For those who have them left, have at it. For me, hinges on whether Greene gets suspended or not. If he does, I can either roll him into Billings and hope Kennedy gets up, or cash him in for $ and upgrade Kennedy, playing Nankervis Will have a clearer picture this afternoon

Ask away

Probably time to start this thread again, as we get more settled on most of our players and team structure, and are just nitpicking over the last couple of picks. I'll start with a one I'm working on: Dusty + Rookie (Atley at the moment) vs Gaff + D Swallow

As is (sadly) well documented, Cyril has been struggling for years now with his hamstring issues. With his potential fitness towards the finals, do you think a case could be mounted for Cyril to be the nominated sub throughout the finals series? He would bring a lot coming off the bench fresh...

Probably the two form strikers of the last 12 months (Messi and CR7 aside) and without those two vein around, could both be reasonable punts for the Ballon D'Or I'm wondering who this board prefers / would prefer at their club

Kid is a beast, and fast becoming one of my favorites. I very much doubt he'll be a forward for too much longer, is very, very good in the middle. Close to BoG tonight

Did it the hard way, but well deserved :thumbsu:

Wanted to start this yesterday, but forgot. Does this rule even exist anymore?

Going a different direction from the underrated / overrated threads - who would be your favorite actors going around at the moment / of all time? Despite the movie prefix, don't limit it to movies if there's a tv star you particularly enjoy. For me, I am well and truly about the Gordon-Levitt...

My mate and I are planning our hockey clubs preseason party for sometime early next year. I am putting it to the collective wisdom of the GD board to give me some theme ideas. Past themes have included: - golf pros and tennis hos - truckers and trailer park trash - double denim - Vegas My...

Massive game for us tonight, probably his best in Hawks colours. Earned his stripes tonight, did the number 9 proud.

Can't see a thread about this, and don't know where to get a link, but it's under the video section on the AFL site. A few points: - got a corkie in his calf yesterday, and couldn't shake it. Was his call to be subbed - would like a rest next week, others may as well - thinks Isaac Smith...

Funny little fluff piece from the AFL website on how to pronounce the Hawks names http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/113370/default.aspx Bless his cotton socks, Brian Taylor has been getting it right :eek::eek:

With Stratton undoubtedly to be put on the long term injury list, who do you guys think will / should get promoted?

This question has been plaguing me for ages. Every year there seems to be 1 or 2 or more new coaches. When was the last time there weren't any new ones at the start of the season?

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/109502/default.aspx Let's hope he pulls up ok and is good for round 1 :thumbsu:

Just found this on youtube. Had a chuckle, don't think it's been posted yet AyOEqw2IPu0

seems to have signed with Aston Villa http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=843124&sec=transfers&cc=3436 Seems like a slightly odd move to me, can only be a short term fix, possibly to cover the extensive injury list in midfield and help support the youngsters?

From the AFL website, didn't see it posted anywhere else http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/104325/default.aspx KEY CHANGES TO DREAM TEAM FOR 2011 - Squad sizes increased from 30 players to 33. This allows for an extra defender, midfielder and forward on the bench. The...

Was just reading Jeff's letter to the members on the Hawks website (yes, I know, it's a few weeks old) to delay my boredom, when I stumbled across this line towards the end of the piece. "Congratulations to all at Collingwood, your success was well earned, after a wonderfully consistent year...

I don't think there is any question that Cyril is one of the most talented players on our list, and like Luke Hodge, we would love several clones of him. My question is where do you think he is best used for the Hawks going forward? 1 - genuine inside / outside midfielder. A la Gary Ablett, if...

5. Sam Mitchell, 6. Josh Gibson, 10. Chance Bateman, 12. Brad Sewell, 13. Simon Taylor, 15. Luke Hodge, 17. Beau Muston, 18. Brent Guerra, 19. Jarryd Morton, 20. Rhan Hooper, 21. Shane Savage, 23. Lance Franklin, 25. Ryan Schoenmakers, 26. Liam Shiels, 27. Stephen Gilham, 28. Garry Moss, 29...

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/hawthorn-turns-to-basketballer-for-training-tips/story-e6frf9jf-1225833647110 Bit of a nothing article, though definately interesting. Best part for me was half way down: "Port Adelaide's premiership midfielder Shaun Burgoyne, ex-Lions forward Rhan...

Any chance of a Neville Bartos: Christmas edition? :D Figured I'd get in early to give you plenty of time. :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

I really do feel sorry for a club when their top vote getter only played a total of 6 games ... and injured himself in two of them. To top it off, their runner up missed 7, after missing a whole year of footy. Discuss

Found this on the AFL website. Nothing hugely informative, but a nice read none-the-less :) http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/84677/default.aspx

Dear Members, I know like me, you will all be very disappointed at the suspension of Buddy Franklin for two matches. The AFL introduced this Rule in reaction to an incident involving Nick Maxwell of Collingwood when he was involved in a similar incident during the NAB Cup played this year...

Interesting read. WE ALL know that to build a successful football club you need all types of players. Tall, fast, aerobic, skilled and strong are all attributes that clubs are looking for but recently there is one word that recruiters are placing more importance on – leadership...
