Have to agree. I think he has the most potential out of the lot based on the vids. Build, speed, kicking. Most importantly looks like he plays with a bit of fire in the belly and backs himself. Not the shy type. Similar to Luke Ryan in that sense.

Would have thought Hawthorn's request for fixture preferences would have ended with games in Tassie. What a funny game we play when we are told that the GF must be played at the MCG, then a tenant of the MCG is allowed to sell their home MCG games to Tasmania, which then gets made up for by...

A big part of the reason the showdowns are so epic is the crowd. They create the atmosphere. Moving the game to the MCG where 10 Victorians will go watch with 50 South Australians who can afford the air fare will sterilise it. Leave it alone. The showdowns have taken over from the Hawks-Cats...

I recognise the letters but the words have me stumped....

I dislike Embley as much as the next sane person but he did you a favour. What the hell were you doing at a Manson concert? Were the Wiggles sold out?

So you're/were ..... Karen?

Finally, some rationale. Finals has to be a minimum next year. Get a good game plan in place, let the old heads lead then watch the youguns follow and play like seasoned professionals. For all those banging on about our midfield woes, lets remember Redden, Sheed and Cripps are walking around...

I have been hanging out with a lot of ex-wives. Which one is yours? I can't shake this feeling we will be watching the same b-grade movie next year, just with a better cast. We need a new plot.

No! Mundy needs to go back to the middle. Easily the best user and disposer of the ball we have in our team. In and under, winner of the ball. Will also teach Brayshaw what's required to play that position. Now that we have a forward target I want to see Mundy "lacing it out" on Hogan's...

You've just answered it: game plan. The last 3 flags haven't been won by the best lists. The days of needing a Judd, Cousins, Kerr midfield and winning on individual talent alone are gone. Geelong had the best list this year for mine and only just managed to scrape into finals. Amazing how...

You must be a real stayer in bed.

Mate, a very average midfield just won the flag. At the start of the year they were being lambasted for having no quality or depth in the midfield (remember the fall-out when we beat them in the pre-season comp?). Then they went on to win without Gaff, NN and Sheppard. Richmond won the year...

Haha fair enough. I want to believe but the last 3 years have killed that. Not negative, just reserved and realistic.

I remember how excited we all got with the news McCarthy was coming to us. I think we should keep a lid on it and reserve judgement until mid next season. Conca wasn't setting the world on fire at the Tiges. Lobb has the potential to be another McCarthy if his role is changed. Hogan we...

On Nisbett: This bloke has to be the epitome of arrogance. "I don't believe in homesickness as an excuse. It's just rubbish. However, I believe Tim Kelly is genuinely home sick". In other words any WA player requesting a trade to the Eagles is legit and the players we pick up are not...
