Michael Jordan used to get a VERY favourable ride from referees. He'd just look at them and they'd call a foul. Sort of like Hawthorn. Everyone loves a winner, including the umpires. But if I have to hear Bruce and BT commentate one more Hawthorn game, I'll spew. I hope some bikie gang kneecaps every single Hawthorn player as they get off the team bus at the airport.

Wade Lees!!

Who would have thought that ditching him was one of the best things we've ever done?

He did get reported, but the TV shot was a funny angle. Live, it looked like he absolutely smashed McDonald-Tipingwuti late, but on replay from another angle he brushed him high with an elbow but practically zero impact. Having said that, Bernie has been rubbed out this year for something similar, so if there was any consistency (LOL) he would probably get a week.

There was absolutely nothing in it. He'll play.

1. It's guaranteed money for three years. Would have thought that's a no brainer. 2. When he signed, he was getting a game.

Yep, keep changing the goal posts. 'Constructive criticism' is revisionism at its best.

He's a free agent anyway, isn't he?

That bump on Dawson was hilarious. It was like playing on a cardboard cut out. What made it so easy though, was that Jesse had worked Dawson so bloody hard he could hardly breathe, so had nothing left to give. Our boy is getting smarter about how to play the game all the time

Sorry, but for one of our Grimes bashers-in-chief, this is a bit rich. You've done nothing but call for the club to push him out, and now you are suggesting that it is his decision whether to leave and that that somehow makes it ok to heap it on him constantly on these boards. Give me a spell.

I'd take the Bont. He's an awesome talent. And I'd keep Christian. By definition, we're not going to get value for him because he's all upside. He's in the same position trade wise as Watts was a couple of times - not worth letting go of for what you'd get. FWIW, he'll be fine, and will end up a star.

I disagree. I miss his hilarious posts enormously.

Agreed. I think he's one of the top few hardest at it at our club. Probably Vanders, Viney and not many others ahead of him.

Doubt he's going anywhere now he's had a good look at that rabble.

They were good ones too.

And Watts up to 10th. How long since we've had two in the top 10? Neitz and Robbo probably?

He did that a few times - he said 'took the force of the brunt' and there was another one in there too somewhere that I can't remember.

Atta boy Jack. Fantastic to see.

Eat a dick, Grimes haters.

You're not seriously complaining are you?

Love that the App works 28 seconds before half time. FMD.

Wow. Didn't notice it the first time round, but certainly did that time. And did Ebert vomit or was it blood coming out of his mouth immediately afterwards? Whatever, he was clearly in big strife, and was definitely helped down by Mitchell. I've said it before on these boards, Mitchell and Hodge are the two dirtiest players in the league, bar none. I absolutely loathe them.

The problem is that most players might do that with the right intentions, but I have no doubt whatsoever that Hodge goes out of his way to hurt people.

Oh, and I am so F ing sick of watching Hawthorn and Richmond.

Hodge is a filthy, filthy barstad.
