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.

I agree Black is one of the best footballers I have ever seen but Oliver could get there or be better.

Petracca and HB can rotate through the midfield and forward line. That could Make us great

Simon Black is one of my favourite players ever. We have Jordan coming through he could get to that level. Oliver is a better handballer Than Black

I just love that he kicked a few out on the full and got reported. He literally did everything in that game and I remember watching it.

A good news story on Garry Ablett snr. The greatest player I have ever seen. Volunteering for foodbank on the belarine penisula. Doing well and making good of his life after football. He visited my aunty today who has a connection with the charity. Everyone is watching the Jordan and Chicago Bulls documentary the greatest basketballer ever but the greatest footballer ever is quietly doing charity work (I think there might be an article coming out but that is to promote the charity )

Bennell will play. He won't start on the bench either. What amazes me is Weid gets support from most on this site and has had one lucky game. All the marks fell into his hands when all the others around him fell over. He was like Bradbury on ice Scates. Bennell has dominated the league when he played injury free.

There is no chance we finish last. Get on Betfair and take the odds against it.
