Luke Hodge is by far and away the best leader in the AFL at the moment and you would be delusional not to think that. Thread made by a Melbourne supporter who is trying to raise his self esteem after realising they are going to lose their Number 1 draft pick to GWS.
Hawthorn i believe deserve to be 3rd favourite for the flag, i believe St Kilda are far too short in the odds, but that is a different issue.
We have 2 gun fowards Roughy had a good year last year kicking 53 goals 46 Behinds plus many more misses, when we weren't getting the ball down there...
Rioli Brownlow/ Buddy Coleman/ Hawthorn Premiership.
UNfortuantely Sam Mitchell to go to GWS and be Club Captain and Hawthorn receives 1st round compensation pick.
Against Hawthorn Brett Ebert always seems to go alright, i know he is probably a bit better than average, but he is surely alot worse than some of the other names such as Franklin and Edwards being thrown around.
I'm am not going to claim to be unbiased, because we are all biased, though many believe Hawthorn are overrated, and i believe this has been true over the past 2 years, I believe that this year with the added experiencd of Bruce and a fit Burgoyne we should go VERY close at winning the flag, and...
Where will we realistically finish?
2-4
Best case scenario?
Premiers
Who will surprise in the Hawks team?
Isaac Smith, Jarryd Roughead
Who will disappoint?
Birchall
Jeff Kennett's obligatory outlandish statement?
Hawthorn will clone Lance Franklin, after his 3rd consecutive 10 goal game.

Don't have Photoshop, just whipped it up on a website.
Enjoy :)
DC was a great coached for Bonbeach and pushed alot of young players through, giving them games in the 1's whilst the team still be competative, will be a great coach for Box Hill Hawks.
Well Done DC.
I think with the Hale pick up, we need to pick up Hill has the 4th medium tall. I still have my doubts about Hale, but i do have faith in the coaching panel that they wil do an excellent job. I think we might have our foward structure like this.
HFF: Osbourne - Franklin - Resting Mid(...
Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
Just heard on the Radio that there is a rumour the Brad Sewell for Mitch Clark. It is a rumour so probably won't have much credibility. Thoughts if true??
I barrack for Hawthorn and we had every right to be arrogant after the 2008 Premiership, because we beat the "unbeatables", we outclassed them.
Goddards makr was a great mark, but i think Stewy Dews' all 3rd quarter beats it :)
We need a fair bit of luck (has do every premiership side), but i truly believe we have the cattle to do it. Personally I believe our first goal should be getting an injury free pre season, which you can't control, but also making the Top 4, because if we make Top 4, we will win the flag...
1. Nominate the top 15 placegetters in the Brownlow count.
1 pt for each correct answer, an additional 2 points if they are in their correct placing.
1. Dane Swan
2. Luke Hodge
3. Gary Ablett
4. Brendan Goddard
5. Alan Didak
6. Lenny Hayes
7. Chris Judd
8. Matthew Boyd
9. Scott...
Absolutely Shattered :(:(:(
But on a side note, wondering what you guys would be willing to give up for Tarrant. Maybe a draft pick, but i think Freo would be asking for more than that.
It would be great if we could get Tarrant, but i would rather have another outside quick player in saying...
Stratton to towelled up Pavlova when he goes foward, Buddy to kill McPharlin and kick 6 and Rioli to have 30+ disposals and kick 3.
In saying that
In: Hodge
Out: WhiteX (very stiff)
Bring It On!
I am prepared to cop criticism for this, but i think Peterson is a player which is all Icing and No Cake, he has all the skill and the X- factor, but seems to not be hard enough at the ball or contest, i think he could go missing in a final very easy, but in saying that he could also take 4...
Good tough game, hard to make changes, Freo will be raring to go so no certainties next week
Ins: Rioli :D, Young
Outs: Whitecross,
Get Jeff to complain to the AFL so we can have 23 players this week :)
Good to have selection problems though.
Pretty Obvious ins this week IMO, i didn't see the game only saw highlights but most of the highlights resulted with Sydney having numbers at stoppages and taking the ball away from the stoppage. I also think the SCG didn't suit us, didn't give Young, Bateman or Birch a chance to run and carry...
I heard Dermott on SEN say that Sewell is not as quick has he was 2 years ago, and can't keep up with the elite mids anymore, so he said that they may be dropping him for some improvment with his running technique.
Ozzy and Rougy to kick 10 between them.:)
Huge game for us this week, win we got to 6 and will be 2 games clear in the 8. I reckon Ladson might come in for Schoenmakers, Geelong have a small foward line and Schoey wouldn't have an obvious match up.
