15 min mark of 3rd quarter- Doogs loops a handball into traffic- he never takes his eyes off it, grabs it, looks to kick corridor, no options. Has a cheap handball option in Nas but sees Membrey out of the corner of his eye and fashions a kick to the wing, all whilst three opponents bearing down...

and Coffield...

There's definitely something about him. Incredible hands. Has composure and evasiveness. Kicking ranges from excellent to lazy / almost missing his boot. Tackling has improved but still misses the odd howler. But ultimately he needs to get his running to an AFL standard or all the positives are...

I had great seats for the 2008 Hawks prelim (Rob Harvey's last game) and was sat next to a rather elderly lady who did literally nothing except scream at Hayden Kennedy all night, even before he'd bounced a ball. She paid virtually no attention the the game and completely ruined what little...

Given our supposed cap space it's ripe for a gentleman's agreement. Assuming there are no offers for McKay that trigger Band 1, and we are in the position to make one, and he is happy to come, and the AFL cave on the Sanders/NGA situation (all big assumptions), would you rather: Pick 3, ~Pick...

IMO Geelong were the best team in the comp by as significant a margin as we've seen in a while. As has been documented, at the start of the year they did away with their coaches' line duties and instead aligned everyone to a team-first philosophy, so they no longer needed to worry about the KPIs...

IMO Clark+9 for 3 is no good (3 becomes 4 and everyone from Sheezel down has question marks) but if North really want him I would love us to roll the dice and swap future first rounders instead. Could turn out worse than Clark+9 for 3, but back to back spoons, a percentage of 55 and a poor...

That's one way of framing it. The only thing more overrated than draft picks themselves (outside the top few) is referring to them by their round. The other reading is we are giving up pick 9, a pick hopefully in the teens, a player allergic to gut running, and a flight risk who may have far...

If the North/Port JHF deal is stalling I hope we're dangling some De Goey dollars in front of Connor Rozee. His second half of the year was as good as anyone's IMO. And a childhood Saints supporter of course. Also need to do all we can to swap (gamble) future firsts with North given that Harley...

The thing with the numbers is the they are significantly lagged. Nobody hanging out on Bondi yesterday will test positive for COVID-19 today. The time between contracting the virus to becoming symptomatic, getting tested and finding out results must be about 10 days on average? So the increases...

There is actually: 17.12 OTHER A Free Kick shall be awarded against a Player who: (f) intentionally lifts a Player from the same Team to contest the football;

Marshall out not ideal but if he had to miss a game a Sauceless Adelaide would be it. Gives his body a rest

On current output, I would take Kelly, Coniglio, Whitfield, Ward, Greene, Cameron, Haynes or Williams over Shiel. No wonder GWS' cap is tight. It is easy to get seduced by "outside" players like Gaff and Shiel because they often have the ball in space. Less immediate pressure, time to carry the...
