But you didn't need to see the stat sheet to know Lang didn't do a lot.
Based on what ?
I hope anyone who plays for Geelong becomes a star
However you compare Lang to say Enright when he 1st started off - Enright played as a midfielder in the VFL- he was before he got promoted to the seniors totally dominating games- 30-40 possessions - i can remember Mark Thompson saying at the time - look we could have and probably should have given Enright an opportunity earlier because his VFL form has been outstanding - he just keeps racking up huge possessions etc etc
Thats what Lang has to do mate - hes not ready for Hawthorn - no way - Murdoch will get that spot
I can't believe how many of you guys subject yourselves to reading the Hawk board. Why don't you just smack yourself in the face with a brick, less painful, less frustration and you won't get carded by a trigger happy mod/admin with an ego for simply putting your point of view across
I read for the perspective and to form judgements. I never post. They are WAY too up themselves to hear an opinion other than theirs.
That is the mods not the rank and file. There are several extremely good posters on there whom I enjoy reading. The rest is chaff.

I never go onto their board, its enough to deal with them on the main board. Some of them are quite reasonable, quite witty but a lot of them are off the wall. Presume its a measure of such success over 50 years and maybe we'd be just as bad. Well not me personally of course!Ill read over there but refuse to post. Much prefer to have the balanced discussions here.

The narcissist in me says that it should have been!
I doubt that it ever crossed WWSD's mind though.
Mental pygmies. Time we put them in their place!
I'll settle with raining on their flag unfurling parade thenUnfortunately we cannot do that till we win a flag against them.

Raining?
You and I disagree on his overall impact against Carlton, but it's not even relevant. My point to Goggin Our Best is simply that he is overrating the disposal count as an isolated means to assessing a kid's potential or readiness to come in. Someone said they 'rated lang' and then he came up with this:
And of course, it's illogical to discount Lang based on his lack of possessions and then say Murdoch should get the spot.
Thurlow is the one I think could have a big jump this year, his disposal and decision making and even the way he moves has more than a hint of class about it. Luckily he did most of the preseason running and fitness before his injury so I think once he gets back he'll be returning off a pretty good base and hopefully take the next step to being a regular in the team this year. I was actually surprised Scott/the MC didn't play him more last year.But I think if we continue to play players like Bews, Lang, Thurlow, Kolo, Cocky, GHS and Walker - we will have a few up and down games.
Me too.I'll settle with raining on their flag unfurling parade then
Like a few others, we missed our chance in 2008 when we should have cleaned them up.Unfortunately we cannot do that till we win a flag against them.

So they will always have that over us and even if we beat them in a GF one day, it will make no difference to the ferals-they will just publish the list of all the other times they have beaten us when it counts. And they are right-so who cares-let's just beat them when we can. And most especially on a flag unfurling day, or in any game to keep a three -peat out of reach!
Haha or a week! Still your dream seems a little fanciful at the moment-but a week is a long time if footy!The dream would be to absolutely smash them on Grand Final Day in 2015, over 100 points, over 119....
That would shut them up for a few years!

Didn't Thurlow go down in mid-December, at the beginning of preseason?Thurlow is the one I think could have a big jump this year, his disposal and decision making and even the way he moves has more than a hint of class about it.

We did beat them soundly in 1963, my dad went to that game Polly Farmer was BOG.Unfortunately we cannot do that till we win a flag against them.

It happened just before the Christmas break so he got the main block of preseason running under his belt, he started training again on the 6th of Feb so he's prob lost about 3/4 weeks on the other guys but he said he's expected to be fit for the early rounds of 2015. So I reckon hopefully we could see him in the AFL team by round 5 to 7.Didn't Thurlow go down in mid-December, at the beginning of preseason?
I think he's missed all but the last few weeks- and hasn't long come back and started running. Not sure when he'll be available for senior games but I'm almost certain his p/s has been significantly affected.
