Haha Pickett just broke Ziebells ankles and Healey blames the surface

Gosh all going their way, balls bouncing, marks not fitting paid . You make your own luck but we've got none so far today

Caughing it up like a bottom team

We really need 3 key backs. Why Tinker with that now?

Can someone please find a lid for this thread 😅

Only player I can stomach in that team

So conflicted I can't bring myself to cheer for that club

It's been nearly 2 seasons of playing at a high intensity it's hard to keep up . I wont write them off but their game style must take a toll

But they've won.....oh yeah nothing

Good start for the Hawks. Pies look flat

Both Curnow and Mackay have that mongral and want to crash packs and a touch of swagger , attitude that alot of the best forwards have. JVR has it. Weid,schace do not. Jefferson I have yet to see it ( early days). Petty has it

maybe we might go a season without needing to work out how to play Geelong at Geelong 😅

Agree unlike this time last year where we were clearly running out of gas and declining. We are the opposite this year

I think they have named him to give him a bit of confidence, he's had a tough year with selection. I think they will see what he brings and if he plays like he did again I suggest he'll be dropped. Probably will anyway to make way for clarry

Cotchin isn't best 22 anymore. It's passed him. Champion but I forgot he was in the ground last week

By umpires I meant doctors of course 🤦‍♂️

Surley this leads to AFL appointed independent doctors. Wouldn't be hard to get a pool of 20 or so respected doctors to be paid handsomely for a 4 hour gig every other week

Hawthorn buddy was unbelievable and so great to watch majority of Sydney buddy was meh.

Coaches got it right. That's why alot of people myself included, regard this award higher than the Brownlow .

JJ going into the middle has been terrible everytime

Not just you, looks to be injured or had lost more than a yard of pace and slow to react

Too many passengers so far this game, need woey, Langdon, hunter, JJ, Chandler to lift and have an impact

Our midfield missing sparrow and clarry badly

Love to see the cats loose, he's getting up would also be a great result

It is
