    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    Think I can see why he slipped now (maybe a bit OTT in terms of how far). The pick up in the speed of the game has really changed what is requried of pretty much all players now. If you lack speed and endurance, you are bit of a liability re pushing back and forward and breaking away from the...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    Nah its not OK. You are basically calling someone a liar. If the players had an decent AFLPA it would be on like donkey kong. What the AFL is saying is that the integrity of the player matters less than the umpire. So that in any other work place and see where it leads. But nah this is AFL...

    Reasons for disenchantment / lower attendance

    Seing Butters get found guilty when the umps mike magically failed at the critical moment. Yeah I want to be part of this BS; NOT! These umpires are making horrendous calls, influening the outcomes of games and nothing is being done about it. AFL need to learn something, protect the game...

    How close are Hawthorn to a flag?

    They do not exist. Who can break a line in your side? Who is precise by foot? You have a vanilla mid field. Gold Coast, Brisbane, Giants (how many did they have out?), Freo, all in front of you. You clowns are a bit like the Essendon crew under Sheedy, think your coach is a genius, he has...

    How close are Hawthorn to a flag?

    Lack genuine hurt factor. Yeah Watson does his bit but he is not a mid. Very vanlia in there, they love to rate Day but he hardly gets on the park. They have over estimated Mitchell and thought they could cut corners. Nope, when it comes to the crunch you need elite mids and hig half forward...

    There midfield really is garbage. Outside of WM who hurts you? Good midfilds win finals, they don't have it.

    Rumour Laptop X - multiple AFL players and officials caught in videos of drug and sex acts?

    Nah, they don't blab but they tell those close to them what they are working on and those people then do the old, 'you can't pass this on but'. Had those sort of reports many times. I have some footage of the owner of the lap top being arrested (any excuse to use this video)\

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    Told you it was. Clubs may have to revist their draft process re who they listen to.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    I am a bit of am optimist re the ability to overcome athletic short comings, body is amazing re how it can adapt and change. As such when it comes to endurance, you can improve it a lot, not to the elite level, some people are just naturals in the same way some can just run fast. Genes and all...

    Scandal Tom Silvagni convicted of rape

    Herald Scum going very hard. They do not like being denied their 'story'. Talk bouncing around that the victim was offered a lot of cash to go away, sound a bit off to me but its out there.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    When tyring to build muscle you often have to bulk up first and then you trim the bulk and retain most of the strength. Its extremely hard for AFL type athletes to build strenght due to the amount of cardio. Lots of players come back from pre season 'bigger' but as the season goes on they lose...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    Well look at Ollies school and you might see a Hawthorn connection, head of coaching and performance is I believe Jason Burt. I assume he still has contacts at the Hawks. Anyway I ave said enough. Good luck (much as I hate to say it).

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    There was an issue that I will not go into. If clubs had bothered to get the back story they would have had a completely different view of things and the person behind it. I learnt very early in my buisness career to never assume you know what happened and always ask for each parties version...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    You arew comparing seaoned players to a kid who has just started. Harely Reid had the same problems and most before him had. There are the odd atheltic freaks who can just run but most have to build a tank and it takes time. In his case he had not committed to the AFL training regime until...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    Sigh, his running is not an issue. He was also as elite basketballer, last year he was a member of the Victorian U18 side that won the national title. As such he has only dedicated himself to AFL fitness in the last 12 months, so he has a few more years requried to build the tank. And due...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    Don't beleive the shit being thrown around, work ethic and attitude are fine. He had the choice of footy or basketball, chose AFL cos he loves the game. There is s story behind this attitude BS.

    Lol, he was an elite baskerballer that means he can go both ways and that is why his hands are so good.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves

    FWIW, I think this has the potential to become knows as the big steal. Ignore the shit floating around, cos that is what it is. Kid can play, has been a prodigy from then he was young. KB used to talk about him on his show as he played with his grandson.

    Live Event 2025 AFL Draft – Pre-season and Rookie drafts, 3pm Friday

    As far as I know definately but behind closed doors etc do they have issues I don't know about that showed up in testing/interviewing, dunno. I suspect that something popped up as 18 clubs to the same conclusion. Its pretty brutal, these are still kids maturity wise and having to deal with...

    Speed is in high demand along with foot skills. Even the talls need to have that burst of speed now. Without it you are pissing into the wind.

    The one I know has been a prodigy for some time and all of a sudden, no one wants him. Not sure what happened but WOW. Brutal stuff, its a highly valuable life lesson but one you would rather not experience.

    Live Event 2025 AFL Draft – Pre-season and Rookie drafts, 3pm Friday

    I know one of the overlooked who was rated. Honestly, if you don't know them and are not involved in the drafting process, you have NFI. Lots of devastated kids tonight and they are kids, so show some respect.

    Delisted Callum Ah Chee - Joins Adelaide via the PSD

    Crows have had a terrible trade period. They desperately needed run/carry/line breakers and got nothing. Think they have over rated their own list here, in reality they have a lot of solid types and could afford to shed a few that might have got things moving.

    Recommitted Zach Merrett [UFA 2027] - Wanted a trade to Hawthorn, but it didn't get done

    By the time most of these kids mature, you will be out of the window. That said, expect Hawks to take Ollie Greaves if he is there with their first. They tried to con the AFL and get him via their academy.

    Recommitted Zach Merrett [UFA 2027] - Wanted a trade to Hawthorn, but it didn't get done

    I get why Essendon stood their ground but end of the day its the wrong move for the club. Merrett will not be part of their next finals push, they appear a long way off. The picks they would have got would have allowed them to target young talent with a higher chance of sucess. Now they will...

    Herald son reporting Pies interested now. Heard elsehwere that Dees do not want to take Miochek as a free agent as it will cancel out the compo pick for Spargo who is North bound (woo hoo). So I would guess Oliver for Miocheck and some other stuff flowing the Dees way (maybe Pies take more of...
