    Any Hawthorn fans that can provide advice re Sicily and where he's been training? I was hoping that Barass would free him up to intercept to his little heart's content, and Battle would be the guy to shift forward if help is required up there. But nervous Sic will be the one to go and help in...

    My memory was it was far more unaccountable footy than what teams do now. Mainly though, was horrible for the culture.

    We also had a very aggressive gameplan. I didn't think leading patterns, I50 efficiency, etc., were much chop.

    Our forward line wasn't so hot when Chaplin was in charge of it previously. I don't understand that thought process whereby you take someone who is good elsewhere to fix something somewhere else, rather than just going out there and getting the best freakin' guy you can find to fill the role you...

    I must say, I like the sounds of this Harry Sharp chap. Sounds like a character from 1960s British spy novel, what? Now that I think of it, George Smilie was a popular le Carré character... :think:

    Reckon there's a fair chance that Trac is never the same again, if he's having such issues mentally dealing with his injury... bit like Cam Bruce after Guerra buried him in that tackle in '05. Feels like we might regret not taking McStay and a signed Doug Barwick Scanlens card for him now.

    1 trade left and a team that looks like this: Fisher is the biggest problem. Like SELFCONFESDAFLNERD above, spewing that Fisher played, or would have been a straight swap to Moore... was tempted to that last week. Now I think the best I can do is Tobias Punchy. Any other options/suggestions...

    Hey buttox Makeshift Park and any other Roos, Will Dawson looked the goods.

    Looking at Jones -> Richards with trade number one. Then I'm uncertain... OPTION 1: Jhihyehyi Clark -> Freijah OPTION 2: Tom Brown -> Sexyton Clark had a big game in the twos, so may come back in, but is just as likely to start sub or get subbed after sharting out a 24 from 15 possies in 3...

    These questions plague me also. Was all set to go Howes -> Reville/Sullivan then Fyfe -> Bont this week, but it would appear that Sheez is likely to stay a mid for the foreseeable future and averages ~90, maybe 100 as he warms into the role. That's okay if you only bought him for $450k as a...

    Oh, I agree with needing redundancy, but surely 6 first round mids is sufficient? And, what forwards? What defenders? They're bloody lucky to have landed Nick Larkey for a pick 73 and Zurhaar for a rookie pick! At what point do you start to invest good picks in those areas? After 8 *in' years of...
