Very good KittyExcept that Sticks' head is being called for? Something to do with a platter, + Jeanie playing Salomé
DanA , a lot to like about that post. Id say we are dancing to the same tune Guthrie/Kelly although I think Guthrie addition has so much upside and that in a pure comparison he is a bit more vibrant , so he energizes our midfield , rather Kelly is tough and solid.
The only thing Im not sure about is Hunt. Guthrie showed hoe important it is to be a smart player in that position, Is that the way I think of Hunt? Probably not. Perhaps he can do the role Josh Hunt did it for years and was never what id say a perfect BP. If he shuts down a small forward in a big game then I'll happily admit im wrong

if we can get Kersten back and upto full health by about round 17-20, he could be a very nice inclusion and would give Bartel and Hawkins a little extra freedom around the goals.
Think that's one of the really big positives, we had 22 contributors.
Maybe I'm biased but I look at the Hawthorn side at the minute and see Spanger, Langford, Cheney, Duryea, Simpkin and Ceglar playing....you've got to think we've got an edge in depth looking at that. Absolutely they've got some injuries (Hodge, McEvoy, Anderson, Sewell) but you'd think the injury lists are only going to get longer as the season progresses. I think we're as good as anyone this season, certainly in with a chance next week.
Does he play?
Seems like Hawkins is the focal point with a resting ruck in support. I'm not sure there is a place for Kersten at the minute though it would be nice to see some Ben Graham style left foot bombs sale through post high from 60m.

It's going to be interesting, as others have said they seem to be keen on playing 3 rucks and resting them down forward when need be. This is yielding about a goal a game directly. I think Kersten could offer more than someone like Brown or Burbury but that's total speculation.

We probably want to keep our young fellows all in one piece as much as we possibly can this year. No point in hanging them out in front of a team of snipers -it'd be like a red rag to a bull! We need all of our big-bodied players on the ground on Easter Monday, I think. Save Lang, Kolo, Janssen, etc., till the second half of the year and against the younger teams.

would have to sacrifice someone like Blicavs for Kersten if he was fit imo. Blitz has been good but Kersten would give us another avenue forward of center which would definitely help Hawkins to get more one-on-one duels with his direct opponent.

Excellent win last night. GHS has earnt himself a run of games for sure. Can't see Brown getting back in for next week unless someone goes out with injury, anyone reckon he will come straight back?
West Coast not scoring a goal after qtr time - 2nd best defensive effort at Geelong for mine
Can remember going to a Geel v Nth Melb game in 1980 ( it was ordinary weather - but Geelong kicked plenty of goals) and Nth M elb - with Blight Dempsey Glendenning Schimelbusch- Keith Greig to name a few - didnt score anything in the 2nd half - not even a single lousy point - incredible

Could well be true, but they probably had that in
mind when they let Chappy go. I think it is by design
Anyway, it's working beautifully with Kelly humming along down back and jimmy offering something Chappy never could up
forward. Although Chappy has things in his locker that jimmy doesn't we probably need Jimmy's attributes right now.

They did offer Chappy a contract to stay this year, so to suggest it was all one master stroke of planning is misleading. Let's just settle on that it works, and that's all that matters.

Get fair dinkum.
If they want an actual second key forward to support Hawkins he will (presuming he's fit, and I hope like hell he wasn't carrying that ankle against Brisbane and Collingwood). If they're happy with the current setup of Hawkins plus Murdoch, Bartel, Burbury, with McIntosh lingering as well, it'll stay the same.

They offered Chappy a contract and he rejected it, build a bridge and get over it.
Great call you've made there GOB:
28th June 1980:
Geelong 13.6.84 def North 4.3.27. North kicked 3.2 in the first quarter, 1.1 in the second, and that was it. Can't imagine there have been too many games with a side going scoreless in an entire half.
