Someone can say that they got 29 touches and that may sound impressive, but maybe eight of them were "one-two" handballs that went three metres (the old padding the stats routine) or that half of those possessions were turned over.
Unfortunately gone are the days when journalists would write...
...and their achievements which are so really interesting and what attracts us to the game.
When the Gisborne full back Vescovi held FergusGreene to one goal in their opening game I don't think coach Waters was complaining about his lack of possessions. How does your highly rated opponent not...
Sandhurst would beat them. Ex Hawthorn forward FergusGreene & Ex Collingwood VFL Captain Lachie Tardrew have been dominating and are surrounded by quality players on every line.
I think a fair bit of doubling down instead of admitting that we'd stuffed up so chased older and more ready made options. Parker, Hind and Young in the draft ,mean you're not picking kids. Those types are real preseason draft or rookie list options.
What 🤨 didn’t say either of that. No one says Ward is better than Daicos and don’t try to say that I did. Greene was looking good at times and his type was Gunston but never said he was “great and tracking like him” you’re just twisting words.
But shows your knowledge. Same with you not...
Sorry Dom, but it’s not easy taking any of your posts seriously. From Ward being better than Nick Daicos to last season saying FergusGreene was great and tracking like Gunston.

You can pull up receipts if you’d like, but my take on Fergus never changed. He had some good qualities and played well especially early doors. As a third tall he just wasn’t as productive as he needed to be, therefore his spot was lost. Just didn’t have the pace to keep up with AFL. But still...
Surplus of the bolded at the beginning of 2022?
You went full rebuild. You felt you had the mids in place after a couple had good years and the team had a better than expected second half of the year and looked for flankers and talls this year. I don't understand why that has unsettled so many...
...his father's death. We knew the hole we had up forward (with only an often injured Lewis) - so much so we brought a mature aged FergusGreene in from the VFL to replace him.
We also brought in multiple mature aged key position players/forwards through the mid season draft.
If you follow...
...He's been considered outright best on ground once in his career (against a bottom of the ladder Hawthorn matched up on the might of FergusGreene) and never received a vote in a final* or Grand final. Sicily, on the other hand, has been clear best on ground (and dragged Hawthorn over the...
I’ll keep it simple.
Chol was brought in as the hawks needed experience and, more importantly talls to help the spine, and keep the heat of the developing talls (Dear, DGB, McCabe etc)
Massimo has afl qualities that are elite, Sam identified this and has backed him in. He has been superb on...
I know Massimo had a knock defensively but I really think it's been one of his strengths so far in the Hawk colours. Took the criticism on and is going very hard at the pill and man.
I've been impressed. Thought he was just a freaky kick.
...leaders into the club is rubbish and everyone knows it
Mabior Chol - He is a journeyman, no way you can paint it any other way. FergusGreene averaged more goals than your boy Mabior.
Massimo D’Ambrosia - has AFL quality traits but can’t defend. Essendon being one of the hardest...
Newcombe is quick of mind, and explosive over the first 5-10. He isn't a greyhound, but he's far from slow. You don’t need any more than that when you're as strong as he is and you have those first two tricks anyway. Not to mention he's our most damaging player when fit.
Ward burnt off one of...
Brilliant post, couldn’t agree more.
I absolutely agree with the division approach, my suggestions about points etc are just band aids if we remain as is.
I’ve been thinking about this and one of the main sticking points that comes up is netball. The solution I think is to go back to the days...
...goal in the first half Sandhurst would have been in real trouble. They are very strong down the spin and their full back did not give FergusGreene a sniff. McKenna at full forward is going to be a nightmare for other teams this year. At the end of the day Sandhurst found a way to win so they...
...Reeves (hand)
LATE CHANGE
North Melbourne: Nil
Hawthorn: Lloyd Meek replaced Max Ramsden (illness) in the selected side
SUBSTITUTES
North Melbourne: Jack Ziebell replaced George Wardlaw in the second quarter
Hawthorn: Denver Grainger-Barras replaced FergusGreene in third quarter
Crowd: 30,201
I agree, just giving the reasons as to why he hasn’t had the opportunity so far. He may get a chance sometime this year but until then I’d be surprised to see him on a list
Just as I told you last year FergusGreene (who you thought was something special) would not make another AFL list, Cooper Stephens will be following him in 2025.
