needs to get 'thicker', i think with more core strength he'll be better at holding space with his body. still young, especially for his size and position. he's almost a year younger than curnow iirc.

If Marchy gets dropped for Liam, Liam would be the tallest hbf’er we’ve had since the mercurial Ian Aitken, the man whose career was virtually ended by dirty Clarko in the Battle of Britain of 1987..
I would love to be singing MM's praises, love him to be a leader of men, a first rate footballer (still); but he isn't. In my view the game has gone past him. Nothing more. This was a selection error in my opinion. Murph should either have rested one more week, or maybe played limited time in the 2's, proving his form and fitness like anyone else.
Probably a ripping bloke, and a former captain always gets my respect, but I can only comment on what I see. Murph was missing in the first half when we needed him, flashed with brilliance through the 3rd q when the comeback was in full swing, and then was absent again, except for some injudicious disposals to (seemingly) avoid contact.
I have nothing against him, it's just, in racing parlance, I 'prefer others'.
I would put Jack on Walters.

I would put the bearded carpenter on Walters with his 4b2
SO would I., It hink he would
Excuse my poor command of the English language.
With Cas firing in the back line, I have never seen Jones perform for the Northern Blues but as Soapy and others have mentioned, Jones killed it in the VFL as a mobile ruck man/on baller. It would be logical to try him as ruck ruck rover type in the seniors. We are not going to make finals so their maybe heaps of value in an this type of experiment. Nothing to loose plenty to gain he is a reasonable kick and good in the air.

genius - get it to teague, stat! and bring me beardy..........
Our best is awesome. Perhaps up with the best in the league. Almost unstoppable.
Our baseline is too low. There will always be momentum swings in games. When it’s not going our way we need to be better. Grind them down more. Make them work harder for longer to score against us. That’s where we need to improve, but lucky for us there is plenty of room for improvement.

And further to this, Suckling was recruited by the Hawks as a 20 year old & only played 6 games in his first 2 seasons at the club. This is the luxury that clubs like Hawthorn have had, the depth to enable young players to spend sufficient time in the VFL to develop their game.

Gibbs/Murphy/Judd - and ' the rest' mentality is the road that teh Club took to get us to where we are now - all very predictable.
Spot on.
Improvement = A coach doesn't play blokes who wont or cant tackle.

LO'B was enormous yesterday....just watched the replay again, and his run on the outside was huge.
He's played two cracking games now in a row, gives us a taste of his potential when he matures. He played a similar game in the Dawks pre season practice match this year, which he was incredibly impressive.
He so much reminds me of a young Isaac Smith, with the dangerous raking left footer.
I also noticed in one passage, we took possession on a half forward on the left side of the goal...the players in the vicinity were LO'B, Simmo, Newman and Fish...all raking left footers. They are so important for team balance, just look at the Dawks in their 3peat.
Don't think its any co-incidence that we picked up Joshy De, another left footer.

Hawthorn stole the lefty theory from the Kiwi’s who had great success with Wright & Edgar, pretty sure....
And then some only choose to remember the bad while ignoring the good. On here it goes both ways. The battle I see is being on the right side of the debate because if you aren't there are those who want to question your footy knowledge, whether you are part of a clique, perhaps wearing blue tinted glasses or just STFU.

JSOS would get towelled up.
Oh yeah...
Again, one incident in 120 minutes filled with player errors and turnovers
Umpires make errors just like players
Absolutely. My Dad and I were yelling at the umpire through the TV at the time about it. He let go of the ball, picked it up the just dropped it, was dragged off it but dragged it with him then just let it go again.. definitely should've been 50.

One of the more encouraging aspects of this game was that we were able to compete with Cripps being held down. For a while its been shut down Cripps shut down Carlton, but not on the weekend. We found a way to compete without him.
Can’t rationalise with someone who makes expert comment without watching much of it despite evidence to the contrary. Similar threads
