Marvel? The ground which you are a primary tenant?
Oh yes, our first game against them at home in near ona decade.

He kicked 11, that's unders, lucky they kicked poorly or it would have been super ugly.
 
Like that means anything. So would 60 year old Derm - Chol is a spud.

If he were on the open market, what would he attract Pick 15-25? Hardly a superstar.
No one is saying he is a superstar, but he is a good above average key forward now. 40+ goals, one of the better relief ruck key forwards in the comp and actually competes well at ground level.

A genuinely good but not amazing player, really weird melt from you.

Not a melt at all, I just don't think he's that good.

If Lewis is fit surely he'd kick 60... yours is actually a weird melt given your rebuilding with a 29 year old playing such an "important" role, apparently.

Your rebuild is most certainly over. I mean if this rebuild doesn't work, there probably will need to be another.

Important role? He is one of 4 key forwards we have that are AFL quality, he is a guy on a cheap contract that is significantly out performing it. He is offering more than a lot of other key forwards that have been a part of premierships, he is not carrying us to anything. Just simply another player to play a role.

He played 24 games, hardly a bit part character in your Best 23.

But each to their own.

With Lewis and Dear spending the vast majority of the season injured/underdone.
 
Agreed, but CCJ is a break glass in case of injury/emergency. He'll only play if there are injuries to Xerri and Goad.

Sometimes I feel these Hawthorn supporters aren't in touch with reality. They can't win the flag because of lack of A Grade stars in the midfield and they just lost one they do have for half the year.

It's a bit of shame for them, not so much when they act like they're the only ones who deal with injuries... whilst I admit ours aren't household names just yet, they are in positions which would change the narrative around us - hence my absolute disdain.

Our backline for instance, is a work in progress and the weakest 3rd of the ground for us. A real achilles heal, but, that is when we're running around without our future backline. You need to include Archer, Goater, a fit Logue and WDawson into calculations. Once they are, who knows?

We'll mark them harshly if they're are all fit and playing and we're still shit.. of course, but until such time as they are and we're forced to keep playing incumbents- we'll be no good back there.
I think you are a bit delusional if you believe CCj only plays behind Goad who is a 20 year old kid that still has 2-3 years before being ready to play Ruck and is yet to debut.

CCj is North's designated 2nd Ruck for 2026 and probably 2027 if he gets to stay at the club and that would most likely depend on how Goad develops

CCj is rubbish and a mistake and will be replaced eventually but for 2026 he is ahead of Goad

Completely incorrect. Jack Darling is #2 Ruck for 2026.

CCJ isn't in our best 32.

Goad would be your #1 Ruck lol
 
So if X goes down then North will play Darling full time ruck you telling me
X goes down, Goodness Goad will be #1.

Goodness Goad goes down and X is still out, CCJ will get his run.

Rd1, I feel that X will be #1 with Darling #2 chopping him out; Goodness Goad NQR, but surely a better option than CCJ.

Dude lets be real

Goad is a 20 year old Ruckman that is not ready to play #1 Ruck and has not even debut yet
North extended his contract and decided to keep him on the list as backup for X

I think you need to understand where your Ruck stocks sit better
 
I thought I walked into the Mitch Lewis thread but apparently it was the Chol thread but it seems I have been wronged again and I've walked in on the CCJ/Goad/Darling 2nd ruck shitfight.

Noted 👍. Just a little bit about how reality can work ……. this time only two years ago many had Hawks favourites for the spoon, only had Lewis as a big key forward and had a crap small forward group

Have you seen him? He's 207cm, basically faster than any one of your players AND the rules have changed to assist his type.

I'm not debating you, I just don't want CCJ-in under any circumstances. The bloke who just signed for Collingwood VFL (Teakle) is a better footballer and lasts more than 10mins.

At last, a thread where you can really open up about your dislike of Hawthorn and Mabior Chol.

lol, just habit. Being a Glen Iris Gladiator back in the day, I was surrounded by you blokes. At least the Dees were a bit broken during that time.

No, funny. In the event the strongest, most sound Ruckman in the comp goes down (possibly after the entire Poort team try to kill him, after knocking out JHFF in Rd 1) - Gooodnesss Gracious Goad will be in before we have to be reminded that we chose CCaint over "Teakle me Elmo".

I hope anyway. You may be right.

I can't believe he's 27. Thought he was at most 23.
He's an adolescent in Hawk terms.

Their entire list is like that... I could have sworn Jai Newcombe was a kid, he's 25 being compared with 20 year olds.

Now, before I get some feedback from Hawk-fans, Watson & Weddle are great young players but to call what they are doing a rebuild is an un-truth.

When Xerri was out with suspension this year, CCJ was the #1 ruck (and proceeded to get injured in the first few minutes).

After that it was Teakle playing as your first ruck. Goad not in the picture.

That was 2025, we're talking about 2026. When you have the depth of talent we have, things change quickly. He's 19 and 207cm tall, he wasn't ready for VFL last year (really), but is coming along in leaps and bounds being forced to go up against Xerri at Training. It's actually a good position to be in for the kid. Ruck is the only position in the last 35 years that we aren't LOLNorf.

We can find them and develop them really well.
 
Well this was an amusing read of a thread!

Collingwood need to be all over this bloke if they miss out on Bing.

Even if he’s injury prone.

He was looking alright before his first knee injury, just had a few niggles which happens with young big fellas growing into their body. His second one was just really bad luck. Got hit in the head during a marking contest and concussed mid air and landed awkwardly. Wasn't even given a free kick.
