Hawks are now ready to hit the trade now and get ready-made players. I was very impressed how much speed they were able to generate on ball movement last night. They spread well and have a great ability to draw multiple opponents, flick a few hand passes and away they go with speed and loose players. Their ball movement from defence to attack is amazing. I remember there was a play late in game where they switched from half back, and started going down members wing side and 2 hawks were demanding the ball for another switch into the middle again, but were ignored. They are working their butts off to spread and move into good positions in space. They do well at switching angles slightly with short 15-30 metres kicks that confuse opposition zones, getting through with waves of runnings or small kicks. Very attractive looking football to watch.

This game has a draw feel to it.

Thank you for everything you've done for the MFC, Kate. All the best for future endeavours. Some people here have short memories and downright disrespectful toward Kate. She her fingerprints over 2 premiership cups and yet some can't find any appreciation or gratitude within themselves. Shame.

Sherlock or Wheelbarrow or both.

Looks like Donald Trump in the front row with a hoodie on.

Is that you, BT?

Port are pretenders and chokers. At least we won a premiership.

No news, is good news.

Gratulacje, babcia @WalkingCivilWarwszytkiego najlepszego!!! ❤️💙

It's a yes please for me.

Poor man's Jordan De Goey. No, thanks.

Yep. Started to show glimpses of his talent this season, but no way justified this kind of offer.

Exactly. Think it will be a blessing in disguise in the long run. Would of been nice if Houston was linked to us 1-2 seasons ago.

Maximus Gawnis the God.

Well done, Mitch! We talk a lot of heart and soul players for Demons - Mitch is very much the equivalent for Casey.

@DemonlandI like this version slightly better. Could you please adopt it for future incidents - i.e for later today?

Yet Cripps was 1 pick in number after Kozzy with pick 13 in his draft and he is captain of Carlton and from WA. Plenty more examples and many of interstate teams having Victorian R1 picks that haven't left. You pick players on needs and best talent available, not what state they're from, otherwise 2021 wouldn't of happened.

The topic is good sentiment, however these things ebb and flow in any team and throughout every season. In terms of Fritsch, I remember there were moments where he burnt team-mates in 2021 but he was at the peak of his confidence and he back himself to kick goals. I reckon he's worked on peripheral vision and passes a lot more now. I think this year he passed more because he was lower on confidence. The last game, he was running towards goal 35 metres out and tried to pass a 15 metre kick across his body and it dribbled on the ground where that would of been his bread and butter before.

If Kozzy left it just might crush my soul.

I'm with you. Hard to take kids on 3.20pm starts and night games, few early afternoon games would be good. And no Geelong trip with Collingwood going there for once would be nice.

Makes sense if Battle is leaving.

Yep, he's got another year to go for his contract.

They are in for a world of pain for seasons to come. Bolton is a massive loss and huge gain for Dockers if they nab him.
