Amen.
Swallow Hallahan and a fit jaeger will take us back to the top of the clearances and turnover board next year
Make no mistake, last night's game in Sydney with a half arsed Dixon and most of our 2016 NEAFL team on the field was pretty damned good

Thought most of the group was down last night. Lynch has got the yips from set shots. Just hasn't been able to convert from 30 out in the past few weeks. Hopefully that turns around this off-season.
I'm still not a fan of Schade. When he's forced to be accountable for someone over 190cm he is constantly beaten. I can only think of one direct contest that he won last night. He just lost everything all over the ground. Sydney knew to isolate him and did it well. I don't think he has a place in this side with everyone fit.

Not at the moment
I suppose we're still trying to find the answer to the 3rd tall
So far we've tried Day, Mckenzie and Schade, and probably Malceski
Next please

I wouldn't mind sniffing around other clubs for that third tall defender.
As odd / unfavourable as this suggestion may be, what about Ryan Schoenmakers? I think he's out-of-contract at the end of this year. He's 24.

He would be good at our club, not always best 22 at Hawks but would be strong for us
I watched Geelong every game.
Hawkins always kicked 6 on him.
And shocking decision maker.

Schoenmakers or Malceski? Perhaps Schoenmakers is Dutch for shocking decision maker?

Big exaggeration.
I know that Schoenmakers has a bad wrap for that one game against Hawkins where he monster'd him and kicked six goals, but in every other game they've been opponents Hawkins has been relatively quiet. As unexpected as it is, they've only ever had the chance to play against each other six times in total:
Goal / Behind Tally for Tom Hawkins against Ryan Schoenmakers
2.2 (2009, Rd 17)
0.1 (2010, Rd 2)
2.0 (2011, QF)
3.2 (2012, Rd 2)
6.2 (2012, Rd 19)
2.1 (2013, Rd 1)
It's also important to note that Hawkins kicked those 6 goals on him three years ago in 2012. This was the year Hawkins came equal-second to Matthew Pavlich in the Coleman Medal with 62 goals. He kicked bags of six multiple times that year against multiple opposition. He kicked bags of five and bags of four against multiple opposition, too (including Sydney, the eventual premiers). He kicked more goals than Buddy Franklin. 2012 was Tom Hawkins' breakout year. The only person to kick more goals than him for that year was Jack Reiwoldt who won the Coleman Medal with 65 goals.
In any case, the Hawks offered to put Ryan Schoenmakers up for trade last year, but he declined on the basis that he wanted to stay at the Hawks and earn his way into the side (notably, this is just after the Hawks won their back-to-back, competing against two All-Australian defenders for a place in the side in Brian Lake and James Frawley, not to mention Josh Gibson). I can't help admiring him for that choice, but for whatever reason he's given an undeservedly bad name by fans - and this is despite having the sort of loyalty and character every club and supporter should be vying for in a player.

Lance Franklin suffered a fit in a Sydney cafe last Friday night and was rushed to hospital.
He played the next day against the Suns.
