  1. Was exceptional tonight. Very good all round game. Kicked the clutch goal at the end.
  2. Yet saved our bacon with good positioning all night. Go watch it again.
  3. 1. We looked gone at half time then came back hard 2. No one dominated yet we pushed them to the final siren. 3. Petracca looks fitter and set for a big year.
  4. investigates? investigates the facts, or asks question she wants the right answer from. I think there is a difference. she knows what sells and works towards that. The fact she looks above most journs because she actually does something doesn't make her a legit investigative journo.
  5. yes but that's about it maybe elite vision as well.
  6. its a good sign to see the 2nd and 3rd categories so well stacked. I generally agree and maybe Lewis and Vince will drop off a bit in their autumn years now. I think the extra we will gain from Salem and Brayshaw will be more about getting them consistently on the park and performing. They already have both shown plenty. same goes for Hogan. I also think Oliver can improve quite a bit in metres gained. so often he doesn't go forward almost by auto pilot. he could break games open more and become even better.
  7. yes we are all ears ???
  8. Jack Fitzpatrick. it was seriously average.
  9. not to mention Lever is young as well.
  10. game on. now Adelaide are saying Lever wanting Melbourne is 'all good and well' but we are negotiating with 10 Victoria clubs. I think they need reminding of the Scott Thompson deal for a late first rounder.
  11. and our opponents will tag him out of the game like the grand final.
  12. and lose two years first rounders ? no thanks
  13. that is very very interesting. I have used that Port game as an example many times. we absolutely shellacked them first half and should have been 10 goals up. but all the games since then seemed to be like another team out there, we went back into our shell, and by the end looked cooked. I like many just was stunned by those last few games.
  14. if we make finals I would call it a resounding success, we needed leadership, in fact we were begging for it. Don't forget how many games last year where we jus could not stop the onslaught. You may not realise how often he senses the other team getting a run on and starts defending against it. We have had no idea how to do that until this year. In the first 12 games no-one really got hold of us and Lewis was a key difference (Hibberd as well).
  15. yep we can only go on what we are seeing and his first year is a massive tick for me. absolute leader out there.
  16. everyone who has said Lewis was finished last week, please hope on board and give us your view.
  17. The assertion is not an insult to our leaders at all. Have a look at our record with those leaders in the team over the past few years. Lewis has been critical to us when the game is going against us. Far to often when the momentum swings like the 2nd quarter on Monday, we have curled up our toes and got shellacked. Goodwin will have him as one of the first picked every week.
  18. Its why Hawthorn were so effective yet not winning the clearances. You can shut down the opposition in other ways. and when he gets his kicking game going he is vital to setting us up. will be top 5 in our B and F this year.
  19. go watch the replay and concentrate on his defensive efforts, his positioning and being a key to stifling Collingwood in the second half. As someone on here said, you don't have to have the footy to be effective. He could do the same game again and he will not be dropped.
  20. if he just looked to 'draw' the contests he would tackle more I think, but if his opponent isn't marking it his aim is to beat him and gain possession. We have a beauty here.
  21. Yep credit where credit is due. We just want to see it more than one week. big game against the doggies, so we will see if he can back it up.
  22. good luck getting Essendon to pay anyone for any wrong doing.
  23. I was thinking the same thing. OMac is probably going to give more than Weideman as a forward and TMac can go back a bit more depending on the side. Would work for Collingwood with Frost taking Moore.
  24. It would be hard for the hawks but may I say how incredibly terrible for the league and a vomit in the mouth moment if Hawthron after acquiring Lake from the struggling Doggies, then acquiring Frawley for the struggling Dees (and acquiring premierships because of it), then just go and get a third key back in May. How sickening that would be, if its not already showing how free agency is the catasptrophic flaw in evening up the competition. Seriously Hawthorn have no objective to develop through the draft, to develop Hawthorn players. just pillage other teams lists and the AFL rules are to blame. and its sickening to watch.
  25. May looked very quick and is a decent kick with a good grab. He and TMac would be a strong combo against talls, and both have very good pace.
