Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Didn't see the first game but was there on the weekend.

I don't think there is too much wrong with giving it to players every now and then.
Its just another area that has changed so much over the time, must be constructive, must be gentle, what a load of crap.
We play a mans game and sometimes men need to be told that what they are doing is not good enough. I know I will get howled down but don't give a rats a$$. Toughen up boys and grow a pair.

No, that's a fair call, but sometimes the repetition means losing its effect. I remember playing under a bloke that when you'd walk in at half time you knew what he was gonna do and say, queitly for the first minute then scream, and don't forget to show "passion" in belting the blackboard!!! The other half forward and I played a version of "cliche lotto" on when and to whom certain quotes would be aimed. All good memories except when you were on the end of a front and centre verbal weather report. But, yes, we seem to be still moving with the politically correct handling of the players, Stan Alves has a lot to answer for!!!!!
I agree ABH...........you only have to look at the QBN changerooms to realise how spoilt we are these days
Well folks, it's that time again. Time to point you to good ol' flickr, and invite you to enjoy some footy photos. I have just uploaded the first half of Round 6 Hawks v Ainslie:

A little background for the people who don't know who or what I am. I've been photographing the (AFL Canberra) Hawks since 2006. In 2007, 8, and 9 I was the AFL Canberra photographer, and covered two games every weekend. Last year it was just the Hawks again. This year, well who knows...
While at the moment I go only to Hawks games, once there I photograph Footy; so if your team is playing then there'll be photos of them. Many of the photos are little more than happy snaps, but I know from experience that many viewers prefer a lot of photos of the game as it unfolded rather than just a few super shots.
Finally, my images are for your personal viewing pleasure. They are copyright Andrew Trost. Just because it's on the internet does not mean it's a free-for-all! Unless you have made a formal arrangement with me, don't put them on your club website or on TV or sell copies at the game. I don't get paid to do what I do but I do send out cease-and-desist letters. Feel free to put them on your personal facebook page, but please give a nod from time to time to the bloke who loves photographing local footy.
