    Dom Sheed 'on the verge of greatness'

    This bloke a tad optimistic?? SOMETIMES you get lucky enough to see a sportsman standing on the cusp of something special. That’s the place Dom Sheed is in now. On the eve of a new AFL season, the left-footer heads in brimming with confidence and ready to emerge as one of the game’s very...

    Great read from Campbell Brown on Sam Mitchell

    "Sam had hoped to be taken in the 2000 draft but was overlooked. After that, he sent a DVD of his highlights to all 16 clubs. Most clubs didn’t respond, but Hawthorn invited him down to its VFL affiliate, Box Hill, and he never looked back. When the senior players arrived at the club for my...

    Campbell Brown on Burgoyne

    Good read from Campbell on how he almost blew the deal that got Burgoyne to Hawthorn... "At the end of a disappointing 2009 season in which the Hawks missed the finals, coach Alastair Clarkson was looking to add some on-field polish to our playing list. He identified Shaun as the priority...

    Derby win meaningless??

    Article: bit.ly/1hFOp6j "It was billed as the most important Western Derby ever. But in the end it was meaningless. The Eagles had their sights set on Fremantle. Fremantle had their sights set on September – for three-and-a-half quarters at least. These were two teams with disparate thirsts...

    Campell Brown on Hawthorn v Essendon

    Always thought Brown was nuts. “It was always the first game I looked at on the fixture – to see when we were playing the Dons. I certainly had a hatred for Essendon on the field.” http://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/2015/06/25/hawthorn-v-essendon-inside-footys-fiercest-rivalry/ Great quotes from...

    Absence of Mackenzie and Brown a positive?

    I read this article on Tuesday, the latest in a slew of them around since our win over Richmond. (Who'd have thought, beating the powerhouse Richmond makes you a contender all of a sudden.) http://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/2015/06/22/eagles-premiership-contenders/ As difficult as it is to...

    Could Enright be the best back pocket ever?

    Chris Johnson was a really good player, but I'll always think poorly of him after he belted the Irishman in International Rules...

    Could Enright be the best back pocket ever?

    I know there's a tendency to talk up players from this era ahead of those in days gone by, but I really believe there's some merit to this argument. He's been an incredible player for a very long time. The best ever back pocket player? Now there’s a big statement, but it’s worth pondering. I...

    Judd's East Perth game - who was there?

    What was the crowd like mate? I'm kind of imagining a hushed awe :-D

    Judd's East Perth game - who was there?

    I feel an affinity with you HoneyBadger - Pat McGinnity my favourite player, although Liam Duggan is closing fast :-D
