The Backyard Charizard

I too am suffering a touch of shock at the moment... If this happens then unless the football gods cruel us with injury I may have to book some holidays in September

Hahahaha.... You special man....

Which player spreads both butter and his wings, yet remains ocean-bound? Spreads butter and has wings.... Ocean bound.... Anchor our midfield? or future captain of our ship? OK... Thinking out loud.... Flying knife... Fyfe... Clint has it I reckon....

Jordan Lewis' parents already getting involved.... I like it!

On a Sunday evening..... Are you serious? I need to refresh my mind before another week at the grind stone... I can't sleep as it is... Boo Riddler.... Boo....

I have never bounced between threads on DL so often as I have in the last 7 days... The thought of having a midfield that possibly consists of Jones Viney Tyson Lewis Rockliff With the below rotating through Vince Oliver Petracca Brayshaw Gives me goosebumps!!! If this scenario eventuates I will be a happy man... and I am sure I will not be alone in this feeling of joy

His name is Brendan McCartney in case you were wondering or needed it for any future claims you would like to make...

Who???

You've hit the nail on the head mate! I've seriously disliked the bloke for years but the reason is obvious... He's been a star in a seriously successful outfit and is a 'one in all in' player who gives 100% effort at every contest... Not that long ago the Hawks lacked hardness and leadership whenever he was out of the side... This trade can only end up good for our blossoming bunch of hard nut midfielders!

Spud of the highest order! "The only thing to fear in football is the football itself" - Ty Vickery's motto

Looking forward to the many falcons he will deliver to Vickery next year.... Both by hand and foot! My hatred for the Hawks has reached levels not seen since Chris Lewis and the West Coast days

Lewis is fighting for premiership favouritism for my most hated player along with Ty Vickery... Would be tough for me to warm to him!

Jason Dunstall is well and truly refreshed but I'm not sure he fits our needs

I go in to every season now should have read "every season from NOW on" And please refrain from using the N word in future

My days of being a glass half empty member are over... I go in to every season now with the utmost confidence that we make finals... Hawks had their "line in the sand" moment... I may have possibly just had my "line on the mirror" moment

Redheads very rarely make me hard but this lad is the exception to the rule! Huge upside for next year and beyond... His finals form in the VFL was fantastic and if he hits Round 1 fit then the league better look out! Brownlow smokey for mine if we win enough games... No pressure Clarry!

Will be another huge improver again next year... Beast mode will be reached by Round 1

Richmond, North Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Hawthorn, Carlton, Essendon and Collingwood should all fear the emerging Demons... That's a minimum 8 wins right there just by natural progression.... Considering we will probably play 5 of those teams twice that could be 13 straight off the bat... Finals is on the way people... Get excited!

Very much confusion....

Demonland - Making every poo thoroughly entertaining

28:40 mark of the 3rd qtr replay Had a terrible quarter with the boot and was probably more angry at himself than VDB... but still not a good look when the team is leading going into 3 qtr time...

5aa sports show had Caro on this arvo and as they were signing off the chat Stephen Rowe said "Caro, your mission this week is to dig around Nat Fyfe" To which she replied "Hearing strong talk of him maybe moving to Victoria... In exchange for Hogan... It's seriously gaining momentum" I can only report what I hear so there you go

THIS....

Bit late but thought I'd link to this interview the 5aa boys did with Goodwin last week... Goodwin pretty much said that he has spoken to Thommo in the past about a coaching role only.... Not as a player... Will get one last year at the FruitLoopz https://soundcloud.com/fiveaa/newly-inducted-melbourne-coach-simon-goodwin?in=fiveaa/sets/rowey-and-bicks

Spud of the highest order! Have watched him run around in the SANFL many times live and I think he has country footy written all over him... Stay away from my club John... If we picked him up I'd be spewing!
