Brendon Bolton has now joined the elite coaching course. Seeing him next to Burgers makes you realize just how small he is. I was thinking of making a line of BB - NOT BarBie, but Brendon Bolton - dolls; I reckon the girls would go for them.

On a serious note, it would seem like our likeable little coach may only have limited time left at The Hawks. Good luck to him.

It most likely means we listened, and we did a lot of work to mend the relationship.

I hope for Don's sake that he got a lot of enjoyment out of the club last year.
Something tells me that Don would get a whole more enjoyment out of it all than he will ever let on. You cannot be as passionate as he was that night and then just turn the tap off.

Scotty is such a contradictory bastard: such a brilliant on-field leader, just the most inspiring captain there ever was, always one of the best in Grand Finals.

Yet he is such a difficult person off the ground, never has a good thing to say about the Hawks success in recent years. Always comes across as bitter towards the club.

I loved watching him play, but I find it so difficult to watch interviews with him.

His 'Open Mic' interview was a ripper....He made Mike Sheahan lose his composure completely at the end....Always contrary is Don!

"His captain Nick Maxwell was also fined after it emerged Shaw had bet on him kicking the first goal in a match.
Maxwell was fined after his family also placed bets on him."

So someone else bets on you and you get fined?! Harsh!

I'm off to put 10 quid on Judd for the Brownlow.
They, unlike you and I,bwould of known he was going forward - therein lies the problem


In this case it appears a vfl player has used the account of lachie hunter to place a bet
Hunter reported it to the club

Lowden's Achilles heads in the wrong Direction

ADELAIDE ruckman Luke Lowden isn't even being considered for round one due to an Achilles injury that was aggravated – albeit indirectly – by boy band One Direction.

Lowden was carrying an Achilles injury when he joined the Crows along with Kyle Cheney from Hawthorn last October and hasn't featured in the NAB Challenge.

The injury occurred when the club was forced off AAMI Stadium due to One Direction's concert at the venue on February 17.

In order to run closed training sessions the Crows trained at nearby Thebarton Oval, but the surface was so hard in comparison to Max Basheer Reserve or AAMI Stadium that it had to be abandoned after just four sessions.

Walsh insisted the move back to West Lakes was no hit on Thebarton Oval, which often hosts SANFL training sessions throughout the summer.

Lowden has since returned to full training but needs more conditioning before he'd be ready to play.

"He won't be available for us round one of the AFL," Walsh said.

"He came to the club with an Achilles and we've had a couple of guys with Achilles [injuries] this pre-season.

"With Luke, he probably trained two days in a row on a really hard surface that's given him a small setback.

"We ended up moving back, we came back to Max Basheer (Reserve) because of it – we did penetrometers and we got readings."

With One Direction long gone, the Crows will take to AAMI Stadium on Saturday for their NAB Challenge finale against Port Adelaide.

Superb performances from Eddie Betts against North Melbourne and Patrick Dangerfield against Geelong have secured their places in the club's round one side, but Walsh said they were the only guaranteed starters.

He said he still needed to see "some things" from a number of Crows players to convince him they were deserving of a place in the starting 22, as well as from the side as a whole.

So much for Cheney being penciled in for round 1 after 2 days of preseason training. Must've found their erasers.
