    Autopsy Hawks vs Cats - Do the autopsy here.

    Article by Jake Niall about the hawks' game style. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/is-the-game-running-away-from-hawthorn-20130402-2h58j.html I am not someone who over-analyses stats but these stats are pretty overwhelming I think. We are too slow in the midfield and get killed on the...

    Autopsy Hawks vs Cats - Do the autopsy here.

    I expected to lose the game today. The reasons were firstly that Geelong are a very good side and secondly that they have had a better pre-season than Hawthorn. The dissapointing part of today was how closely the game went to script. Hawthorn waste chances. Geelong take chances. It is as simple...

    Opinion Is this the real life?

    They are just like a corporation in that sense. They are scrutinised by no one. The government may have some power to investigate any corruption but that is all I can think of.

    Opinion Is this the real life?

    I think they are duty bound, but that they have and are neglecting their duty. It frustrates me as well that there is no debate on what they are doing. That we all just have to accept the decision of the leader without any scrutiny. The AFL does have many of the same characteristics of a...

    Opinion Is this the real life?

    The situation with 18 teams and 22 rounds is not ideal and can never be completely fair. This has been known for a long time. The AFL should create a long term plan to address this issue, but most importantly in the short term they are duty bound to make the fixture as fair as possible within...

    Opinion Is this the real life?

    And because Demetrious has turned the AFL into a business he must pursue economic growth first and foremost. They are now in a position where they feel obliged to compromise the integrity of the game to further and further extents every year to make more and more money each year. This is...

    Opinion Is this the real life?

    That is right. This is not even a Hawthorn thing for me. I love the AFL (not the commission obviously, but the sport itself). To all those who keep saying that it is not the Hawthorn way to complain, they need to realise that this is not just about Hawthorn. This is about highlighting a massive...

    Mega Thread Trading, Drafting & General Cattle Rustling Part III

    I like Seaby based on his 2011 form but I don't know enough about him to really have an opinion on it. Trust the club to make the right call. But just generally happy with mature aged recruits this off-season. I can see how people would get sick of every name that gets thrown up, people getting...

    Mega Thread Trading, Drafting & General Cattle Rustling Part III

    I think it is because a lot of people realise that we are in a premiership window and that mature recruits will help us more than draftees next year. I think the club realises that too. Seaby would give us ruck depth which is a little bit then as it is now. Whether it is Seaby or someone else a...

    Opinion Is this the real life?

    I don't think many people do question it, and up until now I haven't seen the media question it at all. But I agree it is unlikely that the media will keep it in the spotlight.

    Opinion Is this the real life?

    Finally, an article genuinely questioning the ethos behind the fixture. A must read. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/the-fixture-is-in-20121103-28rfz.html

    Surprising, he played quite well in a few games last year when Mumford was out.

    When did he do a fitness test for Port? Post 2012 season or years ago? I just hadn't heard about that.
