TAITA

" Man up " is 1 of your finest.....top work .

You didn't even go to an APS School. You are a psuedo Hawthorn supporter.

Bad luck you minnow.

My opinion on darcy is that he has fallen into the Walls/Lane opportunism of taking unwarranted pot shots whenever a chance presents. I find Lloyd speaks 'reasonably impartially' on us considering he would have more reason than most tp actually despise us.

All in the 'ears' of the beholder I guess. Hope you're feeling better mate. Time to pluck some magpie wings.

Cheers mate. Have a cup of 'cop that Swans'. Sure to make you feel better in no time.

Big game tonight mate. Can't make it unfortunately. Enjoy a beer for me! Go Hawks.

Thanks mate. I sent a PM but I don't think that they and my emails are getting out.

WhitX story in Age today (Sat)
cheers mate

Great to see you back on deck for the finals mate!! Hang in there til October please!

Have asked the mods too hook this up too ya BF account....

Well, you're right on the money there- no one else is doing it. We're seeing hybrid forwards appear (roughnut), but down back- no. And it could be a weapon- imagine being able to play 3 players who could dominate the ruck BUT not affect your speed and match ups? I guess therein lies the fascination with Trengove- CHB/ruck/chf etc his kind of player let's strats, gibbo, even shoey play in the pockets and on the flanks- and when he's in the ruck, Stratts or someone else plays the Kp role...

The question then is: if Suzan could play that role- why would we trade for trengove at all? Keeping in mind we have Grimely developing in possibly the same role, and a few scholarship boys who might prove a handful down the track.

Or is it important to have more of these hybrids than kpp's? The mind boggles...

Hey Marky/// The H2F brand was once worth a fair bit of currency on this site brother, but sadly it is now not worth the login effort.

Least I know who my real mates are

Hey mate, no worries at all... Happy to let the course of time reveal all.

I am more than happy to see Suzan have a go, but I am critical of his co-ordination with the pill. Decision making, disposal under pressure, clean handling- these are question marks I have over him if he's to play in that position.

But... should it work, the pay off would be a 199cm kpp that we've never had... So I won't say no, and looking at the eagles tonight- I'd love to have that size and speed down back, but I think unless it is trialled it is stretching the realms of plausibility to suggest him as being cover for us down back when talking turkey over trading players. You know- we can give up 'this guy' because 'that guy' will be able to do that... I don't buy into that logic... So, yes, my criticism is directed at fleshing out the logic in why we would trade a player rather than being 'anti' playing Suzan down back.

It is interesting times, and I hope all that waffle makes sense!

No probs, mate. I have more wine than I could ever drink!

Hey mate, Sam moved me into my new home yesterday. Great guy, did a great job and at mate's rates. Really appreciate it. I've sent a bottle of aged Penfolds up with him for you two to enjoy.

mate thanks for the kind note. Hope everything is well in your world - not least "we are the mighty fighting hawks.'

Cheers for the previews TAITA. You headed to the game tomorrow night?

That's no worries mate, don't sweat it.

Troll...

No worries, mate...was just aimed at the OP. Have seen your work before and know you're a quality contributor.
