We should have got a 50 for a late tackle after a free

It was a great win. Having said that please disregard everything Carey ever says. Got me stuffed how a bloke who glassed a woman and kicked a female cop in the face still has a media job.Great win. Wayne Carey's comment: 'if there's one word that sums up this club: respect.' Hodgey, Ollie, Worps and the rest of the young blokes will get a heap out of that.
Weird how when it was replayed it was after grinding forearm to the face.Should get off, wasn't even looking at Pendles.
This is a bloke who got like 5 weeks for an unintentional trip though...

The future!! When was the last time we had a 198cm key forward who could do what this kid can do? 20 years old! Wrap your head around that.
Well, the stats sheet tells a bit of it. He just got involved in the game, didn't look like he was bothered at all by the step up to AFL level. Cool, composed, ran hard and nailed his tackles. I was most impressed when I saw him working back into defence to help out, and executing a couple of difficult kicks on a night where we were struggling to find targets. Two crucial goals in the last term to top it off.. reckon he'd have a huge tick next to his name from his line coach.Can someone clue me in on Ollie? Granted I missed a fair bit of the game due to indulging on a tasty Shiraz, but didn't see him a lot? Seems to be copping big wraps.
Yeah fair game, just finished re-watching the last quarter sober. Had totally forgotten he kicked two.Well, the stats sheet tells a bit of it.

Exactly right. The headline would be "Talented Magpie superstar captain with a basketball background forced to defend himself from niggling tactics of unsociable Hawthorn tagger all whilst lying prone and vulnerable on the ground"You just know if Howe was holding pendles down and the same happened the narrative would be completely different
Interesting we're 4-4 against top 8 sides but 2-5 against bottom 8 sides, might be me being optimistic but we're really not that far off.
That sounded better in your head didn’t it!Yeh, but the next game he dominated their best player, David Racula.
It works when the game is close at the end. Im not saying one or the other is right, but wouldnt more one sided games be the result of low interchange
He definitely has that 'Unsociable Hawks' aura about him.I need to say it again - we're a far better side with Howe in the team.
Just love ol crazy eyes.
When you look at the Pendlebury incident in the game highlights - hawks received a free kick and Pendlbeury decided to tackle Howe a good 1-2 seconds later and drag him to the ground. Then ol crazy eyes kneed him in the head (accidentally) and Pendlebury had a bit of a sook.
When guys of that calibre are getting ruffled you know your'e on to something. Shiels becomes a much more valauble player with Howe there.
Top 4 might be a stretch, our midfield is not quite top shelf even with Mitchell. Last year, we won ALL the close ones, which was fortunate, but not indicative of dominancewhereas in reality we'd probably be top 4 this year if TOM played.
Wingard back to his best, Mitchell back from injury, knock on wood we land both Patton and Cogs and we look very dangerous forward of centre.Definitely not that far off, the gap between worst and best teams now is so slight. There are people saying we need at least 3 more A Graders to compete, whereas in reality we'd probably be top 4 this year if TOM played.

Will get Fyfe this week. Dangerfield the next.Pendles was complaining to the umpires about Howe in the first quarter.
When he was first drafted to the club, I thought Howe was going to be a really good player. Nice size for a midfielder and seemed to have time to find teammates, which is the hallmark of a very good midfielder.
He hasn't come on in the way I hoped but he definitely has a role to play, at least for the moment.
Ben McEvoy held level with Grundy and gave us a chance to win the game. Well done big man.
There was barely any serious contact. Yeah he got him in the head but it more surprised Pendles than hurt him. Think he has a pretty good case anyway, what do you expect the guy to do when someone is lying on top of you trying to rub your face in the dirt.You just know if Howe was holding pendles down and the same happened the narrative would be completely different

Jarman Impey: I’m sure he’s under instructions to take the game on; no way that is against Clarko’s meticulous plans. He’s said to Impey: “grab the ball, take on the field and run”. It’s not always successful, but it gives the supporters some damn excitement!
