Fitzy gets a game this week, (somewhat at Vickery's expense.  Crickey, Richmond sure cleaned up on that deal:  pick 26 as the FA comp pick, after some shenanigans between the two clubs).  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-05-12/vickery-will-get-his-chance-says-clarkson 

Clarkson: "In this case 'Fitzy' put together six or seven great games of footy that just meant we had to reward the player who had been the better of the bigger fellas". 

I've always liked Fitzy (tunnel ball notwithstanding) so its good to see he is getting another go at the Hawks.

    Love Fitz and very happy to see him get a game.

    This comes as no shock to many, but something of a surprise to me... I really thought Vickery would produce some good footy for the Hawks this year.  Quite to the contrary, he's been terrible.

    As some astute poster has said, the "Vickery effect has struck Hawthorn this year. Similar in some ways to the Malthouse effect and the Buckley effect at Collingwood over many years.

    Bullies tonight. They find a way to win. Plus they benefit from the Bontempelli effect.

    Getting to that time of the year when one needs to starts to think about following a second team so as to maintain interest in the season.

    I used to like the Eagles as they played a good brand of football and Natanui was good to watch as long as Bruce and co weren't commentating.

    Having difficulty picking a second team this year.... probably end up with GWS simply because if they win the big one it will not hurt as much as when the Doggies won last year or dare I say it if the Toiges win one.

    Go you Orange Men !!

    Tonight will be a big test for the Eagles. The Bulldogs have continuously fallen across the line and have shown themselves at risk of good marking counter attacking football especially teams with marking forwards.

    Weather in Perth today is 22 with a very low chance of showers. Could be the usual evening dew. All in all has the hallmarks of a good game. Eagles by 20 points.

    Shame Vickery didn't play last weekend. Good luck to Fitzy. Oh the irony of two ex Melbourne ruckman playing against each other this week and we haven't got one.

    The sporting version of junk food. No flavour, overly salty and sweet but not too spicy with predigested texture so it doesn't work the gums too much. May lead to constipation or gastric reflux  if eaten regularly.

    Some big outs for the Dogs.

    West Coast will likely be 6-2 after tonight, yuk.  Wish they would go away, they will never do anything in the finals.

  • Quote

    I thought Fitzy had been delisted at the end of 2016. Oh well, I was wrong. And I don't really care.

    Tipped the Eagles at home tonight. Didn't know about the Dogs' outs. Just as well I tipped the Eagles. :P

    disagree - boyd is better at ground level, better in the ruck, better up forward, competes way harder, and is significantly younger...and only double the salary.

    really, they're both young, not as good versions of cam pedersen ;)

    What's your point, mate?

    I hope you're not suggesting we haven't had a crack in every game.

    Given we've been in the game in every last quarter...

    Redpath is good honest footballer. Very underrated IMO . I'd love him at Melbourne about now.

    We have been having a crack Sir it's just been our disposal, lack of leadership and decision making that continually screws us over.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
