The pile on should be directed at the people who signed off on the deal. He wasn't a need and costed a bomb.

Hipwood on contract until end of 2029. Turns 26 in September.
Lobb has a contract until the end of 2026. Just turned 30.
If you can't be good, be tall.

Fear not people, Buddy has not been forgotten.
Barrett's sliding doors;
I believe that is now 83.478% (approx) for Buddy mentions in the Swans 'Sliding Doors' section.

And then there is Harris Andrews , what a player
I don't read or listen to anything this flog says
His best is good, his worst very ordinary, like last night. The average is indeed average.
They gave Hipwood 6yrs???

Reckon thats a bit harsh on Sam, Ticky.
Sam's problem is injury & an unhealthy obsession with drive-thrus.
Hipwood's problem is lack of ability.

The Chicken Tackle was always illegal on the Rules of Australian Rules Football. But a change in the rules has allowed this to return as a legitimate tackle. A Chicken Wing tackle is where a player grabs a player's arm and pulls it behind his back to stop him disposing of the ball.
It is seenas a good tackle today but in reality is the most dangerous tackle as it allows the player no protection of the head if the head hits the ground. That is because the idea is to drop the player on the same side and the wing/arm that is pinned so they can't get out of it.
Why are we allowing a once banned tackle to be used?
The other major issue for me is the throw. Players are not even bothering to disguise the throw now because thry know that 98% of the time it will not be penalised. Are we Rugby? We might as well be. I have watched most matches over the first 2 weeks. There were literally hundreds of very obvious throws and I only saw 3 picked up in the first round and 7 in the second.
That AFL wants fast ball movement at any cost. This cost is far too far

Eric Hipwood is not a bad KPF. Bringing in Daniher who has similar attributes and leading patterns is the problem. They Jackson'd themselves.... before that was even a term.... and no, I don't think it'll catch on

What is Fagan doing also? Three tall forwards and two rucks... that ain't it. They look slow and lumbersome and the athletic talls they have (Hipwood & Daniher) don't put any pressure on. And the forward who looks the most dangerous for them (Gunston) they go to the least, because he isn't as mobile and on the move as the others, because he's 31.
Absolute mess. One of Hipwood or Daniher have to go and make way for a dangerous medium who can be a marking target but also dangerous at ground level and can apply pressure. A Heeney/Fritsch type. No idea if they even have such a player on their list.

The longer they struggle with it the better.
Rather other clubs struggle , better them than some Vic scum
Looking forward to watching the diminishing Hawks crowds over the next few weeks after having to listen to their arrogance over the last 15 years about how big a club they are.
I forgot about GWS scum

Will Brodie couldn't break into Gold Coast's average side.
Becomes a key player in Freo's top 6 side last year.
Dropped by round 3 of this year.
Gives you whiplash how fast things change in footy sometimes...
