This guy sounds a bit like the Dawks board version of one of someone we have here

Was great today. Naysayers will point to some of his turnovers but he's far from the only one in the side coughing it up. His intercepting, contest and 1v1 work was all excellent. Pretty clear he needs more time playing together with Logue given they both like to float across contests and...

Bergman hasn’t put a foot wrong today, no way he should be dropped

We’re not going to make 4+ changes after a win lads. Goldy will come in for an injured Xerri and someone like Stevo (minimal impact yesterday) will come out for Corr/Dawson for positional needs vs. a much bigger Freo forward line Calls for Turner, Scott to be dropped are wild reading. Both...

Swear I saw him at training this morning with that bleached hair

Here's what I saw when I was down there today - overall a good vibe with everything seemingly being simplified in terms of structures and ball movement for this season. These notes were all taken live as I watched on so they're all immediate, instinctive thoughts and judgements. Have at it you...

Just wrapped up here at Arden St, got a heap of live notes to come later. No full match sim but still plenty to mention.

Cue the melts

I think it's really difficult to paint a picture of the 22 for next year, with so many unknowns around who Clarko is going to favour and the approaching cliffs of certain players. For example: As much as we all love Cunners, is he going to be the same player he was? Fingers crossed he is...

Don't know how people can complain about that. Worst forward line in the league adds two electric forwards.

Wardlaw is the most complete mid in the draft and an excellent athlete we can choose to replace - you guessed it - the complete mid who excelled athletically that we just traded to Alberton. Don't make another Selwood-type mistake and pass on him because of some injuries in his U18 season...

I loved the "Jackson Callow is one of the best prospects in the draft" call. So great that he didn't get picked up until the second round of the mid-season draft.

Will put my hand up and say that I was wrong on this one. I wrote a big post here when he got drafted at how smart a footballer he was, and how he'd use clever skills to overcome physical shortcomings at junior level. That just hasn't translated to the AFL a lot of the time so far in his career...

I can't believe people are actually reading into the colour of the hat the bloke happened to be wearing when accosted by cameras

That'd be a first

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Kingy was shocking this morning. Kane was hardly any better, but Kingy came across as just defending his mate Luff no matter what Kane said. Trainwreck of a segment from both of them.

He's not going anywhere. Think of it from his manager's perspective. Cam started the year in bad form and has really come back into it in the past month or so. We'll be a better side in the second half of the year; so far, we've played 6 of the top 8 teams + Bulldogs in ninth, including all of...

Marty Hore deserves a spot on the list, AFL standard for sure

At the ground. Lazzaro been excellent all day, best on in that shortened quarter and probably after QT for me

If his disposal is an issue as has been written I don't see the club being too keen on making him play half back. Sure JHF plays FWD/MID early, but think about the midfield mix for the next couple of seasons; LDU, Thomas, Phillips, Simpkin, Powell, Greenwood, Jed, Cunnington, JHF, with...

Another inside mid? I understand the BPA philosophy but at some point we really have to address the defence. I just don't see this happening after going with Horne-Francis at 1 given the plethora of young inside mids we already have on the list

I'd be surprised if we used those two picks at this stage. Seems like this is all set up to be on traded to St. Kilda in the Xerri deal. Also don't think we'd gamble on bidding on Darcy at 1. Daicos perhaps, but not sure on Darcy

This is nowhere near as bad as a lot here are making it out to be - pending what we do with 42 + 47, of course. Saints need points this year for their two academy prospects. We're already in negotiations over Xerri. 42 + 47 is equal to around 27 on points as someone here posted. We may ship...

Not how it works. I believe it would be two state-league players that don't get picked up in the draft? Happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgable, but think that's far too big of a loophole for the AFL to allow. Pick 1 stays with us no matter what. Horne-Francis runs out in blue and...

Fingers crossed for that sweet sweet FA compo

Dumont will be the only FA left at this rate

I like this idea too, think this is a good way to use cap space when you've historically had trouble luring free agents with said cap space. He's also got 5 years left now (not 6) - still a long, long contract but slightly less daunting. I also think a change of scenery could really help...

Ford has played two games. Calm down.

Hawks fans would be aggravated at Will Day becoming Kade Simpson? Jesus, good luck to the next young players they draft. You cannot possibly be upset at a youngster being projected to be a 300+ game BnF winner (who won the BnF in a team that made a Semi Final, before anyone says that they were...

Hope he's not too badly hurt, was good again today and will continue to get better Continuing to pump games into him at such a young age (still only 19!) will only help his development
