Shaun Burgoyne: at a weak club he could never play every position on the ground, win games off his own boot and be the ultimate big game player.
He's very lucky to be playing for Hawthorn.
I've stolen this from the HS.
Anyone see who's last?

A couple of strategies we used this year have fascinated me. I'm not sure I know how they work, but they sure have worked brilliantly this year.
1. Fast Scoring: in several games, we have racked up 5, 6, up to 10 consecutive goals against opposition teams. Nearly every time, we turned the game...
Okay, we've praised the team and the coaches, but let's face it, we weren't perfect..
Now it's time to be hypercritical, I mean, its BigFooty and we have to find something wrong:
1. Sam Mitchell: when you kick for goal, don't diddle about, pick the left or the right and have a shot, man. Go...
The Round 3 game against Collingwood is on Foxtel right now.
A couple of observations:
1. Commentators falling over themselves early to tell us how brilliant is every single Pies player. One player, who I've never heard of, is described as "always makes good decisions", before he disappears...
With Essendon to be banned from the AFL, Box Hill is the most apt replacement:
1. Long established club with a large eastern suburbs base and a strong administration
2. Great team colours - even if they clash with ours, we'll understand
3. No drug history - never had any "chemical advisors"
4...
1. Brett Kirk: so I can be paid for being at the footy and saying the bleeding obvious. What an easy way to earn $100,000 per year.
2. Mick Malthouse: so I can sit in the commentary box and keep my mouth shut.
I hope you enjoyed your walk of shame with the Stewards.
It was funny to watch, and the send off you got was great to hear.
You see, to some degree, I can accept all of these:
1. You and your mates have a skinful before you get to the game;
2. You continue to drink 10 or 15 light beers...
How does Paul Roos get away with the ugly footy his team plays?
Do Sydney people know that there is more to footy than ball-up after ball-up, 15 players around every stoppage, low scoring and ugly, ragged defensive football?
It is a disgrace, and how he is considered to be a good coach is...
Franklin is playing for West Coast - it's on Fox 3 RIGHT NOW!
Its Bianca Franklin, Buddy's older sister, and she's playing for the West Coast Fever netball team - on Foxtel Channel Fox 3 at this very moment.
If you turn it on, see how hard it is to not yell...
What is it with Melbourne Storm Queenslanders?
So many serious injuries, and all to Origin or potential Origin players:
Antonio Kaufusi
Billy Slater
Michael Crocker
Greg Inglis
Dallas Johnson
Cooper Cronk
Thank God for Cameron Smith.

I thought I'd get in early, with the Drop Osborne Thread.
I mean, he's had another good game, with a couple of crucial goals, but he needs to be dropped.
He's played about 8 good games, with no turnovers or 50 metre penalties, but he needs to be dropped.
He plays it hard, either in defence...
Is anyone having trouble getting into Hawk Headquarters?
I've been trying all day, without success. And I'm getting desperate for my fix (of Hawk Headquarters!)
