whatwhat say what

great win for meth coke; hawks kicked themselves out of it

having a massive game!

hasn't kk been wearing a helmet at vfl level for several weeks now? he certainly was the weekend before last

no insider knowledge, just wild stab-in-the-dark guess work and yep, lewis to go to hodge and negate him all day

IN: lewis, hibberd OUT: hannan, wagner

Our first rounder for their first rounder and Langdon? He’s gonna be worth more than our second rounder unfortunately Seriously good player

Good idea I think, I’m sure as much about mental strength and resilience as physical capabilities

on what medium did pert say that the yarra park plan - which was not under his stewardship either, fwiw - was doa? i only heard him on sen and they didn't talk about it at all it was mostly about the coaching changes (on which he was very strong, despite king reckoning we've treated mccartney like crap) and the gambling issues currently all the rage

be interesting to see who plays well at vfl level tomorrow until then, presuming our key players are back... IN: lever, hibberd OUT: petty, j wagner

robbie gray remains my favourite non-demon just so good with the football

puddy tatts have a terrible post-bye record so yes, the pear are a massive chance

double shot old fashioned here

i liked jones behind the ball for me that's the role for him for the remainder of the year puts severe doubt in lewis getting a game again; in some respects it'd be 'nice' for him to come in this week to play a defensive forward role on hodge...but i can't see him playing unless he has a blinder in the vfl

could be richo's last quarter in charge right now

was very good today i thought what're the odds the mrp suspend him for the high hit on walters tho?

6: Gawn 5: Plugger Mac 4: Viney 3: Oliver 2: Lockhart 1: Frost

I think my bake of T Mac on the game day thread turned him back into Plugger Mac for the second half! Nice to get a win; still a lot to work on

A Preuss who can run out 2 and a bit quarters would be more valuable than T Mac who stops running midway thru 1st quarter

either hill would perfectly suit our system, but as others have said the balance of time and effort put into ed langdon clearly has us chasing him, whereas the hawks have put in the work to recruit brad hill back for at least 18-24 months if stephen hill has decided that he wants out as a result of his brother also leaving, i'd happily have him if we can't get brad, even though he's four years older and clearly prone to injury

hammy went ping, delaying his 300th to a game of far more significance than the one against gc17 next weekend he was absolutely dominant as a forward

i'm presuming cos we didn't have the capacity / desire to match a significant three-year deal for a player who was so injury-prone and regularly failed to perform to a required level

kent got offered a significant three-year deal at the aints; he'd have been a fool to sign with us by comparison

i'm confident he's the sort of player that can work his way back into form cos his workrate is excellent

from all reports it seems like there's a clear 1 and 2 and then throw the blanket over the rest

His inside mid work in the last month has been terrific - it’s where he plays his best football We don’t need another inside mid
