I get that some people hold Twomey's bias towards Essendon against him - and the same with Whateley's bias towards Geelong.
What I don't get is that some people - perhaps some of the same folk who criticise Twomey and Whateley - then criticise Dunstall for NOT being biased towards Hawthorn. That just doesn't sound logical to me.
For the record, I've always thought Whateley was biased towards the Cats and am beginning to see Twomey in the same light but I have 100% respect for Dunstall. Every fibre in his being probably cries out to barrack for the Hawks when he's on air but he's the ultimate professional and simply calls it as he sees it.
Love the Chief - and Derm.

The Academy's is a killer.
With a fit Day I'm not so worried by Crows, Dogs and GWS
It's the Lions, Cats and I think Suns we will be chasing silverware with.
SURELY Geelong drop off
I mean they'll still make finals cos pretty much everyone does now. But SURELY they're not contending in 2026

Has that ever happened before?
Who knows. Would be quite rare
I like both, but from the highlights Grij seems to get out of tackles just through being quick but they still get a hand on him. If feel like good AFL tacklers just wrap him up every time. Can't take on guys like that without being super powerful like Newcombe or Petracca.
Lindsay is such a good kick and is far better than just a half back, can be a gun mid.

Mraz will probably get a game at some point.
I feel like he would have this year had he not gotten injured
Mraz, Ryan, McCabe, Anderson should all be in line for at least 1 game.
Hill an outside chance too.

With our run home, I expect we will be in a position to give lots of games out
Mraz and Anderson will definitely get a chance.

I get what you’re saying I just feel he goes way too far the other way in not wanting to offer any praise towards us. Then again, f#%king hell the guy owes us nothing - 1250 goals and responsible for hiring Clarko!
Totally disagree. Bunghole goes to the 'extreme' the other way, which puts most Hawks supporters off.
Very hard to listen too.
Don't get me started on 'the kid'
From previous experience, I think that is optimistic.
If the coverage starts at 7, there will be lots of preamble. Then the Eagles will be on the clock at 7:30. It will supposedly take them a minute or two to decide. Then each selection will take time while we watch interviews and highlights and pretend the clubs are still debating which players they all like.
Our first selection will end up being pick 14 or 15, and I would guess that will be closer to 8:15 pm.
As a spectator, it is a night for being patient.

Apparently Shane Crawford is presenting the jumper tonight.
I know it has no bearing but to me it just feels right that he will present it to a quick inside outside midfielder.

I think it it puts to bed the possibility of trading the first pick.
Think everyone has been thinking this for a couple decades now… I know better than to write them off. As annoying as he is Scott is a fantastic coach and gets a lot out of his team
Lindsay is this years murphy reid seriously underatted and performed at all levels. Ive gone cold on grjl. Hes fitter than most his age and is fairly low production on top of having a high handball to kick ratio. Not sure if he has the iq at the next level especially to play mid.

What do AFL recruiters actually look for in potential draftees?
There’s much more to AFL drafting than assessing kicks, handballs, marks and running ability.

He's a metres gained player though.
Even low production can be very effective if you're constantly taking ground.
