Eagles won flag without Nik Nat and Gaff, let’s see how the Tigers go.

Apologies, not trying build suspense, more so just massive hours at work and last nights game put me to sleep. A lot of people wouldn’t agree with his stance, he didn’t miss Hogan at all. - Asked for someone to explain to him how someone can just drink/use drugs to excess than hide behind the guise of mental health. - Why is it that when this happens the club releases a statement to the effect of “we need to get around this player and care for him” rather that telling the player that he stuffed up and made the wrong decisions. - No accountability from anymore. There was more but that was the gist, obviously he did mention that anxiety wasn’t an issue when he was playing. I heard it on Sports Tonight on Wednesday, they were replaying an interview between Blight and I think Wheatley. I know many won’t agree but I did with a lot of what he said.

Anyone else hear Malcolm Blights take on this?

One site pulled it another put it back up.

I’m a Sydney based Redleg 11 home game member. I just bought my tickets for Queens Birthday. All that was left was Level 1 goals punt rd end (which I got) and Level 1 wing, then level 4 in the bleachers.

How does citing mental health issues enable a player to bypass a drug test? Why did the players ever agree to hair testing, was it tied into the EBA? cheers

Is it just me or wasn’t there a better photo of him from front on?

John Candy. Who’s Harry Crumb (1989).

I’m glad we’ve got those teams twice, I don’t want to finish 4th like Collingwood last year on the back of only beating 1 top 8 team. We wanted to be a big club, we wanted big games and we got them. Very excited. Hawks have had draws like this for years.

I counted 4, I may have been a Thursday night.

Only 2 games then I realised we’re going back to back AFLX.

Up until rd 22 last season what had we actually achieved?....nothing. Obviously we all want a better draw but I think we need to play the majority of the 2019 season like we did rd 22 - semi before we can start demanding too much.

I rang Bet Easy today to aquire odds for the Suns not to win a game next year. I was told I will have to wait until early next year. This year they won 4 games including upset of the year beating the Swans in Sydney. Having lost both Lynch and May I can’t see them winning a game, making history if it is to happen.

He will deserve some credit.... I was going to ask you what you meant by that but then I remembered how well he played in the first two weeks of the finals.

I think that’s realistic, I’ve always thought key forwards should go into every game with the mindset of 1 goal a qtr. Obviously that won’t always happen but I think it’s a good starting point, aim high.

2019 season.... Freo will beat up on weaker sides at home and Hogan will kick 5. He’ll be the star that the club didn’t do enough to keep. Freo get challenged by stronger sides at home or when on the road and Hogan fails to impact the game. But it will be the midfields fault and Ross Lyon’s gameplay, not playing to Hogan’s strengths. If he stayed at the Dees he would have no where to hide, inability to perform would be seen as exactly that, playing for Freo gives him an out. Once in a generation players(forwards) can take the big pack marks, kicks goals without having to be 20-30 metres out directly in front, kick goals from out side 50, kick them when the game is in the balance and dominate the big games.

Freo got pick 14 back in the Lobb trade, 6 & 14 should have been the trade.

Who was the other player, I can’t think if him....

Could we not have got pick 14.

Why the Suns? Didn’t think they would be needed until later.

My question is, why aren’t other clubs falling over each other in a bid to get his signature? Look what happened when Mitch Clark was supposedly going home.

Exactly, any other possible suitors.....

Thank you both for your replies. I would of thought if they traded Neale for 5, then 5 and next years first round for Hogan, then 6 for Lobb and a GWS pick of some description this whole this would be done. It’s almost like they’ve stuffed themselves for both trades now. Note : I’ve been with no reception since this morning so just catching up with the latest.

Ive clearly missed something, why did Freo trade out pick 6?

Out of interest have we offered him an extension on his contract?
