    Seems to be more in control of his limbs. Oscar is sometimes incredibly slow to get it to boot or to hand

    oh sorry i meant number 25 :) I can see what people mean re Ryan's pace. He has good hands though. Better than any of our forwards.

    Henry Smith is 25 right? Doesn't look 206cm to me but maybe the one camera not doing him justice, certainly taking grabs for fun. But surely he plays this year - really should have played ahead vs GWS against Briggs.

    Game Day The nearly trustworthy Dogs V The untrustworthy Lion 7/6/24 Marvel 7.40 pm

    G'day dogs fans You certainly have a few out, and theoretically hard to kick a winning score against our defence which has been the one reasonable part of our game. We have no excuses on the injury front despite our own outs as most of them are out for the year so you can't keep banging on...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Father Son watch MKIII. Operation Ashcroft jnr. Featuring various academy boys.

    Draft gurus, under current rules what would our discount limitations be? Top 4 - only 1 discounted father son or academy? top 8 - 2? any other rules? Saw today Marhall being rated as pick 12. Having that second pick instead of Ryan could really have been handy, especially if it ends up being...

    Game Day Round 13, 2024 - Western Bulldogs vs. Brisbane Lions

    Theoretically this is a great chance to give our season a pulse. We are now missing only Ashcroft through injury aside from those not returning this year. So we ain't getting much better in 2024. They are missing some of their best players: Naughton, Weightman, Darcy (so 3 of their best 4...

    Review Round 11, 2024 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

    his decision-making to me seemed fine on sunday. snapped the one he should have, drop punts for others. tbf one was quite close from a tightish angle. a couple were just total shanks though

    Review Round 11, 2024 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

    It's interesting as he kicked a sizzling pass in the second quarter now that i think about it so maybe it's somehow just all in his head. seems weird to be consistently kicking so much shorter though

    Review Round 11, 2024 - Hawthorn vs. Brisbane Lions

    I'm not surprised. Just disappointed. THE GOOD Neale - tried his guts out and looked a class above. Lohman - tried hard. Kicked a couple. Actually chased and made things happen. Morris - not getting heaps of it but good hands and good set shot. Looks a perfect third forward. Find of the...

    I really hope we keep Ah Chee in to play the linc role. Linc a very underrated player and ah chee the best like for like, good in the air, good pace and tackler. They should let him settle in to a role for the first time!

    Preview Round 11 - Hawthorn v Brisbane 1.10pm Sunday -Marvel

    I think the weird thing about Sharp sub for me is that his strength is being able to run out a whole game, not insane speed. So sub doesn't really unleash that. Anyway not going to agonise over it! Interested to see how he goes. Not sure he has much to prove given the hawks wanted to keep him...

    Preview Round 11, 2024 : Hawks v Lions, 1:10pm Sunday 26th May, Marvel

    Naive question from a lions fan - i thought Maginness tagged midfielders? Sounds like he is not playing anyway. Neale is still our most important player in my view, surprised more don't tag him as he can get frustrated. Just waiting for Gunston to kick four on us haha. He looked awesome in the...

    Preview Round 11 - Hawthorn v Brisbane 1.10pm Sunday -Marvel

    Hmm. Brain out unlucky. Won't pretend it's an outrage or that he will be the difference between winning and losing. But i thought he was better than Answerth last week so should have stayed. Seems clear to me we will be playing a tall for hipwood, only question is whether that is sub or 22...

    Daniel Rich kicks 8

    Love this story and desperate to know if it was from half back. But i would say none, zero, nada. He was slowing down badly, and would have trained off. And despite kiddy going down we are not actually short small defenders, mckenna, brain, zorko, wilmot, answerth all in the mix with starce...
