The only time I've ever come close to getting into a fight at the footy was against the Saints in the 98 finals when some lone nutjob was racially abusing the Wiz.

I want to like this but have apparently met my quota for the day so will have time quote instead

WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Viney was IMMENSE

Anyone gonna argue we haven't improves this week. Not only did we beat them we did it convincingly with a team with far less experience. We're on the right track .

Give me a hell yeah! HELL YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

What about the non-50 to Brayshaw well after the umpires blew his whistle? We turned it over and cost us a goal instead of having a shot from 20-30 out. Definitely would've been paid the other way

And all the commentators trying to protect Rioli don't want him to get weeks. Pathetic.

Nah rather target Mitchell he's a sniper and a suckhole the worst combination in sport.

Wow what a joke - shirt front someone high no free, brush your forearm against their cheek blow the whistle!

Pretty much all their goals are direct from our turnovers- sort that out and we'll roll them.

Isn't that what happened last time we played haha

Agreed thought the personal issues could've taken 5 minutes and the other 25 moved on to footy. Similar to the Grinter one where he tried to dwell so much on the Wallace incident. Sheahan is great at finger-wagging, that's why I didn't feel too sorry for him last week.

How is it a secret? It was pretty much common knowledge that that's what was going on. Trengove would've been a Tiger if their medical staff didn't pick up his foot issue.

Elementary, Abe!

Who is he? I've never heard of him

I think reality has started to hit most of them now

Exactly - would people rather the players hated him like Neeld?

This should be pinned so it doesn't drop off the front page.

The Hawks players love Clarko and the Doggies love Beveridge - I think it's all a bit of hand-wringing and a massive beat up if you ask me.

This makes sense I hope you're right

His pace is the issue, if he can't get back to the point where he can be effective at this level then he's cooked. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go somewhere as a DFA at the end of the year.

It's part of the reason we turn the ball over too often and fail to take advantage of transitions across the ground. I was talking with my brother on Sunday and saying the reason you transition is to open the game up, create space and move the ball forward quickly into space so teammates can run onto the ball and move it down the ground. If you kick backwards/sideways then wait too long and just chip it around then transitioning is pointless and you may as well just bomb it down the line.

This guy is the linchpin of our defence. We would be stuffed without him down there.

He had a lot more "hitouts to advantage" but really we weren't able to capitalise on his dominance and found it hard to get moving out of the stoppages. For all Gawn's stats I thought he was ineffective on the weekend and was well nullified by the opposition coaches (as he has been in our losses vs Saints x2 and Port).
