This game is making me laugh. How many sides have scored 7.22 in 3 quarters of footy and won the game?
I thought GWS were amazing? Wasn't Bevo supposed to be getting the sack?
Big Footy is awash with nuffie early takes that give me a giggle

Any truth to the rumour that Michael Christian has referred both QLD clubs directly to the RSPCA on charges of cruelty to animals?

That's why I always say sides should be grouped in banks not predicted to win a flag. A few injuries, fixture, form etc make it impossible to predict accurately.
Should be groups for top 4, top 8, and bottom 4.
Sides going for top 4- Sydney, Collingwood, Brisbane, Carlton, Melbourne, Port, Cats, Giants.
Sides just off that going for a spot in the 8- Dogs, Essendon, Gold Coast, Freo, Adelaide.
Bottom 4, Saints, Hawks, Richmond, North.

So Hawks are whacking Port ... yes early days but maybe Hawks aren't as bad as everyone thinks
Bombers beat North by similar margin to us
It just shows you that with Footy these days .... if you are out by 10% in terms of form then other sides can make you pay
With Footy these days a large number of teams are evenly matched .... for sure we are down on form at the moment but I doubt our form will continue to be as bad as it currently is
I wouldn't be surprised that we beat Melbourne next weekend .... Melbourne returning from the West .... we likely get Crouch, Clark and Higgo back .... watch our confidence soar

Hopefully the Hawks can hold on for a win over Port to go above us on the ladder and hand over their No.4 pick to us.
Hawks look miles better than us. They should comfortably win 8+ games, which will be enough to be ahead of us.
Eagles are a chance of snagging more wins than us also. I reckon we are looking at pick 3 or 4.

Can McKenzie hurts more after they gave pick one to the Dogs then change the rules when we get one.

Proper coach is Sam Mitchell.
Doesn’t blame lists. Works with what he has and develops them.
Listen to his first address as coach at Box Hill.
No mention of “effort”. All about teaching players how to execute skills under pressure.
The exact opposite to our prehistoric approach.

So you don't think that we will improve?
Not much. Team looks dead set broken. Best case is 8 wins, and that is a stretch.

Mitchell is a great strategist and seems to be really creative. The Hawks have a very winning mindset and high expectations. and the decision makers at the club are still the same ones that had them the best side in footy. Guys like Finnis were a disaster because they starved the footy department. There was no structure, standards or quality.
We'd strayed so far from the path that even getting back in a straight line was a huge effort. Clubs don't win flags without good people in place all the way through the organisation. We wouldn't spend on staff and then became a place careers go to die.
Lyon is looking like a misstep as far our next premiership coach but he's probably there to redesign our backroom more than lead us to the promised land. We were on a road to nowhere under rates and Richo. We didn't even really have effort. We were a retirement home for guys who wanted to coast on higher than standard wages.
For me the frustration is that we are still so far away. A great coach gets more out of an ordinary list but the list was nowhere near a flag last year and we still aren't at a point where we are ready to challenge after a 14 year rebuild.

You can see the Hawks change strategy and have multiple game plans. Last year the handballed and played keepings off. This year they are really attacking and frenetic. He seems to be able to strategise despite a very young side.
That said his midfield is very very good and that is up to date. Will Day and Newcombe are two of the best young mids in footy. Worpol, Nash etc are all really solid soldiers.

Who cares? Think of the outs teams we've already faced have had.
They could rest their best 15 players and still beat us the way we're going.

That goal… old man Petracca left in the dust. The future is now.
Get him to Moorabbin. We'll have all his ability and flair coached out of him within 12 months.
