Been Overseas since the Geelong game in june and only managed to catch the ess game over there. Sat night was the frst game i have seen for a few weeks and 2 things stood out. 1. how well our backiline is holding up. I havent seen Gibson play a bad game this year (apart from geel). he is...

Why does it make u cringe...i was at wimbledon a few weeks ago and wearing my hawks jumper...got a brief conversation out of Pat Cash too(fellow hawk). Very happy. Also had a nice blonde lady come up to me asking was i there to see Lleyton. I said hopefully i get in and pointed her in the...

will be at the time trial tonight myself....wearing a hawks jumper! Go Cadel

Jesus, why are we all being so precious. Every player cops criticism. Hodge, Buddy or antone who stuffs up. Yes we forgive them and move on. As i have repeatedly stated, Murphy has started to come good and im happy for that. It doesnt mean i was wrong that he hasnt been up to it in the past...

What? Are we supposed to sit there all quiet and say "oh, bad luck tommy, maybe next time matey"? Come on, get real. These blokes are playing professional football and get paid accordingly. If a player ****s up, i will say so, if he does something well i will cheer my ass off. As i have been...

1. Ok, on the first point- hardness goes a long way to a game at hawthorn, but it is not solely getting you a game. 2.Secondly- bullshit. I (and many others) have been a fairly big critic of Murphys for good reason. He has, in the past made some of the poorer mistakes in recent memory. Up...

Grimes from Melbourne. All round gun who will captain melb. Sidebottom from the pies. Class and keeps his head over the ball. Hannebury from syd. another inside/outside midfielder in the mould of O keefe. And all the obvious ones Brown, reiwoldt, selwood, ablett etc etc.

I remember danny Jacobs being called 3 nokias!

Partially agree- He knows how to find the footy, occasionally puts his body on the line and is a bit shaky overhead. But he is not terrible in contests on the ground. He is only 21 remember and has a little bit of filling out to do. Some of these things can be improved on as a player gets more...

10 is too hard so ill do a few extra- Franklin Hodge Mitchell Sewell Roughead Burgoyne Bateman Croad Rioli Lewis Birchall Brown Guerra Ellis Young Gilham Osborne Ladson Sheils shoenmakers Gibson Renouf Thats 22 i think. Obviously that list will change in the upcoming season. The top 5 will...

Brown Gilham Gibson Birchall Shoey Young Bateman Mitchell Burgoyne Lewis Franklin Rioli Dowler Roughead Osborne Renouf Hodge Sewell Ellis Taylor Ladson Sheils Murphy Whitecroos Muston Morton Tuck?? Croad and Bailey Injured. I like Brown startin in the backline. His aggression really puts...

Re: Picks 39, 46, 69 & 70. Its a strong side on paper. I dont think today has been as bad as people think. Good luck to willo but he always struggled a little with buddy and rough beside him (apart from 08 finals!!). He will do ok at essendon and pick 16 was more than fair. Burgoyne will add...

Me too, love ellis. Hard at it and is a future leader. Muston could make a case for emergency, but IMO still a season away from regular football. I have said before i dont think murphy is up to it, but in late 08 he proved he could be useful. Whatever way you look at it, if we can stay...

Sorry guys, totally forgot guerra and ellis. both in the first side. Prob kennedy and sheils out. Still gives us a good selection problem for next year.

Hey people, already forgot this year and am really looking forward to next year. assuming we get the gibson and burgoyne deals done, what would be our strongest lineup. ill have a go B: Brown, Gilham, Birchall HB: Hodge, Gibson, Ladson C: Burgoyne, Mitchell, Young HF: Rioli, Franklin...

Schoey was great on sat, and i reckon defence is where he should stay. Maybe on hawkins or mooney to start with. I know he lacks a little in strength but it would be great if he could beat a monster. Just off topic did anyone hear wallsy compare him to peter knights. Geez wallsy is a goose...

I dont think everyone called you crazy. A lot of us want him in the midfield. I have been saying it all year. Great game by the hawks sunday. Our leaders stood up in the last quarter- especially Hodgey, Mitch, sewell and lewis-not to mention buddy. This is the sort of passion we played with...

Yes if someone threw beer over the boys that is a fu***** disgrace, and they deserve a slap. However, the boys put in a disgraceful performance and deserve a spray (no pun intended). That was the most dissapointing game i have ever been to. Im not going to single anyone out tonight as i think...

All good points. I hope this is what happens. Essendon in 93 didnt win a flag for 7 years. But i cant see this happening to us. I beleive we have the best list in the comp- with a few exceptions. But it is still extremelly frustrating watching the boys this year. Roll on 2010 i say...

I love the optimism. I love my club as much as the next person, and i go to every game in melbourne, and once a year in tassie. But the argument is not " who is trying ". I know murphy is trying. Its who needs to be dropped, and who is not up to standard at this point in time. You can bump my...

Im not blaming them specifically for the loss. But they are one of the reasons. They need to be dropped. Anyone who disagrees is blinded by loyalty. Murphy looks ok when we are full strength. I cringe every time Taylor gets the ball in his hands. Constantly makes terrible decisions. Read my...

Some good points. However, the last 4 years have been an awesome ride. I had patience because i knew what the club was trying to do. Watching the young blokes mature into a tough, ruthless premiership ride was unbeleivable. Yes it came early and we have been stiff this year. But i need some...

???? What the hell does that mean>?

Thats a good post mate. But i have to disagree on a few points. Just because your neighbour is telling you they havent lost hunger doesnt mean its true. We are not attacking the footy with the same ferocity and intensity of last year. Obviously a select few are not in this category- Mitch...

Re: Murphy No mate. No one is blaming murphy for the loss. We are just saying he has had enough chances and needs to be dropped. Anyone can see that he is not up to standard at this point in time, and maybe he never will be. Continues to make beyond basic errors that look terrible. Anyone...

What a shit post mate. The club could not care less about what we write on these forums. I am a passionate supporter who pays my membership every year. I reserve the right to have ago at the players when they put in piss poor performances like last night. I am usually a very optimistic person...

I am sorry to say it, but barring a minor miracle form reversal, the season is over for us. I am usually very optomistic, but it is just not happening for us. Yes we have been unfortunate with injuries, but we have been terrible.Time to look froward to 2010. I am trying to find reasons. The zone...

Spot on, has all the goods. we have seen him do it.

I have been saying this since round 1. I know our defence needed help last year and moving him back pretty much won us a flag. However, up untill he did his hammy against the pies last year and even when he came back from that injury, he was close to all australian mid. He is so good around the...

Nice assessment. I was there and thought i seen afew stndout efforts. Sewell was BOG for sure. Buddy got a heap of it and if he had some touch he would have kicked 7 or 8. Mitch and young were very solid. Guerra was excellent. Shoenmakers will play round 1. Basically, a good hitout. Best...
