Swans by 120 points. Buddy wins Norm Smith.

Hogan will break the banner!

I am a 44 year old Melbourne fan. I have 1 brother. He is a 55 year old Hawthorn fan. We grew up in Camberwell deep in Hawthorn territory. I went to the 1988 Grand Final with my brother. Anyone but bloody Hawthorn. I am hoping the Hawks are 5 points up deep in the last quarter. Buddy takes a mark 70 metres out. The siren goes. Buddy runs out wide on his natural arc. The umpire fails to call play on. Buddy dobs it. I do love my brother!

There must be good Essendon people congressing to overthrow to oust Little and get the numbers on the board and sack Hird and Reid.

From memory he debuted at 17 and thus had to take the field sans Tooheys logo.

Mitch is an elite talent and as such other clubs will inevitably be interested in securing his services. It is in our interest that there are multiple clubs interested and that Mitch factors in the compensation MFC will receive when choosing his preferred club. I hold no beef with Mitch. In many ways the more we understand about mental health issues the less we understand.

Presume the Lions were planning for Beams to extend his Pies contract by a year so it expired at end of 2016 which would coincide with him becoming a restricted free agency. Interesting to see what Lions offer. Pick 4 is the obvious starter but if I were them I'd hold the line and offer only a player outside of their core players. How much will they want to pay for a player who could come to them for nix in 2 seasons as a restricted free agent or for below market value in 1 season as an out of contract player.

Watched him in a few VFL games. His kicking is decidely unHawthorn-like.

Shurely Yze Magic deserves a mention amongst the hallowed named mooted above.

My paternal Grandfather was born and bred in Gawler, South Australia. Not particularly sporty but such a decent man that he did a runner from Broken Hill in 1913 because his landlady was making inappropriate advances. He finally met his match in Cooktown during WW1 in the form of my Irish Catholic (daughter of Hoteliers and Teamsters) Grandmother. Can't say his English Protestant(Congregationalist) Freemason Father was impressed by his choice and by his conversion to the Church of Rome.

I have an inkling that Goodwin wants to build relationships.

For mine Sylvia's main problem is footy smarts. He does not have them.

The challenge for Blease is to improve his endurance, Presumably Misson and Co don't believe he can.

What position does O'Rourke's cousin play?

Yawnfest!

As per tradition shurely the CEOs will seal the deal with a handshake and Bleasey will head off to Carlton for their first rounder.

Blease's problem is endurance. In the modern game pace is useless unless you also have the endurance to run hard from first bounce to final siren of every quarter.

Walker has always come across in interviews as diehard crow, barracked for them as a kid. Unlikely for mine.

Went to Hawks v Cats. Cats and Hawks both need Frawley. For Cats releases Taylor to give Hawkins some desperately needed help up forward. For Hawks Lake will be 33/Gibson who will be 31 in 2015. Of course they could always play Schoey or Fetta as key defenders.

But if Dunny played his role...

Defensive Deeds Dunn Dirt Cheap.

I liked the Blazer. Traditional footy club cobber. Makes em look like sportsman rather than Collins St types.

In the salary cap era players have consistently chosen on field success over maximising contracts. Players have stayed at successful clubs when they could have moved for a better contract and players have moved to a successful club for equal too or less than their original club offered. The real impact on players is that hundreds off them will be at clubs that will never have a real chance of making a prelim much less winning a flag.

There is a God!

Dressing up as the convicted child abuser Rolf Harris and a young girl, presumably meant to represent one of his many tragic victims, represents an appalling error of judgement by Terlich and Georgiou. I also cannot believe that other players, particularly the senior players, who did not take one look at the moronic duo and kick them out of the function. And now I read on Demonland that it is political correctness gone mad to call them out for their moronic and offensive behaviour. Rolf Harris destroyed the lives of many teenage girls. How anyone can find humour in that beggars belief. Tom Potter
