Dayne Beams wants to go to brisbane

Pretty Big news. When he's fit he's a fantastic player. , i reckon Hanley is thanking god, would release him a bit i reckon

No one wants to play under Buckley, or so it seems!....Akin to abandoning a sinking ship me thinks.

So watching last nights on the couch. Mike Sheehan thinks Lake should have been done HTB with 1 second to go. It's funny how biased people only see what they want to see. What about wantfrees scragging and holding Brian as the ball came in for starters?

How about Hodge being held seconds before he applied that final tackle in the dying seconds. Onya Mike... favourite letter must be ARRR because y'er acting like a one-eyed poirate !

Monfries would have been kicking after the siren with Brian standing the mark a step or so outside 50. As far as I know 40m is about his limit and he would need to kick it from 55m

That was just ridiculous. Thought Hodge's HTB decision was shithouse but Lake deserved a free kick every night of the week.

Why must people continue to give credence to the media? Their opinions are no more valid than the average guy in the street, and in a lot of cases, nowhere near as intelligent. I have never understood why anyone would be interested in the opinions of a boofhead like Sheehan.

 

[Wandering Hawk]

Buckley is great for Collingwood. May he continue to clear out the list. Just need a similar type at Carlton... Oh, wait...

It should have been going by how the umpire called the HTB against Gray(?) a minute earlier. But at the same time, Roughead should have got 10 if they called the Port defenders for what they called Gibson for.

Interestingly enough, the only incorrect call, according to an article on page 79 of the HS, was the HTB against Gray. The AFLAU, always the ultimate troll.

Lions will have a pretty solid midfield core if the trade goes through

Rockliff, Redden, Rich, Aish, Beams brothers, Hanley, Zorko

Just a shame they won't have any forwards or defenders

 

[Whirling Dervish]

Maybe not quite yet, but Green, Freeman, McStay and Gardiner are a good start. Maybe Ryder too.

Add Crisp, Mayes and Martin to that midfield. Of course we also need to subtract whoever they trade for Beams.

Similar to the Bulldogs!

Jarrad Grant's VFL performance will mean they'll stick with the spud another year no doubt.

Wow! Pies relocating to Queensland! BIG NEWS!!

Absolutely, had hold of him before taking possession. If you cant chop an arm in a marking contest how can you hold one legally ?

I thought every free kick in the last quarter was incorrect - or at the very least questionable.

I'd just like to see us get some fair representation for once.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

You'll never get that. The Hawks have always been under-rated by the media, no matter how many premierships we win.

1976 & 1978 - Media said North Melbourne have too many starts for Hawthorn to handle. They were wrong.
1983 - Essendon on the rampage after thrashing North Melbourne in the PF, should deal with the Hawks - they were wrong
1986 - Carlton will be too good for Hawthorn - they were wrong
1988 - Melbourne to exact revenge for the 1987 PF loss - they were wrong
1989 - Geelong on the warpath after a successful finals campaign, they will beat Hawthorn - they were wrong
1991 - West Coast have been the best team over the season and should win - they were wrong
2008 - Nobody will beat Geelong, especially not Hawthorn - they were wrong
2013 - The purple haze is unbeatable. - they were wrong

I'm feeling good about this weekend, the media have all but written us off, as usual.

I just can't see a guy with as much integrity as Clarko breaking a contract to go to Adelaide

I can't see Hawthorn letting him either.

 

[Off The Couch]

I can't see Hawthorn letting him either.

If he really wanted to go, then I would be disappointed if they didn't let him go after three premierships in 10 years

 

[Off The Couch]

And last years statement "people who know me and the values I stand for, know that I would never walk away from a commitment"

Except for the one (and only) free the Hawks got...

I'd be disappointed if they did. What was the point of signing a new contract? They didn't let Wrighty go either when Carlton turned up with some brown paper bags.
