jumbo returns

Agree, not sure, but hard at it. Groomed to be the next Matty Whelan? We haven't had a decent small BP since Matty's retirement.

There is a huge reason why the same won't happen to Watts.....it's called competing.

PMan, don't get seduced by cameo appearances from Stef Martin. Will be cooling his heels at Southport by round 3 or 4. He'll forget it's a team game. Moloney is still a finger pointer and not much else.

James Frawley deserves more kudos from the media, from AFL aficionados, from every footy follower. He rarely gets beaten. Has survived an avalanche of inside 50s over the last five years that would have broken many a defender, remains strong, committed and brave. ALWAYS beats the Riewoltds. Our lazy (inept?) midfield rarely give him support - Jonesy excused. Very, very, important player.

Can't see Davey named in the top 30 atm.

Anyone think that Pederson will eventually show something? Watching the Kangas and the Cats at the moment, I can see why he didn't get a game.

If Davey, gets a hard tag, game over for him. In his final year, he might get a final with Casey because he'll certainly qualify.

I reckon he's injured. He went really hard last year. Knee? Oh - Oh!

Phil Gilbert. Great looking goatee.

I'm loving it!!! [censored], I hate Hawthorn.

You'll be in heaven

Thanks. I reckon if the Hawks blow another year, Clarko's in trouble. The Bombers will always be tarred as being underachievers from 1996 - 2001 as they had a fantastic list.

stuie, help us out, please...MFCSS?? Does anyone feel that Clarkson and the Hawks are under real pressure? I'd love to see them squirm under the media spotlight of underachievers. On Daniher, I reckon the flood killed his coaching and Jeff White was ruined by the circle rule.

Jimmy, you went to Renmark? Good effort, son!

I'm tipping 400 replies to this thread. JW will not shake the monkey off his back until when it's his time to 'go', he 'goes'.

Thanks.

Judging by how many posters are reading this thread, don't tell me that practice matches don't count towards our start. Hard to see the stats, because those FW only named Sellar, Tappy and Davey all day. Anyone have any decent info, please?

Dees win!

Tapscott's the only player they're calling.... fmd.

3 points up...Dees

8.5 to 5.3 sellar 4

Of course. Having said that, wasn't our previous Board also critiqued for its archaic business practices? Practices that failed to raise revenue and were short sighted in their approach?

Can't tell if they're friendly claws or nasty claws.

Why does a surplus in the treasury equate to good governance? Howard and Costello had every opportunity in the boom years to take this country to the stratosphere but were poor visionaries. Abbott's latest policy? 'We'll cut public service jobs?' Wow! Creative, inspiring and has NEVER been done before - the guy's good. That's okay, Palmer will continue to build his Titanic and Reinhart will be the richest woman in the cemetery. Now, back to equity....players deserve the coin they get, the game's brutal. There should be a salary cap on footy departments. I hope we keep our Queen's Birthday game.

I wonder what the last two years will do to the Hawks' psyche?
