I'm sure we'll hear on the commentary telecast though that Fletcher has been playing since 1993 and how he played in that GF as a schoolboy and how the sun shines out his arse.

Smack the campaigner in the mouth.

That's fairly reasonable, leaving Hooker to take Hendo.
Having said that, instructing Hooker to run off Cas at evry opportunity and create play could be a huge driving force.

I think Hendo needs to go down back, it seems that's where he plays his best football & then either drop Rowe or Jones (depending on match ups) & bring Watson in to play forward.

Back to basics please....Walks to forward line, this will force Carlisle to go down back. Seeing another specky would make my day.

 

[viking12]

boekhorst, whiley and buckley all need to come in this week.

& bring Watson in to play forward.

Watson had 5 touches on the weekend playing against 17 year olds, if he gets picked then players getting picked on form is an absolute myth.

Step ladder is Carlisle's nickname.

Yep agreed, but at this stage with Jones & Rowe both struggling, I don't see how he could be any worse.....especially considering the day out he had last year against Essendon playing forward.

This could be our line in the sand game, unfortunately most of our blokes would start making sand castles.

 

[Feva]

Did anyone notice Sav Rocca working with Levi on his kicking at training in footage on AFL360?

Levi to kick a few Savalloys this Saturday!

No as I refuse to watch AFL360. Can't stand Robbo.

I did see a couple of pics in the HUN this morning.

Yes. And getting sand out of your hair can be difficult.

 

[Jade]

Hawthorn losing Frawley, Gibson, Mitchell and Shiels helped Essendon a fair bit I imagine though?

Yeah it did.

And losing Fletcher, Winderlich, Myers, Hocking helped the Hawks.

Luckily enough I haven't seen many Hawks fans trying to play that up as an excuse.

 

[jimsta10]

Just watched the highlights of 1AW's game on the weekend, outside mid roll.....speed and decision making was impeccable - me impressed.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Yes. And getting sand out of your hair can be difficult.

And other parts of the body.

I will only watch 360 if we win on Saturday, other than that I can't be bothered with that show.

 

[jimsta10]

Yeah it did.

Although I hate you blokes with a passion I would agree. Cant stand excuses.

 

[jezzajay]

they dont compare to the hawks collective so your response is weak...

Well Frawley isn't much chop, but aside from that yes, Mitchell, Shiels and Gibson are big losses. Hawthorn are a poorer side without them.

My response is just fine, because its perfectly valid. Hawks were missing ~4 best 22 players, as were Essendon.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Hawks played shithouse. Essendon beat them. That's all there is to it

Think you're doing BOTH Essendon and Hawthorn a disservice there.

Still how I feel about the game.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Yeah it did.

They don't need to play up any excuses. Everyone knows most of Essendon's team shouldn't be on the field

You mean everyone except those that actually matter?

Such as the tribunal?

Yes, congrats on getting away with it.
Carlton could learn something from Essendon about paper shredders
