Redleg

Well 11 frees to Bombers to our 2 since half way through the first quarter doesn’t help. Bad kicking for goal also killing us.

That is the point exactly.

Hopefully he plays well in a Dees win and you can attack the wine cask with gusto. Maybe if you are feeling generous you could even let the maid have a tipple.

You can now bet on the Dog's opponent next game getting a decent run.

Big night for Weid.

It emanates from the final against the Bombers last year, where he blatantly acted and got 5 frees, most of which weren't there. It was highlighted in the media at the time. He scored a number of goals from those frees. But yes he is a good player and I would be happy to have him in red and blue.

That he was ordinary and if not for 4 soft frees, he has had a 3 possession game.

4 were frees.

What about Max's sore head, from all the blows landed on the back of his head in marking contests, typically without any free being paid to him.

They are talking about later in the season maybe. No spot atm and not ready either.

I see him signing a deal with us taking him to FA.

Who?

My boy Deakyn Smith played a very good game on sunday for Casey. Hope he can keep on improving and push for the senior team. Van Rooyen looks good and Howes could be another on the horizon. I actually liked Baker kicking out, as he ran out and kicked long nearly to the middle of the ground each time. Maybe in the seniors Bowey can do the same, instead of the same old kick to the pack by May about to the defensive 50m line. It would allow more options from the kick out and even allow May to be a target for the occasional kickout, changing up our predictability in this area.

Good times on the lily pad.

Who?

Ah Jacko. Our 3rd and heading to be our best.

Quiet times on DL these days. Has Jacko signed an extension yet?

I am very keen to see how Deakyn Smith develops, as I can see him as a Salem type off half back. Of course he needs improvement and consistency, but I think he is a chance for an unheralded player.

Hawks have adopted a fast, spread game, that older slow teams struggle with. They also have an in form couple of key forwards and a couple of small forward goal sneaks and that helps.

I just can’t believe how this guy has turned his game around. A couple of years ago he was my number 1 delist and now he is a fixture in our team and deservedly so. Well done ANB.

Sensational Bowey first half.

Sorry WYL, but unless you are Bevo in disguise, you can't say that. Only Bevo really knows what he knew.

His career is not over, but maybe it is with Fox. He may not need legal advice if Fox paid out his full contract.

I have thought this for a while too. In the meantime the Hawks are paying him for this year while he refreshes.

Good point. Bevo has got off basically without any penalty, other than having to read a statement that someone else probably wrote for him. To me he gave the appearance of somebody reluctantly reading an apology, that he didn't really believe in. The club has donated $20000.00 to one of it's own charities, big deal. This bloke bullied a journo on national TV, without giving him any chance of reply. It was disgusting. For the AFL to not punish Bevo, seemingly condoning extreme bullying, at its own media conference, is just more hypocritical behaviour by this organization, yet again. The Morris incident the next day is irrelevant, unless Bevo knew of the Morris comments when he made his and then played a part in their distribution, which seems very unlikely. If someone employed by the Dogs or AFL, or wherever, is behind the release of the Morris audio, that person probably deserves the same fate as Morris, as distributing it to the public and hurting an innocent person, is a worse crime than Morris's, which was making some drunken, repulsive comments, in a private setting.
