1 red eye 1 blue eye

The Hawks level of gamesmanship is top shelf. I was stunned at the opening bounce of the last quarter to see Hill having a fabulous conversation with Harmes, anybody else see this? I'd love to know what the hell he was yapping on about, even seemed to have Harmes on side with whatever it was.

The delayed telecast of the game just finished here in the West, I was praying to God, fallen family members and friends in the last qtr but to no avail and then the commentators talk the Hawks up and I just want to fn spew.

Looks good to me too and I'm not scratching my head like I have been for multiple weeks. There's a lot to look forward to on Saturday now, Trenners you bloody beauty, Dawes big body in the forward line and Frosty debuting down back, VDB and Oliver hmmmm.

I knew he was getting closer but I'm more thrilled about his inclusion than I expected. I'm really looking forward to the noise from you lucky people witnessing his first possession.

It's a struggling footy club, followed by possibly the oldest average supporter base, and a natural human condition. Older> grumpier.

we've given our first rounder to GCS in the next draft, unless you're thinking an earlier 2nd round? Welcome to DL btw.

Depending on the severity and going by this he could be a few weeks yet. http://sma.org.au/resources-advice/injury-fact-sheets/quadriceps-contusion-cork-thigh/

They mentioned on the telecast that we had the highest scores against from inside the oppo's 30m. We managed to take it one step further and conceded multiple goals from the point kick out, surely that is unforgivable. Our defending seems to be getting worse as the season progresses, intensity is trailing off for longer periods in the game. We have 12 tough weeks ahead, teams with skill will bring physicality and niggle and then simply foot pass around the diamond. I personally am disappointed, our wins are against teams we beat last year which has the win/loss looking OK but I don't think we have the strength or wherewithal to combat what is coming. Prove me wrong Dees.

How frustrating we seem to need need a loss to fire us up.

Hawthorn, their ex Melb coaching panel is 1 of about 100 reasons, North Melbourne, St Kilda. No, seriously, anybody we didn't beat last year.

Don't think you'll go to far wrong with "Nev" Toad and then ask him if he has another nickname and let us know. Absolutely love our indigenous boys.

I know right, the man's a master manipulator

Boots are brilliant and the indigenous round is gaining a lot of momentum. It's a genuine celebration of our Nations Original People and a showcase for their amazing artwork. I can only see it getting bigger and better.

Wowee this is good this is very very good.

I'm in if you decide to give it a whirl

me too, clear though that bbo is without a foot fetish

Really enjoyed that. Very clever of the Club to do this, the players are on board, improvement is obvious and this sort of insight galvanizes and excites the supporter base. I think we are on our way boys and girls.

We've shown we can rebound well after a loss so I think we'll be switched on for this game. We've also shown we can score heavily, combine the two and lookout!

Until we are consistently top 4, can every wildly optimistic statement posted be auto corrected to add......if we play our best footy eg:- we will win this by lots if we play our best footy if we play our best footy we've got this we will win this by over 100 points if we play our best footy they are a rabble, we'll hit them so many times they'll think they're surrounded, we'll smash them then murder them, box em up and send their sorry azzes back where they belong if we play our best footy

This hasn't happened to me in years, I'm seriously looking forward to the game v Hawks, and playing JT would add a layer to that.

I've noticed the bullies using the annoying Hawthorn tactic of impeding by standing next to the man on the mark. I'd be happy to see it removed from the game or is it "if you can't beat em join em?"

Yes, and the how to win around the neck decisions.

That wasn't much fun was it! How'd the bullies get to be so fn slick?

I like that

especially intriguing when in his interviews he presents as being unsure how about how good he is
