    Twin Towers

    Have been looking for this phrase to appear in online media after the game, and have yet to see it. But it was all I could think of when Mitch Lewis started to come to life in the second quarter against the Cats, after O'Brien had started to get the Pussy's defence to notice him in a big way...

    Game Day Round 21: HFC vs Geelong

    I've always wanted to start a game day thread, sadly no time to write an intro given it's Friday, and I'm a mile behind my workload.... So it's that perennial Big Time match-up: The curious mix of the great unwashed, and high-brow private school boys (AKA the GFC) Vs. the greatest AFL show on...

    Roast Basil Zempilas

    I'm not in the habit of starting threads, let alone a thread on a media commentator. But after watching the Friday night game a couple of times, I'm wondering is there any chance that the Grand Final is going to be a Basil Zempilas free zone? I realise that he's usually involved in the WA games...

    Rebound

    No doubt the team is missing some zip in our ball movement with Birch and Suckling out. But why are we unable to react to the way Geelong midfield and forwards simply start running the other way once a high ball heads into our forward line, leaving us half baked on the turnover? Hard to...

    Moved Thread The best game in the world?

    How many times do people say this about our sport, and how the hell can anyone justify it anymore? As Glen Archer and others have pointed out ad-nauseum recently – if not for much of the last decade – no-one actually knows what the rules of our game are anymore. It seems like forever there's...

    Buddy's set shots

    Anyone else notice that Buddy seems to be spinning the ball again while walking in to take his set shots? This' got to be one of the best recipes for a poor kick at goal there is- the shot he kicked right across the face in the second half was a case in point. His accuracy during his...

    Not A Happy Team At Hawthorn

    Sure it's Gary Lyon, but he does have a fairly good analytical brain - and importantly he dishes out some hits that if true, probably need to be taken. Probably the most controversial aspect of this is the Hodge for captain push, and the mention of a Hodge/Clarkson altercation (doesn't sound...

    Where's Stewie?

    Been a tough old week to be a Hawks/AFL fan. Assuming Stewie Dew is fit, I'm gutted (no pun intended) that he's not in the side for a farewell game. I love this bloke, warms my bloody heart to see him playing for us. He was as big (again no pun intended) a part of us winning against the cats...

    Cyril Rioli is better than G. Ablett Jr. was in his second year - by some margin.

    Lot of talk about Cyril Vs. Ablett in another thread, and I'd agree with the consensus that he's not near him at the moment. But... Lots of people seem to pigeon hole him as a flashy indigenous footballer - but that's pretty much summing him up by the freakish goals he kicks and his skin...

    ThorpE or Dowler to play the O'Keefe role?

    Making the rather large assumption that Mitch is injury free from here on in, it's hard to imagine why he can't develop into the kind of player O'Keefe is - big engine, strong mark, leads up to the wings to give us what we've not really had from a forward in a while. Ditto for Beau - especially...

    Whoo Hoo Crawf goes again!!

    Crawf deserves his own thread here, I'm stoked that his knees are good enough to get him through another season. Lest we forget his hard running in the 3rd quarter of the GF, here's to a repeat performance in 2009! We're one club, let's all get behind him next year, regardless of views on...

    Nick Holland on SEN ....

    Big Nick was discussing Sheehan's top 50, and mentioned that Buddy had kicked 2 goals in the GF when hawthorn were well on top. What the, they were both important goals that he kicked with ridiculous ease - one to put us back in front, one the all important first after like 9 minutes in the...

    Ellis in the square

    Was just great tonight - handling the traffic with poise, and looking like he belongs there. Went off with the sore ribs, and came back on to kill it around the clearances. He started a long way back from those two guys at the pies, but he's caught up in a real hurry. Might still be very...

    Pi@#$d at C7 over the non-live coverage tonight...?

    Give them a call on (03) 96977777 to vent your spleen like I just did. Apologies if this' been done to death....

    Another speculative Judd thread in case you haven't read the rest of them.

    Since there are only 10 or so more on the first page, here's one more. Because no-one ever gets tired of rambling single subject speculation, here-say, and hair brained trade hypothises...

    Are there enough Boyle out ThorpE in threads on the board?

    I can only see two on the first page, is this actually enough?
