I heard through a gage roads rep that they will be doing squealer and growler fills of full strength little dove at the footy but you have use the secret password

Seemed legit
First round draft pick from 2006 - has been cut from the Swans

Maybe some Swans fans can give us some more info as to the reason why, I remember from the U18's he was a hard...
Serious Question - 2 years on from that terrible teriible Sunday when Judd told Australia that he was going home.
Who would you rather at the club going forward

I haven't really given much thought to this, does seem to stay quite true. Despite all of the innovation & modern game plans it remains consistent that you need rucks & quality KP players to win flags.
In 06 we had...
Anybody see him looking a little uncomfortable after that kick in the last quarter - I really hope the OP isn't flaring up again as that 3rd quarter was absolutely excellent.
Structure of the team (using stats & excel)
Using the age of players in each premiership team from 2003 - 2008, using the age of the players at the time of the grand final.
Average age - 25.82 Years
Standard Deviation - 3.34 Years
N - 132
As you can see the squad approaches very close to a...
Plays his 50th game this week, 23 years old and is really starting to take on key roles for the team. 5 inside 50's and 3 assists on the weekend, once again becoming the blink and you will miss it guy inside traffic - all while maintaining 86% DE this year.
Despite having a low profile even...
Pick 'your man' - the guy who will lead the midfield to glory over the next few years.
I doubt you will find many Geelong threads from 2004 that would predict Bartel & Ablett going on to such great heights within 60 games so these threads can be good fun to bump up in a couple of years.
I...
At this late stage it looks very likely that NN will be a West Coast Eagle, thought I might make a summary/youtube type page for those who haven't seen him play.

Have a read of Franklin & what he was like pre draft & then compare the criticisms to Naitanui
Not saying that Nat will be the next buddy but try to understand where the recruiters & why they rate him so highly. Sure Nats not perfect yet but read through the profile & see what the Hawks were...
Could be a very well done marketing experiment if they manage to pull it off :thumbsu:
I think they said last week they were also going to give the first pick the #4 jumper, massive amount of hype & merchandise could be made from this...
Here we go,
Selection 1
Melbourne
Nick Naitanui – 201cm/95kg’s – right foot tall utility
Freakish Talent, hard at the ball & given full time training & preparation will be very versatile at AFL level. Set shot kicking & goal sense in general is well above average for somebody...
With your list turnover and development this year under Mark Harvey, for years I have been critical of your midfield, the lack of players being blooded and the continual trading of your draft picks for average players.
Now you actually have some young players playing well (Ibbo/Mayne, Palmer &...
On ABC Radio
Jack Watts
Nick Natanui
Daniel Rich
Jack Ziebell
No surprise about Ziebell - athletic, awesome foot skills and at 188cm, very good at the clearances and off any flank will definitely be around the top 5.
Also mentioned Tyrone Vickery who is definitely moving up the recruiters...
Hey Hawks fans,
Last year or maybe 06 there was a very very interesting post that reported the results of (i think) the AGM and had some very interesting information about the way you have rebuilt the list over the past couple of years by Chris Pelchen.
Something along the lines of starting...
They might not be match fit, experienced or have the size & strength they need just yet but bloody hell there are some good signs.... in patches.
These are the guys I have a very solid :thumbsu: in terms of long term AFL quality from me
Harrow Thunderbolt - Loving what he brings to the table...
Well done to Tim 'The Harrow Thunderbolt' Houlihan for a bloody good debut game
Article on him from his running days

:thumbsu:
Safe to say he hasn't set the world on fire at Richmond & was a big west coast fan pre draft, was pick 8 and definitely has talent but really doesn't look suited to victorian football so far.
should be a trade target IMO
Who will get the job after Glass retires - Glass is 27 tomorrow and we will probably need to start breaking in a guy for the long term job over the next 2 years if it's going to be a smooth transition. You never know when a knee injury could derail a career.
Candidates
Beau Wilkes - 194cm...
Mitch Clark - Brisbane
Josh Kennedy - West Coast
Travis Cloke - Collingwood
Scott Gumbleton - Bombers
Rank them both on potential & on production
Clark most potential, Cloke most productive, Gumby most injured and Kennedy the best mix of all 3 ;)
Where the hell were they for the past 7 years, very little delivery yet were still making the most of their opportunities.
Kennedy - very promising game across half forward
Chad Jones - played his standard game of lead/mark/kick from 45+
McKinley - Couple of great marks and the hand ball to...
Not much but Ben Mckinley is often criticized for being an undersized power forward compared to the likes of Pavlich, Riewoldt, Brown, Lloyd.
I don't care
He plays tall and attacks the ball and is smart enough with his positioning and leads with as much confidence and aggression (and raw...
