The club organised hardship payments through the AFLPA for Miller-Lewis 15 months after he was delisted as requested by his partner. At his partner’s request, these payments weren’t disclosed to Miller-Lewis. Wonder if he eventually found this out.

Philosophically we win, we play well, we involve the crowd, we’re unafraid to be unapologetically ourselves, we play exciting footy. They’ve stacked their team with talls to change their brand to try and defeat us, will probably look to play long boring down the line footy. We play with...

Terrific win. On to next week. It’s Easy or CJ for me. Easy because they may opt for a like-for-like so the others can continue in their roles as normal. The player selected is one that the defenders can trust to come in and reliably follow the instructions and the system. Despite not being...

Pretty sure it was Andy Collins. Others may know better than me though.

I thought Massimo was being audacious when he came out on radio after he landed at the Hawks and spoke about his strengths and how he could make an impact at the Hawks like a Gulden or Daicos. Thought this 16 gamer who we’d picked up for a packet of chips should cool the jets. I had NFI.

Watching Andy’s face is a bit of theatre but I grinned from ear-to-ear watching Dermie try his hardest not to piss himself laughing in the background. 😂

Last 15 seconds of Ross Lyon’s press conference. “Are you hopeful that Josh Battle will be at the club next year, what’s the hope? He had such a great year this year.” “Do you know what, when I come in and I get all of the media prep… (mumbles ‘do you know, that wouldn’t…’…) they said, ‘that...

Have found myself wondering how those scallop pies went for those who were pursuing them in the preview thread

Chol Air giving first class service to the veteran on board.

Watson looking at home at the level more than ever and at the right time of the year. Cuts back in so beautifully to open up an angle for himself.

Match will start at 4:30am where I am. Can watch the whole thing in uninterrupted silence and then have the day free to do something nice once my partner wakes up. Fantastic.

So all in all, different players with different attributes but in the things that matter Cyril > still daylight > Watson And with that, I’d like to get back to celebrating how good Watto still is despite that now so I’m predicting that he lays 7 tackles and snags 5 goals this weekend and runs...

The similarity that I see between Cyril and Nick is that they go 100%, which is very pleasing defensively, as it creates chaos for opponents in our F50. In this, Cyril averaged 3.48 tackles in his first year (4.55 over his career). Nick has averaged 2.6 so far. Its just one statistic but it’s...

Bit sad for Rachelle who wants to be himself like Ginni and Watson but went about it the wrong way. Don’t see him like the other two. Not a great look to go after fans IMO, particularly choosing to focus on physical appearance lacks class. Ginni has done it once against the Pies and it was a...

I’ve heard ROK and Bret Thornton may finally be gettable this off season. Wonder if a combination of Schoey, Dowler, Thorpe, Ellis and Pick 18 can get it done.

What did I just watch? :oops: The alarming part is that it is likely effective and difficult to escape as it begins to filter the perception of many young minds. Bizarrely though as they posture to be this nation of superior people that needs to save the rest of the world from moral corruption...

The Golden Glenferrie I believe it was you in the match day thread who pointed Watson has disregarded the set shot routine he’s been working on with Sam and snapped around the corner. This feels like a scripted response from Sam and the Hawks media team to catch him querying Watson but I’m...

It pleases me to watch Dear just continue to fly at every contest and Watson continue to work hard. I loved that effort of two tackles in a row from him in the defensive 50. It displeases me to watch Ginnivan line up for goal with the ball in his hands at a certain angle that he needs the ball...

When I showed that our finals chances were closer to 50% rather than 0% and that the negativity was unwarranted; they only doubled down in the face of clear evidence. I wanted to be more comprehensive this time.

Between this and your stance on whether or not Hawks can make the finals after the loss to GWS... ...what is sure is that you are either a fierce denier of reality or a troll: 28/3 30/3 6/4 17/5 17/5 18/5 2/6 13/6 25/6 21/7 26/7 And there were more than this.

Watson the better athlete? No chance. Agility is a component of athleticism. While Watson’s caused debate about head high frees in his first season, opponents could hardly get a finger on Rioli throughout his career, such was his agility and evasiveness. This is Watson’s thread though so I...

Not sure where this comment is coming from, I haven't seen any change to the way selections are announced.

Thanks for resharing all of these. Much appreciated

We lost by 2 points, not 100. Why would you be calling for more changes than that? And why would you drop anyone but the 22nd man? Would you like us to drop our 10th best player instead? Funnily enough, coaches don't look at swapping the 'least important player' for our 'next least important...

He's had some poor moments but he's shown some really positive signs at other times. His problem at the moment is handling pressure. It didn't look good in last week's game. Unfortunately, its meant that he isn't playing in a high-stakes game this week. He will be given more high-pressure...

Very eloquent analysis. Nicely summarised.

It sounds like they're pissed off. That much is clear. Beyond that... whether they know exactly what they want to do and whether they will execute these plans is up to our imagination, unless you have a level of intel on the situation that stretches beyond what the media reports. As far as...
