Agree. I think his last two games have been quite good. Helps when you are playing with a team as good as Hawthorn. Will be a very tough task to beat Kennedy and/or Darling though

That interview he did with Burgs (I think) after his first game was a ripper. Very well spoken, good head on his shoulders. I'm going to enjoy watching some of our late picks develop over the next few years. Good start ANB.

Apparently it was his wise views on Stuie's wife that got him the month ban Red.

And I'm pretty sure you simply made that up.

Thanks Red. Would've thought that Watts could generate more than $450k. Still a lot of money, Monopoly money really.

I thought the Swans couldn't trade in a player above the average AFL wage? Watts would be above this surely*. Or am I misunderstanding the draft/trade restrictions Gil put on the Swans? Can someone clarify what the story is here? *queue posters saying he doesn't deserve it, blah, blah.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.... FMD

Nearly as brave as bagging him on the internet using a pseudonym

Nice rant. Doesn't escape the fact that howlers were missed/invented by the umpires last night and in general over the finals series.

whitecross suckling and shoemaker are rumoured. hale will retire.

Not sure any manager worth their keep would agree to a contract clause relating to any non payment or penalising a player for the outcome of the WADA investigation

Overrated IMO. Another of those players that punches above their weight in a really good team but would struggle at the Dee's. Suckling is another.

Hasn't been the best finals series for the umpiring fraternity. Some massive blunders with coaches and players confused.

Terrible umpiring and Norf's kicking for goal costing them dearly.

Petrie and Waite are such strong one grab marks.

Ben Brown need to stop going up for mark with one hand only. Hard to take spectacular one handers as a big forward, unless you are Hulk Hogan!

$10mill over 6 yrs? FMD that's a lot of dosh. Wouldn't want him to do a knee or bust a leg during that time.

He's pretty good at the second efforts and tackles. Poor kick though.

Goldy giving the WCE rucks a bath so far. 8 mins in and had 10 hit outs and a number of important marks.

Grow up. Seriously.

Hawks will have a fair few battered bodies for the GF next week. Shame that Freo couldn't make it all the way. Sick of Hawthorn GFs.

Fyfe really struggling. Stress fracture of leg apparently.

Frawley doing well now. Pav not getting as much of the ball. Helps that the Hawks putting the Freo entries under tremendous pressure

Freo missed shots that they really needed to nail
