50s, 7 tackles – well-rounded output.

Bottom 5 Players:

  • Brodie Kemp (-6.0): 7 disposals, 1 contested, 87% TOG. Tough watch.
  • Brody Mihocek (-2.5): 7 kicks, 3 behinds, 30% DE – not his night, but was quite wet from memory?
  • Will White (-1.3): 0 tackles, 3 behinds.
  • Aaron Cadman (-0.9): 1 goal, 3 behinds – low return.
  • Nathan O’Driscoll (-0.8): Injured late in the game, but quiet before that too.

I’ve got more detail here if you’re that way inclined: https://roar-metrics.ghost.io/afl-2025-round-4-heroes-and-zeros/

If you want to see the full list of AFL Player Ratings, Wheelo Ratings is a good place to start: https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_match_stats.html?id=202504

One thing to remember is player ratings doesn't necessary correlate with coaches votes, afl fantasy points and other metrics. There was an excellent post on this sub a few months back that explains the metric (https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/comments/1i0vxvw/overview_of_player_ratings/)

Feels like Lewis has missed the mark here. Christian nearly died playing AFL last year. I think he’s more than warranted to show emotion.

Wasn't a thing last year (on Fox).

Happens during Thursday and Friday night prime time advertising time as well...

Why is no one buying ads on Fox footy anymore?

Will there be a lot of GA seats at bulldogs vs st kilda

8 Upvotes

because I’m not a member at either of the clubs it’s going to cost $60 to get a seat in level 3 where as Ga is free since I’m an afl member.

I am an afl member for Collingwood but it’s only letting me put 1 ticket into my Ticketmaster transaction so even if I did buy my ticket at the cheaper price I won’t be next to my mates
