Westy won 7 B&Fs..... Macrae is not even in the same conversation imo.

I was super impressed with Buss last week, if he plays another game or two like that he'll well and truly be in contention.

Libba didn’t play last time we played Weagles hence why we lost…. This week will be a different story trust me I’m a doctor

100% agree with all of this specially the part around the 4th 5th or 6th mid needing to perform a role for the team in other positions. Like you I feel Macca will play lots of footy this year and will play this week but I have no issue at all with Bevo making sure he’s fit and hungry.

I just don't get the negativity by some (not all) surrounding Gallagher. I thought his preseason was exceptional, he's been playing a midfield role all summer long to get as much exposure as he can as quick as he can. He was always well and truly in the mix for a wing role with Poulter/Baker and...

I don’t know why I’m surprised as this is BigFooty but seriously some of the over reaction and vitriol towards our club is laughable.

Typical media over reactions imo. One minute they’re saying we have a top four list and the next picking us to finish bottom half of the ladder. I’m bullish this season for multiple reasons but the biggest for me is that we’re definitely fitter and it will make a difference. Time will tell 😊

I thought it was interesting that Bevo said reputations matter when talking about some players having to adjust to the progression in the game. Was this a slight dig a Ross Lyon who believes reputations count for nothing? Or just differing philosophy?

I have no problems hand balling backwards when we have a person free. It’s the hand ball to the first person they see when under pressure (and sometimes with no pressure) that irks me. We did it a couple of times on Saturday night. Some players need to absorb the pressure better or just take...

I thought that was the best I’ve heard him in a long while. Helps when there’s a good journalist asking the questions?

That’s my worry when the pressure is on we’ll revert to bad habits. If you notice when Harmes has the ball he’s more inclined to go forward and not sideways or back. Just differing training/game styles between us and the Dees I guess.

So hard to select atm, I truly hope we get it right. Darcy is a huge headache he is simply to fcken good to play VFL however the balance yesterday was perfect imo so it’s him or Lobb and I can’t see them dropping Lobb (wish there was one more hitout before Rd1). Also think it comes down to one...

100% agree Scrag, he’s just starting to get rewarded for effort and the team is benefiting as a result. His last two weeks are a great starting point but there’s a lot of work ahead. Let him continue his growth as a small/mid forward and develop that chemistry with the other forwards and enjoy...

I've been impressed with the progress of Gags. Watched his closely last week in the first practice match, I was lucky enough to stand next to his dad (who happens to be a Hawks supporter or was). Fun fact the family thought he was heading to Adelaide as they showed the most interest and second...

I've standing outside the bank for 5+ months. I'm starting get worried haha....
