    Player Watch #29: Will Phillips [Part II] - Extends to End of 2025

    Doesn't look too high to me. Looks lower than Darren Jarman's and he was about as good a kick as I can remember .

    WT actual F How brazen are they now? Openly defying the (soft) salary cap - arranging a big media event to announce it. Al Capone would blush at the arrogance of it. But crickets from the AFL and from the 1000+ parasites ("journalists") who cover the game. Bloody hard game to follow sometimes.

    Autopsy Sydney Legacy in Grand Finals continues 10 goal loss to the Lions

    100% this. Tactically, it was such an obvious failing on Saturday, yet I haven't heard a single pundit mention this issue. I make it 3 GFs now (14, 22, 24) that Sydney have invited the opposition to play their A game. The Hawthorn, Geelong and Brisbane sides have 1 thing in common - their A...

    Oppo Camp 2024 Finals Discussion (other games)

    Neale is definitely the cleanest player since Mitchell. They just swoop in - one grab the ball - and either slip a quick handball to a teammate, or put on an evasive maneuver and then dispose of it effectively. Everyone raves about the power midfielders who can burst from stoppage, but you...

    I suspect you don't know what a priority pick is. None of the North players you listed were priority picks. The closest is Duursma, who was acquired as a compo pick for Mackay (pick 3 pushed out to 4). All the others were from finishing way down on the ladder (and 1 of Wardlaw/Sheezel from a...

    Autopsy Hawthorn pipped at the post by Port Adelaide

    As disappointing as the loss was - last night's game will be the game of the finals for me. A throwback to how finals used to be played when I was growing up (sans the dirty hits). Proper finals pressure and seriously desperate tackling - players having a fraction of the usual time to think and...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Jack Ginnivan!

    I didn't realise this had taken place. Very pleased to hear it. Ginnivan behaved like a (selfish) smart-arse in the lead up to the game and didn't back it up on the field - his opponent was close to BOG and he was poor overall (and noticeably weak in a few contests). People talk about DeGoey as...

    Forgive the intrusion, but as impressive as Draper and others are, I really think Langford is the perfect pick for the Roos. He compliments your midfield perfectly. Says he models himself on the Bont and you can actually see it when he plays. Frankly, he's more aggressive and physical than the...

    I wouldn't try too hard to interpret this or any other pontification from Paul Roos. I'm betting the amount of time it took him to say it, was the same amount of time he spent contemplating it. Tosser.

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    Autopsy Round 7, 2024 : Hawks get pecked by Swans

    I think G: Midfield personnel and selection. Our big 3 midfielders are all physical, inside players - Nash, Newcombe and Worpel - and they are all ordinary on the outside, to say the least. Personally, I really value inside players, but playing all 3 together is a recipe for long-term failure...

    Toast All hail the Chief. New AFL legend inductee!

    Quite possibly - although Franklin, Rioli and Burgoyne would rate higher on this board, of course. I think Matera is the fastest player I have ever seen. And the things he could do at top pace ... Definite correlation between the quality of an opposition player and how much I hate them - at...

    Toast All hail the Chief. New AFL legend inductee!

    ...why Dunstall has become greater than Brereton in retirement? Short answer - he didn't. If you rated Dermie higher than Jason at the time of Jason's retirement, you were in the minority. Jason had elevated above Dermie by virtue of consistency, sheer weight of goals and longevity. When you...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    ... i am not going to s**t on North for hesitating paying that cost for Mckay. I feel the same. There's plenty wrong with North, but not matching a deal for a want-away player - who is hardly a star of the game - for such an early pick - was a sensible decision. From what I read at the time, it...

    Can't laugh over the Shinbeggers wanting their coach to have 3 years, when we're in the same boat of being rubbish. I tend to agree. The arrival of Clarko at North + the assistance package has people queuing up to take potshots at them. Understandable, but it does mean wading through a torrent...

    Game Day Round 6, 2024: North v Hawks, 4pm Marvel

    Very confident today. Expect us to outmuscle North around the ball. Slight concern on our forward line kicking a winning score - but the bar shouldn't be too high this week.

    Preview Round 6, 2024: North v Hawks, 4pm 21st April, Marvel Stadium

    I'm bullish, given that its North and given that we are under so much scrutiny. Expect us to be genuinely hard at the contest in response to last week, and that should be enough to absolutely roll over the Kangas (whose toughest player is a kid - Wardlaw - and he is out this week). Wouldn't be...

    Toast All hail the Chief. New AFL legend inductee!

    Hail to the Chief! My favourite player of all time. The most dependable forward ever to play the game - sustained excellence allied with consistent effort and selflessness. I was truly lucky to grow up watching him play. And he always went out of his way to credit the likes of Platten and...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Josh Ward. Extends to 2025!

    Completely agree. Ward is very clearly a true onballer by nature. The main reason he was a top 10 draft pick was his ability around the stoppages. Not his ability as a wingman. Not as a flanker. I can understand the club's handling of him (playing him on the outside) in his first couple of...

    100%. Happy for Pendles to be washed up and the Pies to slide quickly down the ladder, but ... he had 3 or 4 handballs to teammates into space that were absolutely next level - and a couple of turns to create space that few can manage. (He did also mess up a few times, admittedly)...
