The speed in our forward line is greater than Richmond's. Hunt, Bennell and Kozzi are all lightning. We also now have run and speed on the wings. It might not click this week but we have the right team now for our chaos footy.

Yeah I think they were / are too

I'm all all about HB but I got a greater appreciation of Ross Lyon after that interview.

Funny Gary Lyon mentioned it in the interview on SEN this morning. Said 17 is a legendary number at Melbourne but wasn't sure if Brett Lovett could get there for a jumper presentation.

Having gone through Burgess trading program I have a feeling he might come back with a bang. The talent is there

We had the flu go through the team before round 1. Shouldn't have played in hindsight. We'll probably be awful in the next few rounds with so many players not used to playing with each other. Cohesion is important and Covid19 meant we couldn't even train together.

The only way this could get any more exciting is if Brett Lovett did the jumper presentation.

And toss the coin.

He started on the bench for most of the first and ran out of puff in the last but in 2nd and 3rd he almost won us the final off his own boot. I wish we had burgess back then.

Corona comeback king - Harley Bennell

Don't want to derail a thread on the best news story of year. But TJ never played a bad final. I think he put his lifestyle choices on hold for the big games. He was a pleasure to watch when on song.

No Bennell can actually kick.

Here comes Harley.

Does it matter? From memory he also had 30+ possessions that game. Put a tagger on him and it's one less that Oliver has to worry about.

At least we didn't take Ty Vickery.

I'd settle for half as many Norm Smiths.

We have nothing to lose. He plays.

It's been more than 15 years. Closer to 25. When we were about to merge with Hawthorn I used to email my opinion to Andy (Mr demonland) and he had to keep telling me to write on the forum. I think the software changed about 15 years ago and didn't keep track of your history.

Clarkson and Dimma were both almost sacked and were hated by their supporters. In this thread I have read Goodwin is too innovative and he is also not good enough tactian. It just amazes me how negative some people are.

HB to be the good news story in an otherwise horrible year for the AFL.

HB will be the good news story of an otherwise [censored] season. Vandenberg will sneak under the radar.

I've had the fortune of meeting Neita on a charity event for mnd. Believe me he bleeds red and blue.

I'll still boo Tom Scully, Collingwood and Adam Goods

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but it amazes me some rate Davey higher than Farmer. Farmer dominated finals and came close to winning us a premiership off his own boot. Davey was a Good kick, revolunised the way forwards play with intense pressure but he was no Farmer.

Our game plan of winning contested possession and bombing it in to the forward line will be more effective when HB & Kozzi are floating around.
