Hawks star joins Magpies

"Young last night informed Hawthorn, Collingwood and Port Adelaide, which had also made a substantial offer for the long-kicking left-footer, after agonising for days over the decision to quit the Hawks."

 
 

He has ordinary disposal, gets masked by his occasional bomb from outside 50.

This could be one of the worst calls ever made. The guy has a laser boot and is one of the best kicks in the AFL. Was on track for a Norm Smith in 2008 before he got injured make no mistake

Huge trade period by the pies imo......

Trading players for picks and replacing them for free with free agents.

equals same player plus 2 extra top 20 picks......


Eh.

Settle down- they replaced Dawes with Lynch and Wellingham with Young which is kind of a break even result, and they get pick 17 and 18 or whatever it is. Both picks could be busts. Maybe

Anyway I wouldn't say they kicked the trade week's arse. We are the masters of this trade period so far

We've done well but reckon the Pies have done pretty well too - sure, you won't know for sure until we know how good their picks are but they've basically replaced like for like and picked up two free first round draft picks. Pretty good going really. Free agency has some great aspects to it but already I worry that it makes the strong clubs stronger.

They have.

Pies quoted today's in Herald Sun as not being interested and now a Pie. Who told porkies yesterday?


Clinton Young's first appearance with the Pies and apparently he's in a moon boot... bet there are a few nervous supporters out there :-)

Wish some of ours could kick low and hard to advantage like he can

Surely some kicking traing is in order for the Melbourne Players

I have not seen many other sides kick high floaters as often as our guys

It just gives the defence so much time to defend

We definitely need a kicking coach. If not recruit some who can like Clinton can.

He went at 71.9% disposal efficiency this year. AFL average was 72.4%

Melbourne players who went at better than 72%...strauss, watts, frawley, rivers, garland, sellar, dunn, bennell, bartram, davey, jones, jetta, macdonald, moloney, mcdonald, grimes.

I do watch games tho, and I have many Hawthorn mates who would agree with me. but hey worst calls ever made? maybe you're right

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
