Im not the list manager. Didnt mean to offend, thought it might have been something interesting to consider but obviously I rubbed a couple up the wrong way with my delivery. Genuinely was not my intention, apologies. Play on.

I had not considered that. Have you got a weak hand next year? How does a F2 and 41 help with points to match a bid, or are you already stacked with enough points anyway?

Is Clarke being talked up a bit much because he is a Falcons lad and everyone wants to diddle Geelong? Seeing it a bit on our board too since the Bowes bullshit. Sorry if someone has asked this but if Alwyn is bid on before 22, surely Essendon do 22 to us for 48 50 52 and 65?? Its more points...

I think you're reading too much into it, I personally think his ankles would resemble a bowl of mashed potato. GWS aren't stupid, they desperately needed the salary dump but his ankles were what got him to us so cheap. Im stoked we got him considering it cost nothing, but Im optimistic, not...

Yeah that was quality. You got a goal son after too, I think, had me worried. It was pretty brutal.

Gunston has had spells down back in most games over the past 5 years. Clarkson has often sent him back to settle things down when things were a worry, so if you do see him in defence, the Bombers are probably on top...

Yeah I know, was just reacting to the posts prior to mine, would normally get a card. Thumbs up for taking it for what it is.

Not sure the OP thought this thread through, basically giving a bunch of Hawks fans carte blanche to pour on the stick on the bombers board.... inb4 lock, go hawks

Seems a huge risk for a team that wil be playing finals. I guess I am a little conservative when it comes to soft tissue niggles after Buddy and I dont know the details of how bad it was, but if he is any chance of making it worse for finals one would think its definitely a huge risk.

If that is your point then I agree. Carry on. He has improved a truckload this year but he has also matured a truckload aswell. It has helped him being in a settled backline that has had minimal changes since the first month. They are all in tune with each other at the moment.

Mate he is 21 and just starting to mature physically this year. Many Hawks were jumping on him laat year but not all. Personally I was disappointed but cited Hawkins as a good reason why we should be patient. Anyone with a skerrick of football knowledge knows not to rate a 21yo KPD on...

Etihad should provide the home team with a slight advantage. We've only played one other game there this tear v the Doggies and it took until half time to put them away. Ess are a much better side than them so a quick start out of the blocks is vital for both teams. I'd be happy with a 2 goal...

Re: Dive Bomber Allert Spot on. Really really dumb thing to do. I dont know much about the guys personality but I hope he wasn't just trying to clear his personal reputation, dont see that bothering SJ... While I think Monfries' performance helped bring attention to Lewis, I dont think he...

Rise above it Phil. :)

For someone who came on and asked that this thread stay civil, you seem to be doing your darndest to turn it back into a slagfest. Going by the last few posts you seem to be succeeding. Shame

Maybe we do. It isn't an ideal situation for the club is it, but I'm not sure how it could of been avoided. I'm still going to see the glass as half full though as much as you may dislike it. Renouf will have to step up early on until his comrades return. We finished 2nd on the ladder...

I'm relying on Mitchell, Hodge and the rest of the leadership group to lead us. Our last 6 flags were won with a servicable at best ruck division. They are not vital to success. Conversely, I would place Hille/Ryder in the top 4 ruck divisions in the league, are you expecting top 4 this...

Who said that?

None taken. For someone who doesn't want them here, you seemed pretty happy to pat the OP on the back for attracting them a few minutes ago... A thread like this is designed to attract them. It started out with a very ugly, vindictive tone.... Now it is just a discussion on Hawthorn's rucks...

Who's still harbouring issues after an entire off-season?! :p PS we're on your board...

Yeah it wasnt this thread that attracted me to your board. I lurk on most team boards, especially this time of the year. I felt the need to post because it was a discussion on Hawthorn's ruck situation. Why it is on the Essendon board Im not sure but it is nice to know you gents are thinking...

Taylor's tapwork is actually very good, he is very underrated in that department. Unfortunately his skills with the ball in hand are where he lets himself down. As opposed the Essendon fans hanging their hat on a newly recruited backup going down injured... ;) Besides, I dont think many...

Are you that insecure that you feel the need to post stats up for someone who agrees with you?

Good enough for me. He's a DT bargain if he can stay on the park. Now that the 'toast' label has been removed, does that mean this is just a discussion on Hawthorn rucks on the Essendon board? How warm and fuzzy

You dont need stats to prove Hille + Ryder are a better combo than Renouf + Grimley/Peterson. Anyone with a football brain should know this. Although I'm not sure how the stats hank did bother to collect help in any way.... Looks to me like Renouf did beat Ryder that day...

They'd go close. North too. Has Hille had a full pre-season?

No. Never said it was. It was my opinion. When I am quoted and a question is asked, I'll usually try and answer it, unless I already have. It may depend on the opposing ruck. I agree Peterson is the first option, but if he seriously struggles the experience will do Grimley a world of good...

Yes. Read the posts right above yours. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you.

I'm only going by reports and a couple of pics on BF but he has apparently got a fair leap on him. Grimley may get monstered but as long as Mitchell and co work on sharking....

I am reluctant to have Roughy runnning in the ruck, especially after he twinged his knee the other day. I say we toss Grimley or Peterson in the deep end and see how they go.
