Gunston is just class. I laughed today remembering when he was our fourth, maybe fifth best forward. Has to stay forward, we need the talent.

Green was going very hard at the outswing yesterday. The conditions were tricky and he was in early but would have been nice to see him adjust. Siddle and Bird were bowling really good spells on a perfect length.

My mate just saw Premier Andrews staggering out of The Met in the Valley. Reckons he could tell it was him by how too faced he looked.

How does 9 years at $10 million dollars secure the same compo as 5 years $3.5 million 😂 That's four more years and more than six million bucks. With Franklin I understood the discrepancy in picks awarded, but those two contracts are so far apart in term and dollars that in no way can they be...

2010 elimination final. Hawthorn v Dockers at Subiaco when Morabito kicked a running goal. My first trip to Subi and my mate and I did not expect the cacophony of purple. It was awesome. 2013 Prelim. Hawthorn v Geelong. Roughead squared the ball to Rioli who marked. This is the loudest and most...

That Hollands reel is an eye-opener. Looks like absolute class.

Big Johnny must be Lennox Lewis.

What are the big forwards like? We could really use a good one on the list. I had high hopes for Lewis but he has been inept.

I am led to believe this is the domain of Gary Dempsey and Peter Knights. Dempsey plucked over 20 marks a few times playing the ruckman a kick behind. I never saw him play but growing up he was talked about as the prototype for this role.

I play Masters footy in Melbourne. Our club usually has around 10 new men and women from unfamiliar footy backgrounds turn up every summer for pre-season. Quite a few drop off before the season. The advice I would give is get down to all the sessions possible. Demand the footy even if you can't...

It's tough. Really the coaches have to commit to a more attacking sport for it to actually happen. Or at least some of them. Rule changes are unlikely to work for more than a couple of months before they are circumvented somehow or the umps decide not to enforce them as strictly. 16 players is...

Dusty Martin makes Richmond elite. It has been my belief since the QF, 2017. They have plenty of really good players and a top coach. But when he is on fire, winning contests where he is outnumbered, booting bags of goals, slotting them from the fence and spotting up really ill-advised passes...

Kennedy's legacy IS Hawthorn. Every time any of you cursed the ruthlessness, professionalism or success of the Hawks it's because of that man. He built it as captain and fortified it as coach. I would never seek to diminish the role played by others through the decades but John Kennedy is the...

The Lake, Buddy duel was pretty close to an extremely entertaining draw I think. Franklin actually booted five goals on Dale Morris who was put out of his misery during the second quarter.

Saturday night I think. I am going with a Bolter I think McEvoy will win it. Hardwick and Henderson top 3
