A Gallop special that tackle.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Having that tackling pressure is such a weapon for Gallop

 

[M Malice]

Caylen Murray has a good leg on him, couple of great kicks in the 2nd half.

Gallop great with his tackling as per usual.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Gallop has had a good game

 

[LoganMorrisFan]

Unreal quarter from Gallop

 

[M Malice]

Awesome mark from Gallop, so so bullish on what he could bring to the seniors.... eventually.

 

[LongLion]

Unreal quarter from Gallop

This team plays a bit like the seniors. Cruise along, keep in touch and put the foot down when needed. Frustrating

 

[M Malice]

McDonald looks ok from the little I have seen, is he an academy boy?

 

[MSB ROYS]

Excellent last quarter so far.

 

[LongLion]

Days done OK in ruck

 

[M Malice]

Gallop with small forward craft as well, he does it in the air and on the ground.

Final score. Brisbane 17.10.112 df Coburg 13.8.86

Perfect depth for next season. Could play any of Hippy, Morris or Allen’s roles in the team

 

[Lionwest]

Annable with the most CP on the ground!! Not a bad effort at all by the young colt

 

[Section 5]

Only saw the last 20 minutes or so.

Annable watchers 24D, 2M, 3T & 8 clearances being the most clearances from both sides.

Definitely wouldn't be in our best 22 like that idiot said but definitely projects to be quite a good midfielder

Ex academy I think.

Hopefully Gallop gets a big off season into him, a little more of a tank and a bit stronger. I would like to see him get half a dozen games next year at least. He needs exposure to the higher level.

Annable looks like he can be something.

Beecken and Brain look like they have more to offer than Doedee at least at this stage in Doedee’s recovery after a long time out of the game. I see Beecken as deserving of an opportunity at the top level next year.

Poor Dev. He is too good and somehow not quite good enough. I would assume he is gone next year. He can’t wait forever.

McFadyen just seems a bit too useful and at a good size to not be drafted by someone as a late pick.

 

[GenericUsername202]

Hawks board melting over Cooper playing for the Lions. Surely that's reason enough to draft him?

 

[lionshine]

Happy with Torrent’s development. Hoping he can slot in as the midfield depth in place of Dev & Tunstill next year but perhaps with slightly more positional versatility which could see him get some senior games with a strong pre season.

I only watched the 2nd half but a few boys showed some good signs today against a desperate opposition fighting for a finals spot - Torrent as you mentioned + Ty Gallop, Sam Day's ruck work, Shadeau Brain, Luke Beecken. Hodge and Annabel looked good as well, Caylen Murray was pretty quiet but did 2 special disposals by foot that stood out.

Remember moseying on down to Cramer Street (which wasn’t far as I lived in Cramer Street) not long before I moved to Queensland and saw Luke Hodge’s first game for Box Hill.

Caught up with a few of the BigFooty Hawks (two of whom went on to become AFL list managers. NB: not everyone who meets me at the footy ends up an AFL list manager, sorry briztoon ) for a chinwag and a bit of kick to kick after the game.

Hodgey kicked a beautiful goal to the Preston Market end in the last quarter.

23 years ago. God.

I played junior footy in Cramer St but down the other end Mr Rip inside the trotting track opposite Northland.....interesting memories n characters.

Is brain good enough defensively? I'm very concerned after losing Answerth and with Starce off the pace. I feel we need a lock down player

Starce looked in a lot better place last night…

Being real for a moment, where do we see Cooper Hodge being rated? From the outside, it looks like he started out slow and would have been lucky to be drafted by any club, but it seems like he's really coming into his own. The fact that Brisbane and Hawthorn seem really interested in him really tells you just how high his stock is. His draft year will also have a few good academy products as well, which we can't forget about too.
