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!).

    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?

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
