    Fool's gold

    Too true. After Toumpas, it went: Stringer, Macrae, Wines. Port bid on Viney (and Daniher) before getting Wines.
  2. Embarrassing looking back. Toumpas and Morton were the shockers.
  3. Gotta keep those Italian skin folds in check.
  4. And Nev now has a job with the filth.
  5. English A grade? Laughable. Reminds me of Watts - all the skills and athleticism, but not the natural competitive streak. "Cody Weightman ...playing A-grade football now"...FFS Buckenara is just laughable.
  6. 8.52 to go in 3rd qtr, Mitchell lays unnecessary tackle on Watts that puts him on his head. Watts remonstrates and Mitchell instantly throws a right cross. Mitchell is a [censored]. Always has been, always will be. Good luck Hawthorn.
  7. Don't mind Long. But offers nothing that we don't already have.
  8. Paywall. Anyone care to give a summary?
  9. Wasn't Williams obsessive about kicking? Kicking coach?
  10. Me too. Murdoch doesn't get any of my hard earned.
  11. Brother? (His brother was on our list for a while, nicht wahr.)
  12. Hopefully he continues to play his role: getting up and down the ground, competing and kicking 1 - 4 goals. Anyone notice how he has quickened his goal kicking routine: still the same huge runup, but gets back quickly and runs in quickly?
  13. That's what I was thinking. The old type "ruck rover", eg Barassi, was actually a big bodied mid. Jackson is the new Ruck Rover prototype.
  14. Watched Chandler 2 times this year in the 1s. Played with lots of energy and intensity, but didn't find space.
  15. Happily, MFC can now play draft picks in the 2s for a couple of years before they get a call up when they're cherry ripe. A la Hawthorn.
  16. 2019 - Finish 17th 2020 - Finish 9th - jump of 8 2021 - Finish 1st - Jump of 8 Not an omen but a pattern.
  17. A lot depends on Cripps. Shades of Trengove - lost mobility. Against MFC this year, couldn't or wouldn't kick. Other than Walsh, nothing else in the mids. They have a good spine, but Jones is overrated as a defender (interceptor only). In passing, Coniglio seems to have the Trengove effect as well.
  18. "Carlton" and "selfless" don't belong in the same sentence.
  19. Not sure Buckenara was much loved by teammates at Hawthorn. I remember David Parkin snorting with contempt when his name came up in an interview some years ago. Recruiting Guru? No. [censored]? Yes.
  20. Agree. But they were expecting Gawn who they can predict. Jackson competed really well and hunted the ball, like Patracca, Oliver and Viney. Doggies were criticised for not positioning defensively at the bounce (they were, Libba and Bontempeli for the last 2; both sucked into the contest). Interestingly, Treloar was at all the bounces. Would've tried Dunkley. I reckon the arrival of Treloar messed with their midfield.
