If anything we need the rules to favour pure rucks and not the thugs who just crash into them

They will do away with the 6 6 6 rule if we keep improving.

The game plan that immediately fell apart without a tap dominant 211cm ruck? Smart bloke!

Dumb. Did not watch the game. Reeves made a difference because he gave our Mids first use.

Nice to know that Daicos has no idea who our players are.



"I felt something in my knee a little bit when I went on the ground and it was pretty sore and then in the third quarter on the impact of the Hawthorn player I straight away knew that something wasn't right," Daicos said.

Well played, number 36

Just watched AAA and I swear the verbal gymnastics that flog Damian Barrett goes through to refuse crediting the Hawk's list management is truly astounding.

He sounds like the MB posters, was rebutting with "oh look at the ladder position".

Love to know why Pickett and Rioli at 3QT saw fit to approach the spectator who touched Pickett during game.

He had us tank the first season he coached us (2005), so we could get a priority pick.
I made a lot of money on this, it was just so obvious.

I am pretty sure Buddy Rough and Lewis started in 2005.

The irony that it was Blanck that got him wearing 36. Another flog in a match sim at training in 1981 wearing 36 for hawthorn had the ball 80 m out and had three guys lead at him and he ignored them all preferring to go the low percentage torp. Of course it sailed through, and when the coach ask Ablett after this why he ignored the leads, he said "I don't even know who those guys are, I don't even know their names."

Maybe it's the number.

Sam McLure couldn’t remember his name on radio yesterday saying “I’ve gone Blank on what the players name was…”.

Unfortunately the guy isn’t witty enough for it to be a joke…

The best TV after we have a win is watching that nobody squirm and move in his seat uncomfortably as other praise what we are doing .
More of it I say

Others like kane are going the ‘many said hawthorn got it wrong but’

Seems like the ‘many’ is now just purple

Got to give him credit he’s been managing his career for life after football for a long time now. And he’s such a great bloke too…

Been thinking about North's request for extra assistance and the more i do, the worse the idea seems to me, not from an equity point of view or because asking for more top end talent as a solution to your problems when you already have so many top 20 picks does not make sense (although both of those arguments still stand) but because the impact on the morale of the players must be terrible. When we started so badly this season, Sam was asked if he would be requesting a priority pick and he said no without hesitation. He said all the ingredients we need for success are here already. Contrast that to the message North's hierarchy are sending to their kids - 'we do not think you are going to be good enough in your own right but dont worry, the professional organisation you have joined has a strategy to turn things around - we are going to beg for help'! How can their young players have confidence in themselves if this is how the club views itself? I wonder it if is a coincidence that even with half the top picks they have, our team is heading in an upward direction while they continue to languish.

Denmark dominating the Matilda’s at present we are not defending well.

Ah reverse psychology works every time!

I’m not watching. Is it a rerun of Saturday’s game? ‘In this performance, the role of Hawthorn is being played by Denmark.’

They'll be getting something , if nothing else the AFL want North off their backs

Good first half - absorbed the pressure and scored. Was afraid during red time that they would do a hawks
