    Shaun Burgoyne

    He can still find that extra gear when he needs it, too. Remarkable career.

    Who is the relatively unremarkable player you think back on fondly?

    Luke "Clangers" McCabe was an honest tryer for the Hawks during their most recent years in the wilderness. Looking back he was a bit of a scapegoat (as the nickname suggests) for the crappy state of the club, but he did crack in. On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

    The same. I apologise for the spelling.

    Baguleys sledge to lamb

    It's about culture. And if you have to ask that question then I don't think you'll ever understand.

    Baguleys sledge to lamb

    John Worsfold made a comment to Ray Jenkye about his recently deceased father in the early nineties. Essendon aren't called "The Scum" for no reason.

    Why are high marks legal?

    That's hardcore mate. You must have really thrown yourself at the ball. Respect. All the best.

    Why are high marks legal?

    The biggest menace in the game, however, are those reckless bandits who, with menace, headbutt the unsuspecting knee of our manly Christian heroes attempting to mark the football in mid air. Shame on them.

    Why are high marks legal?

    Yeah, I know. To my mind this is a sop to the great and unpredictable nature of our game.

    Why are high marks legal?

    Dude, intent is a harsh mistress. Was it deliberate or not? Sheesh, I dunno. But I'd wager those who have been in the same situation would have a better stab at the truth than you and I. Bur we're talking about sport, which is the only human endeavour where we can reasonably attempt perfection...

    Why are high marks legal?

    The Match Review Panel, is staffed by former players, who know of "intent".

    Why are high marks legal?

    It's a game of elimination. This, after all, sits top of the hierarchy of controls.

    Why are high marks legal?

    "sideways velocity knees"

    Why are high marks legal?

    Can you tell, from the couch, whether a player used his knees to boost himself towards the ball or hurt the opposition?

    Why are high marks legal?

    Surely the notion of intent has to apply. Any player who flies for the big one does not, and should not, give a proverbial where his boots end up as long as his hands end up wrapped around the footy. This applies to the enduring health and well being his team mates as well. See ball get ball is...

    Tom Scully's next contract

    After a good few years playing senior footy, Tom has exposed form. Doesn't break lines - not quick and an average kick with average vision. Can't see any club, including gws, offering serious coin to someone with no penetration in their game.

    Sam Mitchell's 34 effective disposals: a new world record??

    Sam Mitchell becomes a target because he so often stops moving when he gets the ball.

    Jack Watts

    How many times does he just stand there and watch a team mate go in for the contested ball? With the frenetic pace of football these days, a spectator like Watts really stands out.

    This year's low scoring pre-season: a sign of things to come?

    Coaches are very defensively minded these days as a continued heavy losses, or even a single blowout, can cost them their job. Ultimately seems a bit self defeating as the Hawks, Swans and Port show that attacking game plans are a ticket to the top of the ladder. Of course you've got to have...

    Tom Boyd requests trade to the Bulldogs

    If St. Kilda get Boyd off GWS by trading their top pick, does that mean he's gone number one in the draft two years in a row? Kid would want to be good.

    Will Langford - Have I been living under a rock?

    See ball, get ball, kick ball, make ball someone else's problem type of player, but does it enough times in a game to be quite effective. Would benefit from a bit more nuance in his game but he's in the Hawks best and keeps improving week to week.

    Return of the Flood?

    Defensive strategies, such as zoning, the press, flooding et al are employed by coaches so they can hold onto their jobs. The defensive mindset exists because coaches know that heavy losses will lead to pressure from fans, which will lead to them getting sacked. When all, or the majority, of...
