They're called a cheer squad? And the dude sporting Woewodins hair style looks to be the prime motivator

The people who refuse to find a negative because things are going good appear a little sheepish too. Balls Grinter was one of the only people not emotively blaming the umpires after the game and actually discussing the tactical nature of how Hawthorn played. I agree though that how we handled the situation when things weren't going our way tactically was a step forwards.

Who will take McGovern if he goes forward for a last quarter to arrest a 2 goal margin? Edit: Next year I can see the massive benefit of playing Preuss in the ruck as we put Gawn in defence for big patches of quarters as the opposition have momentum.

His positive/negative ratio out weighs other players on the fringe it seems. Just as an aside, hearing him talk in the media has shown me that he does have a mature head on him, so perhaps that is one element of his continued selection, having a mid who understands his role and where to run and position himself under different circumstances. Whereas other players in vfl are more raw and more likely to have a team crippling critical error ridden match at this stage.

How has Hunt been in the vfl to replace Tyson and alternate at hb with fritsch? Hunt may have shown his best over a year ago, but it's far more than Smith has shown in totality. Too big a call? I wonder if Salem will pull up ok this week wasn't he holding a cork on hammy or calf early on?

Bit of credit for Jordan Lewis. Came into the middle often off the square and became a reliable link in each chain. Wanted to see him in there in the big moments all year as i still think he has plenty of fighting spirit to give like in his hawthorn midfield years. Loved his bump on worpell. HE stepped up and contributed when needed. Hope we see him in there next week often with pig and jetts and the rest very steady down back

I think our defence has gone up a level on that round 22 match too. But yes a massive effort required and a little bit of luck our way and we can match it with them and win. I'm less impressed with their footy IQ than I am with hawthorns, so I don't think they can negate our game style and we'll have a bit of a high quality shootout again.
-
I thought even too. Pretty bad lack of recognition on this board for a decent negating effort by the Hawks for a good amount of time and executed their skillful possession game well. Took away our strengths and had their chances to make it tight. We obviously are a class above in pressure and took our chances. But no, UmPiReS TrIed tO WiN tHe GaMe foR thE HaWkS

Id prefer Peter Combe and a rendition of newspaper mama every day

He's a good looking fella isnt he? I hope he hasnt retained those boyish good looks by keeping his nose out of the incoming impact of a contest... like someone we know. Are there any draftees with squashed noses in the viney/selwood/wines mould?
-
dont think it says anything really, correlation not equalling cause n all - having said that i reckon the only person trying to psych out our players was Chris Tott who had a face on him like a baboons arse

You've really set the bar low Bobby

I just want to say, it's nice to not have to peruse the main forum and its discontents, looking for trade rumours and discussion. Peaceful and quiet in here!

Does anyone have an approximation on how much of an offer we would have actually been able to put forward?

Maybe we could squeeze out one of their players. Ben Jacobs is arguably the leagues best tagger and hasn't re-signed. He obviously has concussion issues right now, but we do have a good track record with Brayshaws recovery so far.

Ideally Hogan plays an Adel-Tom Lynch type of roaming HF. He was doing it in the first half of the year, i'm confused as to why he hasn't been doing it in the second half? Foot injury would explain why it seems
