Very harsh critics scrolling through the autopsy thread. The kid is still a teenager and would be the lightest player on our list yet he is coming on playing the role of the sub (which is not a bloody easy position to play) and kicks two goals as well as gathering 10+ possessions. This game was...
I don't know how Hale is getting away without scrutiny. The game is passed him, his output this year apart from the nab cup has been deplorable. He is below average as a ruckman and once the ball hits the ground it is painful to watch him attempt to get up off the ground. Should definitely be...
Way to young and immature to be the captain of this struggling football club. I have seen a number of instances both today and in the past few weeks which are cringe worthy for a captain. For example, Melbourne have a shot on goal 15 meters out and Trengove is continuously pushing Addison I...
Very very unlikely... That will not happen. Gibson and Stratton are automatic selections and will play every game if fit. There is definitely a spot for both In team.
I knew I was missing someone and just couldn't think who it was, but yes throwing Stratton in to that back line as well makes it look a lot more solid.
As previous posters have said, we will get a greater scope after watching this weekends game against Melbourne as they have a few tall marking...
After watching the game against GWS for about the third time thanks to foxtels 24/7 coverage this bloke can definitely play. This was his first game and regardless of the opposition he still held the back line together and was extremely solid defensively whilst also providing plenty of run...
Exactly my thoughts.. Whilst Pavlich has been a star of the competition for 8+ years, when the game is on the line and you need your best player to stand up he just doesn't deliver. Its similar to the NBA where there is just so many superstars that it comes down to delivering when it counts that...
I dont quite understand how Franklin cannot be classified as a champion yet or how you say he hasn't been consistent? He has dominated ever since 2007 which is pretty much when Abblet exploded aswell? The bloke has the highest expectation and if he doesn't kick 5+ a game his opponent has won...
Sorry I was refering to catsmaniainamerica's post which was beyond ridiculous and 98% of bigfooty posters woud agree.
I loved watching Hawkins explode in the finals and deliver what was promised for the past 5 years since his debut but that does not mean he is going to be anywhere near Tippet...
There is a massive difference mate. No Hawthorn or Collingwood supporters are saying Gunston or Witts will be the premier forward in the competition.
The arrogance and ignorance of Geelong supporters now posting on this board is ridiculous. Hawkins had 3 good games for the year and luckily...
I have never heard of this bloke before and was just wondering how you think he will go at Hawthorn? With Buddy and Roughy to come back Im quite pessesimistc.
thoughts?
That is damn right ignorant and ridiculous illustrating both posters complete bias.
How old is Nic Nat? 20, 21? So is Hurley born in 1990 so around 21.
What has Hurley done for you to say this, I can understand to a degree NicNat but Hurley, pleaseeeeeeeee. I thought Essendon supporters...
BP: Guerra (very under rated on this forum) FB: Gilham/Schoey BP: Gibson
HBF: Birchall HB: Stratton HBF: Burgoyne/Puopolo
C: Smith Mitchell Savage
HFF Gunston Buddy Lewis
FF Cyril Roughead Bruest (expecting big things)
Ruck: Bailey, Sewell, Hodge
I.C...
Now when Roughy returns and IF and thats a big IF we get Gunston. I believe we should play him off the half back line at CHB or even on the Wing.
We should not play him the Ruck we do not want him getting battered around. His best work was being able to run around and take contested marks on...
Sorry "tender warrior" but how can guerra be dropped and
Murphy stay in the side. Guerra has been bloody brilliant for us and his body work and kicking is so valuable. I can't comprehend why you wouldn't have in our best 22 he's in our vest 15 for me.
Was disappointed tonight, however, very please with the efforts of this team this year. Get another pre season under the belts and get roughy and gilham back and I reckon where looking good for next year. I know we will suffer injuries next year aswell but with roughy and gilham back our...
Mollyfud I know you love murphy but no. In many peoples eyes lisle should take murphys spot in the backline. Ideally Gibson should
Be playing a quarter back role similar to hodge in 2008. That meAns we need schoey and lisle. Murphy is just as slow if not more slower than lisle.
Would someone like to fill me in on clarksons plan with this bloke? After being emergency 1000 times he came in against Fremantle and yes nerves
Caused him to shank those kicks but he showed he's a player. He took 3 contested marks and also hit Cyril with a lace out kick which set up a goal...
Watching the replay.. And call me a hater but I seriously don't understand what he brings to the team accept "leadership". Yes it's about structures but he doesn't offer any rebound or punch or take marks?
Take my word. This did not happen and the pub is the glenferrie hotel hawthorn. Fevola handled the situation very well. He wasn't even at the pub he was at a restaurant next door then came next door for a beer or two. Feel sorry for the bloke as this situation has probably ruined his chances of...
Re: Qualifying Final #2 - Hawthorn v Geelong - Discussion Thread
I reckon our midfield has overtaken Geelongs this year due to the form of some of our guns and the loss of Gazza.
Our ruck division is also a lot more stronger than it has been for a while and whilst roughy has gone down Hale...
Re: Finals Ticketing Info Q&A - Post Everything to do with them in here
Got P3 behind the goals seat DD. Havent sit directly behind the goals before any experiences with these seats?
Tried to get tickets in the olympic stand in the N sections but couldnt and this was at 9 30. I kept trying...
Re: Qualifying Final #2 - Hawthorn v Geelong - Discussion Thread
Not worried about an "angry" Chappy to be honest.. Maybe in the past but not on current form. A good game against a Collingwood side that wasn't trying at all isn't that impressive.. You won by 96 points ... who didn't play well...
CompleteLy agree. The magpies may not have being trying 100% but they have some serious problems coming into the finals. Tarrant down and also Davis with a hammy. Not to mention Thomas not playing until the game before the granny. Wouldnt be surprised to see west coast Knock off pies next week.
