It's about system. If Buckley can do it, we can too. Down goes a troop, up steps another. Zone defence and assured, predictable play based on hard running and work rate.

Nice [censored] teasing. Hope you go under soon, Fairfax.

Reckon we'll try and model our game style on most good teams. Predictability and slow/measured play from the back. Chaos in the forward 50.

The panic and naivety around Frost leaving is hilarious. Definitely pushed and should be a depth player. Our defensive system will be a lot more solid now. Every defender can trust their team mate will be where he should be. Frostball means chaos in the back half and the only part of the ground where chaos works is the forwardline. Hawthorn's defensive system now has a part that can be exploited by the opposition.

Aren't you a scout or a member of a recruiting team at an AFL club? I thought you were.

All of them are too expensive. Doesn't mean we haven't reached out.

Who would you / are you drafting this year, Stevo? Who's your top 5?

Real like for like, isn't it?

All I can hear is this bloody cover band...

I'll admit here that I haven't watched Casey enough this year, so should reserve judgement, but it is a worry he wasn't able to at least get one game. You can hide a small forward a bit. As long as they tackle.

Pretty strange that the non captain wins the leadership award again. You'd hope one of your two captains would clinch it. Maybe he has.

Maybe just upping his trade value before trade period.

Lol, Daz, mate, you might have gone a bit early on our superstar backman. Sprinting from the back of the pack into 6th. Now, just wait for the turnover.

Was about to say exactly the same thing. He could barely move in the first few games. Clearly carrying a groin injury or something like it. Could barely kick the ball. Shows how much we struggled in those first few rounds. Yep, just the first few rounds. We were great after that.

I think Bedford is a worry purely based on the fact he wasn't able to break into the team in a year where we were crying out for small forwards.

Couldn't possibly have been mate. This is ET the Trade Breaker.

You gonna wear your mask, mate, or try a few without it?

Interesting that both of the chaos coaches (Beveridge and Hardwick) come from the school of control (Clarkson).

You tell us, TradeBreaker. Don't you mean "Scott Burns is confirmed for the Adelaide gig #ETradeBreaker™©️"?

Good call. He was in the 2016 draft. Thought it was strange he was only 19. What a derper. Very true too. Shut up, A F. Let's get back on the Ben King train.

You tried to compare their stats. That was my issue. Not their asking price.

If you make the comparison with us, May is the lock down FB, Lever the intercept marker, Hibberd is the run and gun. We're just missing the designated kicker and general. Perhaps Jones can play that role in 2020? Great comments though, mate. Thanks for sharing. Actually a very nice guy is Damien. Fascinating hearing how Hardwick and Buckley turned their careers around after internal reviews. Let's hope Goody can take heed of a similar review. I'd also proffer Sav Rocca as an alternative.

And since I'm on a roll tonight, maybe Jeremy Cameron is gettable on a 6-7 year contract?
