Re the ADHD potential diagnosis. Interesting thought. I was diagnosed when I was 50, and looking back to my youth so many of my actions and the paths and decisions I took (good and bad) made so much more sense post diagnosis. For DGB (if he has ADHD) maybe the reasons it hasn't "clicked" for him...

Small shout out (maybe a loud whisper then) to this bloke for his game against the Saints. One of his weaknesses this year has been second half fade outs but I thought he was very good in the back half of Saturday's match. Wasn't our best by any means but was more than serviceable and seemed to...

I was at this game with my dad. Dipper got Buddha Hocking with an elbow right in front of us. Hocking was running around like a tool belting everyone until Dipper put him in his place. I laugh when Geelong flogs say "if that game went for five minutes more we would have won". I reply by saying...

Anyone seen/heard how JOS is going this pre-season? With Ginni and The Wizard now on the list is there really any chance of him making his debut this year? I haven't seen him play other than his highlights package so excuse the ignorance of this question but is there a chance he could be...

Basing my preference on who we should pick on nothing more than wanting to be entertained (rather than actually who might be best for us) I'm picking Nick "The Wizard" Watson. We've been blessed to see one of the best small forwards ever in Cyril, we had a bloody good one in Paul Puopolo, and...

I don't think training can take place at Waverley after dark. (I might have this wrong) I assume most umps work during the day and train at night, so until the AFL goes to full time umpires and they can train during the day Waverley wont work for them. Same goes for any amateur or local team -...

As I did the initial comparison let me expand. I wont bother responding about Hird v Day's ethics or morals because honestly i CBF wasting my time. I was only comparing Day to Hird in that instant when he ran at full pace and one grabbed the ball in the centre of the ground. To me it reminded me...

When Day picked up that loose ball in the centre at full speed clean as a whistle did anyone else get a James Hird at his best flashback? To me Day has a fair bit of Hird in his game style and a bit of Scotty Pendelbury in the way he moves. I declare he'll end up better than both!

Wasn't at the game so couldn't see what was happening up the field but Dermie on the telecast was impressed with DGB's leading patterns and his courage in the air. Derm knows a thing or two about how to play up forward so any praise from him is good enough reason to persist with the DGB up...

Worps cops his fair share of criticism and often it surrounds his kicking into the forward line. Yes he does do the old dump hack kick without looking that invariably gets picked off more often that we'd like. However, and apologies if its been mentioned already, but his last kick with less than...

"Relevance" is such an ambiguous term. What makes one "relevant"? Sydney seem to be crucial to the future of the competition (or so we kept getting told.) So they must be deemed "relevant" I guess? Yes? Is Port Adelaide relevant to anyone in Melbourne? Or Freo, GC, GWS etc? Is the powerhouse and...

"Displeased" is the word for sure. He looked like he was chewing wasps last night up on stage. Happy for him to go and Andy to get even more clear air on the board. Who now for footy director? Someone from Sam's vintage who he can work and grow with or someone from "the past" like Gary Ayres to...

A more recent addition - Broc MacAuly. Saw him the other day at the Albert Park golf driving range. Tall unit. Someone mentioned Matt Bourke who played one game in 1989. I read or was told that he holds the record for most times being named as an emergency - something like 26 games. Not sure...

Actually yes I think you're correct. Gowers on Mainwarring sounds right from memory. Either way Gowers won the battle that day. I remember vision of Lewis spitting on Jencke which was about the only thing Lewis did all day. Sumich kicked 5 or 6 but was their only real threat. And Morrissey was...

Big Stevie Lawrence was decimated by groin problems after 1991. His running ability was one of his greatest strengths and the groin injuries meant he just couldn't move around the ground like he once did. He didn't join the priest hood - but he did I believe work for the Catholic church in some...

This is my first post for a while but I'd like to obviously say well done to my beloved Hawks but also thank you to the warm posts from supporters of other teams. Clearly there is a real respect from most learned supporters across the board to the Hawks regardless of who they support. And that...

Our new board member Andy Gowers had a superb 1991 Grand Final. WCE kicked the first four goals that day and we were in trouble. "Growler" got two consecutive centre clearances in the last 2 minutes of the 1st quarter - coming off the wing no less - that ended with Dunstall kicking goals. Kept...

What about Paul Roos on On the Couch the Monday after the Grand Final. They were talking about Brian Lake the Norm Smith Medal winner. Roos said "I spoke to my son after the match, he's a very astute judge, he didn't have Lake in his top 5 on the ground." That to me was the single most ludicrous...

Havent been to this for years but used to go quite a bit. I remember going one year at the old social club at Linda Cres when Schwabby was coach. He talked candidly about how hard they tried to get Wayne Carey to the club before he went to the Crows. Schwabby really thought he might be able to...

It wasn't our defence in last years Grand Final. It was our kicking for goal. Pure and simple - look at the set shots we missed - most very gettable and especially the ones early we missed were crucial. We've been better this year in that regard, but even against the Cats a few weeks ago we...

Matt Ball (brother of Luke) is captain of Old Xaveriens in the VAFA. They basically win A Grade every year so I'm sure he's enjoying his footy. Not sure how many games Matt played for us but it was only a handful from memory.

It wasnt in the AFL but the great Richmond player Jimmy "The Ghost" Jess played with his son's after he retired from Richmond. Not sure what club - somewhere up the bush I think - but I remember reading about him playing I think in a premiership with his two sons. What a great moment for them...

I've been saying this for years. Good thread. No disrespect to the official "Legends" of the AFL like Blighty and Jezza etc but you can't tell me that Tucky has done any less than those two blokes for this great game of ours. I've been lobbying for Tucky to be elevated to legend status for...

For mine its pretty simple. Kick straighter. I know its a simple response but for all our "elite" kicking we still cant execute the most important kick. Bear with me here but when Tiger Woods was absolutely dominating the world golfing scene his main weapon was his supreme, clutch putting...

Not to mention he's tracking with Francesca Cumani - well played indeed! That's like winning the Brownlow right there.

What's happening with Amos Frank? Can't see any reports on him for Box Hill but not on injured list. Any info would be most appreciated.

What's happened to Amos Frank? Can't find anything on him - is he injured?

What about Amos Frank? Is he even playing for Box Hill at the moment?

Good luck to him - what a thrill for the young fella. Ok so who has watched him or can give us a taste of what to expect? All I've heard is "running machine" and "blistering speed" etc which sounds fantastic but can he find the pill? What about some comparisons - are we talking a Jetta type...

Not sure if its been mentioned so apologies if so but why didn't Roughy handball to Goo when he took that snap in the last? Buddy had tapped it beautifully to Rough who had to kick across his body with a Geelong player bearing down from behind. A simple handball to Goo who was running past would...
