It feels more like 10% to me.

He is also the most inarticulate journalist I've ever heard. The HUN is a joke, but it's incredible that he is their Chief Football Writer. He's an embarrassment on AFL 360. GW holds that show together. He's not as good as he used to be, but he's a King in comparison to that idiot. And he's wrong.

Also copped a hit early in a tackle that would have tested that trap of his.

Used to watch that video on loop as a kid. -
Bit harsh on Jones and Brayshaw.
-
I'm not telling you that. I agree.

Delistings/trades at end of the season
Adam The God replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
Prestia is just as good as Treloar (if not better). And I think Treloar is a gun. Yes, we need a FF. Hogan can play across half forward, up the ground and deep forward. You do raise a good point though, he's not the most mobile of kids. He is more of your old fashioned FF. If we got him, I'd hope he could play CHF too. -
And I think after two shithouse weeks, we will be.

If they stick to the plan, most of the time, there's no need for a plan B. Bring tackling pressure, win the footy in close and move the ball quickly. Very simple plan really. Oh and kick straight.

Our problem on the weekend was kicking the thing straight, OD. Tommy Mac is arguably our worst kick.
-
Hi David. :D You were never as poor by foot as Tommy Mac is. That's why you succeeded. Come back to the MFC soon.

I can't understand those people who don't rate Prestia. His trade to Melbourne would be one of the biggest coups in my lifetime of supporting the MFC (28 years). -
We'll beat Brisbane. Bookmark it.
-
Or we might just play someone that has a go and chases his opponent. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Matt Jones offers more as a defensive forward than Howe. Rubbish.

Every Hawthorn player has great team understanding. They all work together as a team. Until we start to work together as a team, we won't make finals, let alone crack the top 10. The thing about the Essendon game was had we come to play we would have won. Had we kicked straight, we still would have won. We didn't bother addressing the spare Essendon player, because it shouldn't have had an affect.

Well, he is an A grader. There's really no two ways about it. -

Brad Green's last quarter was amazing on Andrew McKay. I remember pulling my groin from jumping up out of my seat when Bruce kicked that goal. -

Yeah, let's just leave it there. Not a lot to be gained from back and forthing. And so as not to be completely digressional (if that's a word), we should delist Terlich even though he's contracted. -

Glad you came back to us, mate. You don't sound like a Bummer. And I was too young for Healy, but I loved Jimmy too. -
Completely agree, mate.

Yeah, Jeff Farmer was my next favourite. Loved him. I was shattered when he left and then to have him kick the winning goal against us... it was hard. -
I think that's been a theme going back as far as Bailey. Jack Watts, for example, was touted as having great leadership and he does show it occasionally. Grimes, Trengove and now Hogan, Petracca, Brayshaw. These are all guys with strong leadership qualities.
-
Have to keep it close and contested, otherwise they will run all over us. We get hammered by the quick sides, but if the game is played on our terms (see the first half against GWS earlier this year), we can dominate. Sustaining it for four quarters is the tough bit.
-
That I don't have an answer for, but I suspect that plan would eventually come undone or become too suspicious and we'd have less at the bargaining table come trade time. 'Why should we give you a first rounder for Jeremy if he was struggling to get games in a bottom four side?'

1. My dad. 2. Gary Lyon. Loved watching him kick bags on the 'G. The final against the Bulldogs in '94 was amazing. 3. Making it to the Grand Final? I've forgotten any success we may have had. Being there for the Geelong win a couple of weeks ago was pretty special. 4. I was there for 186. I was there for 147 too, but was numb to it by then. 186 was incredible. 5. It's character building being a Melbourne fan and half my family struggle to sit with me at the footy. I get far too emotional.
