  1. You guys are surely taking the Pi55 !

    Mitch CLARK wasn't born with an "e" on the end. So show some respect.

    ox_5 ? C'mon. That's not like you.

    Otherwise spot on with the votes...

    I apologise HT! I have no idea what happened, and I have edited my post to correct it.

    It pi55es me off more than most, and I made the fatal error. No excuses, but I am going to blame doing it on my iPhone and not actually thinking.

  2. I cant stand LLoyd but he said on the footy show this morning a possible top 7-8 pick and we have already signed him for 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone know much about this?

    He signed a 5 year "contract" when we declared our intent to take him. 2 years before he is officially drafted, plus 3 after he is drafted.

    He wouldn't actually be getting paid for last year and this year, but it's just an agreement to enhance his development.

    Public knowledge ever since we announced we were committed, no scoop from Lloyd.

  3. I think Fitzy has earned a chance, so bring him in for Sellar.

    That would be my only change. I'm confused by the calls to "rest" or drop Magner. Yesterday in the second half he was given a job as a defensive forward on Scarlett and did a much better job than Sellar.

    Bennell maybe comes in on form also - maybe at the expense of Bail.

  4. As a pass it did not.

    As a shot at goal, it did.

    He wasn't having a shot at goal, and it was in the last sconds of the match (ie tired legs).

    From memory it was off his left boot too?

  5. You are right about 1 thing we do represent "sunshine" - "kids" love sunshine compared to your "darkness" - "kids" love positive feed back compared to constant Negativity - "kids" love playing with their mates in-front of big overenthusiastic crowds - "kids" in 2012 hold the power in AFL football 2012.

    Some clubs have recognised this some clubs the "culture" is stuck in another era.

    PS "kids" love the Internet - oh and they can read just FYI - but you go ahead and get rid of your ray of sunshine. Sorry we choose to speak a different language to our "kids" - the glass is half full & the "sun" will shine on the MCG again because we are prepared to invest in our "kids & their mates"

    I hope you have relaxed a little overnight Mikey, yesterday seemed like a big day for you.

  6. Given our impotent forward line, he's unforced absense has been one of the stories of the year.

    Amazing we can't find a spot for him. Though I concede he had a very poor game V Wc (who didn't).

    Maybe we trade him to Gold Coast if things don't work for the rest of the year.

    Our forward line has actually been good when it gets in there, which it hasnt been anywhere near enough. That's midfield impotence, not forwards.

  7. Thanks.

    I blew my [censored] at that too. FFS it was a game changer.

    Leader my arse.

    Moloney made some big blunders last night. There was the incident you speak of, but the one that made me lose it was when he decided to take on another tackle on the 50m line instead of just getting it on the boot which was his first thought. Tackle, turnover, 2 passes, goal. Spirit killer.

  8. Tom was great last night. I was frustrated with his disposal early on last night and he still needs a bit of work on it, but his defensive ability, elite tank and footy smarts will get him a long way.

    Great game Tom.

  9. I like that Neeld is challenging Cale by regularly putting him in the centre square. Cale won some inside ball and cleared it well, driving us forward on many occasions. He played smart footy for the conditions.

    He has definitely got bigger too.

  10. Frank Davis.

    played for Victoria, captained melbourne

    been a hawthorn scout/recruiter for years.

    and by years i'm talking over a decade

    From what I can find he was the recruiter back in the days of Crawford being drafted. But he has no acknowledgement now on their website in recruiting staff for this season.

  11. who is that?

    Our club has more issues than that...

    why does one of our ex club captains, continue to be a long term scout/recruiter for Hawthorn and not for us.

    No idea who you are talking about Friday???

    I have thought all the way back to Barassi and none of our ex captains are involved at Hawthorn.
