Fork 'em

Over and over again it seems.

You know. More often than I like to admit. I hate Melbourne.

Often players develop into snipers as they age and start to realise they aren't quite as quick as they used to be. So they resort to giving out the odd clip to these younger faster upstarts.

We shall see. I wasn't happy in '88 or the following years. Or 2000 and its following years.. And I doubt I'll be all that pleased over the next few years. Not enough class to get the job done and our poor efficiency inside 50 is a sign of this.

Well considering the last 10-12 years as a yardstick. Last year seems to be an abberation doesn't it.

Considering our conversion of inside 50s to scores has been trash for the last 2yrs you'd think they would addressed the problem over the pre-season. Instead it's got worse. Just shows how poor the coaching dept is.

Pretty sure it's the players who pushed for free agency. They want to line their pockets as much as those in AFL house. "Oh , but our carreer only last 10yrs." You can still work after you're 30 boys. Clarkson had the Dawks doing trials for the AFL as well. https://wwos.nine.com.au/afl/hawks-trial-afl-rule-changes-at-etihad/8e15078f-7be8-4a50-b692-9d75c1b6f69c I also remember some uproar about Clarkson meeting Gill for coffees after a couple games Clarkson wasn't happy with.

3 for the elbow to the cheekbone. Another 2 for stupidity.

The last 2 mins were a comedy of errors that show we make hard work of everything. They didn't give up though which was pleasing.

Agree 100% though even last year our conversion of inside 50s to score was terrible. Just this year it's worse which reflects very poorly on Goodwin IMO.

Hmmnn .... Wonder why you're always in Thailand? Sketchy stuff. I watched it live on TV. Was amazing.

Clarko said it best when he declared that neither one of them were going anywhere this season.

Ho Hum. We were done 3 weeks ago.

JKH has been unlucky. Been playing his best footy for us before getting injured.

Some of them did supposedly. Remember the mum who anonymously rang up Eddie on radio. And I thought Tim Watson and his missus turning up to find out what the club had been doing to Jobe (the captain) was a joke. How old do you have to be to make your own decisions again? I must've been brought up in the wrong era.

Or Missos Dad.

Do ya think. Purple's a [censored] who floats innuendo hoping it gains traction.

Come from the Swans.

Can't wait till Misson leaves. His record for both getting the list fit and managing injuries is deplorable as far as I'm concerned. So he had a couple years at Sydney when they got kissed on the deck by a fairy and suffered no injuries. Problem is we'll probably pick some fool who has even less clue. Cause that's how we roll. However I also find it cringeworthy whenever a players mother or father come out and criticise their childs employer.

Also had a glaring moment early in the last years final against Geelong. Having said that he got knocked into the next week a few years ago while going back with the flight. Massive hit that may still play on his mind.

Funnily enough, It isn't often I feel the urge to get verbal with opposition supporters either. I have however told a few of own to pull their heads in. When the game goes bad as they often have over the years, some of our supporters are a disgrace how quickly they turn and abuse our own players. I find their behaviour embarrassing. I'm far more venomous when I'm in the privacy of my own home watching on TV. At the game I'm inclined to quietly just stew.

And another paper on virtue signalling.

Right or wrong, (not that I'm a drinker) but if I had my drink aggressively slapped out've my hand and over me I'd probably lose my composure for a couple seconds like Baxter Jonesy. There wouldn't be much thinking going on during that time. For every action, there is a reaction. So let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone. And I'd like to see some proof that he was verbally abused like he said he was. Too easy to just say he was called a couple of poor names. And the footage of his interview on Dawk TV is damning for his own behaviour towards opposition supporters.

Yeah me. And then I'll present the character witness on Dawk.TV.
