Trac's next appearance on ALF 360 should make very interesting viewing. I hope he gets his story straight.

would be great if we could swap mcqualter for Leppitsch

I reckon going to the draft is the go. I have every confidence in JT. I don’t have near as much faith in Tim lamb.

The Alice game was a bolt from the blue. so uncompetitive but i still held out hope. I finally accepted defeat after the doggies game. It was obvious we had our mind on the beach.

One less thing to worry about

I don’t think criticism of clarrys throws is fair. It’s the one area of his game that has held up this season.

I'm very sceptical about what I read in the media. Also, public relations = propaganda, so I don't pay too much heed to what gets said at a press conference either.

I've been very critical of Clarry's performances If he's carrying 3 injuries it explains the big drop off. You have to question the club's injury management processes here. why would you be playing him with these injuries? Pert's review should have a strong focus on this area of the FD. This playing through pain/injury mantra needs to be reconsidered imv.

huge tank and huge heart. Gave his all for the cause. Smashing bloke by all accounts. I wish him the very best. I think his attributes really suited our system. Will be interesting to see how in goes in another team. Like many on our list he is not skilled enough by foot. If we could swap him for Houston i think it would be a net positive.

None. What’s your point?

I just want her to deliver a home base. She's been on the board long enough now to have made more headway with this project. Thats her area of expertise and specialisation. If she can't deliver this then not sure what the point of her on the board is.

Low bow from Cornes here. it's open season on us. Best to get the flak jackets on cos i reckon there's a tsunami of BS coming our direction over the next few days/weeks

There’s more to life than footy. I’ve kids and a busy job so fitting in games isn’t always possible. I’m not going to get on supporters backs if they don’t want to go. It’s their decision. But spare me the lame excuses. We have a small core, relative to other clubs, of hardcore fans that will show up hail or shine. That’s the reality for us. No point self-flagellating because we had a small crowd at a late season game when our chances of finals have all but gone. This is who we are. Best to accept rather than engaging in loyalty tests and turning on each other.

jesus wept worse excuse ever if he was playing forward and we were winning i bet you they would show up

He's been a good pick up

Hawks will win their 2 games aginst tiges and North Carlton play Eagles next week. I don't fancy them to win that at all and especially if Curnow is injured. I don't know who falls out of the 8 so they get in. I reckon they're cooked.

you know its not Carltons day when Cripps gets pinged for a throw

Carlton have been torched today. And looks like they'll be out of the 8 to boot. Great to see

This thread is full of post hoc rationalisations It's a question of mindset. If you want to go, you'll find reasons to go If you don't want to go, you'll find reasons not to go

he's dead to me. just another oppo player

I hate the Hawks but they are playing blindly footy at the moment. very hard not to admire the way they go about it

Hawks only 2.4% behind Carlton now. Keep up their rate of scoring and they'll overtake them on the ladder.

curnow hurts his ankle. doesn;t look good

hawks not afraid to kick into the corridor and have nailed a couple so far

Hawks skills by foot very good. much better than us
