Should fit right in at the Dorks then. Who in their right mind thinks they look good in those shitty colours. No one, well maybe Brereton who also thinks his excretions don't stink. What JBattle sees is the colour of money . Its clear why Hawthorn is paying big bucks for Battle, he or someone like ...

Storm in a teacup. Nothing in it if Sicily hadn't acted like a sore loser and escalated. Was Ginnevan upset, in tears at being scolded, is he a sensitive flower? Hardly, just an average footballer wanting attention. All week the media pounded KH expecting his head on a plate and the Hawks caravan t...

Long time since his team lost. Seemed in shock and disbelief.

Ginnivan publicly disses Port, entire media corp says Hinkley is a dead man walking and post game Ken points out to Ginnivan he won't be flying to a prelim. Hawks can dish it but can't take it. Mitchell's characterisation in his presser was hyperbole of a disappointed man.

Slightly off point: is it faulty perception or are most AFL coaches getting noticeably tubby, like Ratts was? The trim ones seem scarce, Chris Scott, jockey-like McRea, others? Goodwin? Might be a function of sponsor dinners and or age but I think fitness staff have a job to do keeping the bosses ma...

Bevo may be eccentric or before his time, however if he doesn't rate Jack McCrea are we brave enough to second guess. Pass.

The elite fullbacks are possibly Taylor, Weitering and Andrews. The rest range from poor to good. Dougal seems high on the good level to me. It's not like excellent fullbacks are in abundance?

When did AR ‘force Hickey to play injured FFS 🤦‍♂️ wtf would he have had to do with Petracca going back on the ground?! Is Richo also responsible for Climate Change and starting Covid? I mean seriously?! Richo is highly unlikely to survive the external/internal review Dee's are arranging and appare...

I saw the contract. Normally there's a place to sign at the bottom of each page; each page of his contract had a half-page blank for his signature, because, you know, 'Dougs' and 'accuracy' are never in the same sentence 🤣🐵 What game did he win for us by a desperate touch on the goal line, ending u...

Forget McRea, forget Pretty Boy Smith, go for the Doggies' Garcia.
Two Garcias in the middle? Arriba, Arriba!
(A nightmare for BT calling it but, would never get his head around it)

Reckon Rozee will come out breathing fire.

What are the odds JHF starts on the ground.

See Players Association has called him out for going too far with second guessing Butters injury. That's a group he wouldn't want as an enemy in his line of work. Being so critical of your team's star mid without medical evidence to back it up suggest he pushes factual boundaries often but has gott...

Few coaches under clouds:
Voss, Bevo, Clarkson. Yze, Hinkley, Goodwin, BScott, possibly Longmuir. Understandable that contenders are not rushing for the Eagles gig, several vacancies opening in 2025.

Bit dismissive of Saints win over them. Entitled wank. Yes it was 60 to nil and every non Carlton supporter loved it.

I would like to see Timmy finish his career as a Saint. But I wish him only the best, if he has to go to another club. What an absolute bargain he was when he was first recruited from Sydney. He’s been a tireless competitor and a very handy forward whilst the club endured some lean years. Very skil...

I am attracted to that behavioural economics thing, do the hard yards, improve, play well = ongoing contract and wealthy life style. Otherwise no more contract. Applies to all playing and non playing employees. Hence so many off field changes.
The Saints are coming.......

Let's not over think it. It's the biggest, fastest, most skilful, savvy teams/players that win games by playing wellas a team. Coaches can stuff up good players but they can't change players physical characteristics. If that were possible Hinkley would have Dickson running faster than me, but he can...

If Lyon or any of his predecessors had improved us (playing an attractive style) as much as Mitchell has Hawks we would be over the moon. Closest I can remember is early 2004! Where were you for the last couple of months if not over the moon? Not too late to watch a couple of replays, say Swans, Es...

We’ll beat the hawks next time around I suspect you are correct. However Josh will still be a wealthy man with no care for the Club he owes it all too and his kids will get an excellent private school education even though there was no banner run through. His last game for us was unspectacular. Now...

Chicken or egg? Good players result in winning culture? Can you put lipstick on a pig and make it beautiful? I am not convinced Mitchell is a great coach and or great culture creator. Since July Hawks played 3 sides in the 8 in the minor round. Flogged by the Cats, just beaten by GWS, caught a hopel...

The club's position on the ladder is where we are at- doesn't matter how close we got, or if we were only a kick here and there from winning, good form late in the season blah blah. We were too far off the pace to challenge, and went backwards from last season and that's it. Need to address a lot o...

Bontempelli, Darcy, Red headed mid, Lobb; Cordy, Caminiti late in -first final, Byrnes had not reached his current form, Wood was not playing as well as now, Max not at his best. Sharman yet to blossom. Doggies had a realistic chance at top 4 this year, in 2023 we were hanging on to the 8 by our fi...

Fox reporting club is confident on pick 8 Like they were confident Battle would stay? This reeks of setting up excuses for trying to be too cute renegotiating with him. If we eventually get end of first round, the club/people will complain that the AFL has robbed us (the club maybe less directly), ...
