GAJ doesn't have the foot skills of Jars, other skills for sure, but even without my Hawthorn glasses on, there hasn't been an equal of Jars when it comes to foot skills.GAJ in his prime (minus the selfish and self-entitled aspects to his game) would be the closest to Jarman skill wise
But but but, they won trade week* so desperate they turned to a ruckman who was cooked in 2016, but yet the media narrative around them still remains in the flag window.
What a joke of a footy club they’ve become

A mate texted me this morning saying they'd tried to sign a 39 year old corpse!* so desperate they turned to a ruckman who was cooked in 2016, but yet the media narrative around them still remains in the flag window.

Do you mean the corpse was 39 years old, or a new corpse of a 39 year old man?A mate texted me this morning saying they'd tried to sign a 39 year old corpse!
The only Bucky highlight you ever need to watch is this one. I was about 10 years old and remember running up and down my street in Blackburn overcome with joy screaming we did it. We were 25 or so points down in the 4th but came home with a wet sail.
Mississippi your post just mentally took me back to that day. My parents always laugh about how geed up I was that day. Outside of the 2013 prelim that game is up there as one of my favourites.That was one of the greatest wins in the club's history IMO. We won against all odds.
Melbourne won the toss and kicked with a 5 goal southerly breeze. Huge advantage.
Quarter time we were only 5 points down. Massive win for us.
But then on the stroke of quarter time, there was a northerly change (180 degree change in wind direction) and suddenly we were facing another strong wind, another 5 goal advantage to Melbourne - we, at the ground, were utterly despondent. The gods were against us. It was really noticeable in the second quarter. Melbourne was kicking the ball 70 metres. Curran in front of us at one stage kicked it forward and the ball looped right back in the wind and covered about 10 metres.
Half time only 22 points down. But for a 10 goal wind advantage to Melbourne over the first half, we were actually thrashing them.
Third quarter a wind shift, which slightly favoured Melbourne and then more across the ground in the last quarter. At no stage during the game did we have the advantage of any wind.
The beauty of this game is that we didn't panic or throw it in. Just stuck to the task and played sensible footy especially against the wind. Even the last 15 seconds we didn't panic, we knew exactly what to do. Long kick from Tuck down the middle, marked by Schwabby, handball to Langford, runs and then kicked to the leading Bucky who was fouled. Magnificent stuff. Huge pressure on Bucky, but if there's one person in the history of Hawthorn (Hudson and Dunstall included) who never ever missed pressure goals, he was the man. He didn't even have to stop, pull up the socks, think about it, worry, scratch his balls, take deep breaths, look at the scoreboard. He just went back and drilled it. Never any doubt.
And by the way, even without the 15 metre penalty Bucky would have kicked the goal - the ball went through post high.
This game showed the greatness of Alan Jeans, master coach.
Roos makes a valid point about the executive needing to support the coach you but if the Wallabies rebuild is to be modelled on the "successful" Demons then RA might as well disband.
I also went with a Carlton supporting mate as a 16yr old.Yes, the Prelim was our GF (like the Giants this year but at least we turned up to play).
You were lucky. I went to the game with a mate who was a Blues supporter
I’ve never actually seen footage of Stynes running through the mark that cost the 15m.
Does it exist?
If he was offering it cheap why not? RA have no idea and someone outside of RA may have useful perspectivePaul Roos is weighing in to the Wallabies coach debate in The Australian today with a quarter page article

Since Roos has so far missed out on lucrative "all care but no responsibility" jobs in the AFL this season he might put up his hand to mentor the incoming Wallabies coach.
I suppose it’s the same as a WC semi, so more success than the wallabies this time (yes I know they made final in 2015)Is making a prelim a success these days?
