The CJ news is bad for footy. The other bloke is a sniper.

Who is CJ? i don't know the Hawthorn players well enough.

 

[Capital Magpie]

Ahh...of course, thanks.

The hawthorn Jiath.

Hopefully TJ doesn't have the same issues CJ has now. hawks spent a fortune sending him O/S to fix the soft tissues, now he hasn't lasted the first real match sim

Yeah at first I was wondering who Blanck was, then wondering why people were suggesting karma… If he’s the spud that injured Daics he’s only guilty of having poor timing and being uncoordinated. No intent there.

Hawks medical department is crap, confident were amongst the best in the league at managing soft tissue injuries/prevention now.

Of the top 30 attendances last year, 15 involve collingwood....and remember we only played 26 games...

 

[Pistol Night]

We’re better than that now aren’t we? No good can come from celebrating an injury to anyone?

 

[domus]

Oh boy!!

Spoke very well!

Impressive that we had the second highest attendance of the year in a game against GWS.

 

[JuniorB]

Impressive that we had the second highest attendance of the year in a game against GWS.

And 4 of those were against Freo, Port, Adelaide & Sydney.
Why does the AFL schedule games against those teams at Docklands?
The numbers show why they should all be at the G.

And no thank yous from the AFL...or some genuine crawling

 

[The Royal Sampler]

mate I don't know about that, nothing good ever comes from dancing on someone else's grave

Improved fitness, dance skills, core and leg strength…

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Improved fitness, dance skills, core and leg strength…

For me it also includes exercise of the bladder.

 

[vindaloo]

With Hawthorn's calamitous pre-season over the past few days makes me anticipate that the Ginnivan trade could well be a stroke of good fortune for us!

Looks like Max Holmes is going to delay a decision until later in the year. Likely still peeved they didn't pick him for the 2022 GF.

HOLMES FEELS AT HOME, BUT WILL MAKE CATS WAIT
Geelong’s Rising star Max Holmes is happy at Geelong, but also happy to delay talks as rivals knock down his door with offers of long-term contracts.

Holmes only signed his second contract in July of his second season so looks set to play out a significant chunk of the season without a new contract.

It goes without saying Geelong would love to secure him long-term before the season starts.

The unflappable Holmes has made no noises about leaving but given the likely timeline for his extension rivals will have all the time in the world to make pitches.

Holmes was overlooked for the 2022 premiership side despite making a full recovery from a neural hamstring issue but rebounded to play 21 games in his third season.

Despite his breakout year he didn’t finish top 10 in the best-and-fairest with Ollie Henry awarded the club’s best young player trophy.

So with the world at his feet Holmes will let the season unfold as he proves he has the “Judd-like traits” that Patrick Dangerfield predicted could make him the best player in the competition one day.

i really hope we get him
(and bailey smith too)

I think we could land both

 

[Bianconeri]

But but but, Collingwood lost a prelim and then won the flag the next year so that means that Carlton will too!

(Nevermind that GWS is the far more likely team to pull this off)

TBF based off the 2009 prelims you’d think the Bulldogs were a better chance of winning the flag than the pies.

I beg to differ. All I saw at the time was intent to injure. It's in the eye of the beholder I suppose, but I was anticipating ramifications in the first Hawthorn meeting this year. Now nobody will have to get themselves suspended, which has to be good.

A refresher video.
Hawks player stands his ground and braces for impact.
No intent to injure. And if there was the Hawks player is a genius to plan the resulting injury from that contact.

If you actually believe that was intentional then Maynard should have been rubbed out for life.
