Again, I am not going to name the player involved. I thought with the clues I have given, it is fairly obvious who the player is, it was not my intention to smear multiple players, however I can confirm it is not Damien Cupido. Hawkas1988 is correct, the player involved has had a history of...

Not going to name the player for obvious reasons, retired player's club has won multiple premierships in the last 15 years.

Rumour from a good source, that a premiership CHB from the last decade who is known to have kept ordinary company in the past, is currently under police investigation for stalking an old girlfriend. Said footballer who is married and has children, has had an AVO taken out, has ignored the AVO...

80 and 90s Hawks would beat them pretty comfortably IMO. Today's Hawks have got the better coach, and it is a different game, but for talent alone, you can't beat Matthews, Knights, Tuck, Brereton, Dunstall, Mew, Langford, Ayres, Jarman, Platten, Allan, Pritchard, Buckenara etc. Have...

Tom Mitchell for mine, Jaeger O'Meara will be too expensive if reports about his price are believable. As good as JOM may be, he is injury prone, and I wouldn't want the Hawks to waste cash on a player who can't get on the park. Having said that, if JOM does get on the park consistently, he...

Bennell is very talented, but I would rather Carlisle or Kruezer (if fit). You can always pick up a good midfielder in the draft, but ready made key position backmen and ruckmen are a lot harder to come by. Carlisle can be a ready made replacement for Lake, Kruezer for Hale. I would back our...

Vivid memories of him playing for the Big V in the 1980s, never played a bad game, was an absolute champion.

Very talented player, but I hope the Hawks don't pick him up. Can't run out a game, has questionable off field habits and friends (if the rumours are correct), and IMO would not be worth the $600 to 700k a year he would be asking.

Gun midfielder, should have won a Brownlow.

Cooney is great player, but he is ageing with dodgy knees. Would rather they trade for some young midfielders from GWS or Gold Coast. If they don't regenerate the midfield in this draft, there have'nt got long left as a premiership contender.

Met Steve Lawrence and Fraser Gehrig at a function recently. Steve was not what I expected, very nice bloke, extremely humble and quiet. Fraser was a great bloke, funny, respectful, and has a lot of time for anyone coming up to him. Would love to know where they ended up afterwards, because...

Not a big fan of Mike Sheahan, but I thought it was compelling tv. As someone whose family has been through something similar, it can be hard to talk about, and even harder to relive. Schwabby handled himself with style, dignity and grace, and my estimation of the man has gone through the roof.

Insipid performance. Although he has not got the cattle, Mark Neeld must be sacked. For a club, that was a powerhouse in the 1950s, 1960s and was extremely competitive in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, that was a deplorable performance. Neil Craig for coach.

By all reports, Anderson is supposed to be gun. Tough, inside midfielder, could help out Mitchell, Sewell etc. Not sure about Spangher, would have liked Gilham to stay just in case Lake or Gibson are injured.

A Richmond supporter talking about recruiting, is like Nero giving advice about firefighting. Their recruiting has been inept for the last 25 yrs. The list of spuds who have donned the yellow and black is neverending. Fleming, Connors, Hilton, Dragacevic, King, Tambling, Fiora, Zantuck are...

If the rumours are right, Boumann is gone, Kyle Cheney might be in a bit of trouble as well. If Clinton Young wants to leave that is fair enough, but would be disappointed to lose him via a trade. With Lake coming in, maybe Gilham will be traded out.

A young inside midfielder would be ideal, someone to take the pressure off Sewell and Mitchell, maybe Savage could fill that role. Another defender would be great, maybe make a play for Mitch Brown from WC.

I think in this day and age if he has 10 shots and bags 5 goals, that's acceptable. Its part and parcel of what we get with him, because he is such a freak he is either going to kick 2.10 or 12.0.

Quality bump :thumbsu: Still a way to go has Tomahawk, not even in the top 5 forwards in the AFL

Was a champion player in an ordinary era for Melbourne. What people don't realise he kicked over 400 plus goals, but played nearly half his career as a backman/utility plugging holes when required. Also his body gave up on him, and he could have had a much better career if his body had held up...

Re: hamish mclachlan and wikipedia - a must read for every footy fan - now going nuts on the interwe Awesome thread :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu: Would love it if Spud Frawley got wind of this, Hamish would be a shoo-in for the Golden Flute :D

Aker is a moron of the highest order. You don't speak ill of the dead, regardless of whether they were a good or bad person.

I don't have a problem with an election being called, football club boards should be held accountable to their members. If there is an impressive candidate, who thinks he/she can do a better job than the current administration and board, then that candidate should be entitled to stand. Sadly...

Pretty happy with the outcome, Renouf tried hard but his disposal was pretty ordinary. Only worry is that if Bailey gets injured again, we are vulnerable.

If I were the Blues I would be assigning a minder to the young lad. If he is anything like his old man, he will tear the nightlife to shreds

St Kilda 04-10. With the talent they have had, and the picks in the draft, they should have won at least one flag.

Laughable that Richmond supporters are commenting on another club's culture and perceived lack of success. Richmond have played finals football twice in the last 20 yrs, made numerous recruiting and coaching mistakes, and there last premiership captain came off the interchange bench. Says it...

Great effort considering the injuries we have had this season. Makes you wonder what would have happened if we had a full list to play with.

I would reckon he is worth a chance, if fit, motivated and firing he would be the equal to any full forward in the league. Put him on a reduced contract, have strict behavioural clauses, (ie no drinking, gambling etc), make him attend counselling, could be an asset to club like Melbourne, Nth...

I think he is gone, I can't see him in our best 22. I was in favour of him being picked up by Hawthorn, because I thought he was a quality player at Melbourne, but from what I have seen of him this year, his disposal by foot is ordinary, and he can make poor decisions. Would be annoyed if...
