he is a very impressive speaker isnt he. i have heard plenty of reports of what a great bloke he is and saw it for myself tonight. good interview too, dave hughes, peter hellier and the other guy are really funny.

For the benefit of those who don't get the show or missed it tonight...

He didn't have a lot to say (fair enough too if dragged away from the pub and end of season wake to make a media commitment).

Main points:

Archer is the softest bloke at the club (this week) for piking it and escsaping from the Mad Monday activities via the back door of the pub.

The only reason he spoke with Carey after the Adelaide game was 'because no one else would'

Says Spider will be missed - for his leadership qualities on and off the field

Says that the JYD is a 'pretty intense' sort of bloke (no ****) but is well respected.

The team's goal at the start of the season was to make the 8 - and disappointed with their finish - and 2nd half of the season where we only won consecutive games in the last 2 rounds.

Drew seemed very comfortable in front of the camera - but it was a bit of a nothing interview. Still not sure what the point of having him on tonight other than ask a few dumb questions.

I may be wrong - but it looked like Sam Lane had a glint in her eye and was drolling over him. Wonder if the big fella closes the deal after the show?

He must be our new sex symbol.

After the Hawks vs Roos game, I went to the Captains Club with a couple of female Hawk fans. I had a quick chat to Drew before he went up for the usual post-match Dorothy Dixers, and after he went, the Hawks fans said, "I wish we had our very own Drew" (with the same glint in their eyes).

Banana and choc chip muffins, his greatest acheivment. He's got a sense of humour to.
