Dominates the VFL but lacks a yard above and below the shoulders at Afl

Level and foot skills which the hawks thought they could fix.

Good decision for us to let him go and when you look at Hawthorns defense it's not a horrible pick up from them.

Absolutely. He's tough as nails but has no skills.

Incidentally, Hawks lost to Doggies :P

I wonder what the last two years will do to the Hawks' psyche?


I've always thought he looked like so much like a VFL player that you could spot it from the moon. Credit to him for sticking around at AFL level for so long though.

That's a frightening profile pic, Alf. I know it's half CW and half AA, but it looks terrible. Or is it really you?

 

We made the right call on Cheney and Buckley - tough calls, but right calls.

Buckley is serviceable but cannot kick, whilst Collingwood can to play a player in the mould of Buckley - we can't.

Chris Johnson was another interesting one, I reckon he'd look back with regrets about leaving us.

Hopefully Gysberts isn't one we regret.

The Gys is the only one of the lot we got rid of that i can see coming back and biting us in the a$$. However is Pedders turns out to be a valuable pick up then it will make no difference to me (as long as he doesn't kill us when we play them!).

He was named in their best

Kyle Cheney Kyle Cheney....hmmmm...don't remember him being at Family Day and haven't seen him at training,,,oh that's right he left over 2years ago...sigh


I liked him for the way he went it but I don't think he offers anything over Dunn or Joel MacDonald.

Out of interest does anyone know who we got for the pick we got for him?

Troy Davis Pick 51

Interesting how the commentators kept pronouncing his name "Chaney".

It's spelt with an "e" and pronounced "Cheeney". I checked with him personally at an MFC function.

Are people mixing the name up with former WA Lib senator, Fred Chaney?

They've got a few too many off field recruits from other battling clubs.

they haven't looked like winning a chook raffle since 2008.

Or Petterd. Already looking like he can be a big contributor for the Tiges off HB this year.

I thought Cheney was okay, and if he was named in the best he obviously wasn't deplorable.

They also seem unable to grasp that Jack TrenGOVE only has one "r" in his name.

Interesting - as so many have been saying over the years "what if x was at Hawthorn, Collingwood etc.. wouldn't they be a lot better."

Hawks also must have thought that they saw something in him and could fix what we couldn't; maybe it wasn't just 'our poor player development' but rather just him?

lets be honest and say he never had the talent to make it, honest tryer

gysberts wont get a game at kangas, last thing they need is another inside mid

Seems to have fitted in nicely in the Hawks' defense. Has been there every time the Dockers have gone deep. Cut off a few low shots at goal.

Hawks fans speak highly of him.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
