Exactly. Agree 100%

One thing I have always envied about hawthorn is the way they man the mark with purpose, regularly going way over the mark and always get away with it. I’d like us to push the boundaries a bit more in that area.

The scoreboard flattered us but we were missing a few (that are now available) and WCE were pretty much full strength. Spargo was putrid and surely can’t play round 2. Cost us several goals alone.

It has already been around a month since round 1 and doubtful that we will be back playing before July.

What a ridiculous statement. OMac was one of our best. Comprehensively beat Darling.

As a health professional who has read a lot about the crisis, I have found the events in Italy terrifying. You are right that the mortality rate is low (around 1%). In Italy it’s closer to 10% because everyone has contracted the disease at once and the health system is completely overwhelmed. They don’t have the capacity to ventilate anyone older than 60. It’s nuts. The measures that are being taken are to prevent everyone contracting the virus at once. If we spread the process over the next couple of months we will be fine. But if everyone continues with their normal activities and spreads the disease rapidly...we could be italy #2. So suck it up.

Dahlhaus, Steven, Duncan, Henry, KK’s brother, Menegola, O’Connor, Parfitt

Castagna is the worst kick in the AFL

Four of the ten (including expected number 1 pick) are tied to clubs. Makes the pick swap look very smart if we can finish at least 12th.

He’s hardly undersized for a ruckman. Seems close to average (assuming he grows another couple of cm which you would expect at his age). He should do well as a ruck. The question mark is over his ability to play as a tall forward for the reasons you stated. But no one (on here) has seen how he did up forward at colts level after the champs

?

I think it might be Hayden Young. To replace Heath Shaw at half back

If we want Weightman we need to split 6 or 8 with Geelong for 14 and 17 and get an extra player out of it. Doubt any other team would pick a small forward (that is not Cyril Rioli) before 15. It would be crazy to take him at 8.

Our 2019 3rd round pick and future 2nd pick for Langdon and Freo’s future 3rd round pick might work (though seems indeed for Freo).

Hopefully we can get the Hawks 2nd round pick for Frost and pass that along. Pick 22 has a lot of value

We must get one of Elliott, Butler or Gray

Yes. Gray or Butler would definitely appeal

Good point. However there were much bigger question marks on Watts and Motlop than Tomlinson who has an excellent attitude and is durable, if a bit vanilla overall. Rockliff has been good for them when on the park - that would be the concern with Elliott.

As if he’s on $500k. Where did you pull that one from?

Some in the media have been giving him votes ahead of Haynes. Baffling

Played his role really well today. Outstanding workrate. Kicking was hit and miss. He'll be a good pickup, without being outstanding.

I know it has already been mentioned but spare a thought for $cully....sucka! I think Amon Buchanan's celebrations were directed right at him

Geelong’s kicking around the ground and ability to create a contest inside F50 has been the difference. Tigers tend to come home strongly though.

Higgins has been at north for 5 seasons already. Hardly recent. Pittard is a turnover merchant, would have us all pulling our hair out. He’s barely afl standard. Polec is a good player. That’s it.

Kicked 4 goals today in the VFL including 3 in a huge last quarter. We should go hard after him. Their salary cap is very tight and we wouldn’t have to offer a lot to easily exceed what Richmond could offer (plus that he would be almost guaranteed best 22 for us).
