I think that it is interesting that much has been discussed and debated about our midfield this year. Most supporters seem to have agreed that or main deficiencies appear to have been addressed (the addition this year of Nash, Bramble, Newcombe and the recent draft haul which looks highly...

Not much has been said of this but did everyone catch the arrogant blatant hip and shoulder Franklin gave CJ before I think the start of the game? CJ responds by a brilliant tackle and holding the ball of Franklin and being close to BOG. To top it all off Frost destroyed Franklin in probably his...

It pains me to write this as growing up, I idolised Terry Wallace when he was playing for Hawthorn. We all know his history as a coach but two recent articles by him have really made me cringe. Last week we declared that the Hawthorn job was his for the taking - I call absolute bull$hit, we took...

Not a lot has been said about this kid, but I gotta say I really rate this kid. From the little I have seen of him, he is as hard as a cats head and apparently has a massive tank. Was drafted as a mid fielder but played a fair bit off half back flank this year before he injured his shoulder...

So basically I came out about a month a go and informed everyone that I had a very good source who confirmed that Lynch was going to Richmond. I was further informed that he had chosen richmond a loooong way out and also shared this. I had the audacity to question Topiary and said that whoever...

Damien Barrett reporting on sliding doors that he is very confident that Cyril will be playing afl again. Coupled with rumours that Cyril has had a falling out with Kennett suggest to me that something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Surely he wouldn’t play again for one of QLD sides ? With...

Just watching box hill get smashed by North Melbourne at Werribee. Game is eerily similar to when North belted us earlier in the year. Have we overrated our list ( Clarkson saying to kennet early this year that we can win the flag??? In less than a half if footy I’ve watched O’Brien and brand...

Langford- can’t kick, low footy iq, has become a liability Whitecross tries hard but not Afl standard. Not the same player since two knee reco’s O’Brien lacks intensity. Can’t take contested marks and goes missing for far too long. Not AFL standard never will be Borderline Frawley. See...

Watching Box Hill getting belted by Coburg tigers raises a few question marks on a few of our Hawthorn listed players. For what it's worth here's my opinion on which players will or won't make it at AFL level. Ollie Hanrahan. In the immortal words of Bert Newton - "I like the boy" Seems to...

I've seen enough in just one quarter. Kid has simply got it. Looked like a first round draft pick instead if a pick 74. Graeme Wright you are a goddam genuise!

Picture a hand, all fingers forming a clenched fist bar the middle finger pointing right at you That is all...

Seriously after today there is no doubt about it. Hardwick cannot come and say " how incredibly proud he is of their efforts " etc. something seriously wrong with the leadership group and I reckon it starts with Cotchin..

1. Roughy beating his skin cancer into remission and being named Captain 2. Tom Mitchell. What a gun! Contested beast of a midfielder who makes great decisions. Just need another one like him who can break lines ( a fit JOM perhaps?? ) 3. The rise of Ryan Burton. This potentially elite player...

Just announced on sen, he has done his hammy again - second time this preseason. Not looking good for the kid

News just in is that my boy Shoenmakers is finally back on the track and seemingly over his groin injuries. Clubs injury list has as 2-3 weeks away. For mine he is crucial to our forward structure heading into the finals. I like TOB but he still a fair way off being a consistent key position...

I have bagged the crap out this guy for weeks and tonight he was back to his best. I'm sorry mate I obviously know SFA about football. Great game and good to see the old Hill back - Go Hawks!

Was playing WAFL last year, and this year has slotted right into the Bulldogs backline and looks to be a future star backmen in the making. Took 15 marks yesterday and I lost count of how many were contested. Kudos to the Bulldogs recruiting staff on this player. From memory, was not rated or...

Thought he was a bit stiff last week. Must be close for yesterdays performance though. Not sure if Caleb Daniel is still eligible though, if so had a really good game as well so should be a close call.

Went and saw the great man for final time last night and was totally blown away. Probably the most spiritual concert I have ever been to. Wilson really struggles to sing live these days but the audience didn't care. We know what he has been through and we all know how great his voice used to...

Just finished watching the first season - 13 episodes. Wasn't overly interested in it until I saw that Ben Mendelson had one of the lead roles. Absolutely loved and easily the best the thing Mendelson has ever done (including Killing them Softly) Mendelson absolutely steals ever scene he is in...

I am fanatic Beatles and Beach Boys fan and have been mulling over this for about 20 years now. In my early 20's I felt that Sgt Pepper was superior to Pet sounds. Having listened to Sgt Pepper recently in its entirety I've swung the other way and think that Pet Sounds has it covered by a mile...

Must say I was a bit reluctant to watch another show about Pablo Escobar initially and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this series. Very well acted and with most scenes shot in Columbia it came across as very real life and authentic. What went on during Escobar's reign of terror is...

Has elite speed - 2.88 secs for 20 metres. 10.03 for 3 k so elite tank. Rtaed in top ten for repeat 25 metre sprints. Is related to Cyril so we know that he can play. Does anyone have an idea of where he is rated - didn't seem to be rated prior to combine. Do his results know push him into the...

I can't help but feel that the footy karma gods have spoken with our mighty team winning their third GF in a row. I've decided to list the following things that have happened in the past 2-3 yrs which seem to suggest that the footy karma gods have spoken.... 2015 1. James "golden boy" finally...

Officially being released next Thursday the 25th. Reviews from US have been extremely positive so far. I'm still a bit sceptical on John Cusack playing Brian Wilson in his early forties. Hope his profile and unique mannerisms don't distract me from the role he's trying to play. Paul Giammati...

Can't believe that I am starting a post about a journalist but i've had it with MR and now switch off whenever I see him on TV or hear him on the radio. Breaking point for me where two things that happened recently. 1. I put up with his blatant cheerleading of Hird during the drugs saga but now...

Hate to be a pessimist but young Mitch looked a million bucks in his first NAB cup game for GC. 25 Possessions and dominated the contested possessions against the cats. I know that the club were reluctant to trade him and and couldn't guarantee him a spot in the midfield but again its looking...

Ok my first crack at a training report so I thought that I would report on some more left of field things and let the more astute judges report on tarining drills, set plays etc 1. Andrew Russell. Typically for Hawthorn, Russell flys well under the radar whilst Darren Burgess from PA is talked...

Really rate this kid, really think that once he builds his tank up he will become a Brad Sewell mark 2 with better marking and goal kicking skills. Quite a few people on this site seem a little too willing to package him up for a mid teen draft pick or in a combo to land Jonathon O'Rourke. There...

Unfortunately the more I see the more I feel this trade has paid off more favourably for St Kilda. I completely understand why why we gave up so much for Macca. With Baileys premature retirement and the first option of luring Mumford falling through, we desperately needed a big bodied proven...
