Just gossip, but hearing the Petty thing might be to do with a comment made on field. Not 100% sure atm.

Imagine how good we'll be when we hit our peak in 6 weeks...

They're really not mate. I made a general comment about the perception of Smith. You chose to directly address me saying I had said things I had not even come close to. Up the Dees.

Me too.

Nothing too exciting. Salem out just due to soreness.

You're welcome to quote any posts where I claimed Weid was a great player given that's what you said I had done. I'll wait.

Troy Chaplin confirms Hibberd will play on Cameron. Wonder who goes to Rayner? Hunt?

Annnnnnd straight after that...

As far as team sheets go there's no late changes.

Woah. They've done amazing then to make up 21% in two weeks...

The Hawthorn coach said there was always still time to turn things around, even citing a recent example, while admitting veteran forward Gunston is still mulling over his future. “It’s up to their own self-awareness. We’ve got 13 guys who are out of contract, so there’s 13 who are thinking something, but some of those are Jack Gunston and Ben McEvoy, so they probably know what they’re doing,” Mitchell said. “In Ben’s case he knows it’s his last game and in Jack Gunston’s case he knows he’s going to be playing again he’s just got some decisions to make on what that looks like.

He's agreed to terms, not 100% sure if he's actually 'signed' yet, but it's done. *This isn't official info btw, just what I've heard

In hell..... haha (Midfield coach at the Bombers)

Caracella pls

Was that when I said he's purely a depth player and will never 'break out' or when I said Goody will possibly trade him? Obviously not paying much attention buddy.

Didn't see that comment, but can tell you that we're very much a 'coaching committee' rather than a 'head coach is the boss' type setup. Yze has MUCH more responsibility than your average assistant coach, I would even describe him as more of a 'head coach' than Goody if we were judging the club by 80s/90s standards of such things. He's going to be a sensational head coach IMO. Just to clarify though, this isn't meant to sound like a dig at Goody, he's fantastic at what he does and his ability to focus on his strengths while giving up control of aspects to others was the make or break for us in winning a flag. We lose a lot in losing Yze, but the way the coaching dept has been set up now it's more about someone successfully filling a role.

Smith seems to be becoming some kind of combo of Hawkins, Farmer and Jesaulenko with every post...

And the other 21 played a finals like game hours before...

Don't reckon he'll be in much different condition to the AFL players who played a finals like game that finished 13 hours earlier tbh.

Done deal. (Edit - Just adding, not officially confirmed, just rumour with a good source)

Just mentioned this as part of my reply before seeing this comment. Couldn't agree more, and the differences between the 3 coaches was absolutely stark. Hardwick a fantastic teacher, Dew great with relationships and Cameron just a barking dog.
