Yep - debuted in Rd 5 last year. However, like many young players, despite getting a Rising Star nomination in Rd 17, he was dropped to Box Hill for Rd 22/23. It happens.

Thanks Wierd Al (Word Crimes)

I’ll have “Things That Are Never Going to Happen” for $200 thanks Alex.

On BigFooty - yes. The pitchforks have been well and truly out for him here. At match committee - not even a hint. He was confirmed to be playing injured last season, rested for Rds 13-14 and came straight back in. Then put on ice after Rd 20.

FWIW - he’s never played at Box Hill, nor been dropped.

I just think he sat down with the coaches at the end of the year and they told him what he needed to cut out of his game, and he has gone ahead and done that. Ethan Phillips being added as a SSP (only after Blanck went down) in mid Feb 2024, would have nothing to do with a discussion held and...

No they don't. Time on Ground for our 7 forwards last weekend was Chol - 85% (68 / 80 minutes) - so 12 minutes bench time for the whole game Gunston - 86% - similar to Chol Ginnavin - 76% - but plays much higher - benched for 20 minutes the whole game Hardwick - 81% McDonald - 78% - similar to...

In our 3-peat we had 8 guys rotating through the middle / wings / half fwd or half back. When we have the depth it may mean a HFF and HBF is occupied by one of those 8 “mids” (including Ward)

So CJ gets a scan after training and it’s a minor quad strain. Whereas Breust plays 3 games straight (and looks off) and then we discover he has been carrying a groin all the time. Why do a scan for some and not others?

At least he didn’t roll his ankle. 👍

It’s all about…the broadcast

A “full blown investigation into umpiring? Who do you think we are? The Greens and the cross-bench in the Senate? The Auditor-General? The ACCC? Who runs this full blown investigation? Who delivers the Report? To whom? 🤣

Sam’s presser in a nutshell. We had a ‘mare last week and everyone took it on board. Our midfield is very much a work in progress but it helps when the experienced guys get their hands on the pill. Ward is a long term Hawk who knows that, and did really well in the VFL. We played another...

Larkey hit the ball before anything else happened. It’s clear from the second camera angle. You also see his hip connect with Finn’s ribs / armpit. Yes - Finn does get knocked over heavily, but the point of contact is below the shoulders and after Larkey has contested (successfully) the footy...

Genuine point of difference - not many rucks can grab it and flush it 60 metres on the turnaround. He’s getting more versatile week by week

Worps has dropped off a bit from personally a great start (when we weren’t going well). We don’t need him firing to win games. That’s okay - it doesn’t mean he isn’t part of the crew at present.

Paper mache. It’s gone way beyond a joke.

If you need to be off the ground for 10 minutes a qtr, then you aren’t ready for AFL footy

Frosty consuming the feedback from all and sundry.

I think thank goodness you got the footy and they didn’t. He went head to head with LDU and won that contest comfortably. 32 disposals, 8 tackles, 10 clearances

I mentioned this recently, and its bears repeating. We sit 1-5 after 6 rounds with a percentage of 77.1% In 2023 we sat 1-5 with a percentage of 64.5% We have had a far worse run with injury. Stop the melts and have faith please.

Apparently their young midfield has more upside than ours! 😉 Pity their coach is washed up and they owe him $3m

Guaranteed. And deservedly so.

Can one of his many critics here please remind the rest of us when Sam is supposed to be dropped to Box Hill as “depth” because we can’t go forward with him?

We have won 3 quarters in a row. Nothing about this is abysmal.

He spoilt the ball first. It’s not a free kick.

“YES WE CAN” Four points and a big shot of confidence thank you.

They were morons to sign him up for 5 seasons. If anyone was cooked in the AFL it was Al Clarkson.

….plus McDonald fisted it first.
