I hate when Tom Hawkins looks like a nice bloke. Makes it much harder to hate him. 

Don’t worry. I’ll find a way.

    I distinctly remember hearing the saying back in the 70's and it might have started then (or perhaps it goes back a long way)

    So it's at least 50 years old and I reckon the connection relates to the leading full forward and those who passed to that player in that position

    I reckon it goes back a lot further than the 70s, @Macca.

    The expression also recognises the skill and total control of the footy by the kicker in that he can deliver the ball so that it lands on his teammates chest lace in or out as desired.

    Which game is going to be better to watch, Saints/Geelong or Adelaide/Sydney? Can't decide.

    I should be studying up on Sydney ahead of next week but instead I'm watching Geelong hoping for every play to fail and every kick smothered.

    GWS will beat Carlton next win to make the finals. Green will destroy them. 

    Last time they met, Nic Newman kept Toby Greene to only 5 possessions.

    Makes tomorrow’s game more important really. I don’t like our chances against the Swans at the SCG.

    Tomorrow is a big game, if we lose I will back us in to beat the Swans but it will be a bloody tough game.

    Yeah I feel the same, stuck with Saint/Geelong. Would love nothing more for the cats to miss finals this year.

    #30 Geelong should go for weeks - reckless kick in danger.  Rather like King v White though missed the face.  This sort of [censored] needs to be stamped out even more than "dangerous tackles".

    Looks like the Cats went a year early with their Mad Monday theme.

    This is so funny, the reigning premiers can't even beat the Saints

    The commentators are confused.

    Saints are smashing them. 22 scoring shots to 11

    And that won’t happen again. GWS need to win to secure a finals spot. Carlton coming off two hard games. GWS coming off a bye playing Essendon.

    Saints missed two chances to ice the game in the last minute of Q3.  Two set shots from within range - behinds.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
