But he knows he's won 4 premierships
I'm sure he has to be reminded. Probably keeps a flash card in his wallet with the number 4 on it and a pic of the cup.

But he knows he's won 4 premierships
Hawkins kicked ONE on the weekend.
50 goals so far is a bit poor. He should average 3 goals a week, meaning that he should get at least 66 goals.
He was goalless in Round 1 and 2, and isn't in the Top 5 goalkickers in the league most years.
To be fair I also have a geek on this board every now and again to get the views of some intelligent posters, some in the Scott coaching thread seem very intelligent.
Is this serious? 50 goals a bit poor, surely you're taking the piss. He's had a huge year.Hawkins kicked ONE on the weekend.

Thanks man for recognising this. It's true. I don't even see it as a compliment to be called very intelligent. I just accept it as a fact now.To be fair I also have a geek on this board every now and again to get the views of some intelligent posters, some in the Scott coaching thread seem very intelligent.

The more highlights I see of this game, the more disgusted I am with the umpiring.
Apart from all the bullshit holding calls that they were getting all game yet we got SFA, some of the most crucial moments were dictated by horrible umpiring decisions or in some cases non-decisions.
It's just a fact, regardless of how badly we played.
he's good enough to be kicking high 70's-80+ a year.
Agreed they have made this game so difficult to umpire now as well. The dangerous sling tackles, high hits, shirt fronts I can understand why they want that out of the game when the NFL just spat out 1.4billion to every ex player and were still moving.
Just all these new rules below the knees is still cringeworthy. Holding the ball is just a raffle sometimes they pay it to move the ball on. Incorrect disposal.
Camera angles of everything the blocking in a marking contest AFL just does what it wants. This stupid 6-6-6 will come in soon.
I just wish all the ticky Tac Frees could be killed off. A brush over the shoulder and this 50m in the protected zone when players are just literally running past out of play is just horrendous. It's not what the rule was designed for
Rant over
Tom Mitchell literally looked at the umpire and kicked it. HTF is that not 50....... if he ran within 5 meters past him they probably pay it.
I think the most confusing is contact below the knees vs high contact - it seems to be a toss of the coin as to which way the decision will go. Sometimes it seems that if the player going in low for the ball has their head make contact with their opponents lower legs that they will pay high contact, but the same action where its the player going low making contact with their body turned seems to be contact below the knees.
I'd like to see a tweak to that rule that rewards the player going for the ball rather than the player coming in second & making no effort to actually go for the ball but rather just wait for contact because they know they will get a free kick - against the Hawks we saw a free kick paid against Guthrie when we beat one opponent, he was already on the ground and when he dived full stretch to get the ball to a teammate he had a free kick paid against because the seconds Hawks player come in & virtually stand his ground with no attempt at the ball because he was banking on the free kick. Why not a free kick for Guthrie for going for the ball and getting the Hawks players legs to his head - Guthrie's actions were dangerous in any sense & he didn't take out the Hawks player, but the guy was rewarded for being second to the ball & making no attempt to play the ball.
As for incorrect disposal - the umpires early seemed to try to not punish us for holding the ball because instead they would call a throw against us if the ball came out in the tackle. I think there was 2 or 3 throwing calls against us in the first 10 minutes of the match, but that same thing when the Hawks player was tackled was called play-on. That is utter frustration because there's no consistency between the calls.
If umpires are going to make s**t calls then fine - but at least be consistent between both teams with the s**t calls.

Carlton?
The board has control of the MC. Get control of the board and you control the MC. Get control of the board by running a ticket at the next AGM, at the end of the season. I do not know how many on the Board, usually about a dozen so you need to control about 8. Get 8 people to run on a ticket which states what your platform is eg: sack Cook, sack Scott etc, and put out leaflets outlining your agenda and attempt to persuade as many as possible of the 50,000 members to vote for your candidates.
What do you think of my new avatar? I get all soft and fuzzy looking at it. But I'm still quite firm on other issues of course.
Apparently Billy Brownless was given a cool reception at KP after criticising the Midfield "as lazy during the second quarter of the MCG blockbuster clash while calling the game for Triple M Footy – comments which drew some criticism from coach Chris Scott and star midfielder Patrick Dangerfield, although Scott insisted he was only joking."

I think that is the whole point! Brownless is right, but Cook didn't like him saying it.Whatever we think of Brownless (and I'm a long way from being a fan) it doesn't mean he's wrong.
Calling the midfield "lazy" sounds to me like the many simplistic ravings per game that come through fan frustration. A bit like "you're hopeless (insert name)" or "just kick the bloody thing".
At times yes. But there's footage of how hard our guys ran from contest to contest compared to Hawthorn's guys. It wasn't flattering.

Absolutely, credit where its due the Hawks work bloody hard week in week out.At times yes. But there's footage of how hard our guys ran from contest to contest compared to Hawthorn's guys. It wasn't flattering.
*oh, the next election is next year at the end of the season. I think many would rather whinge than do something, some are not even members (nor am I for that matter).Perhaps we should get 12 people from BF to run for the GFC Board?
I am sorry for calling you 'allrighty' I thought your avatar was of Monica Belluci, who is my triplet sister.
Now that I've looked closer, I see it is the incredible, illustrious, inimitable Kate Bush! Wuthering Heights being one of my favourite books + songs! Both of which are very swoon-worthy.
I am surprised at your reaction to her though, I thought it would be a firm issue for you.
One thing that really IS soft was the game against Hawthorn. So awful a loss that I have completely forgotten the game + am suffering from psychogenic amnesia.
Although, I do remember Ablett, Dangerfield + Selwood combining for 94 possessions against Hawthorn.
