Jaded No More

Hawkins is actually a really really nice down to earth guy off the field. He's spent a lot of his own time with a friend's kid in the last two years who was battling aggressive cancer, and is a mad Geelong supporter. But for some reason, when he plays football, he is just the worst. Maybe it's the stuff he gets away with, the blatant holding and pushing, the 'accidental' elbows, and the greasy limbs that do my head in.

Perhaps, I guess it depends what he has set up post footy. He might just be happy to hold us to his contract for a year and then call it day, knowing he's won a flag and his body is absolutely had enough. I am not sure Port or Adelaide would take the risk on a 3 year deal for him with his history of serious foot injuries. If they do, they're frankly mad.

It takes a special type of moron to schedule a game in Geelong on the night of the winter solstice when the MCG is vacant until Sunday. Just play it in Siberia and call it a day.

You're lucky you only had sons and no teenage girls. Would take 1000 dirty nappies over a day with 13 year old girl.

This. How about you get some real proof before posting defamatory rubbish about one of our greatest ever players. He has gone in for scans again on his hamstring. It is possible that ramping up his training post hospital stay he’s felt something in the hamstring again. He isn’t the first player to miss 4 week with a hamstring injury ffs!

A few good results would be: - Saints beat Lions - Bombers beat Freo - Adelaide beat Pies

No chance TMac would move his family interstate for the short time he has left in the game. BB could well agree to retire and take a more active role coaching our AFLW team. He could well have his eye on a role in Tassie in a few years, and this could be a good stepping stone.

I think we balanced contract length with price. Trac, Clarry and Gus probably took less money for longer contracts. The security of 5-7 years is rare in the AFL but we are seeing it more and more in an effort to manage the cap with top end stars. It’s a win win for club and player.

The beginning of a beautiful story I will never forget lying on the floor in my living room, refusing to watch him kick that goal and my husband just screaming “he’s done it” and I started ugly crying like a complete psycho.

I am confused by the confidence. Yes on paper we are a better side. They are missing some key players, but playing in Geelong always means they have the upper hand, especially in terrible conditions. We SHOULD win, but when you play them it's never more than a 50/50 proposition. Their season is one loss away from death. They know that and will come out super hungry.

No chance. Smith has trained and played forward all year. The FD clearly liked what he brought to the forwardline with his pressure and athleticism. We can’t fit anymore players down back especially medium sized one. We can’t even fit Bowey in there currently.

I hate this man with the fire of a thousand suns

Who cares about his AA chances if getting him right increase his chances of getting another premiership medal tho right?

Hopefully. I can give his ribs 2 minutes tops playing on Viney 😂 In all honesty, what medical professional would clear someone to play AFL a week after cracking a rib and deflating a lung? A witch doctor maybe.

I dunno about you, but I always play professional contact sport a week after a 5 day hospital stay on a drip.

Clearly a rare diamond deserves to be treated with silk gloves

JJ getting a full game… who had that on their team selection bingo card?

West Coast should just read "100% given up"

All I said is that I hated his info. Still do. I don't agree with dropping Tomlinson, and I am a firm believer that we won't win a flag this year unless we get another decent tall marking target up forward, which seems to be Petty.

Can Hibbo keep up with Cameron? What if his injury prone legs give way? Also I don’t think Rivers can compete with Cameron in the air. Tomlinson would be a good match up for him and if not you have the option of putting May on Cameron and Tomlinson can man up on Hawkins. If we drop Tomlinson we don’t have many options unless of course we play Petty in defense again, which goes against what Goodwin has been wanting to do all year. I don’t see the logic in not playing Tomlinson, unless we think it’s going to be raining heavily and we know the talls will struggle for both sides so prefer to go smaller and more athletic.

A bigger risk than playing Lever on Cameron?

It makes no sense whatsoever

Say what you want, but this man is a treasure

Nothing screams MFCSS more than Cameron kicking 10 and Rohan having his yearly above- average performance against us.
