There's a (ironically, very big) difference between a forward who is small and a small forward. On Pixel 8 Pro using BigFooty.com mobile app

Who doesn't love a gun small forward? All the good sides have one. On Pixel 8 Pro using BigFooty.com mobile app

Ah mate, thank you.

Please tell me someone has turned that clip of Newcombe shrugging the Weightman tackle into a gif? I need it to keep me warm during those cold, lonely nights at sea.

Ferrari.

Fraught with danger to judge a player off their highlights reel. You could put together a tape of the highlights over my playing career and I'd come off looking pretty good too, but believe me when I say I was without a doubt never even remotely close to afl standard. That being said, two...

For a player whose game is based around influencing the contest, Worpel hasn't been getting to many contests. Watching last week's game on TV it seemed like the only time you ever saw him he was on the edge of the screen.

He keeps getting better which is all you can ask I suppose.

Went to the game today. Always difficult to gauge a side on a pre season match, but I won't be rushing to pre book any finals tickets. Big players missing for hawks, particularly missed the dynacism of Day and CJ from the backline. Collingwood also had outs, of course. The was kind of looking...

Kicks to space, good in a contest and knows where his team mates are. Nice.

Stratton was good.

Righto, I made it to the game so here's a few thoughts... I might only see live one or two matches a year, so watching a game up close at a country ground I played a bit of footy at offers a very different perspective to the TV. The surface of the oval was immaculate, pure grounds keeping...

I'm at the game. Bit of a dour tussle so far, both sides struggling to feed it out of congestion.

Friend of mine works in the Bairnsdale DELWP centre, she said a few Hawks came in the other week to pick up a travel permit and a mini excavator. Not being a Hawks supporter she didn't know who they were, but one of them had the appropriate ticket for operating a digger.

You ruined xmas with this post and your whole family should be ashamed of you.

Ruckmen the quality of Big Boy are hard to find.

Would take Hill back in a flash. He always did a heap of unrewarded defensive running for us, filling the gaps when the opposition has the ball, which isn't always obvious on TV but is structurally important nonetheless. Defensive play isn't always about tackles or winning one-on-ones. On top...

Morrison is surprisingly good above his head.

Spot on. Most players drop the head, lean forward and try to plough their way out. On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

The blind turn is a real weapon when it comes to getting clear of congestion. Jeagar has done it once or twice recently; it's a sign his awareness and game timing is coming back. He will be scary good when he peaks in a year or two. On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

Rough obviously coming to the end, but I don't see anyone else who could play his role. Crossing my fingers that Birch can get himself right as he instantly makes the Hawks a better side. Can't remember him playing a bad game. On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

Young sides playing with confidence and with nothing to lose are always dangerous to face. On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

Jaeger still getting his timing and awareness back after so long out of footy. When he does he will be a superstar. Rarely seen someone spread and get to contests down the field with so much power.

Burton moves like Burgoyne. Straight lines and already knows what he's going to do with the ball before he gets it.

Highlights suggest he's good at keeping his hands free and getting the ball out to a team-mate.

Don't have any figures available but apparently he's a fair sized unit, with hands like dinner plates. Can anyone confirm?

I wasn't expecting a win until me, my brother and the old man got to Waverley. We were early enough to see the Eagles team bus pull up and the players disembark. Gee whiz they looked nervous. The body language spoke volumes.

I'm from Briag, went to school with Mick's brother Pete. There may be a few on the Hawthorn board who pass like ships in the night. Briagolong is a ripper little town (in fact it's the centre of the universe), full of great people and is lucky enough to feature incredible natural beauty. All...

* tips hat.

Strong in the one-on-ones and good with ball in hands. Before doing his first knee I felt Hawthorn were a better side with him playing. Very pleased to see him back in the side playing hard, intelligent footy. Swiss looks to open up the opposition when he's got the ball in a bit of space; I'm...
