I just thought the Frawley link was to obvious and had been mentioned before. 

Impey and Wingard have “improved” out of sight as players as well. Win some, you lose some, the Hawks player development is the big difference compared to the Dees.

Wingard has improved??? What games have you watched

 

When Wingard’s current contract expires I can’t see him being offered another one.

Wingard won’t get another contract once his current one is up. 

The Hawks give these players 2 years. Some stick around, the others are let go. But they are always looking. 

After yesterday Hardwick will do similar, one spot on the list is all you need.

That's a low bar to set!

It's the Hawks system that is what's so good. 

Their development is overrated.

Sure, they developed Hodge, Franklin, Roughead, Mitchell and Lewis, but IMO that's more about system.

And all the FAs and trades they've brought in for quite some time have been role players who have fitted into a system.

They don't have enough guns now, so their system doesn't stand up like it once did.

Surely... surely you aren't serious.

We do need an irony font.

But seriously, why would a person leaving be placed in such a representative position.

i reckon it could be an indicator that he stays.

Personally I don't care that much. The whole squad needs a real change of attitude  and approach. None of them should be looking at wage increases until they win a flag. I don't know how popular most of our players would be to any other club they have proven nothing. Every one has potential but few have shown it consistently.

Clarkson ain’t Stupid. 

The Jury is still out at Melbourne 

Clarkson may not be stupid but he does make mistakes. Frosty would make a great forward in rugger, with his build and speed.

Pros

He is tall, super quick and durable.

Cons

His marking, kicking and positioning are inconsistent. He has yet to show that he can play as a genuine key defender.

How much of salary cap do we pay? 

 

I heard announced on SEN Langdon and Tomlinson IN and Frost OUT.  Is this not the case?

I don't think that's been officially confirmed, but it looks as though this will be the likely outcome when all is said and done.

So between rounds 1-8 in the Best and Fairest count Frost isn't even in the top 10. Bloke by the name of Marty Hore is currently sitting 7th.

Primw example of what the coaches think of him. I'd rather keep him if we could, but he's no big loss if he leaves.

Frosty's middle name/s is/are "dances to the beat of his own drum".

You missed the air quotes around “”improved””... as in he hasn’t. Hello McFly!!

?


 Not happy! Whatever we get won’t be worth what we are giving up unless there is a player swap that hasn’t been talked about so far.

Just reported on 7 he has requested a trade to Dorkthorn

Should we have a look at Dougal Howard from Port as replacement?

The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • 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?
