  1. He was bad, always seemed to go for nice lightly built skillful players who didn't have any competitive edge about them

    I don't think we used Hunt correctly in the past couple years. He was made to play more lockdown and we rarely saw him get to use his place in an attacking way.

    Surely you jest. Gunston has had a great career. Love fritta but I'd have them at least on par
  4. Wouldn't be against it. Improvement on the Jordan / Spargo combo. Still wonder why we never put Brayshaw back to his premiership winning position at some stage during the year
  5. I'm sure the post where he thanks supporters, the club for drafting him, developing him and giving him the chance to play in a premiership will come at some stage
  6. Can't get through the paywall, but the headline sure looks familiar. We get it every year and trade period always disappoints
  7. As far as wingers go that wouldn't break the bank. I like Lachie Sholl from the crows. Quick, skillful and a massive tank. He is a bit light but we have enough brutes . Melbourne boy who found himself in the twos towards the end of the year.

    Cats well deserved after 10 years of nearly they got it done

    Game over. Hope we can Jag one when Clarry and tracc are at the end even 1 Soon will do
  11. Tmac just posted a picture on Instagram of the plate and screws he had removed, without comment ready to go next year. Good signs people
  12. Do the dogs have any fringe players that address our needs . I know we where into ed Richards last year who wasn't getting a game, would be perfect for our side. Unfortunately he had too good a year for the dogs to give up

    I agree. Gotta be a better option than spargo on a wing which was tried this year. He needs to be more offensive of HBF , although opposition coaches tended to try exploit his poor one on one and limit his offensive run and often dragged their forward deep
  14. I remember Chris Scott also implying danger had the trotts in the rnd 23 match which danger was unsighted in the last qtr along .
  15. Burgoyne was already an 8 year veteran and married with kids to the daughter of an SANFL legend Greg Phillips and sister of aflw's Erin Phillips. When he joined the Hawks. I'd say his experience and treatment was different to that of a young indigenous draftee . Also highly likely be wasn't aware of it at all
  16. 1. Away game at Geelong 2. Away game vs the bombers 3. Last round interstate
  17. Late first round is about right for Dunkley he is good solid midfielder not a matchwinner

    Agree on ANB. His work rate is top notch and was an important piece in 2021. But chandler or I 'd even try harmes who has shown he can kick a goal and is better overhead than nibber (will need to work on his tank in the preseason)
  19. Thanks for the updates can't get a live stream here in Bali

    Might just fire up the 2021 replay at 2:30 pm Sunday and see the 2022 result when I see it

    If I get the same image with danger instead of Howe next week the season will be somewhat less depressing

    Loved it. Collingwood had their chances. I counted 3 one fisted "handballs" in the last Collingwood got away with can't blame the umpires but of course they will

    Had a very average finals so far

    Haha , push in the back, touched and ball hit the deck. Collingwood fans would be filthy
