He was only smart, because he had plenty of time to study while injured, if he'd managed to spend more time training/playing, would probably be dumb as dog shit. It's one of life's great dilemma's:grinning:
I know you can't compare under age footy to AFL, but his draft video package certainly highlighted very good skills, regarding kicking depth/penetration to advantage, hopefully he can bring that to us over a long career, as you state, with only 8 games with dogs, hard to get the full picture.
I'm going to throw in one from left field....John Blakey, from the age of 30-35 (Seasons 96-01) missed only 2 matches, in an era where North were playing 22-25 games a season, averaging about 18 disposals off half back, great user of the footy, still had good pace, tough as nails, couldn't ask...
I've never been a fan of Hawkins, but i think he's improved, i think age has moulded him into the ultimate professional, can't quote stats, but just watching some of his games, in a world where goal kicking has become appalling, he seems to have worked on his kicking and is very dependable.
I think everyone's got this arse about. If we retain Brown, he hopefully kicks 40/55 goals, Larkey is the man, if we keep Brown, Larkey in my eyes, becomes a 60+ goal kicker and if combined they can get it to over 100 between them, we're not finishing 9th!!!
I make this comment broadly to all of us, but I think the time for pointing out deficiencies and laying the boots into players departing the club has been and gone, these posts should be thanking them or wishing them well, if not, then.....shut the fock up!!!
Certainly not trying to be a smart**s, but isn't it amazing how with so many injuries, all of a sudden, a career has been kick starter (at least at the moment)
Also, not exactly sure of our injury numbers, but if we did have a list of 35 next season, if we had this seasons injuries to cater...
I love the way the the game day thread always starts with funny memes and lots of banter, kisses and hugs....10 minutes in, enter the shitshow of abuse, death threats, etc :D May i suggest some of you leave the thread by Page 10!!!
I'll bet he said it running away!...agree JZs kicking skills are shit and I wouldn't have selected him to be honest, but at least least we're paying for the whole footballer, not one that can only use one side!
Yeah, I guess I was sooking about others sooking, and yes I was as pissed off as others.....but am I going to turn my back on the club and not buy in next season.. NO, which is what the post was all about, those that are JUMPING OFF and NOT BUYING IN FOR NEXT SEASON, read the post, hence why...
If there's one thing worse than our performance tonight, it's the pathetic comments on this thread by those that sook it up with emotional and or on the piss comments about burning their membership! i'm not renewing next season! they can shove it! blah, blah, ficking blah.
Just **** off then...
