chook fowler

Interesting that he mentioned Dean Kent as one of the prime up and comers.

He certainly is a rugged individual. Refreshing to see someone not spewing forth cliche after cliche. Hard to believe he is only 20. Personality a bit like Jonathan Brown.

Reckon PJ should stick a contract in front of him tonight. He wouldn't know what he was signing.

Slobbo about to interview Hogan. As an aside it is nauseating to hear him defend Essendon approach Worsfold behind Adelaides back despite giving an undertaking not to do so, He is not a journalist but an apologist for Essenscum

pPJ will tie him up so tightly he won't be able to breath.

Latte money

I just love watching Salem. His poise, balance and decision making is first class. Rarely turns it over. A very clean footballer. I think Stretch has the same attributes but will take a bit longer to develop his body and endurance. Very excited to see what Peteacca has to offer - I bet it's plenty.

He's irrelevant. Who cares?

In my experience trephining to let out the evil spirits is the way to go.

Also think Viney is ahead of Chunk Jones at this stage of his career in terms of disposal. Viney is a diamond in the rough.

What a Brighton Grammar boy at the Toiges. What is the world coming to.

Rather go for Tilley from Last Cab to Darwin

Remind me, what attributes does he have that may be useful?

Buckley was in a filthy mood tonight. Obviously didn't enjoy getting beaten by the drug cheats.

Too many hyphens - have enough with Kennedy-Harris

Gets very few possessions and doesn't tackle or chase.

Oops forgot Vanders

I think this will be seen as a transition year and there are plenty of positives to be taken out of it. The coming if age of big Maxxy, the silk of Salem and Stretch, the extra grunt and class of Brayshaw, the best young key forward in the competition, Petracca, a fit Tyson and Trengove in the wings, Harmes a real surprise packet up forward, 3 up and coming backs in Frost, O McDonald and White. Lots to like I would of thought.

What have got against Tangambalanga to inflict Wallace on them?

Different types. Michie is good in and under and I think his use by hand is very good. Haven't seen him turn it over too often lately.Newton is a good defensive forward who knows where the goals are. Too slow slow for a purely midfield role IMO.

Watching the replay it was great to see Maxxys tap work. He monstered the opposition. If he continues like this All-Australian honours await. Such a great character to go with it. A real gem has been unearthed.

Liam would have been impressed with Maxxys tap work today. The one to Brayshaw that then was kicked to Harmes for his first goal was a pearler. Is Liam a potential ruckman?

It's quite clear Howe is not worth the dollars he is asking. Doesn't do nearly enough. I wonder if he will get his price. I get the impression Roos couldn't care less whether he stays or goes - I feel the same.

I could say the same about you but I won't. Just beg to differ.

Hope his feet are OK
