Joyce is well on the way to becoming one of those guys that plays 200 games,, wins his matchup every week, is always in the first 10 picked,never wins an award, will get 4 Brownlow votes max in his career and we'll all be devastated when he retires

Extremely well said ST.
His development has been remarkable to be honest. Testament to him and our staff. He came to us with nothing but some okay skills. He's now probably the best kick we have on both feet (honestly don't know if he's right or left footed). He's tough, hard, shrugs tackles and takes the game on. Reads the play extremely well.

Got a fair bit of toe too. I remember he tested well in almost everything at the state combine.

I also really liked Lyons on the weekend. Team high 18 contested possessions is doing exactly what we recruited him for. Hard inside and getting it out. Hope he keeps it up!

Does he? Did he? I can't recall that. I'm not sure he's got a whole bunch of raw speed to him, but he looks a bit quicker than he is because of superior placement and footy IQ.

Yeah I am sure of it. He was top 2 in most categories. I'll find it when I have some time.
Cheers mate. You are right about wrong week to miss out. Bowes also might be given a breather.
I just love this kid right from day one and he just gets better and better, he is gold standard by foot EVERY time and now starting to stand up to the opposition seems to really stay calm under the pump and chooses well, super happy for the young man
he does plenty but you dont see him much must be covered by opposition bodies

I tipped this! 6 out of 9 on the ESPN website!
Well played guys.
It's always great to see a champion like the great Mr Ablett make people eat humble pie, as well.
I was extra happy to see Brandon Matera do well as I had way too many bourbons one night many years ago with his dad, Wally, at the Willetton Sports Club in WA.

im missing the north game because my best friends birthday party is on
You're all amateur's.. when planning our wedding. Can't have it during football season as I'd miss games. Can't have during finals due to what if we made it.. But summer is cricket season. There is one guarantee; there will be Australia day cricket on the 26th.. Saturday is the 25th. Bang date picked. Then me, wife and whole bridal party head to Adelaide oval next day and get smashed.. It's all about priorities.
you have to say in JOM's wildest dream he could never have predicted the following turns of events:
Suns start 2 and 0 and have a shit start to the season
Hawthorn start 3 and 0 and have a shit start to the season
Suns have the game of their life and beat Hawks by 80 +
JOM plays like shit against old team and gets thrashed and embarrassed
Ends up joining a dynasty that is over, on the way down and heading for a massive rebuild with more pain than he ever endured at The Suns

Lesson here: join middling young teams like Collingwood / Melbourne if you want to be part of a dynasty. You don't join a team whose superstars are on the brink of retiring / have already retired.
Been reading the Hawks board, with much pleasure I may add and have decided that they are so privileged that that have become delusional.
Point 1, they have accepted they need a rebuild but fully expect it will happen ( no delusion there) and they will be challenging again in 2-3 years ( off with the fairies) they sold the farm to get JOM and have no picks next year (1st pick will be GWS 2nd rounder, likely to be 35-6) and they have nothing to trade that will ge t them a top 10 pick. Some may say they will buy in talent but Who will want to go and collect a couple of spoons?
Point 2, they are assuming past success guarantees future success and not only life in general but the AFL equalisation policy will make this impossible. I think the more likely outcome is the club may be in for a Richmond type 40 years in the desert type run..........delicious.
Point 3, Hawks fans have been so spoilt that a prelonged bad spell will see many fans drop off as we saw in the mid nineties after their last era of prolonged success that very well may lead to the type of collapse that had them merging with Melbourne.
Point 4 they have absolutely no respect for our club and as such I look forward to seeing the above come to fruition

plus they have had a massive brain drain of talent in management and footy department that Clarkson built and now the rest of the clubs have plundered
jesus it will be on for young and old might go down for that matchBest thing is we get to belt them again in June and on the MCG this time.
Yep and i think it's supposed to be Ablett's 300th and he loves playing the Hawks.Best thing is we get to belt them again in June and on the MCG this time.

And one of them mentioned umpire bias!!!Up to 3/4 time they were actually ahead on the free count despite us being dominant everywhere!!!!!
If it hadn't been for those 2 dodgy free-goals to Rioli and Roughead the scoreboard would have been even more woeful for them
