Yes luck plays a role, but at a bare minimum one would have hoped that we would have drafted two players who are not perpetually injured. Along with his poor disposal his durability was one of the biggest question marks about him when the trade happened. More so since he was gifted a mega 7 year...

Firstly, I appreciate you quoting JFK, '"Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”. However, it's the club that is dangling the carrot of the wonderous and amazing 'digital honour board' not me. I'm simply pointing out that as an enticement it is incredibly...

Channel 7 is hopeless at reading the room. What non-Geelong people see as a diving sniping thug and cheat, Channel 7 sees as 'brave' and 'courageous' and an ornament to the game. So as a consequence one of the most unpopular figures in football (and clearly least talented media performer...

Years ago I was wandering through Southland and I came across a pop up sales display marketing what would eventually become this. I didn't especially want it and I certainly didn't want to pay that much (it was like around the 150 dollar mark) but went ahead and pre-ordered it anyhow. Why...

10 and 20 with something coming back maybe?

Of course, he'd have to desperately want to go and it would depend how Richmond rates the draft. But if it's a good as some are claiming, and they want to stockpile first round talent before Tasmania comes in, all those picks plus Erasmus, it just might. Although I shudder to think of the...

Has anyone made an animated gif of that last lead of his that resulted in a goal? It was like everyone else was in slow motion. It’s exactly the kind of thing you want from a third forward, especially one that is 195 cm tall. Koschitske looks like a draft horse in comparison.

Firstly it's not a snap judgement. He has been in the AFL system for five years. He has been crap or at best mediocre for the vast percentage of it. What we are seeing is nothing new, it's just Koschitzke being Koschitzke. However, you are 100 percent right, he would be a better player if he...

One good match is your opinion. All I’m saying is they seem far happier with him than we are with Koschitzke. A win up until last Saturday for what they paid. Pity we can’t say the same…

Yes it was excessive. But check out Hawthorn board, up until Saturday he had exceeded their expectations and in their opinion had played some extremely good football. Although in fairness Koschitzke has also exceeded the expectations of many here as well. He is even more crap than they thought...

One year from memory. As lowly as they are they couldn't see a future for him at the club beyond a single season. We on the other hand offered him three. Hawks don't have much to laugh about at the moment but I guess they've at least got this...

Don't know if it would have been better or worse, but I was hoping it was the other knee...:(

'Clearly' a better AFL forward? Is he obviously a greater goal scorer? (for example last VFL match Ryan scored 4, Koschitzke scored nothing). Is he a more accurate kick? A better pack mark as opposed to a leading forward? Is he a better ruckman, since no one seems to be claiming that Koschitzke...

Koschitzke's ruck work was no revelation. It was commonly held by Hawthorn people and they have expressed it here that his 'best' work has been rucking and then going forward. That it allows him to be more engaged in the game, as opposed to a pure tall forward or defender where he is complete...
