A very crazy stat. Beaten them only 8 times in 25 years.Well considering after 25 years of existence we had beaten Hawthorn just 8 times.
We have won the last 4 games since Longmuir took over and the hawks are the only team he hasn't lost too.
So hopefully we win as we owe still them another 20 years of punishment.
I’m preparing to lose any remaining interest in this season tomorrow when Sturt is dropped while Banfield & Hughes keep their places & we don’t reward Treacy & Wilson for excellence WAFL form.
Oops!!and Freddy.Reckon Fyfe, Worner and Treacy/Corbett are in the mix.
How’s Breust been playing?Breust and CJ out.
Pretty damn good tbhHow’s Breust been playing?

He just goes missing though. Maybe 1 more.This.
Sturt needs to be kept in the side, needs the opportunity to string a few games together.
Whilst this is broadly true, have a look at his time on ground figures. Barely more than 50% in the last game, created 2 shots on goal and was dragged for Erasmus. I'm not saying he's a guaranteed star just that he doesn't need many touches to create scoreboard impact and if it clicks for him he could be 3-4 goal/game forward that plays smart.He just goes missing though. Maybe 1 more.
Banfield coming off two of the worst games of his career even by his own standards.He just goes missing though. Maybe 1 more.
Mitchell must really want Reid. Fair enough. We'll (hopefully) be happy to assist so WC don't get him.Breust and CJ out.
This.

It's impossible not to go missing in that role but all we want from it is 10-15 touches of quality and some decent pressure. I think Sturt is either directly having or creating 2-4 shots on goal a game. These are the key comparisons between the twoWhilst this is broadly true, have a look at his time on ground figures.

I just don't understand why he seems to held in such low regard by JL when we're screaming out for players who can make a difference at the moment but then I have no access to inside knowledge so who knows, its just my pet bugbear. Or one of them

Our whole forwardline didHe just goes missing though. Maybe 1 more.
Not really, half our board wanted CJ dropped anyway. Breust has been struggling in patches as well, last week looked well off the pace after half timeMitchell must really want Reid. Fair enough. We'll (hopefully) be happy to assist so WC don't get him.
Sturt also has pace to burn, is a longer more reliable kick for goal.It's impossible not to go missing in that role but all we want from it is 10-15 touches of quality and some decent pressure. I think Sturt is either directly having or creating 2-4 shots on goal a game. These are the key comparisons between the two

They are providing similar at the moment on numbers that matter for their spot, though I'd prefer Sturt's number on pure numbers alone. Importantly, despite touching it less, he provides as much or more offensive impact than Banfield does because most of Banfields touches are meangingless at best and negative at worst. I think pressure acts are as much an indication of work rate as anything but the massive difference between the two is we know after like 80 games, we are not getting more than this from Banfield, this is who he is. There is some hope Sturt can grow and give more

Breust already has 3x 3 goal games this seasonNot really, half our board wanted CJ dropped anyway. Breust has been struggling in patches as well, last week looked well off the pace after half time
They are both below average in everything just about. Ideally you wouldn't play either if both were on 50 games. Only one is.Sorry I beg to differ
The part where you say his touches are meaningless. Off the top of my head from the last game he was involved in two that resulted in goals or should have. The tap in the goal square and the quick handball around the 50 metre arc. Also few kicks that hit the forward in other games
Seen him run into the defensive half and middle which Sturt doesn't.
I get it. You and majority prefer Sturt with his youth, future prospect and X factor. But comparing the two now only on performance to say Sturt has been much better is bit of an embellishment
Okay. But that response outside everything else is about impacting games as it is. Not what could be but what isThey are both below average in everything just about. Ideally you wouldn't play either if both were on 50 games. Only one is.
