This. He's useless close to goal. He'd be of more use up the ground if Clarko is hell bent on getting him to 100 games.Wouldn't be unhappy with that. Hopefully TOB would be able to have more of an impact around the ground than he is up forward.

Comfortably exceeded his previous career best of 23 disposals. Pretty good follow up from last week, where he had 21 disposals. Very much in the mould of a Brent Guerra coming out of defence.
Wasn’t referring to you specifically. Don’t even recall see your post, I mostly just skim through.Not sure if you're referring to me with the 5 changes comment. If so, I have already said that beating this Essendon side by one point is not worthy of being a "no changes" kind of effort.
Agree. A major worry. Perhaps Cousins gets a crack.Need to find a different mix in the midfield, Mitchell, O’Meara, worpel , shiels just don’t offer a point of difference. They just don’t have attributes that can help improve the mix in the middle. Lots to work on.
Come on mate, I only saw bits and pieces because of my friends at Kayo and I've already burned my 28yr membership scarf - written to Jeff about Clarkson, dropped 105.456 players, changed the rules, blamed the umps, and have run out of bloody piss.Hawks beat bombers by 1 point -
Big Footy: “no change. Everyone is great!”
Hawks lose to reigning premiers -
Big Footy - “too many passengers! We need to drop 5 players.”
Agree. A major worry. Perhaps Cousins gets a crack.
Chad will get a look this week.

Said it last week, got howled down, but will say it again this week. TOB tends to do JUST enough to keep his place in the side. Bobbed up, took a big mark and kicked a flashy and important goal last week, went back to his bad old ineffective self this week...Yeah I don't expect that, but that's what I'd like to see.
TOB, Ceglar and Hanrahan need to be dropped because they are not good enough. Scrimshaw comes in regardless of Day's fitness. Two, maybe three changes need to be made.
Cousins and possibly Mcguiness would add to the problem. Need more players with Wingard speed and class and unfortunately for us Wingard is only a bit player in the midfield.[/QUOTE]Agree. A major worry. Perhaps Cousins gets a crack.

Their pressure causes hack kicks into oppo F50 too. It's like nothing I've seen. They're all on board. And they love it.I was pretty happy with that all things considered. They jumped us early and their pressure was great and caused us to waste plenty of chances to pressure them better on the scoreboard. Despite that we still stuck with them really well considering we're a young team that many have pegged as bottom 4 and they're trying to win a 3rd straight flag.
A bit more composure with our forward entries and we may have given them a scare. Really impressed with our backline who were able to prevent Richmond from scoring as heavily as they could have given the frequency of forward entries they were getting down the corridor.
Also sick of hearing about how good an aerial team Richmond is. Any team could be considered that if they were able to get away with pushing and holding as much as they were today. O'Brien was infringed all day and barely got a call for it.
Agree. Mitchell’s primary support act - Worpel, Shiels, O’Meara - add nothing that he can’t do, they just don’t do it as well as him. Wingard provides a point of difference in skill and speed.Boy do we badly miss Wingard. He has speed and elite kicking skills. Those are two things the inside midfield is lacking.
How good is to watch a game where Hawthorn loses and not notice a single umpire ?
It can be done.....
