A list (lifted from Wikipedia) of all Rookies who have either played 100 Games or kicked 100 Goals.
The question.. Who is the best Ever?
Bolded are those I believe should be in the conversation
Michael Barlow
Nathan Bassett
Jarryd Blair
Mark Blicavs
Nathan Bock
Matthew Boyd - 3xBnF 3xAA...
Thinking about what Fagan has done Since he was hired in Oct 2016, he would have to be a good shot for Coach of the year this year, regardless of the final results.
He has galvanized the Lions, and turned around a bunch of talented but raw kids, into a a side worthy of respect (soon possibly...
I know it is VFL, but check out the last 30 secs of Port Melbourne V Box Hill. Siren sounds as the ball is in flight to tie the game. Split second difference in an elimination final.
(Full game, but queued to the event)
I cant think of many closer siren calls at any level.
(For the record...
Has made the commitment. Paperwork to follow.

Great news to tie in the best in the business.
PS> In before "Hawthorn Board". There...
Hi Statsmen
Just noticed that Tom Mitchell has racked up 11 x 30+ Games in a row stretching back to Rd 3. I believe this is now a Hawk record.
He is likely to smash the 30+ record for the year, plus total HFC disposals this year as well.
Where does a streak of 11 stand in the all time list...
Yeah, OK, this is about Shaun Burgoyne.
He gives all of us hawk supporters the warm and fuzzies constantly, and I cant think of a time he hasn't delivered when required. One of those goals was effectively worth a flag to the club.
Time and time again, for the Hawks and the Power before that...
Alistair Clarkson has never won the coach of the year award.
Despite Winning three flags in 10.5 years, with a healthy shot at a fourth this year
Despite reinventing modern tactics across at least three different gamestyles
Despite mentoring three current league coaches, with Barker a good shot...

Glad to be Playing in Perth.
Good benefit finishing Top 4 eh? ;-)

Great choice.
This is such an important Job, and Dicker has a proven record in business, and with what he achived pulling a deeply troubled Hawthorn out of the mire...
Clarkson was guarded in the post match interview, but said this like, "we will have to wait and see what happens" and "We were of the opinion that we had 4 on the bench"
Interesting times.
Either way, there is no potential for the result to be altered, but maybe they can fix this ****ed up...
Yes I KNOW it is VFL, but check the roost here from todays Coburg V Box Hill game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd_xYBE_-PU&feature=player_embedded
Cant remember a longer goal than this for a few years.
If the Hawks get up, would it be the first time that a first year rookie played in all 22 H&A games, and all finals to win a flag?
I know Selwood came close last year. but seem to rememer they rested him for a round or two towards the tail end of the season.
Can any history buffs confirm...
Alot of press recently about how poorly performed clubs should do a "Hawthorn" and trade away aging stars and journeymen for picks.
Wont Happen again....
Firstly
Clubs are FAR more concious of holding on to top 20 picks than they ever used to be. The Hawks managed to trade away good...
IIRC, when the NAB took over the sponsorship of the pre-season cup, they put a big bounty up (1 Mill) for any side that could win the Night and Day flag double.
Anyone know if it was a one off, or is on every year?
Who is the coolest now ;-)
My Vote obviously for ther man quoted here...
As Same Lane put it on the GF editionof before the game, "Men really love Luke Hodge"
Come the end of the Home and away season, the Coleman medal was decided with:
Brown 77
Pavlich 72
Franklin 63
Lloyd 62
Jon B winning the Coleman as we all know.
Now, as we all know Buddy Kicked 7 of the weekend, and lets say (for agruments sake) he kicks 5 this week in a win, and 5...
I think this guy has done his dough..

Gehrig = AA Full forward and Coleman medalist
Riewoldt = AA CHF, Multiple B&F winner
Harvey = Multiple everything, undisputed legend of the game
Dal Santo = Silky smooth Midfileder, rated in most top 50's
Ball = Clearance gun
Prior to the start of the game, most footy pundits would have...
I saw it happen to us during the Schwab led implosion of 2004 (retrospectivly, it was warranted), I see it happening now at Punt Road. Something must give, and it is the coach who is the one to be held accountable and responsible.
Question is, can the Tiges afford to sack Terry, given the...
63 in 2005
60 in 2006
Currently running in the top 5 again this year.
IMO top 3 goalkickers in the league in terms of accuracy (see the shot from 48 from the dead pocket in last weeks game)
Never seems to be mentioned along the other top forwards in the league. Is it just beacuse he is...
Can someone clarify..
Have any of the Vic clubs ever had to play all 6 interstate clubs in the H&A season in one year?
Ie.
WCE at Subi
Freo at Subi
Port at AAMI
Crows at AAMI
Sydney at SCG
Lions at GABBA
I have a bet with my brother that needs settling.
If so, what club/year...
After 2 (or is it 3?) years of having the 9 pointers in the NAB cup, I must say they have grown on me. Do the punters enjoy them enough that they could be introduced for the real stuff?
Would make for some interesting tactics for set plays, and those players with booming kicks would be worth...
Ok, here is 20 young guns from the league. Hypothetically, pick one to steal for your team. DO NOT PICK THE PLAYER FROM YOUR TEAM. I am making this a public poll, so we will all see.
Chris Knights - Adelaide
Justin Sherman - Brisbane
Marc Murphy - Carlton
Bryce Gibbs - Carlton
